Automatically obtained in the East Wing storage room early in Chapter 1.
The B934 is equipped automatically when you begin a new game or start Grace's chapter sequence.
After the opening cutscene, the B934 is available in your inventory as you explore the East Wing.
The B934 should be replaced by the S&S M232 once you reach the Care Center Bar and Lounge in Chapter 3.
- Available from the start of Grace's campaign.
- Uses common 9mm ammo, which is plentiful in early chapters.
- Reliable for headshots on slow common enemies.
- No risk of missing the pickup because it is automatic.
- Outclassed by the S&S M232 in damage, stability, and precision.
- Low stagger potential compared to later handguns.
- Not worth heavy upgrade investment.
- Struggles against mini-bosses and armored enemies.
Slight increase to base damage.
Marginally faster reload animation.
Small magazine size increase from 8 to 10 rounds.
Grace:
- Clearing common zombies in early chapters before better weapons are available.
- Shooting environmental objects and light puzzles that require a ranged trigger.
- Conserving shotgun and rifle ammo for tougher enemies in later chapters.
- Emergency weapon when primary weapons need repair or are empty.
- Use it for common zombies and light puzzles only.
- Don't invest too many resources in upgrades; save them for the M232.
- Switch to the S&S M232 as soon as possible for better stagger potential.
- Headshots still matter with the B934, but its low stability makes rapid fire less accurate.
- Repair is cheap early on, so don't be afraid to use it heavily in Chapter 1.
The B934 is Grace’s default handgun in Resident Evil Requiem. It is serviceable in the early chapters but should be replaced by the S&S M232 once you reach the West Wing. This guide covers the B934’s stats, starting location, best upgrades, and when to stop using it.
Why the B934 Exists
The B934 is designed to teach Grace’s handgun mechanics before better weapons become available. It handles common zombies well but struggles against anything with armor or high health. Treat it as a disposable early-game tool, not a long-term investment.
Where to Get the B934
The B934 is automatically equipped when you start Grace’s campaign. You do not need to find it. It appears in your inventory after the opening cutscene in the East Wing storage room.
B934 Stats and Damage Values
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Base Damage | 280 per shot |
| Headshot / Weak Point | 450 per shot |
| Approximate DPS | 420 sustained |
| Magazine Capacity | 8 rounds |
| Ammo Type | 9mm Handgun Ammo |
| Ammo Rarity | Common |
| Effective Range | Medium |
| Stability | 1.0 / 5 |
| Precision | 1.0 / 5 |
The B934’s low stability makes rapid fire inaccurate. Fire slowly and aim for headshots against common zombies.
Should You Upgrade the B934?
In most cases, no. Save your upgrade materials for the S&S M232. If you are struggling in Chapter 1 or 2, the safest upgrades are:
- Capacity — Reduces reload frequency, which helps in rooms with multiple enemies.
- Power — Slightly increases damage, useful if you have spare materials.
- Reload speed — Marginally helpful, but not a priority.
B934 vs S&S M232
| Feature | B934 | S&S M232 |
|---|---|---|
| Damage | Low-Medium | Medium |
| Stability | Low | High |
| Precision | Average | High |
| Stagger Potential | Low | High with stabilizers |
| Best Use | Chapter 1-2 | Rest of campaign |
The M232 is better in every meaningful way. Switch as soon as you can.
Tips for Using the B934
- Use it for common zombies and light puzzles.
- Don’t invest too many resources in upgrades; save them for the M232.
- Switch to the M232 as soon as possible for better stagger potential.
- Headshots still matter with the B934, but its low stability makes rapid fire less accurate.
