A story sequence weapon: Leon gives Grace the Requiem during the Care Center, and it returns to Leon later in the campaign.
- Highest per-shot damage in Grace's hands.
- Only five rounds per cylinder — every shot counts.
- Rare 12.7x55mm ammo.
- Slow cylinder reload; small capacity punishes missed shots.
Supply Box upgrades
Grace:
- Boss fights where you need heavy damage per shot.
- Popping Blister Borne's orange cysts from a safe distance.
- Emergency stagger on fast enemies that close the gap.
- Save 12.7x55mm rounds for bosses and mini-bosses; use the S&S M232 for common enemies.
- Always aim for weak points. Body shots waste the Requiem's damage.
- Upgrade via the Supply Box — power-focused parts like the Barrel Jacket are the priority.
The Requiem is an assault revolver chambered in 12.7x55mm — often mislabeled as a rifle. It is Leon’s weapon, handed to Grace during the Care Center story sequence (and returned to him later in the campaign). It cannot be missed.
Why the Requiem Matters
Grace’s campaign is built around resource management, but boss fights demand burst damage — that’s the Requiem’s job. With only five rounds per cylinder and rare ammo, every shot must count. Think of the S&S M232 as the daily driver and the Requiem as the boss-killer.
How to Get the Requiem
It is a guaranteed story handoff from Leon to Grace during the Care Center sequence. No exploration, no puzzle — it appears in Grace’s inventory at the scripted point.
Upgrades
The Requiem is upgraded through the Supply Box; power parts such as the Barrel Jacket (~7,000cr) are the priority for boss damage.
Best Bosses to Use the Requiem Against
Blister Borne
Pop the orange cysts from across the arena with magnum rounds — safest way to open the fight.
Emily Transformed
High per-shot damage fits the short punish windows in the Emily fight.
