The Blacktail is a compact yet powerful handgun, which can pack quite a punch when it has been upgraded, making it a good choice for use often.
It can be a good replacement for Leon’s standard handgun but it lacks the ability to be equipped with an accessory.
Once fully upgraded, this handgun is capable of taking enemies out quickly and works well when it comes to staggering enemies you want to use melee attacks on.
