The Mine Thrower costs 28,000₧ in the initial Gamecube release and 9,800₧ in all ports. A custom scope can be bought for 8,000₧. It is first available in Chapter 3-1. The Mine Thrower takes up 10 spaces (5x2) of Leon's inventory. The scope takes up an additional 4 spaces (2x2). Ammunition for the Mine Thrower will not appear unless Leon has this weapon in his inventory. Mine-Darts are relatively rare and dropped by enemies and crates at random. Equipping the scope will replace the Mine Thrower's laser aiming device with said attachment. The scope gives additional zoom to aid shooting.
