The RC-P90 is a powerful, accurate personal defense weapon with massive magazine capacity. It is fairly rare, only appearing in three of the game's missions. It is able to shoot through many objects, including doors. A single shot causes slightly more damage than a Phantom or AR-33, but the power is just short of the Cougar Magnum or the Moonraker Laser.

Notes
- This weapon is based on the real-world FN P90. No prerelease screenshots using this name are known to exist, but an unused text string can be found for it in Perfect Dark. This string seems to have been lifted from the ones used by GoldenEye's inventory during development.
- It's possible that this weapon's fictional name was inspired by the Reality Co-Processor, the Nintendo 64's graphics processing chip.
- In the Water Caverns, it is possible to find guards dual wielding the RC-P90. These guards will only show up after Trevelyan disappears into the elevator.
- The RC-P90 was featured in Perfect Dark as the RC-P45.
- The weapon was voted #4 in GameFly's Best. Weapons. Ever.
- The RC-P90 was #6 on UGO's list of The 50 Best Weapons of All Time.
- The FN P90 only holds 50 rounds in its magazine. It is speculated that the RC-P90's 80 magazine is actually a mistake due to directly giving the RC-P90 0x50 (that is, 80 in hexadecimal) bullets rather than 0x32 (50 in decimal).
- The RC-P90 has the largest magazine capacity in the game.
