Are you curious about all the Resident Evil 4 weapons as well as the best Resident Evil 4 weapons you can use in your playthrough? Well, we have you covered with a deep and thorough dive into the full list of more than a dozen weapons you can get in your playthrough, as well as which ones stand out.
Due to the addition of weapon upgrades in Resident Evil 4, this list isn't the same as the weapons which reigned the original game. So, with the remake shaking things up, you can expect some new challenges as you make your way through the Resident Evil 4 chapters and find all of these Resident Evil 4 remake weapon locations.
Fighting Knife
The Fighting Knife is unlocked after you beat Krauser fairly late into the game. But once you have it and take it into a new game plus playthrough, it will be your sidekick both when Ashley is with you and when she isn’t.
Red 9
Red 9 can be found in the lake and it is one of the strongest pistols in the game, dealing a substantial amount of damage. Its spread is quite large but it can be honed with some of the Resident Evil 4 best weapon upgrades. However, you won’t be able to turn back once it is in your inventory.
Broken Butterfly
The Broken Butterfly is this game’s version of the powerhouse Magnum revolver. Utilising the powerful Magnum ammo, it can deal a ton of damage in one area, ending bosses in seconds with just a few shots. But, you want to be cautious with how much ammo you use.
Stingray
The Stingray is the optimum rifle in the game with a large magazine and just as great stats as all the others. It is the most stable of the lot and the most reliable, which is why it makes it on this list over some other guns.
Riot Gun
The Riot Gun is the most reliable shotgun in Resident Evil 4, especially once you have properly upgraded it. The others have their own downsides and this one gets better with each enhancement, so there really is no reason not to use it over the others.
Chicago Sweeper
The Chicago Sweeper is our choice for SMG in Resident Evil 4 with its high magazine and damage output. You will have to put in a bit of work to get it and the Resident Evil 4 remake infinite ammo version of it, but once you have it, the weapon will be vital to your loadout.
Rocket Launcher
Of course, you can’t ignore the Rocket Launcher. This weapon may have extremely limited uses but if you know a particularly tough boss is coming up, it can end it with just one rocket. And, while it does take up a lot of space, it could save your life.
