Resident Evil 4 – Unlockable Costumes And Bonus Weapons Guide

Resident Evil 4 Remake has numerous goodies that you can unlock. However, several will require multiple completions, as well as a bit of know-how for more efficient clears. Here’s our Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide to help you with all the weapons and costumes that you can obtain in the game.

Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide – Weapons, costumes, and accessories

Our Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide takes a look at the different items that can be yours once you finish the game. All of these can be acquired via the main menu -> Bonus Content -> Extra Content Shop, where each selection costs Completion Points (i.e., what you earn when you complete challenges/achievements in the campaign). You may then equip these by clicking Main Story -> Extras.

Ranks – Campaign completion scoring system

Additionally, some rewards are further subdivided based on game modes and clear rankings (usually dependent on completion time). As such, you can’t get everything in one go. Here’s the gist:

For instance, if you’re attempting an S+ rank run, then you’ll need to be very familiar with the game already. Knowing when to avoid enemies, and being able to clear the campaign as fast as possible would be the end goal. Moreover, since New Game+ isn’t allowed, you’ll have to start a fresh run without weapon upgrades or items that you’ve collected. However, some bonus weapons can be picked up from the storage, and they can be upgraded as you progress.

Resident Evil 4 Remake unlockable weapons

• Primal Knife – Can be unlocked after destroying all 16 Clockwork Castellans (any difficulty mode). You can learn more in our Clockwork Castellans guide.
• Infinite Rocket Launcher – Start a New Game+ run. The Merchant will sell this for two million pesetas, so make sure you’ve saved up a bit and can sell a lot of treasures/upgraded weapons.
• Chicago Sweeper (also known as the Tommy Gun or the Chicago Typewriter in the original game) – A-rank; Professional difficulty.
• Handcannon – Professional difficulty; no bonus weapons allowed (i.e., Primal Knife and Chicago Sweeper).

Note that these weapons are earned through achieving certain in-game milestones. For the complete list of weapons you can purchase or otherwise find in Resident Evil 4 Remake, check out our guide to all Resident Evil 4 weapons.

Most of these Resident Evil 4 Remake unlockable costumes and accessories simply require a regular campaign completion (i.e., any difficulty mode/no time limit).
