Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Resident Evil Requiem boasts a rich weapon system, ranging from pistols, shotguns, rifles, and SMGs to melee weapons and heavy firepower. Most equipment can be acquired on the first playthrough through exploration, however, some items require more thorough searching or are only unlocked after completing the game.

Capcom also divides the arsenal of weapons in Resident Evil Requiem by character: some equipment is exclusive to Grace, and some is exclusive to Leon.

In addition to the weapons found in the storyline, the game also includes a 'Bonus Content' section, allowing players to unlock special equipment using CP (Challenge Points) – reward points earned by completing challenges and defeating enemies throughout the game.

Let's explore the locations and methods for obtaining various weapons in this Resident Evil Requiem guide from tipsplay.net .

Resident Evil Requiem Guide

Below is a list of weapons that can be found in the first playthrough, or appear by default in the character's inventory.

1. Alligator Snapper

Character: Leon
Type: Semi-automatic pistol
Location: Available from the start of the game

Leon's default pistol is powerful enough to be used effectively throughout his journey.

2. Requiem

Characters: Leon & Grace
Type: High-firepower pistol
Location: Available from the start of the game

The Requiem revolver uses 12.7x55mm ammunition and deals extremely high damage. Due to the scarcity of ammunition, the Requiem should only be used in emergencies, such as when facing sub-bosses.

3. B934

images 3 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Grace
Type: Semi-automatic pistol
Location: On the dining floor, West Wing of Care Center

A compact handgun, its role is similar to Ethan's Lemi in Resident Evil Village , a temporary weapon until the player acquires a better handgun.

4. S&S M232

Character: Grace
Type: Semi-automatic pistol
Location: On the bar counter of the Bar & Lounge area, on the 2nd floor, West Wing of Care Center.

This was originally Grace's default weapon, but she lost it at the Wrenwood Hotel at the beginning of the game. For some unknown reason, it reappeared at the Rhode Hill Care Center. With superior stats compared to the B934, prioritizing this weapon is a no-brainer.

5. Makeshift Knife and Hunting Knife

Character: Grace
Type: Melee
Location: Scattered throughout the area

The Makeshift Knife and the Hunting Knife are two types of knives Grace can find on her journey. Their role is quite similar to the knives in Resident Evil Remake 2, as they are durable and can be used to escape from zombies when caught. They cannot be sharpened like Leon's melee weapons.

6. MSBG 500

Character: Leon
Type: Shotgun
Location: After returning to Leon's role, players will be able to find this shotgun next to the Chunk boss in the Attic area.

7. Hand Grenade

Character: Leon
Type: Grenade
Location: Scattered across various areas

Effective for dealing with groups of zombies or stunning large enemies. After picking up a Hand Grenade, Leon will also unlock the recipe for Stacked Hand Grenade, combining two grenades to create a larger explosion.

8. Classic 70

images 8 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Single-shot bolt-action rifle
Location: Automatically unlocks according to the storyline after the player controls Leon in the Courtyard area. The scope can be removed or replaced with another type.

9. Gal

images 9 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: SMG
Location: Submerged underground parking lot, East Raccoon City

High rate of fire but strong recoil, effective in short bursts. Unless purchased through the BSAA system, this will be the only SMG a player can access.

10. Marksman 1A

images 10 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Semi-automatic rifle
Location: The green BSSA cargo container at the end of East Raccoon City main street.

The rate of fire and reloading is fast, but the damage is not as high as the Classic 70. The scope can be detached for increased effectiveness at close range.

11. W870 Police

images 11 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Shotgun
Location: After entering Kendo Gunshop, one of Raccoon City's familiar locations, the player will experience a cutscene. After it ends, turn around and you'll find the gun on the shelf.

12. Mortal Edge

images 12 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Axe
Position: Defeating the Commander boss in Ark.
Mortal Edge is no different from the default hatchet axe in terms of appearance, but it's a comprehensive upgrade in damage and durability.

13. Bottle of Acid

images 13 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Grace
Type: Throwable item
Location: Found by Grace in various locations; can be crafted after she learns the recipe at ARK.

Bottle of Acid is a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid, particularly effective when used on enemies with exposed flesh. Upon impact, the acid inflicts severe damage due to its ability to directly corrode the opponent's body.

14. Rip Knife

images 14 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Grace
Type: Melee
Location: Only obtainable when playing in Insanity Mode:
- Exchange 5x Antique Coins at Parlor to get this weapon.
- Analyze other blood samples in the 1F Waiting Room Closet to obtain the RIP Knife crafting recipe.
- Additionally, Grace can find more knives in various other areas.

The RIP Knife is a special knife that generates more health when attacking enemies, giving Grace more resources to craft items.

15. Compensator for Alligator Snapper

images 15 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Weapon accessories
Location: After defeating Chunk, go through the locked door and check the Warped Closet immediately to the right.

This item was found in the Warped Closet right after Leon defeated Chunk and opened the door ahead.

When attached to Leon's starting pistol, the Alligator Snapper, this accessory reduces muzzle rise, thereby improving control during burst fire. It's a small but useful upgrade, easily overlooked if players don't carefully check the area.

16. Molotov Cocktail

images 16 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Grace
Type: Throwable item
Location: Found by Grace in various locations; can be crafted after she learns the recipe at Care Center Basement.

The Molotov Cocktail is a bottle containing a flammable liquid. Upon impact, it ignites and incinerates the surrounding area in a sea of flames. This is an effective option for crowd control or inflicting widespread damage on multiple enemies simultaneously, especially in confined spaces.

17. Silver Finish Scope for Classic 70

images 17 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

Character: Leon
Type: Weapon accessories
Location: RPD Parking Garage, rear of the building; unlocks after Tyrant encounter.

The Silver Finish Scope for Classic 70 is a scope accessory that can be found in a container at the back of the RPD building's Parking Garage. This area is only accessible after Leon encounters the Tyrant and goes around to the back of the building.

When equipped on the Classic 70 bolt-action sniper rifle, this scope significantly increases magnification, allowing for accurate aiming at long distances. This is a crucial upgrade if you want to optimize your sniping role in wide areas with many distant threats.

Weapons Supply Box

Supply Box is a weapons trading system established by the BSAA in Raccoon City. Leon can purchase guns and ammunition at Supply Box by spending 'Credit' points, which are earned by defeating zombies and BOWs.

Leon doesn't have the ability to store items in crates like Grace; instead, his unused weapons can be sold at the Supply Box.

1. Silencer 9

images 18 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

The Handgun has a built-in suppressor, making it suitable for stealth gameplay.

2. 990-Tac

images 19 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

This semi-automatic shotgun has a low spread and can be fitted with a dot sight, providing significantly better accuracy than the MSBG 500.

3. Stiri REVO3 A1

images 20 of Resident Evil Requiem Guide: All Weapons and Detailed Unlock Instructions

The game's second SMG, which can be fitted with a stock for increased accuracy. The REVO3 A1's maximum accuracy far surpasses that of the Gal.

'Bonus Content' Weapon (Unlocked with CP)

After completing the game, players can use Challenge Points (CP) to unlock special weapons. Weapons unlocked with CP can be obtained from Supply Boxes (Leon) or Item Boxes (Grace).

Weapons	Price	Information
Matilda IMP (Leon)	500 CP	Leon's iconic pistol from previous games. It has a burst firing capability of 3 rounds.
Ghost Grudge (Leon)	1000 CP	The game's second revolver, using 12.7x55mm ammunition similar to the Requiem, is the weapon of the villain Victor Gideon.
Mortal Edge (Leon)	3000 CP	This is still the axe obtained by defeating the Commander. Unlocking it with CP points will allow Leon to access it earlier at the Supply Box.
Redemption (Leon)	3500 CP	This is the villain Zeno's handgun. Although classified as a handgun, Redemption will use rifle ammunition.
Freya's Needle (Grace)	4000 CP	A handgun designed for automatic fire. Uses handgun ammunition.
Kotetsu (Grace)	5000 CP	A knife that can't break for Grace.
Clatter Carbine (Leon)	6000 CP	Assault rifle, uses SMG ammunition. A suppressor is fitted.
RPG-7 (Leon)	15000 CP	Rocket launcher

Note: Unlocking Mortal Edge in the 'bonus content' is relatively important, as the 'New Game Plus' mode of Resident Evil Requiem will not retain collected weapons or their upgrades.

Additionally, unlocking the Ghost Grudge for Leon is also an advantage in the 'New Game Plus' mode, because in the Rhodes Hill center stage, after Leon gives the Requiem to Grace, the Ghost Grudge will still provide him with a high-powered weapon using 12.7x55mm ammunition.
