All weapons in Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem has a lot of different weapons that work well for both stealth and action-heavy gameplay. During the game, players rotate between Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy. Depending on the scenario and how far along the story is, each character gets access to different weaponry.

The game encourages players to explore every region to obtain better gear, from basic handguns and melee weapons to heavy rifles, shotguns, and additional unlocks. You can also improve several weapons by using supply boxes. This increases their damage, fire rate, and ammo capacity. Advanced tuning unlocks greater upgrade levels later in the game, which makes guns even better against tougher adversaries and bosses.
