How to find all the weapons in Resident Evil Village
There are nineteen weapons in Resident Evil Village - including one from the Trauma Pack DLC - which are obtained in four different ways. Firstly, several guns can be found lying around throughout the campaign in classic Resident Evil style. The second option is to purchase weapons from the Duke, though this is a rather costly process costing tens of thousands of Lei.
Once you complete the game you'll also get access to the Extra Content Shop where you'll get access to more guns and all their customisable parts, which can be bought using Challenge Points. The last few guns can also then be unlocked by beating the game on a specific difficulty, which will then appear in the Extra Content Shop also.
Here's the full list below:
Story Guns
- LEMI – A semi-automatic pistol given to you at the very start of the game as your default weapon.
- M1987 – Found after your first barricade sequence at the start of the game - you'll find it on the kitchen table of a nearby house while you're being chased by Lycans.
- M1911 - This handgun can be found in the safe in the workshop using the combination 070408.
- F2 Rifle - This sniper rifle can be found in the attic of Castle Dimitrescu, after solving the five bells puzzle.
- W870 TAC - With a higher ammo capacity and faster fire rate than the pump-action shotgun, this shotgun can be found in the garden On your way back from the Beneviento house.
- GM 79 – Essential for boss fights, this grenade launcher can be found in East Old Town after the wolf attack while on your way to Moreau. You'll have to use the Iron Insignia Key on the house marked 'Waterwheel Weapon'.
- M1851 Wolfbane - One of the best weapons in the game, this magnum can be found in Moreau's lab. It is marked as 'Moreau’s Hidden Weapon' on the map.
Duke’s Shop
Not all these guns are available from the Duke's shop straight away however - you'll have to wait until you're notified that there are new guns in store.
- V61 (120,000 Lei)
- SYG-12 Shotgun (180,000 Lei)
- S.T.A.K.E. Magnum (300,000 Lei)
- Samurai Edge (available for 200 Lei only if you have the Trauma DLC Pack)
You can also use the Duke to purchase upgrades to your weapons' power, rate of fire, reload speed and ammo capacity. If you fully upgrade a weapon and have finished the game, you can then purchase infinite ammo for that particular gun from the Extra Content Shop.
Extra Content Shop
Once you've completed the campaign and unlocked New Game+, you'll be able to use the Extra Content Shop. These guns must be unlocked from that bonus menu first using Challenge Points (CP), and then bought from the Duke with Lei.
- Karambit Knife - 10,000 CP at the bonus menu, 100 Lei from the Duke.
- USM-A1 Pistol - 20,000 CP at the bonus menu, 350 Lei at the Duke.
- Dragoon Assault Rifle - 30,000 CP at the bonus menu, 400 Lei at the Duke.

- Rocket Pistol – Beat the game on Village of Shadows difficulty, then 80,000 CP and 1,500 Lei.
