Find all weapons in Resident Evil 8 Village: We provide you with tips on all pistols, shotguns and more in Resident Evil 8. You get the most guns in the course of the game. The Resident Evil Village bonus shop provides you with more weapons.
We offer you a list of all weapons that you can find in the game and unlock via the shop. In addition to an upgrade option for the Duke, there are also mods for the guns that improve the weapon stats.
Attention: Especially for the later weapons and the bonus weapons you will not find all of these modifications in the first playthrough.
A total of 9 hidden weapons can be found in the levels of Resident Evil 8. The Duke will sell you two of them as soon as you reach the Heisenbergs factory. In addition to the V61 custom pistol (fully automatic), this is also the SYG-12 shotgun.
You will need a lot of lei to buy both ratchets. In addition, after playing through for the first time, you will receive the bonus shop, in which you can unlock weapons for Globe Live Media – which you also receive achievements and trophies. You then buy this from the Duke for playing through the game.
Many of the modifications for these weapons, however, can only be bought in Resident Evil Village’s NG +. We list all pistols, shotguns or assault rifles in the following overview and reveal where you can get the mods for them.
With the Duke you can also level up the damage, rate of fire, reload speed and magazine size of the weapons. We recommend clear magazine size and damage first. With shotguns and the sniper rifle, you also pay attention to the reload speed and rate of fire.
If you haven’t started your adventure yet, we recommend our Resident Evil Village beginner’s guide with tips for a successful start to the game.
