Unleash Unlimited Mayhem: Your Guide to Infinite Ammo in Resident Evil Village

Want to turn Ethan Winters into an unstoppable force of nature in Resident Evil Village? The key is unlocking infinite ammo. To do this, you need to fully upgrade a weapon at the Duke’s shop during a playthrough. Once fully upgraded, you can then purchase infinite ammo for that weapon from the Extra Content Shop (Bonus Shop) using Challenge Points (CP), earned by completing various in-game challenges. Finish the game, and you’re ready to wreak havoc with bottomless magazines in your next playthrough! Let’s dive deeper into the details of how to achieve this coveted status of infinite ammo in Resident Evil Village.

Understanding the Infinite Ammo System

The system of unlocking unlimited ammunition in Resident Evil Village is directly tied to in-game progress, specifically your ability to complete the main story and gather challenge points. The steps, in detail, are as follows:

1. Complete the Game: Finish a full playthrough of Resident Evil Village on any difficulty. This unlocks the Extra Content Shop, your gateway to infinite ammo and other bonuses.
2. Choose Your Weapon: Select a weapon you want to use with unlimited ammo. This decision is crucial, as you need to fully upgrade it before infinite ammo becomes available.
3. Upgrade Your Chosen Weapon: Throughout your playthrough, collect Lei (the in-game currency) and visit the Duke (the merchant) frequently. Upgrade your chosen weapon’s stats (Power, Rate of Fire, Reload Speed, Ammo Capacity) to their maximum levels. Fully upgrade your weapon of choice.
4. Earn Challenge Points (CP): While playing through Resident Evil Village, complete various challenges listed within the in-game challenge menu. These challenges range from killing specific enemies in certain ways to completing the game under specific conditions. Completing them will award you with Challenge Points (CP)
5. Unlock Infinite Ammo: Once your weapon is fully upgraded, head to the Extra Content Shop (Bonus Shop) from the main menu. You’ll see the option to purchase infinite ammo for your upgraded weapon using CP. The cost varies depending on the weapon, but it’s an investment well worth making.
6. Start a New Game+: Begin a New Game+ using your cleared save file. This carries over your weapons, upgrades, and, most importantly, your unlocked infinite ammo.
7. Enjoy the Endless Firepower: Load your New Game+ save, equip your chosen weapon, and experience the joy of never having to worry about running out of bullets again!

Weapon Selection: Strategic Considerations

Choosing the right weapon to upgrade for infinite ammo is a key decision that significantly impacts your New Game+ experience. Here’s what to consider:

• Playstyle: Do you prefer close-quarters combat or long-range engagements? Choose a weapon that complements your preferred playstyle.
• Weapon Availability: Some weapons are only available later in the game, making them less practical for upgrading during your first playthrough.
• Cost of Upgrades: Consider the total cost of fully upgrading a weapon. Some weapons require significantly more Lei than others.
• CP Cost: Review the cost of infinite ammo for each weapon to ensure you can afford it with the CP you earn.
• Personal Preference: Ultimately, choose a weapon you enjoy using. Infinite ammo is most effective when paired with a gun you’re comfortable with.

Tips for Efficiently Earning CP and Lei

Maximizing your CP and Lei earnings is essential for unlocking infinite ammo quickly. Here are some tips:

• Complete Challenges Diligently: Pay attention to the challenge list and actively pursue challenges throughout your playthrough. Some challenges are easier to complete than others, so prioritize those.
• Sell Treasures: Collect and sell treasures found throughout the game world to the Duke. These treasures are a valuable source of Lei.
• Conserve Ammo: Conserve ammo by using melee attacks or weaker weapons on weaker enemies. This will save you Lei in the long run.
• Explore Thoroughly: Explore every nook and cranny of the map to find hidden treasures and resources.
• Play on Higher Difficulties: Playing on higher difficulties can increase the amount of Lei earned, but it also increases the challenge. Find a balance that works for you.

Related FAQs: Unleashing the Full Potential

Here are some frequently asked questions that will provide additional information to help you.

1. Do I have to keep the upgraded gun in my inventory to achieve unlimited ammo?

Yes, to be more specific, if the gun has been fully upgraded then the ability to purchase infinite ammo for it is unlocked, but if it isn’t in your inventory at the end of your completed game save file then you’ll have to buy it back once you hit the merchant again.

2. What is the best infinite ammo weapon in Resident Evil Village?

That depends on your playstyle. The Dragoon with infinite ammo can turn you into a one-person army. But the STAKE Magnum is also a top choice, especially for taking down tough bosses. It also depends if you prefer unlimited bullets or no money needed to make the purchase.

3. Do guns carry over to New Game+ in RE8?

Absolutely! Just about everything you earned in the game will carry over. Every item in Ethan’s briefcase, from guns to fish meat.

4. How much does it cost to max out the STAKE Magnum?

The total cost to max out the STAKE, including the gun itself and its attachments, can reach over 2 million Lei. You will only need as much money as the most expensive weapon, i.e. 2 million Lei for the STAKE.

5. Is the Wolfsbane or STAKE better?

They serve different purposes. Wolfsbane does a ton more damage vs lycans than the stake. They are tools used to silence.

6. Is the LEMI or M1911 better?

The fact of the matter is that the LEMI’s damage output is too low for any encounter beyond the Lake, and even that’s pushing things. Players should definitely sell the LEMI once they find the M1911. The Stronghold in particular is a nightmare waiting to happen for anyone still using the LEMI.

7. Is the sniper rifle worth it in Resident Evil Village?

8 F2 Sniper Rifle. Despite being obtained so early into the game, the F2 Sniper Rifle is one of the absolute best guns in Resident Evil Village. Fully maxed out, the Sniper Rifle is about as strong as a base Magnum – which is already beastly.

8. Is it worth upgrading the LEMI?

The LEMI Handgun, which is the first firearm Ethan finds in the story, isn’t worth holding onto for the whole game, but it’s going to be the players’ main weapon in Castle Dimitrescu during a first playthrough, so it’s worth upgrading.

9. Which Magnum is better in RE8?

The STAKE Magnum is the strongest weapon in Resident Evil Village but is only available for purchase in New Game Plus. The Duke will sell the STAKE for 300,000 Lei on any cleared files. The STAKE has two expensive attachments worth buying as well: the Extended Mag for 180,000 Lei and Improved Grip for 120,000 Lei.

10. What is the best shotgun in RE8?

SYG-12. Shotguns are a must-have in any Resident Evil game due to the power they have behind them. And having a semi-automatic shotgun in RE8 can be a lot of fun. The SYG-12 is a great shotgun with a power amount of 1600 obtained after entering Heisenberg’s factory from the Duke’s store.

11. How much Lei can you get in one playthrough?

You will earn about 700k Lei for one full playthrough on normal difficulty. I suspect, being about halfway through, it’s around 1 million for a Village of Shadows completion. This means it likely takes 4 playthroughs (after first completion) on VOS difficulty to fully upgrade everything.

12. Which weapon should I upgrade in Resident Evil Village?

Players should fully upgrade the F2 Sniper Rifle by the end of the first playthrough (especially to unlock Infinite Ammo in the Bonus Shop), but prioritize Power and Rate of Fire first. It also helps to purchase the Cheek Rest attachment from the Duke to reduce the Sniper Rifle’s sway when aiming down the scope.

13. Why is 777 so special?

“The Boeing 777’s unique combination of superior range, outstanding fuel efficiency and passenger-preferred comfort has created long-range success for carriers around the world. And the 777-300ER now gives operators a perfect opportunity to extend that success. The number 777 is an easter egg in the game, to get a hidden achievement and to get some Lei.

14. What is the strongest handgun in RE8?

10 The V61 Custom Handgun. With all three upgrades installed in the V61 Custom, it becomes the most powerful handgun Resident Evil Village has to offer.

15. Is it ok to sell the LEMI in RE8?

Players should definitely sell the LEMI once they find the M1911. To find the M1911, head to the Workshop area of the Village after leaving Castle Dimitrescu and enter this code into the safe in the northwest house: 070408.
