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

So, you’re ready to unleash a torrent of lead upon the horrors of Resident Evil Village without ever worrying about reloading? Excellent choice! Getting your hands on unlimited ammo transforms the game from a tense survival horror experience into a power fantasy where you can really take the fight to those Lycans. But how exactly do you achieve this coveted state of perpetual firepower?

The process boils down to this:

1. Beat the Game: This is the key. You must complete Resident Evil Village at least once on any difficulty.

2. Challenge Points (CP): Completing the game unlocks Challenges, a series of in-game accomplishments. These challenges award you Challenge Points (CP).

3. The Extra Content Shop: Upon beating the game, you gain access to the Extra Content Shop in the main menu. This is where you spend your CP.

4. Fully Upgrade Your Weapon: In order to unlock infinite ammo for a particular weapon, you will need to fully upgrade the gun at the Duke’s Emporium during a playthrough.

5. Purchase Infinite Ammo: In the Extra Content Shop, you can purchase the infinite ammo unlock for weapons you have fully upgraded.

6. Buy the Gun (If Necessary): For weapons like the Dragoon, you must also purchase the gun itself from the Extra Content Shop before it becomes available from the Duke in subsequent playthroughs. Simply unlocking infinite ammo isn’t enough; the Duke needs the base gun in stock!

7. New Game Plus: Start a New Game Plus using your cleared save file.

8. Duke’s Emporium: Visit the Duke, the merchant, during your new playthrough. The guns for which you have unlocked infinite ammo will now be available for purchase (if you didn’t already own them in your previous playthrough). Remember, if you unlocked the infinite ammo for a weapon but sold that weapon at the end of your playthrough, you will need to buy it back.

With infinite ammo unlocked for your desired weapon, you’re ready to paint the village red! But which weapons are worth the effort, and what other nuances are there to this process? Let’s delve into some frequently asked questions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the best weapon to unlock infinite ammo for?

There’s no single “best,” but several stand out. The S.T.A.K.E. Magnum is a popular choice, boasting incredible power and turning you into a true force to be reckoned with. However, it’s expensive to fully upgrade. The WCX assault rifle offers a good balance of firepower, accuracy, and upgrade cost, making it a viable alternative. Ultimately, it depends on your playstyle. Also, many players find the Grenade Launcher to be a great option for crowd control with infinite ammo.

Dragoon vs. Rocket Launcher: Which is the better infinite ammo option (no money needed)?

This is a tricky comparison. The Dragoon is an excellent choice for a readily available infinite ammo option. However, if you are looking for sheer destructive power, the infinite rocket launcher is still the king. But it comes at a very high CP price. Since you mentioned “no money needed,” we’re prioritizing CP efficiency. The Dragoon is cheaper to unlock, and its sustained firepower is invaluable throughout the game.

How much does it cost to fully upgrade the S.T.A.K.E.?

Plan on spending around 2.1 million Lei to fully upgrade the S.T.A.K.E. Magnum. It’s a hefty investment, but the payoff is immense.

Is it worth upgrading weapons and then selling them?

Yes! Fully upgrading a weapon unlocks infinite ammo, but then, you can sell the upgraded weapon, and use those funds to buy a new weapon. The amount you get back is not the full amount you used to upgrade the weapon.

Should I buy ammo from the Duke?

Only buy ammo in emergencies. Conserve your Lei for weapon upgrades, crafting recipes, and rare items. With proper resource management, you can usually get by without purchasing ammo, especially once you start unlocking infinite ammo options.

What should I not sell to the Duke?

Don’t sell meat! You need it for cooking upgrades that provide permanent stat boosts. Also, don’t sell unique story items or key items required to progress. The game usually makes it clear which items are safe to sell, typically those described as “Valuable” or “Very Valuable”.

Does Resident Evil Village get easier on subsequent playthroughs?

Yes, significantly! Knowing enemy placements, puzzle solutions, and having access to powerful upgraded weapons (especially with infinite ammo) makes the game much more manageable. You can also adjust the difficulty down to Casual if you’re struggling, although this might impact your CP gains from challenges.

Should I sell everything described as “Valuable” or “Very Valuable”?

Yes, absolutely! These items are purely for selling and have no other purpose. They’re a great source of Lei for funding your weapon upgrades.

WCX or Dragoon: Which assault rifle is better?

The WCX is arguably better in terms of customization and upgrade potential. However, the Dragoon has the unique advantage of being unlockable with infinite ammo from the get-go (provided you purchase the base gun in the Extra Content Shop). If you’re prioritizing immediate, limitless firepower, the Dragoon is a solid choice. If you want more versatility and customization, go for the WCX.

Wolfsbane or S.T.A.K.E.: Which magnum is superior?

The S.T.A.K.E. is generally considered the superior magnum due to its higher damage output and overall effectiveness against a wider range of enemies. The Wolfsbane has increased damage against Lycans.

Which guns should I sell?

Sell duplicate weapon types. For example, once you get a better shotgun, sell your old one. There’s no bonus for keeping older weapons.

How many guns are in Resident Evil Village?

There are a total of 17 weapons that can be acquired through normal gameplay. Additional weapons can be acquired through DLC or unlockable with CP in the Extra Content Shop.

Can Ethan use the Dragoon?

Yes! After purchasing it in the Extra Content Shop with CP, the Dragoon becomes available for purchase from the Duke for 200 Lei.

Should I sell the Crystal Skull?

Yes! The Crystal Skull is purely for selling to the Duke. It has no other purpose.
