GameWatcher stalks the shadowed corridors of Resident Evil: Requiem to catalogue every weapon you can wield against its grotesque foes and nightmarish monsters.
From reliable pistols and bone-shattering shotguns to magnum revolvers, precision sniper rifles, rapid-fire assault weapons, and devastating explosives, survival hinges on choosing the right tool for the terror ahead. Consider us your merchant in the dark, guiding you through every firearm, upgrade, and explosive advantage at your disposal.
In Resident Evil: Requiem, Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy headline separate campaigns, meaning they don’t always share the same arsenal - and their core mechanics differ slightly in terms of upgrades and obtaining weapons.
Leon’s segments introduce supply boxes that function as field vendors, letting you spend credits earned from defeating enemies on fresh weapons, ammo, and upgrades. Firearms can be upgraded to Level 2 through these supply boxes, while reaching Level 3 requires tracking down all 25 hidden Mr. Raccoon collectibles.
When playing as Grace, you can craft ammunition from scavenged scrap and blood collected from fallen enemies. Where Leon thrives on going in all guns blazing, Grace’s approach is more patient, precise, and stealthy, taking advantage of cheap takedowns to conserve resources.
Below, you’ll find a complete list of every weapon available in Resident Evil: Requiem - perfect for tracking down anything you may have missed during your playthrough or for using as a go-to reference when deciding which tools of destruction are truly worth your investment.
Resident Evil Requiem Weapons List
Hatchet (Leon)
A hatchet used by special forces. Capable of delivering fatal blows, but requires regular maintenance to stay sharp. A versatile tool, great for hand-to-hand combat and prying things open. It’s been widely adopted as a utility item since the 2000s, with modern updates improving usability. More than just a weapon, in tight spaces where firearms feel excessive or risky, the Hatchet is a reminder that sometimes the oldest tools are the deadliest.
Power: 7 / 10 (Takedowns!)
Durability: 6 / 10
B934 Handgun (Grace)
A straight blowback handgun. This basic, interwar design prioritizes durability over firepower. This Italian pistol was originally a high-class military firearm. An American version was also released and seems to have been the care center’s primary self-defence weapon.
Power: 3 / 10
Rate of Fire: 5 / 10
Stability: 4 / 10
Reload Speed: 5 / 10
Precision: 6 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 7
Alligator Snapper (Leon)
A reliable semi-automatic handgun. This custom model is issued to DSO personnel. It feels sharper, faster, and more combat-ready than the B934 - a sidearm built for players who want confidence in every trigger pull.
Power: 6 / 10
Rate of Fire: 7 / 10
Stability: 6 / 10
Reload Speed: 8 / 10
Precision: 9 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 9
Silencer 9 (Leon)
A powerful and precise handgun. The built-in suppressor effectively dampens the sound of all shots. Customizing the number of baffles adjusts how quietly it fires. While it won’t match a magnum for raw damage, its balanced stats and ten-round capacity make it reliable in both silent takedowns and sudden firefights.
Power: 4 / 10
Rate of Fire: 6 / 10
Stability: 7 / 10
Reload Speed: 7 / 10
Precision: 8 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 10
Requiem (Leon & Grace)
A DSO-issued, large assault revolver that uses 12.7x55mm rounds. Offering high-powered piercing capabilities, it’s a weapon you can rely on. Its serious damage output and strong precision make it ideal for punching through tougher enemies, but the slower rate of fire and limited five-round capacity demand measured shots. This isn’t a panic weapon - it’s a problem-solver. When something big refuses to go down, the Requiem is what you reach for.
Power: 9 / 10
Rate of Fire: 4 / 10
Stability: 6 / 10
Reload Speed: 5 / 10
Precision: 7 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 5
MSBG 500 (Leon)
A compact, pump-action shotgun. Offers excellent spread, but with limited capacity. Can be customized for an even wider blast. Featuring an equipped muzzle brake and designed for maneuverability, this weapon is ideal for precise firing even in tight quarters. It’s not built for sustained firefights - it’s built for sudden, brutal encounters. When space is tight and enemies rush in, the MSBG 500 turns panic into control with a single blast.
Power: 8 / 10
Rate of Fire: 4 / 10
Stability: 6 / 10
Reload Speed: 5 / 10
Precision: 5 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 5
990-TAC (Leon)
A modern, semi-automatic shotgun. With excellent grouping, it is ideal for precision shooting. A dot sight can be attached. An easy-to-use weapon that offers a high rate of fire. Fitted with chrome carbon inner components for smooth operation and lasting performance. Its seven-shell capacity and high rate of fire make it forgiving under pressure, allowing you to control crowds without constantly reloading.
Power: 7 / 10
Rate of Fire: 8 / 10
Stability: 7 / 10
Reload Speed: 7 / 10
Precision: 8 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 7
Gal (Leon)
A submachine gun developed in the 1950s. Lacks accuracy but has a large ammo capacity, suitable for bursts of sustained fire. The simple structure makes it less likely to malfunction in sand or mud. Durable, dependable, and forgiving, it’s the kind of weapon you bring when subtlety has officially left the building.
Power: 5 / 10
Rate of Fire: 9 / 10
Stability: 6 / 10
Reload Speed: 7 / 10
Precision: 4 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 40
Stiri REVO3 A1 (Leon)
A lightweight, compact, polymer frame submachine gun. Has a high rate of fire and does considerable damage. Add a stock to improve accuracy. Due to its portability and ease of use, it has been widely adopted by VIP security. The switches are designed for ambidextrous use. Out of the box, precision is serviceable rather than exceptional, but the option to add a stock hints at its upgrade potential.
Power: 2 / 10
Rate of Fire: 9 / 10
Stability: 6 / 10
Reload Speed: 7 / 10
Precision: 3 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 30
Classic 70 (Leon)
A standard bolt-action rifle. Can deliver serious firepower in skilled hands. The scope can be swapped out or removed. Developed for hunting and later adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps. This modern iteration is an accurate reproduction of the high-quality models made prior to 1964. Its slower rate of fire and modest six-round capacity mean every shot must count - this isn’t a weapon for chaotic brawls.
Power: 9 / 10
Rate of Fire: 3 / 10
Stability: 7 / 10
Reload Speed: 4 / 10
Precision: 9 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 6
Marksman 1A (Leon)
A semi-automatic marksman rifle. The damage per shot is limited, but it boasts a high rate of fire and fast reload speeds. This carbine model is a civilian variant based on the military rifle. Comes equipped with a robust chassis system. The reinforced bolt and semi-auto scope configuration underline its tactical flexibility, making it ideal for players who prefer to stay mobile while maintaining precision.
Power: 7 / 10
Rate of Fire: 6 / 10
Stability: 5 / 10
Reload Speed: 6 / 10
Precision: 9 / 10
Ammo Capacity: 10
Whether you favour precision sidearms, high-calibre revolvers, or room-clearing shotguns, Resident Evil: Requiem’s arsenal is built for survival. Master the tools at your disposal like Jill masters the lockpick, and invest wisely in upgrades, and you’ll find that survival isn’t just about conserving ammo - it’s about knowing exactly when to pull the trigger and avoid becoming a Jill Sandwich.
