Resident Evil 2: Effectively create ammunition

We help you on your dangerous way through Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2 and explain in this guide about ammunition

which different types of ammunition exist
how to make them from found materials

The new Resident Evil 2 challenges you with all sorts of enemies like Mister X or lickers. Proven weapons like shotgun or grenade launcher are part of your equipment when you face nasty creatures in R.P.D. or the sewers. But if you run out of ammo, even the best weapon won't help. That's why in this guide we'll show you how to create these items by combining them.

What ammo is available in Resident Evil 2?

The Resident Evil 2 remake can be played with two different main characters in two different scenarios. Leon S. Kennedy uses different weapons than Claire Redfield and vice versa. Therefore, depending on the character you choose, you'll discover different ammunition.

Ammunition for Leon

Pistol ammo (Matilda & Samurai Edge)
Large caliber pistol ammo (M19)
Shotgun ammo (Shotgun W-870)
MAG ammunition (Lightning Hawk)
Gasoline (Chemical Flamethrower)

Ammunition for Claire

Pistol ammo (JMB Hp 3 & Samurai Edge)
Large caliber pistol ammunition (Revolver Quickdraw Army)
High power ammunition (SLS 60)
Incendiary grenades (Grenade Launcher GM 79)
Acid grenades (Grenade Launcher GM 79)
MP ammunition (submachine gun MQ 11)
Needle cartridges (stun gun)

Making ammunition: How does it work in Resident Evil 2?

There are various versions of gunpowder lying all over Raccoon City, just waiting to be collected. Be sure to grab these items and combine them together. By the way, large portions of gunpowder give you more new ammunition for Magnum, submachine gun & Co.

As with the regularly available ammunition, the choice of the main character also influences which objects you discover. That's why you'll read separate lists below: One is about ammunition that Leon makes by combining. The other shows which objects Claire can combine with each other.

How do I unlock infinite ammo?

You can unlock never-ending ammo for both the Samurai Edge pistol and the LE 5 submachine gun.To get the always loaded pistol, you must complete the A scenario with Claire and Leon in less than three and a half hours. Additionally, you'll need to complete the B scenario with both characters in less than three hours. In all cases, you'll need to achieve an S rank on the standard difficulty.

Originally, only Hunk is on the road with the LE 5 in the add-on mode "The 4th Survivor". To unlock the submachine gun for the campaign, you'll need to meet the following conditions on Veteran difficulty and with S rank: Complete the A scenario with both heroes in under two and a half hours. Complete the B scenario with Leon and Claire in less than two hours.
