Players of Capcom’sResident Evil 4remake struggling to decide which weapon to use to take down the game’s hordes of enemies now have a bit of help thanks to a fan who took the time to break down the full stats for each weapon, putting the results in a helpful chart. The remake of the survival horror classic has been a financial boon for Capcom, with the company recently announcing that theResident Evil 4remake is now the second fastest-selling game inResident Evilhistory.
Released earlier this year, theResident Evil 4remake saw Capcom’s acclaimed GameCube title join the ever-growing list ofResident Evilgames to receive a graphical and gameplay overhaul for modern gaming hardware. Keeping much of the GameCube release’s story and settings intact, theResident Evil 4remake was praised by many players for streamlining the gameplay while keeping the overall feel of the 2005 original intact. While the game has been well-received overall, theResident Evil 4remake was review bombedafter release by some players upset with issues ranging from cut content to gameplay that they felt hewed too closely to the original game.

Looking to give players of theResident Evil 4remake a helping hand as they take on the game’s hordes of deadly enemies, Reddit user Dibilowas created a detailed chart listing out the full stats for each of the game’s weapons along with other useful information. Providing a breakdown of everything from the stopping power and damage outputs of firearms to the damage modifiers applied when shooting foes in specific areas, the chart should be an invaluable resource for gamers struggling to decide what to buy when browsing the wares on offer byResident Evil 4’s mysterious merchant.
Fans of theResident Evil 4remake loved the handy reference guide to some of the game’s hidden numbers and mechanics, with one user commenting that “This is 100x easier to look at than my post of pure text lol.” Several users were happy that the chart included a breakdown of where enemies take the most damage in addition to the weapon stats, with one Redditor shocked to learn that shooting foes in the limbs halved the damage received. Not everyone was swayed by the story told by the damage numbers on display, though, leading several Redditors to take to the comments to advocate for the superiority of the riot gun despite the chart showing that the W-870 is a slightly more powerful shotgun.
While every player is likely to develop their own personal preferences when it comes toResident Evil 4’s many wieldable weapons, this chart should provide a handy starting point for players looking for ways to build the most effective in-game arsenal. And with breakdowns of damage modifiers for every possible way of stabbing a Ganado, even players taking on the masochistic task ofbeatingResident Evil 4with only a knife and handgunshould find some value in sneaking a peek at these hidden numbers.
Resident Evil 4is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
