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
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

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
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
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.
