Resident Evil 4 Remake has numerous goodies that you can unlock. However, several will require multiple completions, as well as a bit of know-how for more efficient clears. Here's our Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide to help you with all the weapons and costumes that you can obtain in the game.
Our Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide takes a look at the different items that can be yours once you finish the game. All of these can be acquired via the main menu -> Bonus Content -> Extra Content Shop, where each selection costs Completion Points (i.e., what you earn when you complete challenges/achievements in the campaign). You may then equip these by clicking Main Story -> Extras.

S | Four hours | Five hours | Five and a half hours | Five and a half hours |
