Every weapon with where to get it, its stats, its upgrades and whether it is worth the slot.
Leon's starting weapon: he has it from the Prelude. It's a pair of identical pistols; the alternate function fires both at once.
Verdict Your 9mm gun for all of Leon's campaign: the lowest damage per shot of the handguns, but dual-wielded it clears crowds.
Helena's starting weapon in Leon's campaign.
Verdict The handgun with the most damage per shot and the lowest crit: Helena's dependable sidearm, no surprises.
Starting weapon of Chris (Chris Chapter 1), Jake (Jake Chapter 1) and Agent, the second player in Ada's campaign.
Verdict The handgun with the best crit: a good backup for Chris and the everyday gun of Jake and Agent.
Sherry's starting weapon in Jake's campaign.
Verdict The largest magazine of the single handguns (20): single shots waste less; the burst staggers tougher J'avo.
Starting weapon of Leon and of Agent, the second player in Ada's campaign.
Verdict Free finisher and crate opener; don't pull it out in a fight you can settle with melee.
Chris's starting weapon.
Verdict Saves ammo like Leon's knife, and its Quick Shot staggers.
Sherry's starting weapon. At the start of Jake Chapter 3 both are prisoners with no gear; Sherry takes a Stun Rod from a J'avo and it's her only weapon until they get everything back after the Switchboard Key cutscene.
Verdict A superb ammo saver in co-op: Sherry stuns with the charge and Jake finishes.
Jake's starting weapon: his fists are equipped like any other weapon.
Verdict The best way to save ammo in the game: use it as your main weapon against lone J'avo.
Helena's starting weapon in Leon's campaign.
Verdict Point-blank panic button: ammo is scarce and only Helena uses it; once the Shotgun arrives, save its shells for emergencies.
Leon and Helena, Leon Chapter 1 (1-4 The Town): open the family house's back door with the Backdoor Key; in the alley it's on the dead riot policeman. If you missed it, it turns up in 1-5 Gun Shop, on the shelves next to the entrance door. Jake and Sherry, Jake Chapter 4 (4-4 Shopping District): climb the apartment building's stairs (at the top of the fourth flight there's a chest with 4,000 SP); at the top, in the lockers on the left, before the walkway drops you. No second spot.
Verdict Leon's main weapon from Leon Chapter 1 and the best close-range gun against zombies: always take it.
Chris and Piers, Chris Chapter 2 (2-1 City in Eastern Europe): after beating the Ogroman, before you follow the APC, go back through the now-open gates and up to the walkway; open the red door the Ogroman came out of together with Piers (partner action). Inside: Assault Shotgun, First Aid Spray and a crate. If you missed it: 2-4 City Hall, in the room a J'avo bursts out of in the upstairs hall, with 9mm Ammo and 2 × 12-Gauge Shells. Ada, Ada Chapter 1 (1-2 Submarine - Reactor): go through the first room into the hall and down the first hatch; it's on the workbench on the right. No second spot.
Verdict Chris's close-range answer to Napads and Whoppers, and Ada's for the Ada Chapter 2 zombies: worth the slot.
Picked up in the field and from boxes. Fixed ones in Leon Chapter 1: several at Ivy University and The Town, and 3 on the Gun Shop ground floor (1-5) with 2 × 9mm Ammo and a First Aid Spray. Leon Chapter 2: 2 on the benches of the cathedral forecourt. Ada: 2 next to a Red Herb and a Green Herb in the Ada Chapter 1 reactor, and 2 in the north and south rooms after the Ada Chapter 4 Rasklapanje.
Verdict The best throwable against zombies: a well-placed one kills a Bloodshot.
Picked up in the field. The first fixed ones are in Leon Chapter 1 (1-5 Gun Shop): one on the sofa in the upstairs room once the owner opens it, and one upstairs after the Whopper, left of the roof door, before going outside. Jake Chapter 1: a briefcase in a cabinet with a Remote Bomb and 2 Flash Grenades. Jake Chapter 2 (Mines): 4 to the right of the area where Sherry climbs the broken ladder for the keycard.
Verdict Trap for bosses and crowds: worth the slot against Simmons in Leon Chapter 5 and the Ustanak in Jake Chapter 2.
Picked up in the field and from boxes (uncommon). Fixed ones in Chris Chapter 4: one in the cabinet immediately on your left (before the three J'avo spiders) and one in the bathroom of the luxury room with the 5,000 SP suitcase.
Verdict For crowds and for stripping a Napad's armour; once you hold the Grenade Launcher, it's redundant.
Picked up in the field (common). Fixed ones in Chris Chapter 1 (1-3 Rooftops): 4 in the upper-left corner of the first rooftop and 3 on the low platform of the last one. Jake Chapter 1: 2 in the briefcase in the cabinet. Jake Chapter 2: 2 in the box in the FOS Memory Device C shack, with 4,000 SP.
Verdict Kills Mesets instantly and stuns Strelats, flying J'avo and Haos: keep a couple for Chris Chapter 5.
Leon and Helena, Leon Chapter 2 (2-3 Cathedral): past the laser-and-mirror rooms, at the top of the stairs, in the arms of a body against the wall, next to the Madonna of Grief behind bars. If you missed it: 2-5 Primitive Altar Entrance, propped against the wall by the gate to the big room where you find Deborah. Chris and Piers, Chris Chapter 4 (4-1 Rear Hangar): at the start, in the small room on the left, on the central table; the suitcase holds 3 × 7.62mm NATO Ammo. No second spot.
Verdict Required for the Leon Chapter 2 bell puzzle, then long-range support. Worth it for Chris; redundant for Piers.
Piers's starting weapon in Chris's campaign.
Verdict Piers's real main gun: it goes through every enemy in a line and kills almost anything in one shot.
Jake and Sherry, Jake Chapter 2 (2-1 Mountain Path): climb the ladder at the start, follow the walkway and drop down twice; it's by the bench with the tarp, with 3 wooden boxes. If you missed it: 2-2 Snow-Covered Mountain, propped against the wall of the shack you shelter in after collecting the FOS Memory Devices. Ada, Ada Chapter 2 (2-1 Forest Cemetery, crypt): in the gallows room opened with the Amber Key, propped against the trapdoor lever, with 2 barrels. Second spot (single source): at the start of Ada Chapter 3, next to the first grapple point.
Verdict A support gun: cover your partner on split routes and in Ada's sections that cover the other teams.
Leon and Helena, Leon Chapter 3 (3-1 Altar Corridor): inside a closed sarcophagus on the path that curves left, at the start of the catacombs, before the first spinning-blade trap (opening them in order it's usually the 3rd; it can vary). If you missed it: 3-3 Cavern, stuck in the stone pillar right after you cross the first bridge.
Verdict A good mid-range rifle for the rest of Leon's campaign; fire short bursts because of the recoil.
Chris's starting weapon.
Verdict Chris's main weapon for the whole campaign: give its ammo priority.
Jake and Sherry, Jake Chapter 3 (3-2 Living Quarters): put all 16 ID Medals into the slot on the main hall's statue; the north gate opens the room with the gun, 2 Oriental Crates and a chest with 2,000 SP + 2 × 300 SP. 3 medals open the west gate (the bar, reception room and pool wing) and 10 the south-east one, toward the comms room. Pick up the medals enemies drop before the fixed ones, or the carriers may stop spawning. One source says that if you don't get all 16 you're given it at the end of the chapter; unconfirmed. Ada, Ada Chapter 4 (4-1 Forward Hangar): on the table in the officer's suite (bedroom + living room), the one with a naval officer's corpse; there's also a suitcase with 5,000 SP and a First Aid Spray in the bathroom. If you missed it: 4-2 Bridge, after the cutscene of Carla falling, when the elevator takes you down to the deck, on a pile of boxes opposite the exit; or 4-3 Aircraft Carrier Interior, on one of the two leather chairs in the communications room with a wall map.
Verdict Jake's and Ada's most versatile weapon: rifle and grenade launcher in one; always take it.
Leon and Helena, Leon Chapter 4 (4-1 Inside the Airplane): in the cockpit, on the floor by the co-pilot's seat, next to the dead pilot. There's .50 Action Express Magnum Ammo on both sides of the cockpit. It's its only spot and it only appears if you don't already have it: take it before you chase the Lepotitsa. If you miss it, replay checkpoint 4-1 from chapter select and wait for a save before you quit the game.
Verdict Leon's boss gun: save its ammo for the airplane Lepotitsa, the Rasklapanje and Simmons' forms.
Jake and Sherry, Jake Chapter 1 (1-2 Water Channel): in the big concrete warehouse where the Ustanak shows up (the one with red barrels), in a cabinet in the 2nd-floor storage room you enter through a hole in the wall. You can take it before starting the fight; each player takes their own copy. It auto-equips: switch back to your usual gun. If you missed it: 1-3 Underground Passage, on the metal shelves in the room full of mannequins.
Verdict The boss gun of Jake's campaign (Ustanak, Ubistvo): always carry .500 ammo.
Leon Chapter 5 (5-5 Quad Tower Roof): in the escape helicopter Ada left on the helipad. Take it when Simmons climbs back up onto the helipad and shoot him in the eye: it's the campaign's last shot.
Verdict Scripted weapon: use it on Simmons' eye; it doesn't stay for the next playthrough.
Chris and Piers, Chris Chapter 3 (3-2 Poisawan Courtyard): after the 5 crates on the roof, kick the next building's door; the launcher is straight ahead in a shack, with 2 × 40mm Explosive Rounds and a First Aid Spray, right before the first helicopter fight. You need it for that fight.
Verdict Chris's best weapon for bosses and Napads: keep Explosive loaded by default.
Ada's starting weapon.
Verdict Ada's main weapon and her stealth tool: Normal arrows for everything soft, Pipebomb for Carla and Simmons.
Piers's starting weapon in Chris's campaign.
Verdict Piers's support gun for crowds: use it to stagger and leave the kill to melee.
Ada's starting weapon.
Verdict A 9mm hose and the lowest-damage gun: a last resort to stagger and melee, or to shoot off padlocks.
Not picked up: fixed emplacements. They appear in Jake Chapter 1 (the door of the second Chinook against the Ustanak's 3 helicopters), Chris Chapter 2 (the bridge), Chris Chapter 5, Ada Chapter 1 (the submarine) and Leon Chapter 5 (5-3: the BSAA Humvee's two turrets against Simmons). In Jake Chapter 3 (3-1) Jake also works the machine-gun cameras that cover Sherry, and in Ada Chapter 5 Agent fires the helicopter's co-pilot gatling gun.
Verdict Use it whenever it shows up: infinite ammo, but fire in bursts so it doesn't overheat.
- 9 slots (single source). Weapons don't take a slot: they always all fit. Ammo, herbs, grenades and the First Aid Spray do. - Cap per slot: 150 9mm Ammo; 40 12-Gauge or 10-Gauge Shells; 60 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 12.7mm; .50 AE: 50 or 80; .500 S&W: 60 or 80 (sources disagree); 40mm: 12 or 30 (sources disagree); 60 Arrows (Normal) and 40 Arrows (Pipebomb); 5 grenades or Remote Bombs; 3 First Aid Sprays. - You only pick up ammo for guns you own (only Helena picks up 10-Gauge Shells, for example). - Each character has their own inventory in each campaign: nothing moves from Leon to Helena or between campaigns. Within a campaign it carries from chapter to chapter. Per one player, changes are only kept at the "Saving..." points between sections, not at checkpoints. - No item box and no expansions: RE6 has no backpacks, vests or inventory upgrades. Split-screen: in your Item Slot pick an item and give it to your partner; it works at any distance and only in split-screen. The manual names herbs and ammo. Test in Leon Chapter 1 whether grenades and First Aid Sprays can be given too, and what happens when the partner's slots are full.
Item Slot, inside the COMs Device. It opens in real time: the game doesn't pause while you swap weapons or mix herbs.
Carry only ammo for guns you use, mix herbs and move them into the case as soon as you can, and preload the Grenade Launcher: that's how 9 slots last.
Card →
- Green Herb alone = 1 tablet; Green + Green = 3; Green + Green + Green = 6; Green + Red = 6. A Red Herb alone is useless: always mix it with a green one. - One Health Tablet heals 1 health block and fully refills the combat gauge, even at full health. - Used near your partner, it heals them too (half a block per tablet). - When your partner is dying, revive them with your tablets: one per press, up to 6. - Cap: 17. At 12 or more a 6-tablet mix won't fit: eat some first or wait. Split-screen: give the herb to your partner before converting it; tablets probably can't be passed over.
Inside the COMs Device; it takes no slot. On Switch, pick a herb in the Item Slot and press A to store it as tablets.
Mix before you convert (Green + Red or three Greens = 6 tablets; a lone Green gives 1) and heal next to your partner: one tablet heals both of you.

The in-game menu: Resume game, Return to the latest checkpoint (restarts the checkpoint without a Game Over), Display other player's records, Change game settings, Change skills (switch skill set) and Quit game (unsaved progress is lost). Cutscenes are skipped from here too. It runs in real time: enemies keep attacking while it's open. For a real pause (offline only) use +.

Switch skill sets from here, but in a quiet corner.
Card →
Ada climbs to ledges and crosses gaps with it; she also rides zip-lines. Agent has no grapple: when Ada uses it, Agent vanishes and reappears next to her once she lands. He also can't open doors, pick up key items, flip switches or use zip-lines. Ada Chapter 3, bus roof against the Ubistvo: Ada dodges by grappling to the other end; Agent has to slide or roll between its swings to the opposite side.
Ada has it from Ada Chapter 1; used at marked points.
In split-screen, Ada is always player 1: the grapple and every interaction are hers; Agent provides the covering fire.

- Values: Pawn 50, Knight 100, Bishop 300, Rook (Bronze) 500, Queen (Bronze) 1,000, Rook (Silver) 1,500, King (Bronze) 2,000, Queen (Silver) 2,500, Rook (Gold) 3,000 (The Mercenaries only), King (Silver) 4,000, Queen (Gold) 5,000, King (Gold) 10,000 (only one Chris Chapter 3 suitcase). - Enemies: Ogroman and Ubistvo 4,000; Whopper and Gnezdo 2,500; Napad 1,500; Shrieker and Strelats 1,000; Bloodshot 500 or 1,000 (sources disagree). - Helping or thanking your partner quickly gives extra SP. - On No Hope skills don't work. - There's no shop and no money: SP only buy skills. Big fixed hauls: the Leon Chapter 4 / Chris Chapter 3 race (4-4 / 3-5 Medical Research Center): the team that reaches the elevator first gets 2 × 2,000, and the one that opens the hacked door first gets 5,000 + 5,000 + 4,000. Without online players the other team is AI. Chris Chapter 3: a 10,000 suitcase in the room past the wooden box with 2 Green Herbs in the cabinets. Farming: Jake Chapter 4 (4-3): 2 boxes in the opening alley = 7,000 in 1 minute; go through the door, wait for "Saving..." to disappear, quit and repeat. Chris Chapter 2 (2-3 and 2-4): the 2 Ogromans and the Napads give about 30,000 in 25-30 minutes. Always quit after "Saving..." clears. Split-screen: the SP player 2 picks up most likely go into the same pool (player 1's save). Check the total at the end of the chapter.
Chess pieces dropped by enemies and found in crates, suitcases and chests. Shared across all characters and campaigns.
Spend early on the cheap ones (under 4,000) and save for Firearm and Defense Lv3; maxing every levelled skill (the Mad Skillz achievement) costs 954,000.
Card →
- 3 skills per set. You start with 1 set; clearing one campaign gives you 8. A level replaces the previous one (you can't equip Lv1 and Lv2 of the same skill). - Buying only between chapters or from the menu; switching sets at any time (in real time). Split-screen: player 2 has no SP and no purchases of their own; they use what player 1 bought and pick one of those sets from their own − menu. Only player 1 sees the shop at the end of a chapter. Test in Leon Chapter 2 whether each player can run a different set at the same time. Buy order (one shared pool): 1. The cheap ones: Defense Lv1 (3,200), Item Drop Increase (3,500), Breakout (2,800), Critical Hit Lv1 (3,500), Lock-On Lv1 (2,800). J'avo Killer and Zombie Hunter Lv1 (3,000) as soon as they unlock. 2. Firearm Lv1 (12,000), then Firearm Lv2 (29,000) and Defense Lv2 (28,000). 3. Zombie Hunter Lv2 for Leon and Ada Chapter 2; J'avo Killer Lv2 for Chris and Jake (25,000 each). 4. Firearm Lv3 (75,000) and Defense Lv3 (80,000). 5. Your main weapon's Master skill when it unlocks. 6. After all 4 campaigns, 1 or 2 Infinite skills. Recommended co-op sets: - Leon / Helena: Firearm + Defense + Zombie Hunter; for bosses, Firearm + Magnum Master or Shotgun Master + Defense. - Chris / Piers: Firearm + Defense + J'avo Killer; Chris with Assault Rifle Master, Piers with Lock-On for the scope. - Jake / Sherry: Firearm + Defense + J'avo Killer; for melee, Melee + J'avo Killer + Defense (Hand-to-Hand and the Stun Rod scale with Melee). - Ada / Agent: Firearm + Defense + Quick Reload or Crossbow Master; in Ada Chapter 2, Zombie Hunter as the third. Don't buy Team-Up, Field Medic or Lone Wolf for split-screen: they only affect an AI partner.
Bought on the end-of-chapter screen or in Play Game > Campaign > Skill Settings (once you've cleared the first chapter). Switched at any time with − > Change skills.
Firearm + Defense + the campaign's enemy skill is the base set for both players; build a second set for bosses and switch with − before the fight.
