Resident Evil Village boasts a wide variety of weapons that you'll either stumble upon while playing or can purchase from The Duke's Emporium. In this section of IGN's Resident Evil Village guide, you'll find a full list of each Weapon and Weapon Mod in the game, along with where you can find them.

Weapons and Weapon Mod Locations

Weapons

Knife

Knife

Location	Notes
First Survivor House in the Village	Can be used to break boxes, attack enemies

The Knife is your one true melee weapon in Resident Evil Village. While it doesn't deal a ton of damage and can't be upgraded, it's essential for breaking item crates and fending off enemies when you run low on ammo.

You'll find it on a desk as soon as you enter the first house in the middle of the village, just before the kitchen. If you somehow miss picking it up, you can also buy it from The Duke if needed.

LEMI Handgun

LEMI Handgun

Location	Notes
First Survivor House in the Village	Given by old man, can be upgraded at the Duke's Emporium

The LEMI Handgun is a semi-automatic pistol that deals a fair amount of damage, and can be upgraded by The Duke. While it doesn't boast a huge damage output, and has no automatic fire, its single shots can be fired with precision - and you can fully upgrade it over the course of your adventure to keep it as your reliable sidewarm.

This weapon cannot be missed, as it is handed to you by the first survivor you meet in the Village.

M1897 Shotgun

M1897 Shotgun

Location	Notes
East Old Town	After hearing survivors on the radio and heading into the next area, you'll find this weapon in a house with Lycan's watching you from on top.

The M1897 Shotgun is a pump action shotgun that can output some extreme damage, especially at close range. While it has a slow rate of fire, it's other aspects can be upgraded to compensate.

It can be found in the East Old Town after leaving the house with the first survivor. Once you survive the initial Lycan attack, head out of the barn and to the nearest house on the left (the ones a few Lycans will watch you from on the rooftops). The shotgun is inside on the kitchen table.

If you forget to pick it up before leaving the area, you can still buy it from The Duke.

Samurai Edge - AW Model-01

Samurai Edge - AW Model-01

Location	Notes
Available in The Duke's Emporium	Powerful customized handgun which uses anti-bioweapon technology left by Albert Wesker. (Bonus from the Trauma Pack)

The Samurai Edge is a powerful custom handgun that is only available as part of the Trauma Pack DLC. It can be heavily upgraded to deal powerful shots at targets.

As it is only available through DLC, you can purchase this item from The Duke when you first meet him outside Castle Dimitrescu, and anytime after that.

F2 Rifle

F2 Rifle

Location	Notes
Castle Upper Floor	Found before you exit through an attic window onto the upper balconies of the castle

The F2 Sniper Rifle is the only scoped rifle weapon available in the game, and delivers high-powered shots that can puncture armor and deal heavy damage to any enemy you shoot at. It can even be further improved by the Duke to deal even more damage with a better rate of fire.

This weapon can only be found in the Attic of Castle Dimitrescu, and is hard to miss. After arriving in the attic up from the Atelier, you'll find it at the end of the narrow hall on a chair before turning left to exit out onto the rooftops.

Pipe Bombs

Pipe Bombs

Location	Notes
Can be found randomly around the village or bought from The Duke's Emporium	You can also buy the recipe from The Duke for crafting

Pipebombs are an explosive device that can be used to punch a hole in a group of enemies, and can shatter enemy armor and weak walls alike with explosive force.

Best used against groups of enemies or against armored targets, Pipe Bombs can be made via crafting, but will also occasionally be found as you explore, and eventually sold by The Duke.

Mine

Mine

Location	Notes
Can be found randomly around the village or bought from The Duke's Emporium	You can also buy the recipe from The Duke for crafting

The Mine is a stationary explosive device that can deal immense damage over a large radius, and is triggered by nearby movement. Unlike the Pipe Bomb, it must be placed on the ground and will arm itself after a moment. However, it will not explode from Ethan's movement, and can even be picked up to be placed again if your target doesn't move near enough to detonate it.

Like the Pipe Bomb, it can be created with a crafting recipe, and is also found in certain areas, and eventually sold by The Duke.
