Here's how to unlock infinite ammo in Resident Evil 6 . Resident Evil 4 suffered through a famously troubled development, where different builds were developed and scrapped. One concept featured Leon suffering from hallucinations that could affect gameplay at any time, altering the layout and enemy types, and yet another morphed into Devil May Cry. The final game arrived in 2005 and was hailed as a triumph, and it had a big impact on the third-person shooter genre moving forward.

However, Resident Evil 4's more action-focused style saw an increasing demand for action over suspense in the series. Resident Evil 5 was thick with explosive setpieces, co-op play, and heavy weaponry, while rival franchises like Dead Space also increased the amount of action with each entry. Resident Evil 6 from 2012 promised an epic experience, featuring three campaigns fronted by Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, and Sherry Birkin, while the fourth chapter with Ada Wong unlocked after beating the other three. Each campaign had its own theme, with Chris' being more action-based while Leon's was more traditional survival horror. However, Resident Evil 6 proved disappointing, being a bloated mess of conflicting design ideas and mostly flat gameplay.

Resident Evil 6 still has its fans, though it's considered one of the franchise's weaker efforts. For those who wish to revisit the sequel with infinite ammo, the first step is to complete all four of the campaigns. Once that's done, go to Skill Settings where its possible to purchase infinite ammo by weapon types, such as Infinite Handgun or Infinite Assault Rifle. Then when starting a scenario remember to activate the Infinite Ammo option. It's important to note guns still need to be reloaded and that each weapon skill needs to be purchased with skill points. Here's how much each infinite ammo skill costs.

  • Infinite Handgun - 79,000 skill points.
  • Infinite Shotgun - 89,000
  • Infinite Magnum - 99,000
  • Infinite Sniper Rifle - 79,000
  • Infinite Machine Pistol - 89,000
  • Infinite Assault Rifle - 89,000
  • Infinite Grenade Launcher - 99,000
  • Infinite Crossbow - 79,000

If there's a particular weapon players want infinite ammo for, it's important to save up the skill points necessary during the campaign, or earn a few more from The Mercenaries mode. Capcom would go back to the drawing board for future sequels following Resident Evil 6, with Resident Evil 7 stripping everything down to basics, adding a first-person viewpoint and drawing inspiration from the likes of The Evil Dead.

The 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake also received raves for updating the classic original for a modern audience. While critical and fan option on Resident Evil 6 was very mixed upon release, it's been somewhat reappraised in recent years as an enjoyably over the top latter-day entry.

It's pronounced Paw-rick, not Pad-raig. Now that's out of the way, a brief introduction. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he'd like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site. A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games – he even (arguably) had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU - where Hawkeye is clearly the best character - to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle. He's super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman. He can be found as i_Padds on Twitter making bad puns.
