Weapon Perks return in Resident Evil 4. One of the fun features for dedicated players, perks can be unlocked only after fully upgrading one of your weapons. These perks only become evident late in the game, once all the upgrades have been unlocked at the merchant. Really, these fun little perks are for New Game+ players, making sprinting through the story easy with completely overpowered weapons. And some of the perks are completely ridiculous.
There are two ways to unlock Perks. Leon can either fully upgrade a weapon at the Merchant, unlocking the Exclusive Perk and purchasing it at a very high price, or Leon can earn valuable Spinels. This alternate currency type is mostly earned by completing Merchant Requests and can be used on the Merchant’s Trade tab. Later in the game, you’ll earn find special tickets. The tickets cost 30 / 40 Spinel, making them one of the most expensive items available in the game. But, if you have a ticket, you can instantly unlock a weapon’s Exclusive Perk free of charge. Basically, you can skip the line and immediately get the bonus for your favorite weapons.
If you’re curious and want to know exactly what upgrades are waiting for your favorite weapons, here’s a complete and quick list explaining all the Exclusive Perks.
