If you’re trudging through Resident Evil 4 Remake and need stronger weapons, the Riot Gun is a great choice. There is no shortage of weapon options in the game, but the Riot Gun can easily be taken into the late game with upgrades, so it’s worth grabbing early.
The Riot Gun has its pros and cons, but it is a strong weapon that can dispense even large enemies with only a few well-placed shots. If you’re trying to get the Riot Gun, this guide can help you track it down.
Riot Gun’s Cost
The Riot Gun can be purchased from the Merchant’s shop. It will set players back 28,000 Pesetas and there are no Special Offers associated with this weapon when it’s first encountered. The Riot Gun won’t be available to players until the start of Chapter 6, when it will show up in the shop for the first time, but it can be purchased later in the game if players do not have the money at first. It is a great weapon and can easily replace the W-870 as Leon’s primary shotgun, so players should purchase it as soon as possible.
Riot Gun Stats
The Riot Gun has some great applications and, thanks to its specs, it can be used well into the late game. Its Power stat is pretty hefty for what it is, and while its Ammo Capacity and Rate of Fire are outclassed by some of the other shotguns in the game, this weapon has perks that set it apart. The Riot Gun has a much tighter spread than guns like the Striker or the W-870. Its spread allows it to deal massive amounts of damage to a single target and while it can still take out large groups of enemies, it is best used against opponents with large pools of health.
