Shotgun RE4 Remake – At the very beginning of the game, the protagonist Leon will have a pistol with a knife to defend himself. While that may work for the starter-level undead, as you indulge in higher-level battles, you’re going to need something with more power, pretty soon.
You could start by getting the W-870 Shotgun. You could control crowds of enemies with it due to its firepower, making it one of the best weapons to go for in the game. Hence, in this article by Frontech, we’ll be guiding you with where you could find the W-870 shotgun in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Shotgun Location in Resident Evil 4 Remake
As you’ve probably guessed, you won’t be awarded a shotgun as a part of the storyline. You’ll have to hunt for it. Once you’ve done the same, it is only when you’ll be able to use it. Here’s where to look:
To get your hands on the W-870 shotgun, start into the village area of the map. As you begin with the storyline of the game, you’ll very soon be ambushed by Ganados in this area. Following the same, you’ll be able to get your hands on the weapon pretty soon, as compared to some others that’ll make themselves available later. Regardless, here’s a map representation of where you’d find the W-870 shotgun:
Just enter the hut, go upstairs, and you will find the Shotgun on a frame.
There will be a bunch of buildings in the area, and to top it all off, a bunch of Ganados will be ambushing you from all around. Due to the same, it could get pretty easy to miss out on the shotgun when you’re defending yourselves against them. However, spending some extra time searching for it and getting your hands on the same could change the outcome of a bunch of encounters that you’ll be facing pretty soon.
Another advantage of spending some extra time and acquiring the shotgun would be that you’ll absolutely be needing it when you’re up against Dr.Salvador. This happens at a pretty early stage of the game too, when you find yourself being stalked by him. Having a shotgun would definitely reduce combat time and would cause you to be in a better position than that of a knife and a pistol.
That’s everything we had on the shotgun’s location in Resident Evil 4: Remake.
