Resident Evil 2 features a diverse arsenal, with specific weapons tied to each character. Leon's primary weapons include the Handgun (VP70), Shotgun, and Magnum. Claire's arsenal consists of the Handgun (Browning HP), Bowgun, and Grenade Launcher. Both characters can find a Combat Knife for melee attacks. Ammunition is scarce, so conserve it by aiming for headshots or critical weak points. Weapon upgrades (e.g., Shotgun Parts, Magnum Parts, Bowgun Parts) can be found to enhance capacity, power, or firing speed. The Grenade Launcher uses different ammo types: Flame Rounds, Acid Rounds, and Explosive Rounds, each effective against different enemy types.
