How the Special Content Shop works after your first completion
The Special Content Shop automatically unlocks when you complete the game once. You do not need to meet any rank requirement. Once available, you can access it from the main menu.
This shop includes concept art, 3D models, behind-the-scenes videos, and Grace’s Report files. More importantly, it becomes the central hub for purchasing gameplay-altering unlockables using CP. CP does not reset between runs, so every challenge permanently contributes toward unlocking more powerful content.
CP is earned by completing in-game challenges such as enemy kill milestones, difficulty clears, no-death runs, time-based completions, statue destruction, and hidden collectible acquisition. If your goal is to unlock everything efficiently, you should prioritize stacking challenges in a single playthrough.
How to get infinite ammo for most weapons
The primary route to Infinite Ammo for standard weapons costs 50,000 CP in the Special Content Shop. Once purchased, infinite ammo applies permanently and carries over into future runs.
To reach 50,000 CP efficiently, you should combine:
Speed-based challenges
Higher difficulty clears
Enemy elimination milestones
Collectible completion tasks
Stacking these objectives allows you to avoid grinding multiple separate runs.
Infinite RPG and explosive dominance
The Infinite RPG costs 35,000 CP and functions as the most powerful crowd-control and boss-deleting tool in the game. Unlike the standard infinite ammo upgrade, this is a separate unlock.
There is also a purchasable RPG7 for Leon costing 15,000 CP, which is not infinite by default unless paired with the infinite ammo unlock. The Infinite RPG is distinct and does not require additional tuning.
How to unlock Infinite Ribbons for unlimited saves
Infinite Ribbons are tied to performance, not CP.
To unlock Infinite Ribbons, you must complete the game in under 4 hours and achieve the Alpas ending. Once unlocked, you gain unlimited saves even on the hardest difficulty, removing one of the game’s major survival limitations.
This reward significantly reduces the stress of higher-difficulty playthroughs and pairs extremely well with infinite ammo runs.
All CP-purchasable weapons and upgrades explained
Several powerful weapons become available through CP purchases.
| Weapon / Item | Character | Cost | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freya’s Needle | Grace | CP required | Machine pistol |
| Kotetsu | Grace | CP required | Infinite knife |
| Matilda Impunlike | Grace | CP required | Handgun |
| Ghost Grudge | Leon | 10,000 CP | Magnum revolver |
| Redemption | Unknown | CP required | Revolver |
| Clatter Carbine | Leon | CP required | Machine gun |
| Mortal Edge | Leon | CP required | Alternate axe |
| RPG7 | Leon | 15,000 CP | Rocket launcher |
The Kotetsu is especially notable because it provides an infinite knife, eliminating durability concerns. This makes stealth and resource conservation far easier in early-game speedruns.
Advanced tuning and Mr. Raccoon statues
Destroying all 25 Mr. Raccoon memoriam statues unlocks Advanced Tuning, which enables an extra level of weapon enhancement beyond the normal cap.
If you want full combat optimization, this unlock is mandatory. The game also allows you to purchase Mr. Raccoon Maps, which reveal statue locations to streamline completion.
Collecting all statues in a single guided run is the most efficient method, especially when paired with a speed-focused playthrough.
Character costumes and performance bonuses
Not all costumes are cosmetic. The Rugged Rookie outfit, inspired by Resident Evil 2 Leon, costs 6,500 CP and increases firepower.
Additional costumes include:
- FBI attire for Grace
- RPD uniform for Leon
Each costs 500 CP. Other outfits unlock simply by completing the game once, without CP cost.
Charms and passive boosts
Charms provide subtle but impactful gameplay advantages.
| Charm | Requirement | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Claire Redfield’s Charm | 300 enemy kills | Increases bullet penetration |
| RPD Charm (Leon) | Find all 1998 Raccoon City letters | Passive bonus |
These unlocks reward either combat consistency or thorough exploration. If you are attempting an S-rank or high-difficulty clear, penetration bonuses can drastically improve efficiency against armored enemies.
Infinite durability for hatches explained
For 20,000 CP, you can unlock Infinite Durability for Hatches, removing break limits. This is particularly useful in higher difficulties where durability normally forces strategic route planning.
While not as flashy as infinite ammo, this upgrade significantly smooths replay runs and speed attempts.
Efficient strategy to unlock everything faster
If your goal is full completion, you should structure your runs strategically.
Your first run should focus on story completion and collectible awareness.
Your second run should combine statue destruction, kill milestones, and time efficiency.
Your third run should target the sub-4-hour Alpas ending for Infinite Ribbons.
By stacking challenges intelligently, you can realistically unlock infinite ammo and most weapons within three well-optimized playthroughs rather than grinding five or more.
| Category | Unlock Method |
|---|---|
| Infinite Ammo | 50,000 CP |
| Infinite RPG | 35,000 CP |
| Infinite Ribbons | Under 4 hours + Alpas ending |
| Advanced Tuning | Destroy 25 Mr. Raccoons |
| Firepower Costume | 6,500 CP |
| Tactical Tracker | 3,000 CP |
| Blood Capacity Upgrade | 1,000 CP |
Mastering unlock progression in Resident Evil Requiem
Unlocking everything in Resident Evil Requiem is about efficient challenge stacking and strategic replay planning. The game rewards performance rather than grind. Once you secure infinite ammo, Infinite Ribbons, and Advanced Tuning, the experience shifts dramatically from survival horror to controlled dominance.
If you plan your runs carefully, combine objectives, and aim for the Alpas ending early, you can transform the difficulty curve entirely and access every major unlock without excessive repetition.
