Shotgun location in Resident Evil 4 Remake

Shotgun RE4 Remake - At the very beginning of the game, the protagonist Leon will have a gun with a knife to defend himself. While this might work for entry-level undead, you'll need something with more power pretty soon when you're diving into higher-level fights.


You could start by getting the W-870 shotgun. Due to its firepower, it allowed you to control masses of enemies, making it one of the best weapons in the game. So in this article from Frontech we are going to show you where to find the W-870 shotgun in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

As you've probably guessed, you don't get a shotgun as part of the storyline. You must look for it. Once you've done the same, all you can do is use it. Here's where to look:


To get your hands on the W-870 shotgun, start in the Village area of the map. When you start the game's storyline, you will be ambushed by Ganados very soon in this area. After that, you'll be able to get your hands on the weapon fairly soon compared to some of the others that will make themselves available later. Regardless, here's a map representation of where you would find the W-870 shotgun:

Just enter the shack, go upstairs and you'll find the shotgun on a frame.

There will be a number of buildings in the area, and to top it off you'll be ambushed by Ganados from everywhere. Because of this, it can become pretty easy to miss the shotgun when you're defending against them. However, if you spend a little more time looking for it and getting your hands on it, the outcome of a number of encounters you'll soon face may change.


Another benefit of investing a little more time and acquiring the shotgun would be that you will absolutely need it when fighting Dr. enter Salvador. This also happens fairly early in the game when you realize he's chasing you. A shotgun would definitely reduce fight time and put you in a better position than a knife and pistol.
