Get infinite ammo with Cat Ears – RE4 Remake

It’s not easy to get them though, as to even unlock them for purchase, you must complete the game on Professional difficulty with an S+ rank. To get such a rank to need to complete the game in under five and a half hours, making fewer than 15 saves along the way. Doing that will unlock the Cat Ears for purchase for 3,000CP.

How to unlock the Infinite Rocket Launcher – RE4 Remake

If you were wondering why the Cat Ears don’t affect the RPG, this is why. Start the game in New Game Plus mode on any difficulty and the merchant will offer you this glorious item for 2 million pesetas – you’ll need to check out our guide for selling treasure for 100k pesetas if you want to earn the cash.

How to unlock the Infinite Handcannon – RE4 Remake

The Handcannon is one of RE4 Remake’s bonus weapons, and you’ll eventually be able to mod it to have infinite ammo.

To get the gun in the first place, complete the game on Professional difficulty without using any other bonus weapons, then buy it for 1,000CP. Then all you have to do is purchase every single upgrade for the gun, which will set you back 540k pesetas – or get an upgrade ticket for 30 spinels if you have them lying around.

How to unlock the Infinite Chicago Sweeper – RE4 Remake

Like the Handcannon, the Chicago Sweeper is a bonus weapon, serving as the best SMG in the game.

To unlock it, you need to complete the game on Professional difficulty at an A Rank, which you do by beating it in under seven hours. Once you’ve bought it for 1,000CP, you once again need to purchase every upgrade for it – that’ll be 660k pesetas, please. You can skip all that if you buy an upgrade ticket for 30 spinels though.
