There are number of weapons in Resident Evil 4 Remake that players will get as they progress through the game as well as by buying from the Merchant’s Shop. One of the powerful weapons in the game is Bolt Thrower which is actually a Crossbow that can take down the normal enemies in one hit.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to get the Bolt Thrower weapon in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Getting the Bolt Thrower
Bolt Thrower is one of the Weapons that can only be bought from the Merchant. Players will unlock the Merchant in the Second Chapter of the game and you will be able to buy the Bolt Thrower right away. But the price for Bolt thrower in the Second Chapter will be 10,000 Ptas. If you don’t buy it in the second chapter and wait until the third chapter, you will be able to buy it for 8,000 Ptas.
Once you have reached the church, make your way to the Merchant’s new location and he will give the discount of 20% on the Bolt Thrower. It is the best time to buy the Bolt Thrower in the game. Select the Bolt Thrower in the Buy section of the shop to buy it. However, you will also be required to have bolts in order to use it.
The Bolt Thrower comes with only 3 Bolts and you can pick them up after killing the enemies but it would be better if you have the recipe for the bolts as well. In order to get the recipe, you would also have to buy it from the Merchant. The Bolt Recipe will cost you 6,000 Ptas. So, the total cost on Bolt Thrower weapon would cost you 16,000 Ptas, if you buy it in the second chapter or 14,000 ptas, if you buy it in the third chapter.
Spinels is the special currency in Resident Evil 4 Remake that players can get through different ways. Most of the players might not consider getting this currency but this currency can get you one of the most useful items in the game. Spinels is mainly used for Trading items with Merchant and you can get handful of items from him with Spinels.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to get Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Getting Spinels
There are two major ways from which you can get Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
- Complete Merchant Requests
- Kill Tough Enemies
The primary way of getting the Spinels is by completing the requests of Merchant. You will find the requests near the Merchant’s Shop or at random place in a location. The request will be on a note and there are two types of notes. One would be White like a normal Note and the other one would be Blue. All of these requests can be found along the main journey of the story and its your choice either you want to complete the requests or not.
All of the requests will denote an area as well where you would have to do a specific task, i.e. Shoot Blue Medallions, shoot rats, kill mini-boss, etc. By completing these requests, you will have to go to the Merchant and by talking to Merchant, he will give you the total number of spinels for completion of requests.
Another way to get Spinels is by killing the tough enemies. You will find these enemies at random spots in the main journey. However, you will get a very low number of Spinels from killing the tougher enemies and you might not be able to get the items from trading the Spinels. The better way to get Spinels is through completing the requests so, make sure to accept the request by picking up the notes and then complete the requests to get the Spinels.
Trading is one of the new mechanics added to the Resident Evil Remake series and in the new Resident Evil 4 Remake, players will be able to trade a special currency named Spinels for useful items.
