Exploiting Capacity Upgrades

Now, for the most part, ammo doesn’t tend to be too much of an issue in Resident Evil 4. Enemies are quite generous with their drops. However, certain special weapons, such as the magnum, require you to be a little pickier with your targets. They’re boss killers and should be used as such.

To help with this, you can exploit a handy little trick within the weapon upgrade system. When boosting a weapon’s capacity, the merchant will throw in a free magazine.  If you save these upgrades for when you’ve fired all your shots, it’ll pay dividends.
