Infinite ammo in Resident Evil Requiem is not something you can simply enable from the menu. Rather, it’s a reward you gain towards the very end of your playthrough and turns your survival horror experience into a power fantasy victory lap once you’ve unlocked it.

To even have the option to enable this, you need to beat the main story once, after which you can access the Bonuses -> Special Content section, where Capcom puts all of the good stuff, including the Infinite Ammo (Guns) upgrade. This costs 50,000 CP and, once you’ve bought this upgrade, you can enable it across almost all guns in all your future saves.

The best way to achieve that 50,000 CP is not through mindless grinding, but rather through a ruthless second playthrough on the Insanity difficulty. Beating the game on Insanity difficulty alone will reward you with about 40,000 CP. Paired with the challenges you have already completed, you should have more than enough to buy Infinite Ammo immediately.

If you really want to break the game, consider pairing Infinite Ammo with Infinite RPG, which costs 35,000 CP, and Infinite Ribbons, earned by completing the game in under four hours with the Alpas ending. The former removes boss phases, while the latter removes the save management hassle that usually accompanies playing at greater difficulties.

On PC, you have the nuclear option of trainers/mod menus that lock your ammo count at the time you load in, but that’s best done offline, separate save, if you want a ‘clean’ completion.

Resident Evil Requiem has five combination safes hidden throughout the game, at the Rhodes Hill Care Center and the later ARK facility. To get the “No Safe Is Safe” achievement, you need to crack all the combination safes. Each safe uses the same combination, which is a three-digit number, but the direction you turn the dial (left or right) is just as crucial as the number itself.

The combination for each safe will be represented as a number followed by a direction. For instance, “10L – 80R – 30L” means you need to turn the dial left to the number 10, right to the number 80, left to the number 30, and finally confirm. If you go past a number or turn the wrong way, the dial will go back, and you’ll need to re-enter the whole combination.

Casual / Standard Difficulty Codes

For Casual and Standard difficulty, all the combination safes use the same combination that you can use without ever reading the lore files that reveal the combinations.

Insanity Difficulty Variants

On Insanity, all five safes use alternate codes, but the locations and rewards stay the same.

Safes appear only in the sections where the story is played through with Grace, so overextending the story may result in you being unable to access the safe in the area you were in previously. To ensure you don’t miss the trophy, try saving manually in each of the major areas, such as the Care Center, Basement, and ARK.

One of the biggest questions from fans upon the launch of Resident Evil Requiem was whether the field of view (FOV) could be changed, given that it dramatically enhances the experience of the game. While it may not be a simple answer, this article explores how FOV can be adjusted in the game to enhance the experience.

Native FOV Slider in RE Requiem

Unlike some of the modern action games, Resident Evil Requiem does not include a native FOV slider in its settings, which means the degree of field of view cannot be manually set beyond what has been put in place by the developers. This setting is consistent for all platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Understandably, this is frustrating as a wider FOV is often preferred by players for an enhanced experience.

Wider Field of View offers a more noticeable experience and helps make the game immersive for a wide range of players. Some even use it to help with motion sickness, while others try to take advantage of their wide monitors. Omission of this setting has been widely noticed by players and critics alike.

How to Adjust Your View in Resident Evil Requiem

The absence of numerical FOV is greatly missed, especially for a game that has a very detailed environment, but Resident Evil Requiem has workarounds that can help with improving your visibility.

Switching Camera Perspectives: Unexpectedly, switching to third person gives a wider view for obvious reasons, which makes the FOV wider and gives a more immersive experience, and how you can achieve that is by going to the Camera Tab under settings and selecting Third-Person perspective.

It goes without saying that this does not alter the experience by a lot, unlike what a discrete FOV change could have done, but it’s better than nothing and a fun little way to try a different experience.

The absence of a discrete FOV setting does make the game a little less enjoyable despite being a strong entry in the ever-popular horror franchise. While this doesn’t take many things away from the game, this would have been a welcome option that would drastically improve the already amazing experience.
