Changing Weapons in Resident Evil 4 (Wii): Only at Weapon Boxes

You cannot swap weapons on the fly in Resident Evil 4 (Wii). Instead, you equip weapons at Weapon Boxes (wooden chests with red handles) found at set locations throughout the game.

How to Change Weapons

1. Approach a Weapon Box.
2. Interact (press A) → Weapon selection menu opens.
3. Choose desired weapon from your collected inventory.
4. Confirm with A. Leon equips it instantly.

Key Notes

• Availability Unlocks Progressively: Weapons appear in boxes at specific story chapters (e.g., Broken Butterfly in Chapter 3, Chicago Typewriter post-game).
• No Quick-Swap Mid-Combat: Plan your loadout before entering a fight zone.
• Match Weapon to Encounter: Shotgun for close quarters (Village, Castle interior), Rifle for distance (Waterfall, Island), Magnum for bosses, TMP for crowds.

Weapon Boxes are your armory. Use them strategically.
