10 Best Weapons In The Resident Evil Series You NEED To Use
1. Survival/Combat Knife (Multiple Titles)
A viable but challenging option in any RE (Resident Evil) game, far from the most powerful but easily the most iconic weapon in the series. It has appeared in almost every game and spawned countless knife-only speed-runs. Unlike other weapons on the list the knife adds more challenge to the game as opposed to removing it reminding us how RE puts the survival into survival horror.
Obtainable in some form in every entry in the series, the knife has birthed the knife only challenge which has become something all RE veterans aim to achieve with speedruns and world record attempts still being recorded and beaten to this day.
The knife's damage and speed varies across titles however, some of its most powerful variants include the knife in Revelations 2 and Code Veronica where a separate cutscene is available if you beat Nosferatu with the knife. The knife is a tough tool to grasp but when the player has learned to wield this little weapon it can provide the most rewarding playthrough in any RE game.
