10 Best Weapons In The Resident Evil Series You NEED To Use
9. Shotgun (RE1 + RE Remake)
A classic weapon that makes an appearance in every RE game and became the catalyst for the infamous 'Jill sandwich' line. While a generic gun at first glance, it's when you start lining up headshots and hearing the sound of zombie brains splattering over the Spencer Mansion carpet that you see where this gun truly shines.
While the method for obtaining the shotgun differs between main characters Chris and Jill, it's the scenario with Jill that you're going to want to experience. After taking the shotgun from the wall and exiting the drawing room Jill will find herself in a sticky situation. luckily for her though, everyone's favourite side character, Barry Burton, is there to stop any lunch from being made.
Since shotgun shells aren't hard to come by you'll find yourself using this weapon to frequently dispatch of most enemies. It can knock down and do significant damage to almost all enemy types, even those in the latter half of the game however, it's most famous for its ability to decapitate zombies by aiming up and firing when they get close.
