The Resident Evil 4 Remake will require some crafting in order to obtain certain items in the game, so here’s our guide on how to do so.

Being a survival horror, crafting has been a big part of the Resident Evil games, as players rush into their inventories to craft bigger heals to stop themselves from being one-hit by zombies and mutant bosses.

The feature, of course, returns in the Resident Evil 4 Remake, allowing players to craft ammo and Mixed Herbs in order to increase survivability amongst the game’s horrors.

For those wondering how the feature works, here’s our guide on how to craft in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

How to craft in Resident Evil 4 Remake

In order to craft in Resident Evil 4 Remake, simply follow these steps:

  1. Open your inventory and head to the “Crafting” section.
  2. Here, players can see all of the items they can craft in the game, including the materials needed.
  3. Provided you have the materials, select the item you wish to craft, and hey presto, the crafted item will now be in your inventory.

There is actually another way that players can craft in the Resident Evil 4 Remake as if they already know the items they need to combine, they can:

  • Select an item with the Square (PS) or X (Xbox) button.
  • Place it on top of the item that it needs to be combined with.
  • Press select and it will make the item you wish to craft.

For example, if you have a Green and a Red Herb, simply select one and move it on top of the other, press select, and bingo, you have crafted a Mixed Herb. You can craft during the midst of battle as the game will pause, so don’t worry about getting to safety to craft and even heal.

Here are all of the items that players can craft in the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo:

  • Handgun Ammo
  • Shotgun Shells
  • Mixed Herb

These are all of the items players can craft in the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo, so we expect more items to be added to this list once the game launches. There is also a Merchant in the full game who will sell players crafting recipes so that players can craft things like weapons.

When that information is available, we’ll be sure to update this piece so stay tuned.
