There’s plenty new to have fun with in the Resident Evil 4 remake and plenty new to unlock if you’ve got the skill and patience to pull it off. Aside from full costume unlocks, there’s a whole list of unlockable accessories to pick up, and not all of them are just for looks.

There are unlockable outfits for both Leon and Ashley, but our focus here is on the extended list of accessories you can unlock in the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
