Resident Evil Requiem Unlockables Guide: Weapons, Cheats, And CP Costs
Revenge is sweet, but hitting a mutated bioweapon with an infinite rocket launcher is infinitely sweeter.
Surviving your first playthrough of a Resident Evil game is essentially an extended tutorial. The real fun begins the moment the credits finish rolling. When you finally beat the core campaign of Resident Evil Requiem, the game rewards you by unlocking the Special Content menu on the main title screen. This is your gateway to completely breaking the game.
You purchase these post game rewards using Completion Points, which are commonly referred to as CP. You earn this currency by completing specific in-game challenges during your runs. Some of these challenges are basic milestones like getting headshots, while others demand absolute perfection. If you want to run through the Rhodes Hill Care Center without worrying about inventory management ever again, you need to start farming.
I spent hours grinding out these specific challenges to map out the entire storefront. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of exactly what you can buy, what you need to do to unlock the top tier gear, and the fastest way to afford all of it.
How To Earn Massive Amounts of CP
Before you can buy the fun toys, you need to understand how the economy works. Buying everything in the Special Content shop costs a staggering amount of points. You will not be able to afford the infinite ammo modifiers just by playing casually.
If you want the big payouts, you have to target the high yield challenges specifically. The game tracks your progress across multiple playthroughs, meaning you can start a New Game Plus run strictly to knock out these massive objectives.
If you manage to complete the "Remarkable Agent" challenge, the game hands you an unbelievable 40,000 CP in one single drop. That alone nearly covers the cost of the ultimate infinite weapon modifier. Other massive payouts include "Minimalist" and "Never Touch the Stuff" which both reward a massive 35,000 CP each upon completion. Beating the game as fast as possible is also highly lucrative, with the "Speed Demon" challenge offering 20,000 CP and "The Final Puzzle" adding another 20,000 CP to your wallet.
If you are struggling to hit the required kill counts for challenges like "Bloodlust" which rewards 10,000 CP, you might want to adjust your controller setup.

Special Weapons And Cosmetic Unlocks
The first tab in the Special Content menu is entirely dedicated to your arsenal and your wardrobe. Any weapon you purchase here will automatically appear inside the item box for Grace and the supply box for Leon during your next playthrough.
Grace relies heavily on evasion and resource management early on, making her specific unlocks incredibly valuable. The Kotetsu is a makeshift knife that literally never breaks. Buying this should be your absolute first priority. It completely removes the need to constantly scavenge for scrap metal, freeing up crucial inventory space. Leon gets the heavy firepower, gaining access to burst fire handguns, a suppressed assault rifle, and a devastating rocket launcher.
Game Breaking Modifiers And Items
This is where the real power fantasy lives. The items tab contains the literal cheat codes you need to tear through the hardest difficulties without breaking a sweat.
Unlike the weapons tab, several of these modifiers cannot simply be bought with CP. They require you to fulfill specific gameplay conditions before they even unlock in the store. For instance, the Infinite Ribbon allows Grace to save at typewriters without consuming ink, but you only unlock the ability to buy it after completing the entire main story in under four hours.
Digging Into The Lore And Bonus Content
Capcom also bundled a massive amount of behind the scenes material into the post game unlocks.
Once you roll the credits, you gain permanent access to a robust Concept Art gallery and a highly detailed Character Model Viewer. These are fun distractions, but the real prize here is Grace's Report.
Grace's Report is a massive lore dump unlocked specifically for players who actually care about the overarching narrative. It is a long, highly detailed document that connects the chaotic events of Resident Evil Requiem to the broader franchise timeline. It answers several lingering questions about the bioweapons deployed in Rhodes Hill and outlines exactly what happens to the characters after their escape.
If you are currently wrapping up your first playthrough and need help tracking down the final secrets before you trigger the ending sequence, keep my Resident Evil Requiem all antique coin locations guide handy to clear out the map. Finish the story, claim your points, and go buy a rocket launcher.
