Just like its many predecessors and the original game it was based on, the Resident Evil 4 Remake features a variety of unlockable, powerful weapons for players to obtain that can make higher difficulty modes much easier. The newly released Separate Ways expansion is no exception, as the DLC introduces a few special armaments for Ada to acquire, including an infinite combat melee weapon called the “Elite Knife.” Here are the requirements and a walkthrough for how to obtain Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways’ infinite combat knife.
Infinite Knife Requirements in Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways
To gain access to the infinite combat knife in Separate Ways, you must complete every Merchant request in the new Resident Evil DLC. In total, there are seven side missions interspersed through the DLC’s seven chapters. Completing each request will earn Pesetas, Spinel, and will unlock the Elite Knife, which can be purchased from the Extra Content Shop.
