Tips for Getting the Minimalist Achievement
Because the goal is to avoid anything but pistols and knives, players are better off without carrying any other weapons. But they are also advised to go for the Minimalist achievement in an Assisted New Game+. (Read on for more tips.)
1. Get the Minimalist in an Assisted NG+
2. Keep a Pistol and Knife, and Store Away Everything Else
Skip any collectible guns like the LE 5 when aiming for the Minimalist.
3. Unlock Infinite Ammo for the Handgun
4. Carry a Maxed-Out Primal Knife
If possible, combine the Primal Knife with the Deer Antlers Apparel. The accessory sharpens the blade, increasing its power beyond all other knives.
5. Exploit Case Charms that Increase Handgun Ammo Drop
TheResident Evil 4remake is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
