Resident Evil 7: Weapons and Where to Find Them

You're going to need every advantage you can get in the Baker house. Here's a rundown of the weapons available and where you can find them:

• How to get the shotgun: Keep an eye out for an optional puzzle that rewards you with this essential firepower.
• How to get the flamethrower: You'll find this in the creepy old house after making your initial escape.
• How to get the grenade launcher: Another optional weapon! Solve a puzzle to grab this and boost your offensive capabilities even further.
• How to get the machine gun: This is a late-game pickup, found when you're mounting a rescue mission.

Don't forget to look for repair kits too! These are crucial for upgrading your pistol and shotgun, making them much more effective against the horrors you'll face.
