There are a lot of interesting mechanics sprinkled throughout Resident Evil: Village. At its core, it seems similar to Resident Evil 7, but in reality, it's an amalgamation of gameplay from various Resident Evil titles. You'll find yourself combining treasures to make more valuable variants, upgrading weapons, and finding useful attachments. You'll even find yourself doing a bit of crafting and the ability to make things can mean all the difference between Ethan surviving or falling into an early grave.
But it's not enough to simply find materials, you'll also need a recipe. There are eleven craftable items that you can make during your adventure and nine of them require you to unlock recipes first. By the time you reach the game's climax, you'll definitely want the ability to craft everything. Each item has its uses and the enemies only get stronger as the story progresses. To make it easier, here's a look at every single crafting recipe in Resident Evil: Village, and how to snag them for yourself.
Every Crafting Recipe And How To Make Them
When you first step foot into the world of Resident Evil: Village and start navigating your way through the village, you begin to realize how important ammunition, healing items, and explosives are. There are many times when you'll find yourself overwhelmed, or find yourself gunning through hordes of enemies just to access a particular area. You can only find so much ammo and healing items aren't nearly as plentiful as you'd hope. This is especially true on higher difficulties, so it's vital that you're capable of making what you're missing in order to survive.
It's also important that you keep your eyes peeled for materials. There are herbs, scrap, chem fluid, and other items strewn all throughout the areas of Resident Evil: Village. Missing a potential material could be the difference between crafting a needed item or suffering without.
