In addition to separate characters and independent stories that eventually connect together, the other major aspect of these multiple campaigns are the weapons in Resident Evil 6 and we have compiled a list of all the Resident Evil 6 Weapons Locations for you.
Resident Evil 6 Weapons Locations
Each campaign will have a set of different weapons, and each set of character in the different campaigns will start off with completely different weapons.
There will also be occasions where different campaign characters will get the same weapon, but will find them at completely different locations in their respective campaigns.
This expands the general categories of weapons in the game, which is an extremely essential part of any kind of zombie-apocalypse scenario. For more help on Resident Evil 6, read our Weapons and Serpent Emblems Locations Guide.
As stated earlier, each character will start off with a specific set of weapons. The following are the campaigns, characters, and their respective weapons:
