The recently released Resident Evil 4 "Chainsaw Demo" has a secret weapon that will make life a lot easier for players who are struggling against the hordes of enemies wandering around the ill-fated and unnamed village. Many consider Resident Evil 4 among the greatest games in the series, so expectations are high for the remake. Reactions to the "Chainsaw Demo" are encouraging thus far, but perhaps the more squeamish gamers who are curious and have not yet played it will be emboldened by this new discovery.

The Resident Evil 4 remake is one of the most anticipated games of 2023 and has already been spotted in the wild, making the two weeks leading up to its release on March 24 an exercise in avoiding Resident Evil 4 remake spoilers for those who wish to experience it first-hand. It is unknown whether this secret from the demo will appear in the game.

This hasn't stopped players from picking apart the Resident Evil 4 "Chainsaw Demo" for all it's worth; it has been discovered that there is a TMP (a lightweight submachine gun) hidden in the depths of a secluded well found in the village area of the game. It comes with an ample supply of ammunition making the climactic encounter with The Chainsaw Man a breeze. The discovery is credited to a Steam user named Vizixi. There is also a kitchen knife hidden in the same area.

If you want a scarier experience rather than an easier one, modders have gotten the Resident Evil 4 "Chainsaw Demo" working in VR. The community seems to be having a great deal of fun with the demo which is free to play and infinitely replayable without any time restrictions, so it is likely that more secrets will surface in the coming days. Perhaps there are more hidden weapons and Easter eggs for players to discover; only time will tell.

The original Resident Evil 4 was known for its somewhat cheesy story, which has seemingly been reworked for the remake to have a moodier tone more appropriate for the modern audience. It will be interesting to see how much has changed when the game releases, but one can only be somewhat annoyed and frustrated by the fact that physical copies have found their way into the hands of people who wouldn't think twice about spoiling the game for others who have been looking forward to it since it was announced in 2022.

Resident Evil 4 releases for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on March 24, 2023.
