A fan of Capcom's Resident Evil 5 has gone online to point out that there is something to be said about the sparse equipment given to the game's protagonists, Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, at the very beginning of the game. With a powerful group such as Resident Evil's well-known BSAA, many would think that Chris and Sheva would be outfitted with the best gear that the organization has to offer.

Though there have been no announcements on new additions to the horror survival series since the launch of Resident Evil Village, the series' online community is still full of activity and engagement. Many seem to enjoy getting artsy, creating fan artwork and even remakes of iconic character weapons from the Resident Evil games. Others also find entertainment in lore discussions or fan theories. This allows community members such as this fan to share discoveries and opinions with other fans with the same interests.

On Reddit, user CrimsonClockwork20 shared a post of some of Chris and Sheva's equipment found in Resident Evil 5. In the caption, they pointed out that they "find it goofy" how the main characters are left with basic gear such as holsters, handguns, and a knife, while the rest of the BSAA or in-game militia are given heavy-duty weapons like assault rifles. Of course, the development team had programmed this to happen as players are likely encouraged to progress through the game to get better weapons and items for the main characters.

CrimsonClockwork20's post opened up a long discussion among fellow fans, with some pointing out that in Resident Evil 4, Leon Kennedy was sent out to rescue Ashley Graham with only a handgun. Other fans commented on this, stating that Leon was likely only sent out to investigate the kidnapping, and not bring havoc to an already dangerous situation in-game. Others also mentioned that the same can be said for Chris and Sheva in Resident Evil 5, wherein they were only supposed to check the situation out and were not responsible for a full-blown military operation.

It is very interesting to see that after all these years, fans are still invested in RE 5. Given that no official news about a Resident Evil 5 remake has been shared by Capcom, fans will likely have to keep replaying the original game or its ports in other gaming consoles. Hopefully Capcom will also add the third-person shooter title into the development pipeline of its remasters in the future.

Resident Evil 5 is available on PC, PS4, PS3, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
