How to repair Leon's knife in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Find out how you can repair Leon's knife in Resident Evil 4 Remake, as it's important to make sure your knife is always available for tough encounters.
The Resident Evil 4 Remake builds upon the foundation set by the highly acclaimed original, and while it's still recognizable at a glance, elements like the increased horror atmosphere, reworked combat, and modern visuals make for a whole new experience.
One of the biggest changes to the game is how the knife works, elevating it from a tool for hitting crates and spamming downed enemies to an actual weapon that can save your life when used correctly. So, if you find your knife running low on durability, check how our guide on repairing Leon's knife.
How do you repair the knife?
As you use Leon's knife, its durability will decrease until it breaks, making it unusable until you fix it again.
This means you need to make sure your knife is repaired frequently, otherwise, you may find yourself stuck without one, which can be fatal in this game.
To tell what the condition of your knife is, you can either check it in the attaché case or look for the knife icon just above the equipped weapon UI.
To repair Leon's knife, you will need to head to the Merchant NPC, who pops up in multiple different locations throughout the story, with the first time being after you awake in the factory. In the shop menu, select 'Tune Up' and then click the 'Repair' option at the bottom.
The current durability of your weapon dictates how many Pesetas it costs to repair the knife, meaning there's no fixed price, but when it's broken it will cost 5000 ptas for a full repair.
It's worth noting that only Leon's combat knife can be repaired, as the other blades you can find throughout the game will break outright once their durability hits zero.
