There are 58 Records (one of which is earned by getting everything else) that serve as your in-game challenges across all runs and saves. Once you finish Resident Evil 3 for the first time, you’ll unlock a shop with a bunch of coveted items including infinite-ammo weapons (the most expensive of which is a rocket launcher), special coins that increase your attack, defense, and even health-regen, and an iconic costume for Jill, just to name a few. When you get to this room outside of the substation, create a “farming” save. With that preamble out of the way, let’s dive in. There are a few other spots worth mentioning too. The main trick to know is that you can score quick kills (and, in turn, wrack up points), then reload your save file to run the farming route again and again. If you rushed past the substation and never looked back, no worries – it takes no time at all to reach the area again in a new file. Before I delve into spoilers and talk about this stuff in-depth, I wanted to share a PSA: try to set aside a save file before you enter the substation. The more challenges you finish, the more points you’ll have, and the more unlocks you can buy. Half the fun of Resident Evil 3 is running through the story multiple times – not just to earn better ranks and tackle harder difficulties, but also to get some wonderfully overpowered post-game weapons.Ĭapcom’s 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3 uses a challenge-based system that incentives you to earn trophies/achievements and score a bunch of kills with all of the standard weaponry, among other goals. Keep an extra RE3 save file around to earn challenge points
