Finding all the weapons and weapon parts in Resident Evil 3 is key to improving your damage output, upgrading weapons, and allowing you to take on tougher and tougher foes. You can find all the Resident Evil 3 weapons and weapon parts locations right here, with this guide.
Resident Evil 3 Weapons and Weapon Part Locations
G19 Handgun Location
The first weapon you will get is the G19 Handgun, and it is picked up from a cop during the intro of the game and therefore unmissable.
Red Dot Sight Location
The Red Dot Sight for the G19 handgun can be found in the safe located in Uptown. You can find the combination and safe location in our guide showcasing both of them.
Shotgun Location
The Shotgun can be found after you have picked up the Bolt Cutters. Head back to the Subway Control Room, which can be found on the other side of the Donut Shop. Enter the side office in the building and use the bolt cutters on the cabinet to obtain the Shotgun.
Tactical Stock Location
The next weapon part can't be obtained until you have obtained the Lockpick key item. Once you have it, do not turn the power back on. Instead, head all the way back to the main street in the Uptown district. You will need to find three Fancy Boxes in various shops. They can be found in the safe room of the Donut Shop, the Toy Store, and the Supermarket.
If you inspect all three of the boxes you can open each one to find a Jewel. Take all three jewels back to the Subway Station and into the first safe room you came across. Use the jewels on the Clock Monument puzzle in the corner. Once you have used two of them, you will be rewarded with the Tactical Stock weapon part for the Shotgun.
Extended Magazine Location
The Extended Magazine for your handgun can be found after you have turned on the power. As you leave the Substation, you will be ambushed by Nemesis. After he has burst through the wall, you will need to damage him enough so that he drops a Supply Case. One grenade should be enough to do this on Standard difficulty or lower. If it doesn't drop, keep dealing damage until he drops the Case. After it lands on the floor, pick it up, inspect it, and open it to find the weapon part.
Moderator Location
The Moderator is earned in the exact same way as the Extended Magazine weapon part. However, you have to deal enough damage to Nemesis once you have set the Subway route in the Subway Control Room. Once you exit the Donut Shop, deal enough damage to Nemesis and pick up the second Supply Crate.
MGL Grenade Launcher Location
The MGL Grenade Launcher can be found in the Office safe room in the Sewers. After Jill has slid down into the lower level, take the path straight ahead that curves around to the left. Climb up the ladder and enter the safe room to find the weapon lying on a table.
Semi-Auto Barrel Location
To get the Semi-Auto Barrel you need to complete the first boss fight with Nemesis and head to Kendo Gun Shop. Inside, on the left set of shelving, you can find the weapon part.
Scope Location
The Scope can be found in the West Office of the Police Station. It is sitting inside the locked case on the desk.
Tactical Grip Location
The Tactical Grip is accessed from the second floor of the Hospital. From the main intersection of corridors, after re-entering from the roof, walk straight forward and turn to your right. Look for a broken window and jump through it, out to the courtyard. On your right, you can find the weapon part sitting in a flower pot.
Dual Magazines Location
The Dual Magazines can be found in the safe in the Nurses Station in the Hospital. Once you arrive, the safe is located on the tables behind the counter. The code to open it is 9 left and 3 right.
G18 Handgun (Burst Model) Location
The upgraded version of the handgun—the G18 Handgun (Burst Model)—can be found once you regain control of Jill in the Hospital. It is sitting on the side in the Safe Room she wakes up in.
.44 AE Lightning Hawk Location
The .44 AE Lightning Hawk is found on the second floor of the Hospital. Head to the doorway that connects the corridor to the Nurses Station. If you look to the left of the Nurses Station door, you will see a gap Jill can crawl through. Jump out the window on the other side and look to your left to find a box with the weapon inside.
Shell Holder Location
The Shell Holder is found in the large storeroom beneath the hospital. It can be found after you have squeezed through the two sets of shelving. Interact with the console at the bottom of the staircase ahead and walk onto the lift that has now been lowered to the left. In the back, behind the lift you can find a case, which holds the weapon part.
Extended Barrel Location
The final weapon part can be found after you have found all of the fuses and taken the elevator up to the surveillance room. Behind the control desks, the Extended Barrel will be sat in a suitcase.
That completes out guide on every Weapon and Weapon Part location in the game. Be sure to stay up to date with the latest news when it comes to Resident Evil 3, and keep your eyes out in the coming days for more guides, including puzzle solutions and collectible locations, alongside our review.
