Should you buy the Bolt Thrower in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Buying the Resident Evil 4 Bolt Thrower or Rifle is a choice you make in the Remake when the Bolt Thrower and SR M1903 are both sold by the Merchant's shop, but probably don't have the money for both. They're very different Resident Evil 4 weapons for very different purposes and it won't be long before you have the Pesetas to buy both of them, but to start off with, we definitely recommend buying the rifle first, as it's the superior weapon and descriptions of the Bolt Thrower can be a little misleading. We'll explain why in our guide on whether you should buy the RE4 Remake Rifle or Bolt Thrower first.

Should you buy the Bolt Thrower in Resident Evil 4 or the rifle?

The Bolt Thrower's big advantage in Resident Evil 4 is ammo retrieval, where the bolts you fire can be picked up afterwards and reused, but the problem is it's just not very good, so you have theoretically infinite use… of one of the game's worst weapons. Woo.
