Obtainable as either Leon Kennedy or Grace Ashcroft (while the latter has the Requiem revolver), the “Bang For Your Buck” achievement in Resident Evil Requiem requires you to defeat at least three enemies with a single Requiem shot. It can be difficult to line up three enemies together, but thankfully, certain sections make things easier for you.
If you want the achievement as fast as possible, the East Wing of the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center gives some good opportunities as Grace
Getting a good shot in as Grace is harder since her sections are more horror-focused and scarce on resources, but the game lets you obtain the achievement quite early.
There are two scripted encounters in the East Wing where at least three enemies are funneled down a corridor. The first encounter takes place in the corridor between the Blood Lab and the Waiting Room. As you approach the door of the Waiting Room, three zombies will turn the corner and make a beeline for you. There is some wiggle room for them to maneuver, but the Requiem’s large area of effect should allow you to hit all of them without too much trouble.
The second encounter happens in the Isolation Ward. Just as you leave the Security Manager’s Office in search of Emily, four zombies will start walking to the entrance of the room. They won’t be immediately aggressive, so take this opportunity to wait for them to line up for a quick Requiem shot.
If you’ve run out of Requiem ammo, you can always craft some more. Take the ID Wristband (Level 1) from the corpse where the East Wing Chunk spawns and bring it to the locked door in the Waiting Room. This is where you can obtain the Blood Specimen (Converged). Take the blood specimen to either the Blood Lab on the first floor of the East Wing or the Office on the second floor of the West Wing (the first area is closer) and analyze it to unlock the Med Injector and 12.7x55mm (Requiem) ammo crafting recipes.
Requiem ammo requires one Rare Metal and 80 Infected Blood to craft. Infected Blood can be found in buckets of blood and extracted from fallen enemies, while one Rare Metal can be found in a lockpick container in the East Wing Lobby (a Lockpick can be found in the Lead Researcher’s Office in the East Wing).
Late-game Leon sections provide several opportunities to kill three zombies with one Requiem shot
Leon can’t craft Requiem ammo (he can only pick it up in certain locations), but his sections have more enemies running at him. Though the general rule of thumb is to use the Requiem for tough fights, be sure to save some bullets for opportunities when three or more enemies are grouped up.
Arguably, the best time to get this achievement is in the Grimstone Building Basement after taking the lift down while progressing through the main story. In addition to the area being full of zombies, a concrete cylinder near the exit provides a linear path that funnels them into a straight line. Simply wait on one side for enough zombies to enter your trap and shoot them in the chest for maximum accuracy.
While these are some of the easiest areas to get the “Bang For Your Buck” achievement, they aren’t the only opportunities you will get. Maneuvering around combat areas will naturally group enemies, so make sure you have at least one Requiem ammo on hand to take advantage of their poor positioning.
Resident Evil Requiem is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows (Steam).
