Resident Evil Village: How to Get The Samurai Edge

The Samurai Edge is a powerful handgun available in Resident Evil Village. This guide will show players how to unlock it. Resident Evil Village has been one of the highest-praised entries in the series. It continues to find the balance between its survival-horror gameplay and action setpieces. This entry picks up shortly after Resident Evil 7 where Ethan is now in charge of finding his taken daughter. This leads him throughout the village and he soon discovers the supernatural has taken over. Along the way, Ethan will pick up powerful weapons to use to take down enemies. One of these weapons is a powerful handgun known as the Samurai Edge. This guide will show players how they can unlock it.

Throughout the game, the player will occasionally make trips over to the Duke. This merchant character will offer the player the option to upgrade their weapons and cook food to provide permanent character buffs like faster run speeds and faster reload times. Players will use the materials they find out in the village to make themselves stronger. In the case of the Samurai Edge, this weapon is only available in a specific part of the game. Many might miss it since it’s part of the game’s more premium content. Here is how players can get the Samurai Edge in Resident Evil Village.

How To Get The Samurai Edge in Resident Evil Village

The Samurai Edge is only available as part of the Trauma Pack DLC. Players can either pick up the Deluxe Edition of the game or pay $12.99 USD to pick it up. It comes along with a variety of bonuses like the “Village of Shadows” difficulty from the beginning, the Baker Incident Report, and the Tragedy of Ethan Winters artwork. If the player purchases this DLC, they will be able to purchase the Samurai Edge from the Duke after meeting him.

This weapon is only helpful in the beginning parts of the game since later on, players will be able to find better upgrades for weapons already in the game. The Samurai Edge will quickly become one of your most unused weapons in later parts of the game. Those who picked up the Deluxe Edition are much more interested in the other content that comes along with it. For those looking to collect every weapon, they will need to purchase this additional DLC. Ultimately, it’s not really worth it. The choice is yours.

Resident Evil Village is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
