The Bonus Weapons you can unlock in the game have Exclusive Upgrades akin to having cheat codes. The Unlimited Ammo Exclusive Upgrade, as the name implies, allows these weapons to have infinite ammo that you don't even have to reload. However, these weapons are hard to acquire. They require finishing the game following specific criteria such as within a certain amount of time and a specific difficulty. But they can be worth aiming for if you plan on going through multiple playthroughs at higher difficulties.

Being a survival horror game, you always want to survive combat encounters by spending the least amount of resources and time. Ammo can be scarce, and you will find yourself in many scenarios where the number of enemies might become overwhelming.

This makes the 2x Power Exclusive Upgrade the best upgrade to aim for when you have the corresponding weapons available. Being able to shoot down enemies faster with fewer bullets will save you from a lot of dire situations.

Inventory management is one of the huge aspects of Resident Evil 4 Remake. You never want to be in a situation where you have to discard items because you can't fit them in your inventory. Everything will become useful at one point or another. The 2x Ammo Capacity Exclusive Upgrade for some weapons allows your weapons to hold more ammo freeing up some space in your Attache Case giving it a bit of breathing room.

If you prefer the Striker over the W-870, consider unlocking its exclusive perk. It doubles the ammo capacity and saves you time from reloading in combat. An added bonus is it saves you space in your attache case by storing your shotgun ammo inside the gun instead. The Striker can be purchased from the Merchant in Chapter 10.
