The Duke's Emporium

Overview

The Duke's Emporium is Resident Evil Village's shop, similar to the Merchant from Resident Evil 4, but with some added perks. The Duke's Emporium allows the player to stock up on ammo and healing items, sell treasures they find, buy weapons, upgrade their equipment, increase their inventory space, and buy recipes that allow for crafting things such as different ammo types.

In exchange for Lei, you can buy weapons, ammo, healing items, baggage that increases inventory space, customizable parts to upgrade weapons, and recipes for crafting under the Supplies menu at the Duke's Emporium.
