Resident Evil 4 Remake has introduced the crafting feature, which allows you to craft certain items using other items or materials that you have collected.
This will allow you to combine items into better ones that are either more effective or usable with some of your weapons.
Previously, the past Resident Evil games had a combined feature but with this crafting system, Resident Evil 4 Remake has changed things.
How To Craft Items?
There are two ways in Resident Evil 4 Remake that you can craft items, which are by selecting one of the items used in a blueprint or through the crafting menu.
If you are looking at your inventory, you can select an item that can be used in crafting and choose the “craft” option, which opens up a list of what it can be used for.
You can open the crafting menu through your inventory, which shows you a complete list of all the blueprints that you have available.
Crafting Menu
The crafting menu is the best way to craft items as it shows a list of all the materials that you have available for crafting items.
A list of all the learned blueprints will also be shown and the ones that you can craft will be highlighted, which means you have enough materials to craft them.
In this menu, you will be able to craft multiple items easily by selecting what you want to craft and holding the craft button down.

Most of the blueprints or crafting recipes are unlocked as you progress through the game while others can be purchased from The Merchant.
The Merchant will not be selling all the recipes from the start but eventually will have them for sale as you progress to other chapters.
Once a crafting blueprint has been purchased, the recipe will be available in your crafting menu and may be crafted once you have the needed materials.
Verdict
The whole crafting system has brought more life to the game, allowing players to make use of the many recipes available to restock supplies.
This makes it even more vital to make use of materials that you find in the game and gives players a good reason to search areas thoroughly.
If ever you are running low on health, or ammo or in a tough situation, it’s best to check your inventory to see if anything is available to craft, which may save your life.
