Some weapons are just bound to make appearances in Resident Evil titles, and if you’re a fan, you’re likely eager to get your hands on them as soon as possible. That’s why you’ve been trying to figure out how to get the Grenade Launcher in Resident Evil Village.

Well, worry not. We have all the answers you’re looking for, and below you’ll find info on the exact location of this devastatingly powerful weapon. Be warned though; there are minor spoilers ahead.

How to Get the Grenade Launcher in Resident Evil Village

The Grenade Launcher can only be obtained after defeating the first two lords in Resident Evil Village; namely, Lady Dimitrescu and Donna the Puppeteer.

Defeating them will grant you access to the Four-Winged Unborn Key, which you can use to open the gate blocking the path that leads south from the Duke. This opens the way to the East Old Town portion of the village, where you’ll be able to track down the Waterwheel Weapon – aka the Grenade Launcher.

We’ve provided a screenshot of its location down below. It’ll also be marked with a Treasure Chest icon on your map, courtesy of the Duke.

Once you’ve obtained the key, head through the gate and toward East Old Town. Once you arrive there, a giant Werewolf enemy will attack you and begin to stalk you through the area. You can avoid it by darting through the houses on the right side of the area, and climbing up onto the rooftops via ladders whenever possible.

However, you will eventually need to get down on the ground and follow the river up toward the Waterwheel. To get through this portion, wait for the Werewolf to begin patrolling back near the area’s entrance, and then follow the river to the Waterwheel.

Once you reach the Waterwheel, head inside and look to your left. The Grenade Launcher will be leaning up against the wall next to its case. Grab it, and you’ll have successfully added it to your arsenal.
