Resident Evil 3 - How to Craft Grenade Ammo

Use looted explosives to craft grenade ammo in Resident Evil 3

Just like regular ballistic ammo, you can craft a variety of grenades for use in the grenade launcher. There are four varieties you can use, and three of them can be crafted (Mine Towers must be salvaged and are best kept for critical encounters).

HE shells are the generic grenade ammo, and they do exactly what they say on the tin. Flame shells will engulf the area around which they exploded in flames (useful against gamma hunters and zombie mobs), and acid shells will act the same, but with acid instead of fire (ideal for spreading the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3).

Explosives can be found much like gunpowder and come in flavors Explosive A or Explosive B. They can be combined to make any of the three grenade ammunition above:

• Explosive A x2 – Explosive Rounds
• Explosif A + Explosif B – Flame Rounds
• Explosive B x2 – Acid Rounds

To combine them, they must first be in your inventory (you cannot combine items that are in your item box). Once in hand, select the first material, then go to "Combine". Only items that can be combined with each other will be highlighted, so it will be easy to identify the other materials in your inventory. PC players can also drag and drop materials to combine them.

Much like gunpowder, these materials will take up much needed inventory space in Resident Evil 3, and you don't want to waste them just to make room. Store them in your item box and combine them as necessary to make sure you always have the right grenade ammo for the current situation, otherwise you could end up with a glut of bad tricks.
