Charms are a totally new feature of Resident Evil 4 Remake. By playing the Shooting Range mini game, accessed by elevator at some merchant locations, Leon will earn tokens. Tokens can be spent for a random chance to earn Charms — small items you can hang from your case as a customization option. Charms come in four rarities and each one has a special bonus effect that will make this challenging survival horror game just a little easier. And if you earn them in one playthrough you’ll be able to bring them with you on a second playthrough. Some of the Charms are incredibly useful — and the top-tier charms can even improve Leon’s movement speed. Learn all about charms and their effects in the full guide below.

Charm Tier List
Charms are special rewards you can unlock in the Shooting Range. By completing shooting range challenges, you’ll earn tokens — spend tokens at the machine near the door to earn charms. You can hang up to three charms on your attaché case. Charms give Leon small buffs allowing you to customize your playstyle. The more tokens (and better quality) tokens you spend, the more likely you’ll earn high-quality charms.
Charms have four rarities, ranging from Common to Legendary. You can sell extra charms to the Merchant for cash. All Charms are based on the models from the original RE4 in a cute nod to the classic.
