Also available for RE2R and RE6!

1. DESCRIPTION


This mod replaces every instance of weapon, weapon parts and ammunition names in the game. This affects in-game names and descriptions, as well as records and models screen.
Both RT Patch and DX11 builds are supported. All languages are supported except Arabic and Thai.


The goal of this mod is to have real weapon & ammo names, without interfering with gameplay or readability - just as if Capcom had used real, licensed names.
We tried to make it feel as seamless and immersive as possible, while also being consistent with the RE2R version of this mod. As a result, we edited a couple textures to remove incorrect or fictional markings (eg Flash Grenade). Some completely fictional weapons like the Hot Dogger were left untouched. The file that tells you about gunpowder combination has also been edited to match the real ammo names.

To keep this mod as immersive and high quality as possible, it's separated into two support tiers:

  • Extra support for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Each and every name and descriptions were edited one by one by native speakers of these languages. In addition, ammo names were also replaced.
  • Standard support for every other language, except Arabic and Thai. The only difference is that ammo names are not replaced by real counterparts, as it would require a native speaker to do it properly. Therefore, no edits to items descriptions (eg Gunpowder) were needed.

I'm looking for native speakers to add Extra support for other languages. Don't hesitate to reach out to me and we'll make it happen!

The edited .csv files are available as an Optional Download. This is useful if you use want to use RWN with a weapon swap mod, and edit the name accordingly. You'll also need REMSG Converter to repack .csv files to .msg.
This is for personal use only. Permission is not granted to make your own mod using those files, nor to redistribute or reupload them in any way.
