1. Reason for FAQ
------------------
The reason for me doing this FAQ is to help people out who are STILL
struggling with the commonly known, Grenade Launcher glitch. I will try
to explain it as fully as I can to anyone who is struggling with this
nifty trick in the game. I understand there is cheats that provide the
basic explanation on how to do this, but still, some people have
questions, so I plan to answer and put peoples problems to rest in this
FAQ.
This as well is my very first FAQ, but not my first contribution at
GameFAQ's. There could be some errors, but hey, you learn from your
mistakes. All right. Lets get to the trick!
****THIS FAQ IS MADE FOR THE AMERICAN VERSION OF RESIDENT EVIL!!!!!****
****THIS DOES NOT WORK ON EUROPEAN (PAL) VERSION!!! IT WAS FIXED!!!****
-------------------------
2. How To Do This Trick
-------------------------
Read this part VERY carefully. These parts are very critical in the
trick.
First of all, to do this trick, you need at least ONE grenade launcher
ammo. You can't 'create' ammo or anything. Only make more of it.
Step 1 - You MUST place EVERY SINGLE item in the item box, yes, even the
grenade launcher. I recommend going to a completely empty area in the
Item box, so you remember where all your items are. Once EVERY item is
in the item box go to Step 2.
NOTE: For some, the Grenade Launcher will be in the first slot if
everything is in the item box, and the Grenade Ammo in the second slot,
if so, thats fine, then you don't have to move the Grenade Launcher and
the ammo into the item box.
Step 2 - Don't close the box just yet, Move the Grenade Launcher back
into the FIRST SLOT by clicking it twice with the "A" button Then
highlight the Grenade Launcher ammo of your choice, and double click it
with the "A" button to move it into your inventory. Make sure it's in
the SECOND SLOT, next to the Grenade Launcher.
Step 3 - Close the item box. with the "B" button.
Step 4 - Go into your item menu, and equip the Grenade Launcher (even if
you already have it equipped, unequip it, and equip it again).
Step 5 - Open back up the item box.
Step 6 - Click the Grenade Launcher AMMO, and select to move it back
into the Item box, try to move it into a free space. Then click the "A"
again to actually move it into the slot of your choice.
Step 7 - Move the cursor into the item box, and highlight the Grenade
Launcher ammo with the "A" button. You'll notice there will now be a box
around the Grenade Launcher in your inventory. Click the "A" button
again, and the Grenade Launcher rounds will move into the Grenade
Launcher
Step 8 - Your done! You will now notice the Grenade Launcher reads 240.
Depending on your mode, it will seems to read a square type thing, and a
75 (On easy, it doesn't glitch up the number), if you are playing on
Normal, close the item box, and open back up your inventory, you'll see
the number now says 240. Congratulations!

3. User Methods
------------------
Whats wrong? Is my FAQ confusing you? Do you need more support? Well, I
have good news! Some good people have been showing me some errors I may
of done, and sent in their own user methods! Here, I will provide what
the said, and it just might solve your problem! I will only accept 4-5
User Methods. If none work, even mine. Then you are doing some majorly
wrong, or you have the European version. If you have the European Version,
this will never work for you, since Capcom fixed it. Sorry =(
----------------
User Method #1:
----------------
1st, Go to any item box and take your grenade launcher and any type of
additional grenade ammo and put it in your inventory (doesn't matter
where u place your grenade launcher and extra grenade ammo in your
inventory, as long as its in your inventory, thats all that matters).
2nd, exit the item box screen and goto your inventory screen and equip
your grenade launcher. 3rd, approach an item box and open it. put back
your extra grenade ammo in the first slot (which first highlights red,
it doesn't matter if you put back your grenade ammo and had to take an
item from your item box, as long as you put back your extra grenade ammo
in the first slot that highlights red in the item box, thats all that
matters. 4th, once you put back your extra grenade ammo in the first
slot in the item box, switch your extra ammo that you just put back in
the item box with your grenade launcher in your inventory and wha la! u
have 240 shells! This saves you all the hassle of having ppl cleaning
out their inventory. Try it, I gaurantee this way works 100%

User Method #2:
----------------
1. Grenade Launcher in top left item slot.
2. Grenade type 1 in bottom left item slot
3. Grenade type 2 in bottom right item slot
4. All slots in between filled with any item.
5. Exit item box screen.
6. Equip Grenade Launcher
7. Return to Item Box Screen.
8. Find empty space on Item Box screen, put either Grenade type in space
(though it does seem to work best in default space, such is not
absolute).
9. Select grenades in the item box screen again, click A, then notice
that it is above your grenade launcher, click A again and you will have
240!
10. Repeat, and have fun!
Also, even in Easy (for me) it showed a block followed by the number 75
once I had completed the trick. I haven't tried it again, but I don't
think the inventory slot usage is absolute... I think it'll work in any
slot, regardless of how many items you have in your inventory at the
time, as long as the Grenade Launcher is in the main slot. I'll try some
more once I get back to that part of the game again (silly me, I saved
my completed game data over my last save, and thus have no means to get
back without going through the game again).

I've removed all Helpers for I feel I no longer need them and can answer
them myself now. If you need help on this glitch, please contact me directly.

5. What to Reproduce? (Types of Ammo)
----------------------------------------
There is a Varity of 3 types of Ammo in this game. I will list all 3
types of Ammo, and you can select the best type of Ammo for your
situation. I will also give a recommendation of what I think you should
use. I posted the first location you can get the rounds. Why do I need
to post all? Once you get the ammo, just reproduce it.
Explosive Rounds (Initial) - These types of rounds are silver. You can
get these rounds standard, when you first get the Grenade Launcher. I
would recommend these if you were taking out NON-Zombies. Though these
would be my LAST CHOICE to use.
Where Can I get this Ammo? - Like i said above, it is Initial. So it
comes in the Grenade Launcher.
Acid Rounds - These rounds let out an acid substance upon impact. Though
they do not fry zombies (they can come back as Crimson Heads) I hear it
works very well on some late monsters, such as Chimera. This would be my
SECOND Recommendation.
Where can I get this ammo? - I currently found this ammo eariler than I
posted. After you get the Sword Key, browse around the Mansion a little
bit, then report back to the main hall. Barry will give you Acid Rounds!
THE OLD VERSION:
I only found this in one location, if you found it somewhere else, feel
free to report it to me. Anyway, I found this ammo after you get the
Helmet Key, when you active the elevator, you get the battery to go into
the mine fields. The Acid rounds is on the floor, in the same room where
you got the battery.
Incendiary Rounds - Possibly the most useful, and the ones you will use
the most, if you use the trick. In 1-2 shots, a zombie will be fried and
will never come back as a Crimson Head, which saves you from the pain
of using the Fuel Canteens. They also take out other monsters in 1 or a
few more hits. This would be my FIRST Recommendation to clone.
Where can I get this ammo? - After you recieve the grenade launcher, go
to the room where the doorknob breaks after 2 uses. Go to that save room
(where the Fuel Canteen is), you should notice Barry now posted a
message outside the room saying he left ammo in the save room, you will
see Incendiary Ammo on the floor.

6. Websites
--------------
At the moment I am in need of some sort of website that provides a image
walkthrough or something with a more image approach. I had a website on here
that linked to New-Blood, but recently that has gone down and fused with
ResidentEvilFan. Look here in the future for a new possible website.
However Resident Evil Fan contains a video that shows how to do this cheat
please visit
http://www.residentevilfan.com/multimedia.asp and look for
'Grenade Launcher Cheat'. Please note I take no responsility or knowledge
on the production of that video. That video belongs to them, not me.

7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
---------------------------
This section is up to answer some questions that I felt, people will
ask. E-mail me if you want me to put up a question related to this
topic. If you e-mail me for a question on the trick, I will ask you if I
can post it here.
Q. Does it matter how much Ammo I have already in the Grenade Launcher?
A. No, lets say you have 3 Incendiary Rounds left, you can STILL clone
them, as if you had 6, the Quantity does NOT matter.
Q. Can I do this more than once?
A. Yes you can do it as many times as your heart desires!
Q. Once I clone one type of ammo, does the game 'know' I did this, and I
can't clone any other types?
A. You can clone another type of ammo, once you clone one type of ammo.
Q. Does item box matter?
A. Nope, any item box works.
Q. Who can do this trick?
A. Jill recieves the Grenade Launcher only. Chris does not however.
