How To Unlock Chicken Hat Accessory (Decrease Damage)

Resident Evil 4 Remake’s Chicken Hat Accessory is one of the many rare costume accessories that players can unlock within Capcom’s new game. The title offers a variety of equipment and weapons to use, which can be tailored to each one’s experience based on their preferences. Among the multiple costume accessories in Resident Evil 4 Remake, the Chicken Hat is one of the best.


Because of its premium status, completely absurd looks, and in-game effect, however, players need to undergo a fairly difficult trial before they can unlock the Chicken Hat in Resident Evil 4 Remake. The survival horror game has a total of four difficulty levels and the item is locked behind one of them. Not only that, but it is necessary to obtain a great score within that mode to get the costume accessory.

How To Get Chicken Hat Accessory In Resident Evil 4 Remake

Players looking to unlock the Chicken Hat Accessory in Resident Evil 4 Remake will have to play the game in Hardcore mode. If this is the first time they are playing the game, this will be the hardest difficulty available. In case they have already completed the game on another difficulty, it should be the second hardest, after Professional. The other requirement is that Hardcore mode be completed with an S+ rank.

Once unlocked, it will become available among the Extra Content Shop for 2,500 CP during the player’s next run of the game. It is not very easy to obtain, but if players know what they need to do to get an S+ Rank in Resident Evil 4 Remake, they may as well unlock the Chicken Hat accessory after their very first run of the game.

What RE4 Remake’s Chicken Hat Accessory Does

The item is locked behind a demanding set of prerequisites due to how good it is. Aside from its very outrageous look, contrasting to the game’s gritty and haunting setting, the Chicken Hat accessory in Resident Evil 4 Remake has a great effect: decreased damage.

By equipping this item, all the damage that Leon takes from opponents throughout his journey to escort Ashley is reduced significantly.

This does not make him immortal, as he can still be defeated, but it does help out a lot.

Using Resident Evil 4 Remake’s Chicken Hat accessory in Professional difficulty, for instance, is a great strategy. The highest difficulty will see Leon fall to a simple Ganado villager with only a few strikes. While the costume accessory does not prevent him from dying, it can help him survive a little bit longer.

This item can be the key to completing Resident Evil 4 Remake on Professional or, at least, going through additional Hardcore or Standard runs with a lot more ease.

    Summary:
    Resident Evil 4 Remake is a reimagining of the original classic released on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. A survivor of the Racoon City incident, Leon S. Kennedy, has been conscripted to serve as a member of the President of the United States Secret Service. However, with Umbrella disassembled, a new threat emerges – a cult known as the Los Illuminados, led by Osmund Saddler. Saddler has kidnapped the President’s daughter, Ashley Graham, and Leon has been dispatched to her last known location – a remote region deep in the heart of Spain. Carrying a heavy heart over his failure to stop Raccoon city from being wiped off of the face of the Earth, Leon looks to redeem himself by saving Ashley and putting a stop to this new threat. Resident Evil 4 Remake will follow in a similar vein as the Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes, with overhauled graphics and the evolved third-person action/horror gameplay the series has become known for.
