In the Resident Evil 4 Remake a new gameplay mechanic was introduced with the charms. These charms are little trinkets you can attach to your storage case to gain passive buffs and other benefits.
In this guide, I will showcase how to gain these charms, a complete list of the charms, and how to use them, in Resident Evil 4 Remake. This way you can be informed going into the game, and ready to face any challenges.
Completing target shooting challenges in the shooting range rewards you with bronze, silver, or gold tokens, but you’ll only be able to use certain weapons for each challenge.
Once you’ve got your tokens, take them back to the prize vending machine near the entrance and insert them to roll a random charm.
When you’ve got the charms you want, you can equip up to three of them to your attache case at the typewriter, which provides you with their benefits.
Keep trying different combinations that suit your playstyle, or create a new one to either challenge yourself or try something you never thought of before.

Resident Evil 4 Remake How to Get Charms
Once you reach Chapter 3, you will be able to access the merchant’s first big shop near the lake. You’ll have to pass through the Quarry and then you’ll arrive at his store. Take the elevator just to the right of the merchant to head down into the range itself.
Completing target shooting challenges in the shooting range rewards you with bronze, silver, or gold tokens, but you’ll only be able to use certain weapons for each challenge.
If you want the highest score, or to shoot every skull symbol for an extra gold token, you need to unlock the bonus round by completing the extra conditions. You can retry old challenges, so don’t worry about getting perfect scores on your first try.
Once you’ve got your tokens, take them back to the prize vending machine near the entrance and insert them to roll a random charm. You have a better chance to score a rarer charm if you insert three gold tokens, but you can also mix and match the token types.
When you meet the merchant in chapter 11, you’ll be able to purchase gold tokens for three spinels each, though since that currency is limited and very valuable, I’d advise against buying too many of them.
This was the location to look out for, when it comes to how to get charms in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

It’s worth noting that you can’t use saves to reroll your charms. For example, if you roll three sets of three gold tokens, load a save, and roll again, you’ll always get the same three charms you did previously.
You can also roll charms you already have, but sadly you can’t stack them to double their effect, so your only choice would be to sell them back to the merchant for a little bit of money.
