The recently released Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo seems to have a few secrets that players are starting to uncover. Alongside the game’s Mad Chainsaw Mode, which lets you take on a more challenging version of the RE4 demo, players have discovered a third firearm that you can use throughout their playthroughs. It’s the TMP submachine gun, and unlocking it is a fairly simple task.

Here’s how to unlock the TMP weapon in the Resident Evil 4 remake Chainsaw Demo.

Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo: How to Unlock the TMP Weapon

What is the TMP submachine gun?

The TMP is a submachine gun and is a secret firearm that you very likely missed during your first playthrough of the Resident Evil 4 remake demo. It’s a weapon from the original RE4 game that’s associated with Ada Wong for her use of the firearm. Steam user Vizixi reported the discovery of the TMP weapon on a Steam Community page. 

Thanks to its rapid firing rate, the TMP can stagger and take down multiple enemies with ease, making it a very useful addition to your weapon arsenal, especially if you’re taking on Mad Chainsaw Mode. This is because once you complete the entire demo while you have the TMP in your inventory, you can keep it for all subsequent playthroughs, including Mad Chainsaw Mode playthroughs (via BltzZ).

How to unlock the TMP

To unlock the TMP, you simply have to discard all your inventory items before entering the village square. This includes all your weapons and other necessary items. Once you enter the square with nothing on you, head on over to the right side where you’ll find a path leading to a barn and a ladder that leads to some sort of tunnel. This tunnel is usually closed during normal playthroughs, but with no inventory on you, it will be open, allowing you to climb down the ladder.

Beneath the tunnel, you’ll find the TMP submachine gun in a chest, with ammo for the weapon inside some yellow barrels near the chest. You’ll also find a kitchen knife among these barrels.

Here’s a full playthrough that will walk you through unlocking the TMP from start to finish:

And that’s about it! Remember, once you finish the demo with this in your inventory, you get to keep it for subsequent playthroughs, so be sure to make it to the end if you want to make your Mad Chainsaw Mode attempts much easier.

Resident Evil 4 remake will be available this March 24 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
