Resident Evil 4 Remakeis crawling with infected beings, all of whom seek to kill Leon the moment they set eyes on him. Thankfully, Leon came prepared for such encounters and can rely on his trustyCombat KnifeandSG-09 R pistolto take these enemies down. While using certain firearms like the SG-09 R pistol, players might notice the'+1' textin the bottom right corner of the screen, but they might not know what it means.
What Does Plus 1 Ammo Mean?
While using the SG-09 R pistol, available fromthe beginning of Chapter 1, the player might notice the ‘+1’ text in the bottom right corner of the screen. This basically means that they have a bonus bullet to fire because there was already a bullet in the firearm’s chamber before Leon reloaded. This bullet can be fired alongside the newly added magazine without reloading, as it’s already inside the chamber.
Put simply, if the gun Leon is currently using runs out of bullets, he will need to insert a new magazine, which will then transfer bullets into his gun’s chamber. If Leonreloads after firing only a few of his newly reloaded bullets, the new magazine will replace all the bullets he fired while leaving the bullet from the previous magazine in the chamber, which with then cause the ‘+1’ text to appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.

It may sound a little complicated at first, but the amount of ammo Leon has in his possessiondoes not change unless he fires or obtains bulletsduring his journey. The ‘+1’ text is simply incorporated intoResident Evil 4 Remaketo enhance the realism of how certain firearms work in real life.
Not all guns available inResident Evil 4 Remakemake use of the +1 Ammo feature as, in real life, it just wouldn’t work. Guns that require bullets to be placed directly into their chambers will only ever have bullets resting inside their chambers, so such weapons can’t feature the ‘+1’ text.
