Resident Evil 4’s inventory management is one of a dozen memorable things to be found inCapcom’s survival horror classic, and it’s also the most enduring. Leon’s attache case is a nonsensical place to keep dozens of guns, herbs, jewels, eggs, fish, knives, and everything else our lovable himbo stumbles across during his ultraviolent European bender.
