Leon uses Credits at Supply Boxes for weapon stats (Firepower, Reload, Capacity) and hatchet sharpening. Grace uses a unique 'Blood Collector' system to analyze infected blood via laser microscopes to craft superior injectors (Steroids for HP, Stabilizers for aim).

Progression is based on survival and character choice. Players choose from eight distinct characters, each with unique passive abilities that encourage different team strategies. There is a deep crafting system for creating weapons and tools, and players must manage their inventory and a 'Thermal Load' hydration mechanic to survive.

Requiem features five massive interconnected zones: Wrenwood Hotel (Introduction), Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center (Hub), East Raccoon City (Exploration), RPD/Orphanage (Nostalgia), and the ARK Facility (Climax). It is approximately 2.5x larger than Resident Evil Village in terms of navigable space.

The game features six hand-crafted districts that make up Pelican City. While the districts themselves are fixed, the interiors of buildings are procedurally generated for every run, ensuring high replayability and a constant sense of unpredictability. A subway system is used for travel between districts.
