Spinel is a special currency that players will come across in the world of Resident Evil 4 Remake. They can use this currency to purchase special equipment and upgrades from vendors. Since these aren't regular currency, their supply is limited, meaning there are only a handful of ways in which Spinels can be earned. Here's a quick rundown on how to get these Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake and their usage.

The easiest way to earn Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake is to complete blue poster requests. These posters can be found close to the Merchant and require players to complete a specific task in the game. These tasks range from killing a specific enemy type, or even shooting marked blue medallions during a certain level.

Once players have completed the request, they will need to return to the Merchant to collect their reward. Players will also come across a few mini-bosses and bosses who drop Spinels once they're defeated, but these enemies aren't too many in number.

These are all the items that players will be able to purchase using Spinels at the Merchant. However, they must remember that not everything will be available at the same time.

This list should also help players decide which items they'd want to purchase and the ones they would want to avoid. Given that Spinels are a limited currency, one should plan out the upgrades they wish to acquire in the Resident Evil 4 Remake.

For example, the most valuable items on this list are the Exclusive Upgrade Tickets. There will be two instances during which they'll be available at the Merchant. Using these tickets, players will be able to unlock the highest available upgrade for a specific weapon without tuning it completely.
