Resident Evil 4 remake side missions explained
Instead of getting full-on side missions, you are giving regular challenges that can be done to get Spinels. This is a new currency that can be used at the Merchant to get special guns and upgrades. Generally, these challenges are completed by doing small activities like finding medallions or shooting rats. You can get slightly more involved ones with small stories, but they generally won't take too long to get through. They are tagged on your minimap and are relatively easy to track down.
You access these missions by finding pieces of paper attached to walls, pillars, and more. You will find these frequently, and they are almost always worth doing, if you don't mind spending a little more time to get them all done. Resident Evil 4 remake can be a bit tough so it's good to get as much high-quality loot as you can.
