RE: Village - How to get the Waterwheel Weapon Treasure (GM 79 grenade launcher)

Resident Evil 8: Village, like every Resident Evil title before it, is full of bone-jumping scares, bedeviling puzzles, and torturous secrets.

The game looks to tempt you with a piece of loot, a cryptic clue, and then put it just out of reach with players left unsure if they have missed a trick or simply don't have the correct keys or knowledge to know how to access the item.

One such item is the Waterwheel Weapon Treasure, which players can see on their map early on but which, at first, seems unreachable.

And it is, at first, with players needing to defeat Donna Beneviento before having the correct keys to access the area where the Waterwheel Weapon resides.
