According to the motion artist, Yuichiro Hiraki, the shotgun "Coyote" was a leftover asset from Resident Evil 4's development. The idea of Dante wielding the shotgun one-handed was inspired by the use of shotguns in the Mad Max franchise.

"The shotgun was planned for "RE 4", so we already had its basic motions in place to some extent. But what can you do with a shotgun besides hold and fire it normally, with two hands? That's not stylish at all. But what if it's fired one-handed? That's how they did it in "Mad Max", after all. Given that the shotgun was a leftover asset from ''RE". I decided to do something even more unconventional with it; Dante would reload it with one hand. That touch really helped me break away from the shadow of "RE."
