Appears in	Resident Evil Resident Evil Outbreak

V-JOLT is an Umbrella-made chemical. It's a distinctively brown liquid, and was created when infected plants showed that certain cells would die when reacting with certain chemicals.

Purpose

V-JOLT is specifically created as a herbicide, especially Plant 42 and 43. It should be noted that in the 2002 version of Resident Evil, V-JOLT is made through a different puzzle solution.

Written on the wall just left of the door to the chemical room during the Mansion Incident is information regarding the creation of the chemical.

"1+3:4, 4+6:10, 1+6:7, 10+7:17, 17+3:20."

The above numbers are a hint for the puzzle. The player is given four empty bottles and each must be used to make the V-JOLT. The solution for the puzzle and to create the V-JOLT is:

1. Combine water (represented by the 1) and UMB No.3 to make NP-004.
2. Combine NP-004 and Yellow-6 to make UMB No.10.
3. Combine 1 and Yellow-6 to make UMB No.7.
4. Combine UMB No.10 and UMB No.7 to make VP-017.
5. Combine VP-017 and UMB No.3 to make V-JOLT.

After using the V-JOLT to weaken the plant, the player is given a choice to discard any remaining bottles in their inventory, if any. The solution above is for the REmake version only.

V-JOLT in Outbreak.

In Resident Evil Outbreak, the VP-017 and UMB No.3 are the only ones necessary to make the V-JOLT, and there's no puzzle nor other combinations. It is used to weaken the Monster Plant to ensure further access into the laboratory. Curiously, the plant is still active in Resident Evil 2, which is set after the events of the Outbreak scenario.
