Bonus weapons and unlockables (Spoilers obviously)
I just unlocked New Game+ today and am trying to plan my future runs to unlock all the weapons (and Ashley's knight armor). That being said, I'm apparently not allowed to use 'bonus weapons' to unlock one of the three weapons, and I just want to be clear on what specifically I can't use.

Someone in another thread mentioned one of the Chicago weapons could be used without breaking this rule, but I'm guessing infinite rocket launchers would be out the window too? I don't think the infinite ammo accessory would count against this either?

Thanks for any help in advance!

The bonus weapons refer to the infinite RPG from NG+, chicago sweeper, handcannon and primal knife.

Primal Knife
Chicago Sweeper
Infinite Rocket, can't use this anyway because handcannon needs to be a new save file, not New Game+

Clothing accessorises are allowed, hats / costumes have 0 effect on this rule.
Deluxe edition weapons are free to use for the handcannon unlock.

Thank you both for replying!

One last question then - if unlock the handcannon in Mercenaries, are there any other unlocks that require me to not use bonus weapons?

Only the handcannon has that requirement.
