Note: whatever sub-weapon you have currently equipped will be your default Hail Mary when grabbed. Hold onto these until you’re desperate – or if you do get grabbed, you can always jam them into a zombie’s mouth (tap L1 when prompted), stand back and await the fireworks. The latter will take out pretty much any smaller enemy within three or four meters. The former will dazzle your enemies (even the big ones) long enough to make a break for it. Our advice: always save a flashbang or grenade for such an emergency. At times like these, wasting the precious few resources you have might be too much of a gamble. Spoiler: you will get cornered, you will run out of ammo and you will have no way out. The results are often messy and sometimes just a little darkly comic, but don’t get complacent: even parted from both arms and legs a zombie can still sink their teeth in if you get too close. Put a few well aimed shots into a zombie’s knee-caps and they’ll no longer be able to stand, blow off their arms and they’ll no longer be able to break down doors, or if you’ve got some heftier firepower – a pump-action shotgun, say – then aim for the mid-section to blow them clean in half. One creative way to save ammunition is to cripple your enemies by hitting them where it hurts. Practice this, and practice early: you’ll need it to survive enemies with more sensitive hearing later. Lightly press the left stick to sneak: if you can’t hear your footfalls, neither can they.

So, sneak up behind unaware undead or try and ghost past them entirely and avoid creating a dangerous congregation of ghouls. Some zombies are quicker to react than others though: if you can, run past on the opposite side they’re facing.Īside from shuffling after you if you’re in their line of sight, zombies will be alerted to loud noises nearby. Most of R.P.D’s corridors and rooms are wide enough to let you stay out of arm’s reach of the undead. With practice, you can weave round zombies. It’s okay to run and even better to sneak (In the original version, you had to switch between firing types in your inventory.)
RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE RACCOON LOCATIONS UPGRADE
When you get the three-shot upgrade for Leon’s Matilda handgun, you can still fire a single round by lightly pressing R2, pulling fully down on the trigger for a three-shot. Dodge where you can, make sure you’re aiming at the right spots when you can’t (see the next two sections for more). While ammo is more plentiful than the original game, it’s not limitless, so it’s still advisable to conserve bullets. There are very light spoilers ahead, and all are centered around the gameplay mechanics, either new or revamped for this release. To prepare you for your return to the world of survival horror, we’ve pulled together this handy guide, pointing out some of smaller but important details drawn up from our experiences on the streets of Raccoon City ahead of launch.
