The Knife As a Basic and Universal Weapon

Knives are said to be an important tool and are used to destroy things in this game.

Understand Weapon Use

As a player, you also need to know the basic weapons used in combat that can save you from enemies.

So, you also need to know their functions and you need to get used to using all of these weapons.

For example, a Shotgun for close range shooting. Meanwhile, the rifle is for long distance shooting.

Shoot Your Enemies

By shooting, you can also stun your enemy. But, if you shoot them at their feet, they won't be able to fight you so they won't be able to chase you.

Analyze the Enemy's Strengths and Weaknesses

You need to see the weaknesses and strengths of the enemy you will face, so you can fight him easily.

Sniper Rifle

You can Zoom to see the shooting target, this also helps you to shoot your enemy at a certain point.

Automatic Weapons

Automatic weapons will also function when facing enemies there, such as the TMP which will release ammunition when facing weak enemies.

Red Barells

Well, these Red Barrels will explode if fired like a bomb. Of course, don't just throw it anywhere because you're afraid it will become a target.

Grenade Granado

This grenade is TNT, which will explode when shot towards an object or enemy.

Kick the Door

If you press the Action button twice on your gaming platform, your character will kick the door and if there is another character or enemy behind it, they will be temporarily STUNned.

Formulate a Strategy

Of course, before attacking, you need to develop a strategy first so that your attack can be right on target.

Save weapons that are strong enough to fight strong enemies and save your energy so that it doesn't run out in critical battles.

Alternative Healing

In the previous Resident Evil game series, this healing could be done using herbs.

But, here you only eat foods such as eggs and fish to maintain your health condition.
