Resident Evil 2: 5 Beginner Tips to Survive the RPD

#2.Shoot Zombies in the legs.

RE 2

RE 2 has a weird mechanic when it comes to shooting zombies. Some of them die in one headshot while others take shockingly 3 to 5 bullets to take down and in worst cases, more.

However, something that always seems to work for me was shooting them in the legs. Putting two bullets down the same leg won't necessarily kill them all the time but at least they won't keep running towards you now and that's good enough. Although don't go trampling them or they will bite your legs this time and that ain't pretty my friend.

#3. Get the Shotgun.

RE 2

Getting the shotgun as quickly as possible is the most important thing you'll do in the game.

Aside from your handy pistol, Shotgun will your main weapon when it comes to taking down lickers( the scariest and quickest of them all) as well as during the boss battles.

Now getting that ain't an easy job but don't worry I got you covered.

The Shotgun can be found in the Safety Deposit room of the game which mind you requires a weapon's locker key card to open. To get this keycard you need to get something first and that's a spade key. This key can be found on the third floor of the west side of the building.

The Spade key will open up a pathway( a shortcut) on the same side of the building but on the 2nd floor that will lead you right to the Art Room. This is where you'll find the keycard for that Safety Deposit room. Enjoy!
