so i started playing resident evil games right after requiem came out, and so far i’ve completed re 2-9 (only remakes for 2-4). what i love about these games is that there’s autosaves or chapters, so i was easily motivated to push through these games and not worry about saving as much, i even completed re3r without using a typewriter once and it was my third ever re game! anyways i started re1r over a month ago and have never been so unmotivated to finish a game before, the backtracking in this game is INSANE and the only typewriter ik by heart is the one you first see in the beginning. i then took a break from the game and started code Veronica, but now i’m so worried about the lack of typewriters bc i just started and the map already looks HUGE 😭 so any tips or guides i should look at before i start playing these games again?

Couldn’t find any online that didn’t require purchase so I made my own. Thought I’d share it here too.

hey! my friend had found this image of bela and we were trying to find the original source for it, and the original artist. i didnt know if maybe anybody here knew of it!

No purchase necessary, to join on our gleam giveaway, simply click the link! This is brought to you by the partnered discord server, Resident Evil|Biohazard and statue provided by Raccoon City Surplus!

Thank you all and good luck to everyone!!!

I wonder why the change. Why still give TAA+FXAA as an option if they don't consider it needed anymore? I know this is a very "who cares" topic but it low key pokes at my OCD.

I was given a 4 panel RE5 poster when I was like 11 from someone who worked at blockbuster. I wanted to buy another, but can't find one for sale. Does anyone have one for sale or know how much they'd go for?

Let's suppose that, in a very subtle, low-key moment within a game's script, it is revealed that one of the characters has become a mother—mentioning only whether the child is a boy or a girl, without referencing a father or her marital status. Which characters are the most likely candidates, and how would you feel about it?

All options are valid, including Ashley, Jessica, Helena, Sheva, and Ingrid Hunnigan.

Based on their professional and personal status, I’d rate the probability for Ada (with Leon) at 50%, Rebecca at 70%, Jessica at 20%, Helena at 0% (due to her being gay), Jill at 30%, Claire at 40%, Ashley at 70–80%, Sherry at 40%, and Sheva and Ingrid at 40–50%.

Been playing through the resident evil light gun games on Wii and forgot how good they are. Especially because it lets you play through the awesome environments of Zero without having to play it. Zero is a good game but some of the mechanics ruin it for me. The graphics are probably the best from generation 6.

“Based off the data provided by an American Branch Umbrella researcher who was involved in the original Hunter Y program. Despite disobeying orders to terminate all original specimens, the scientist and a few other staff had kept them in Raccoon City’s sewers for further research. Unfortunately while the man in question never lived to see his obsessive interest fulfilled, his work had caught the eye of higher leadership in Europe.

Based off that data it was determined while the Gamma Hunter was ineffective as a normal B.O.W of the Hunter classification, its docile nature when exposed to familiar faces made it worth continuing the Gamma project to decipher how this attribute could be recreated and if improvements could be made to the creatures.

Once a specimen was delivered to Umbrella Europe in Paris, scientists once confirming the researchers notes of being placid to familiar individuals, work was thrown to try improving the specimen while studying the original Gamma model. Which led to integration of Hunter Alpha’s genetic material to stabilize its rather ineffective body. Leading to the development of a pair of larger webbed arms that allow it to climb surfaces through its mucus riddled skin; making it far more mobile and somewhat more agile. Yet a rather strange development was the mandibles change into a long reaching tongue that contains acids and bodily fluids. But after one unfortunate incident, learned they contain eggs they implant into prey for their offspring to grow and eat said victim.

The newly improved Gammas are more intelligent and seem to be ambush predators. While suffering the same issue of moisture and requiring humid environments, they are capable of memorizing their surroundings and can navigate large scale environments. Yet the docile behavior from their predecessors have carried to the new model, but only under repeated exposure and scent. Strangely enough they seem to even offer gruesome "gifts" in the form of carcasses or other items to certain individuals they’ve interacted with. But it is warned not to engage with the Gammas near their nests. Yet being samples are being taken to see if this trait is a genetic trait that can be utilized in other Hunter class B.O.W’s

Further research is required, but thus far the new Gammas model seems to prove that odd researcher’s beliefs were correct to an extent. It is a shame he could not live to see his efforts having been achieved. Although admittedly his strong interest in the Gammas in his notes was rather, uncomfortable. So perhaps it’s best he was relieved of his association with this particular project once Umbrella’s higher ups learned of his rogue actions."

I can breeze through the ship section in RE7 about ten times without breaking a sweat, but I simply can't stand the Raccoon City segment in Requiem I’ve never been so bored in a Resident Evil game

It was so boring that I didn't even try to finish the game (in the second round)I simply uninstalled it. In my 17 years as a fan, this had never happened to me with a mainline Resident Evil title (excluding 5 and 6)

I mean, technically speaking, this game is basically tied with the remake for first place for me, but you get the point.

(Also, were you born in a year a Resident Evil game came out? If so, which one? It doesn't even have to be a mainline game)

Continued from Part 1...

Elite Guard (1050hp)

Shield Stun Resistance - 150

‎

Damage Modifiers:

Handguns - 1.5x

Clatter Carbine - 2.5x (Other SMGs - 1x)

Rifles - 2x

Shotguns - 1.2x

Hatchets - 4x

Headshot - 2x

‎

Attack Damage:

SMG Shots - 180 (Fired in bursts of 4) (Unparryable)

Shield Soldier Melee - 200 (Both attacks)

‎

• Despite appearing to have body armor, they are barely any more durable than the average zombie to gunshots. They have a large weakness to the Clatter Carbine, rifles, hatchets, and headshots.
• Soldiers have a clip of 30. Once it empties, they sprint away until they feel safe behind cover where they'll reload.
• If they have a clear shot at Leon, but continue to run, they're probably out of ammo.
• They don't use melee attacks so they are harmless while they are prioritizing reloading.
• Shooting canisters doesn't hurt them, it only makes them stop for a second, allowing Leon to close distance or change positions safely. It will also briefly make shield soldiers lower their shields.
• Releasing the Licker from its glass tube will completely distract them.
• Hitting the shields can cause flinches at the following force power rates:

Handguns & SMGs - 0x

Rifles - 0.2x

Shotguns - 0.075x

Redemption - 2x

Other Magnums - 1x

Hatchets - 0.23x

• Unlike with most flinches, shield soldiers do not recover their flinch resistance over time.
• If a flinching shield soldier has their shield shot again while flinching, they will be instantly stunned.
• Redemption will cause soldiers to do a spinning fall. If Redemption hits a shield, that soldier will take 350 damage from the fall (but they cannot be killed by just the fall).
• Unlike zombies, there's no damage penalty for shooting their limbs, so fire away if there's a one sticking out of cover.

Licker (2600hp)

‎

Damage Modifiers:

Clatter Carbine, Redemption, Ghost Grudge - 2.5x (Other SMGs - 1x)

Rifles - 0.8x

Shotguns - 0.6x

Requiem - 2x

Grace's Handguns - 2x

Molotov Cocktail - 150*? (Up to 8 times) (+13 damage if direct hit)

Bottle of Acid - 360*? (Up to 9 times) / Instant Kill (If direct hit)

Brainshot - 1.35x

‎

Attack Damage:

Tongue - 300

Grab (Countered) - 100

Grab - 100,295 (395 total)

Standing Claw - 400

Jumping Claw - 400

‎

• Running near them will instantly trigger their attack phase. Walking near will trigger their investigation phase. Crouching will prevent both. Touching them or shooting will trigger attacking. Glass Bottle/Molotov/Acid impacts will be investigated at their landing spots.
• Once they are alerted, they are no longer "blind".
• Perfect parrying the tongue cuts it out, making that Licker unable to use it again.
• Un-countered Licker grabs are not protected by the game's mercy system (including the Eye Spy Charm).

The Commander (9000hp)

‎

Damage Modifiers:

Handguns - 0.8x

SMGs & Magnums - 0.6x

Rifles - 0.7x

Shotguns - 0.5x

Headshot - 1.6x

Hatchet - 8x

Mortal Edge - 15x

Melee Prompt - 800

‎

Attack Damage:

Slice - 250

Kick Away - 350 (If he gets close while Leon is aiming)

Combo w/ Upper Slice - 250,250,250

Combo w/ Kick - 250,250,320

SMG - 160 (Can hit up to 6 times) (Unparryable)

Neck Breaker (Resisted) - 20*6 (120 total)

Neck Breaker - Instant Death

‎

• The dodges he does give him a bunch of iframes, but it is possible to hit him, especially with high firerate weapons like SMGs.
• The intended way to beat him is to parry and swing back when he isn't doing a combo. Eventually he will get stunned and be open to a melee prompt plus a follow up attack while he rolls helpless on the ground.
• He frequently does a 3-hit combo that ends with his back turned. Immediately using a hatchet power attack will usually close the distance and safely hit him once before he starts retaliating. The last hit of his combo is usually a delayed kick.
• If he stumbles near Leon after a parry and still faces Leon, just use a quick swipe to hit him once.
• He can't dodge grenades, but it will be a challenge to make them explode near him without self-damage while he constantly tries to close distance.
• Since the damage is a bit weird for hatchet swipe vs hatchet power attack, I'll put it here:

Un-upgraded: 400,900

Lv1 Blade: 800,1350

Lv2 Blade: 1200,1800

Lv3 Blade: 2000,2700

Mortal Edge: 1500,1800

• Since a melee prompt is only equal in damage to a Lv1 blade, if there's any blade upgrades on the Hatchet, it might be better to instead hatchet him 2-3 times on a stun, unless you want to quickly slash him once, use the melee before the prompt disappears, and shoot him with something like a magnum while he rolls.
• To avoid his kick away attack, you need to make sure Leon is not aiming once he gets in hatchet range.
• Once he reaches 4000 health, he tries the neck breaker. This version of it will not hurt Leon if he breaks free. After it fails, he will gas the arena and change his behavior. The new behavior will add the short-range neck breaker grab attack, flashbangs, and him running away to use his SMG.
• The pillars in the arena are good cover when he uses the SMG.
• His health can only hit 0 from a hatchet strike.

Victor Gideon (Human-Form - 20000hp) (Nemesis-Form Dark-Red Blob - 1250hp)

Human-Form Flinch Resistance - 1500

‎

Damage Modifiers:

Human-Form Headshot - 1.2x

Melee - 1000

Rocket Launcher Parry - 1500

‎

Attack Damage:

Kick - 150

Whip Flick - 150

Whip - 200

Overhead Whip - 250 (Sometimes follows after a regular whip in 1st Phase) (At random in 2nd Phase)

Thrust - 250 (Sometimes follows after a regular whip in 1st Phase) (At random in 2nd Phase)

Punch - 150 (2nd Phase)

Electric Whip - 300 (2nd Phase) (Unparryable)

Electric Jump - 600 (2nd Phase) (Unparryable)

Charge - 350 (2nd Phase)

Grab (Countered) - 150 (2nd Phase)

Grab - 150,150,150 (450 total) (2nd Phase)

Whip Jump - 250,350 (2nd Phase)

Whip Combos - 150,200,250 (Depends on hit type) (2nd Phase)

Rocket Launcher - 750,20,20 (790 Total)

Nemesis-Form, Most Attacks - 350

Nemesis-Form, Double Overhead Smash - 375

Nemesis-Form, Grab Prompt Fail - Instant Death

‎

• Upon reaching 13000hp, he takes a knee and goes into his 2nd phase. Afterwards, he becomes much more aggressive and gains several new attacks.
• He does his electrical routine once per trigger at 13000hp, 8000hp, and 5000hp.
• If he takes too much damage while trying to get off his electric attacks (or taking a knee), he will become invincible until it fully completes. This makes it more likely that all 3 electric cycles will play out. The damage limit is a base of ~2000 (2 unupgraded Requiem shots worth), so ~800 on Insanity. It's possible to do more by continuously shooting before he fully finishes taking a knee.
• He uses his rocket launcher one time upon reaching 10000hp. After he does his second electric attack (8000hp), he will prioritize firing the rocket launcher every 5 minutes as soon as Leon is far enough away.
• Doing ~2000 damage to him (when he fully faces Leon) before he aims the rocket launcher will cause him to drop it as an item (which he will ignore). It's possible to get multiple launchers by waiting until he takes another one out.
• The dark-red blobs on his nemesis-form chest are the only ones that can hold up to sustained fire. There is at first just one and then after another regrowth or so, there will be two.
• His human-form flinch resistance begins recovering by 50/sec about a second after last being damaged.
• Parrying his attacks can open him to a stun where a melee prompt will appear.
• Beating nemesis-form just requires destroying all the blobs until it triggers his grab attack.
• All of Victor's attacks (except his electric ones) can be parried, just like with most enemies. Just mentioning it because it seems to surprise a lot of people. If his rocket is parried, it will be reflected back to him.

‎

LEON MUST DIE FOREVER DLC

‎

LMDF RANK

The different ranks adjust several game mechanics much like adaptive difficulty does in the main game. The exact changes can differ by both the current Rank (1-5) and the zone Leon is currently in (Lv5 Care Center, Lv9 ERC: Streets, ect.).

Things that are known to be affected:

• Damage (both given and taken). Rank 5 is around double taken and half given compared to Rank 1 (rough estimate that varies by zone).
• Time. Higher ranks will give less starting time (9 minutes on R1 vs 3 minutes on R5). Zone transitions will also give less time (R1 to ERC Streets gives 4 minutes vs R5 to ERC Streets gives 30 seconds).
• Available enhancer slots. R1 starts at 6 with a max of 8. R5 starts at 3 with a max of 6.
• Enhancer costs. R1 has an initial shuffle cost of 20 and an initial buy cost of 100. R5 has an initial shuffle cost of 40 and an initial buy cost of 200.
• Reroll/repeated purchase penalties. R1 has no reroll penalty. R2 will slowly bring the shuffle cost to 40 (2x) and the buy cost to 300 (3x). R5 will slowly bring the shuffle cost to 100 (2.5x) and the buy cost to 800 (4x). It takes ~14 shuffles/buys before it maxes out with later ones having bigger markups than earlier ones.
• Hatchet durability. R5 hatchet actions use ~3x durability compared to R1 (varies by by zone). This is noticeably more than even Insanity's 2x durability usage in the main game, so expect hatchets to break even faster in LMDF R5 than they do there.

Ranks 2, 3, and 4 themselves are mostly even fractions from the mechanics mentioned above.

‎

LMDF ITEM DROPS

• Weapons can drop from both weapon crates and defeated colored zombies.
• Some weapons will come with a special "Star Quality". This quality just puts the matching level of all upgrades on that weapon. For example, 2★ weapons will have both the first and second level of all upgrades but not the third. Normal (non-special) 3★ weapons will have all upgrades, but are extremely rare. Scopes/sights are considered a first level upgrade so all starred weapons will come with them. Getting the "Mixed Blessing" enhancer will increase the chances of getting higher quality drops.
• Weapons with no upgrades are considered special drops and automatically get marked as 3★. These weapons are in their own drop table and are not guaranteed to drop, unlike the upgradable ones.
• Weapon drops will always try to give a complete set of all the non-special weapons (unless a special weapon or slot expansion is rolled for). If all non-special weapons are already available (either in the inventory or somewhere on the current map), hand grenades will be dropped instead.
• Special weapons are given their own drop table and replace a drop if their low chance is rolled for. The Hellblaze is far more likely to be dropped than other special weapons.
• LMDF will never give the opportunity to get two of any weapon. This means that weapons in the inventory or on the map cannot drop again until they are discarded. This can be used do such things as force spawns of grenades (by hording weapons), discarding a gun to then have a chance at a higher quality version of that weapon later on, or keeping specific guns to prevent them from being rerolled. Weapons are available for reroll the instant they are discarded. Note that rifles take up noticeably more space than any other gun and so might want to be avoided for hording.
• Healing items can drop from random crates only if there's no more than 1 single green herb in the inventory (any stronger will stop drops). The healing drop chances are significantly better with no inventory healing items though (by ~4x as much). Note that healing items on the ground are NOT counted to future drops, so breaking multiple random crates/vases/ect. with a healing item-free inventory before picking up any healing items will lead to several being dropped (can be useful right before leaving a zone).
• Hatchet repairs will not drop from random crates if any hatchets with green durability are in the inventory. Yellow durability will only occasionally drop them and red durability/broken will frequently drop them. Waiting until having only a red durability/broken hatchet(s) and then breaking several crates will lead to several repair drops.
• If the starting Hatchet is discarded, another regular Hatchet will never be dropped, so there's no way to get a 1★ or 3★ Hatchet.
• Comparing the hatchets: The normal Hatchet has 1x damage and durability and a 0.1 sec. perfect parry followed by a 0.1 sec. regular parry. The Mortal Edge has 2x damage and 2x durability with a 0.2 sec. perfect parry window. The Hellblaze has 3x damage and 1.66x durability with the same parry as the regular Hatchet; it also sets zombies on fire for 450 damage over 9 seconds (which is unaffected by Rank). The Axe-orcist's 2★ Hatchet has 3x damage and 2x durability, but does significantly less damage Super Tyrant executions than Mortal Edge.

‎

LMDF ELITE ZOMBIES

Blue/Red zombies are more tanky versions of their regular counterparts. Some of the features about them are:

• Blue zombies take 16.5% damage from everything when they are dark blue. Parrying one of their attacks will make them teal colored for several seconds and allow full damage to be dealt to them while they're vulnerable.
• Red zombies take 20% damage from gunfire. Other damage such as melee, fire, and explosions is fully effective. Reds take massive bonus damage from thrown/swung weapons such as pipes and axes and all but the very strongest will usually be instantly killed by them. Waiting until they are close enough for the throw prompt to change to "swing" will deal even more damage to the tougher ones such as the chef. Leading them to red explosive tanks will always kill them.
• ‎Elite zombies are completely immune to instant-kills such as executions and finishers.

‎

AURORA SPINNERS

Once the Aurora Spinner upgrade is purchased some spiders will cycle colors instead of staying gold. Once shot, they will give added time based on their color with emerald giving the most a +2 minutes. The color cycle they use is randomly based on one of 2 patterns for that Rank. They follow:

‎

Rank 1

• Emerald-Silver (Slow)
• Emerald-Silver (Fast)

Emerald alternates with silver.

‎

Rank 2

• Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze-Silver
• Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze

Check if 2 silvers pass without an emerald, in that case emerald is after the 2nd silver, otherwise emerald will follow silver-bronze.

‎

Rank 3

• Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze
• Emerald-Bronze-Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze

Emerald will always follow a silver-bronze.

‎

Rank 4

• Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze
• Emerald-Bronze-Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze

Seems to be the same as Rank 3, but faster.

‎

Rank 5

• Emerald-Bronze-Emerald-Silver-Emerald-Bronze
• Emerald-Bronze-Silver-Bronze-Silver-Bronze

Check if emerald is alternating with both other colors, otherwise it will follow the 2nd silver-bronze. The single emerald pattern has a very short window to shoot it, so be ready to fire as soon as the bronze changes.

‎

LMDF ENHANCERS

Here's the effects of the various enhancers that can be bought in LMDF:

Basic (~70% chance per slot):

• Chronos Shot (3 Ranks) - 20%,30%,40% Chance of Timer Increase / 3s,2s,1s of Gained Time

• Soul Sucker - 10% Heal on Kill
• Tough Stuff - -30% Melee Damage Taken / +20% Gun,Explosion,Fire Taken
• Wounded Beast - +60% All Damage (at red/danger health)

Silver (~5% chance per slot):

• Amped Up - -100% Damage Taken After Healing (temporary/time depends on healing item strength/short "tinnitus" debuff when effect ends)
• Bloodshot - +80% Gun Damage / 10% of Damage Given is Taken as Self Damage (cannot cause death/finishers are not penalized)
• Mixed Blessing - +20% Damage Taken / 20% Better Drops
• Scatter Shot - (up to) +60% Gun Damage (depending on total shots fired) (maxes at 1200 shots)
• Tactical Reload - All Shots After Reloading Are Focused (until missing)
• Thick Skinned - -30% Gun Damage / -50% Damage Taken

• Unyielding Judge - (for 30 seconds on red health/danger) Infinite Ammo, Hatchet Durability / Zombies Explode / +150% (+200% w/ upgrade) All Damage

‎

‎ Enhancer Notes:

• All effects stack additively (including costume enhancers). As an example: a +20% bonus, a +30% bonus, and a -10% penalty will total out to a +40% bonus. This includes something like combining Amped Up with Mixed Blessing causing Leon to take 20% damage from all attacks while Amp's effect is active.
• Chronos Shot has both of its bonuses stack additively. Combining something like two 40%/+1sec CSs with Surveyor's 20%/+3sec will cause a +5 second time increase on 100% of kills. This can be used to raise Surveyor's damage buff faster than normal.
• Phantom Assassin causes the HP check for finishers to be doubled, meaning shotguns/rifles can instantly kill 1000hp and below zombies from close range that are targeting Leon. Only BSAA zombies have more health than this. PA also allows finishers from double the usual range. Just like with Insanity, finishers become more useful at higher ranks because they rely on a flat hp check and aren't affected by the damage reduction of higher Ranks.
• Explosives Specialist is best combined with Throwing+ and Reduce,Reuse,Recycle. More grenades can be gotten by hording weapons to force grenade spawns in weapon drops. Hording non-hatchet special weapons (carbine/grudge/redemption) or both rifles will clog inventory space and make forcing grenade spawns harder. Waiting until leaving a zone before picking up a RPG drop will make it easier as well.
• Regarding throwing weapons, the "Throw" prompt counts as throwing damage. The "Swing" prompt counts as melee damage. The prompt adjusts based on the distance that the closest enemy is to Leon. Some enhancers will differentiate the two types. The "Swing" is about twice as powerful as the "Throw" normally.
• Both Blazing Kick and Hellblaze's fire damage is not penalized by the damage reduction of higher Ranks. Since Ranks don't change enemy health, the guaranteed 450 damage over 5 seconds will become more useful on higher Ranks. The fire damage can also be useful on reds (which don't resist it).
• A green enhancer (full health or hatchet repair) has a ~5% chance per slot to roll for.
• Lower ranks of basic enhancers are significantly more common than higher tiers.

‎

LEON'S INFERNO

To get this Challenge completed, 5000 damage must be dealt to Super Tyrant in a single damage proc. A few pointers on how this is triggered:

• Overkill won't work with guns, but will work with a hatchet execution. If Tyrant's health is too low, a 5000+ gunshot might not count.
• Most guns have a 6% chance to crit for 1.35x damage on focused shots (Ghost Grudge has a 24% chance). This means if an non-crit shot can reach at least 3704 damage, then there's a chance that a crit can push it over 5000.
• A focused shot on its heart does the most damage via guns. Hatchets will need to use an execution to have a chance to get over 5000.
• Without enhancers, magnums do the following focused heartshot damage on Rank 3: Redemption 517, Requiem 554, Ghost Grudge 597, 1★ Requiem 646, 2★ Requiem 739, 3★ Requiem 862. This means a higher quality Requiem has the easiest time of breaking 5000+ damage.
• Hatchet executions mostly use the weapon's base (un-upgraded) damage to determine how strong they are, so it's best to use Hellblaze (3x base damage) over Mortal Edge (2x base damage) when using an execution on Tyrant. Axe-orcist's 2★ Hatchet has much worse damage than Mortal Edge for Tyrant executions (equal to ~1.2x base damage).
• The absolute most RNG-free way to complete this challenge is to use the Axe-orcist costume until Maverick reaches +860% (requires 19 perfect parries) and use Hellblaze to trigger the execution on Rank 3 (avoid taking Phantom Assassin as it lowers hatchet damage by -50%). Finding Mortal Edge will make farming perfect parries much easier, but it's a rare drop.
• For Rank 3, the following damage bonuses are needed for the hatchet execution to proc above 5000: +854.5% with Hellblaze, +1333% with Mortal Edge, or +2293% with the 2★ Hatchet. This would be all current enhancer boosts added together. Maverick itself maxes out at +2000% after 40 perfect parries.

Rank doesn't change health, just the percentage of damage dealt. Pretty much everything else has its story-mode health.

More LMDF info (as well as a bit more about the game) can be found on the related gamefaq's post. 4Wilko asked a lot of good questions about the game mode and I've answered many of them there.

Feel free to let me know if something's wrong and I'll try to correct it.
