Does anyone know if I were to buy the DLC with the infinite ammo pistol would it go into the item chest of a game already in progress?
Persevere! The satisfaction will be worth it in the end.Decided to start Scenario B with Leon. Damn, why didn't anybody tell me that Scenario B is even harder? I thought Claire A was hard on Hardcore Mode, but in B Zombies put you in Danger state after one bite and fucking zombies follow you around like Mr. X. I was by the locker room and saw a zombie doing somethi9ng by the vending machine and he didn't notice me, but after I went in the locker room like 30 seconds later I heard a pounding on the door and the same zombie from before burst in. Also, two other zombies burst into a room from out of nowhere while I was busy shooting another one.
I don't know if I can do this. Might start over and switch to Standard. I thought I could deal since I did claire on Hardcore, but 1-Danger bites and stalker zombies? Hell, No!
I hope so. Now, I have Mr. X following me around and I'm getting frustrated again.
Playing this for the first time on Leon's side. Uhhh Is there anyway to get Mr. X off my ass?
Ok thanks!-He zeroes in on your location if you run, walk as much as you can when he loses sight of you.
-He will come for you if he hears you shoot or if you pick up a key item.
-He can't enter save rooms (like the one under the stairs in the police station). Iirc he also can't enter the STARS office or the clock tower.

Slight corrections/additions to the above post. Mr. X will only hear the player run if both are very near each other. If the player is in a different room, they can run just fine. Also, the game forces Mr. X upon the player after they grab a key item only once in the game, for a specific item in a specific room. The player can also use the knife freely. A single shot from any firearm will trigger Mr. X gunning for the player instantly; that said, you can avoid that by using the silencer if you play with Claire.-He zeroes in on your location if you run, walk as much as you can when he loses sight of you.

I'm playing Leon B and I finally made it to G1 Burkin, but I keep running out of ammo. I don't think I'm able to beat this game now. Am I just going to have to restart my playthrough? I really don't feel like it.

You musta messed up really badly to be truly out of ammo.
What happened?
This game does this crazy thing where it constantly feels tougher than it actually is. Every single time I've played it I've gone through the same song and dance of "do I have too little ammo?" and "do I have way too much ammo?" depending which part I'm at or how good/bad I did at a certain part.
Are you sure you don't just think you're out of ammo?
How much do you have on you/in the chest?
Do you have a knife or two? They really rip through him.
Even better if you have some stun grenades so you can stun him and just slash away.
Do you not have a knife? Even one will shave a lot of his health off.
I do not have a knife and the ammo in the arena is not enough.Do you not have a knife? Even one will shave a lot of his health off.
Right at the start of the fight he has this long animation before he actually starts attacking you. Slashing away at him with the knife during this animation will cause him to crumple. That's a lot of free damage without a bullet spent.
Also, have you tried running around the boss area? There should be quite bit of ammo, herbs etc. laying around in the area.

This I did not know. I figured it would be super weak against him. That's crazy.

The 5 shooter? It can be upgraded to a magnum like weapon later.I finally completed Leon's side yesterday and enjoyed it. Boy am I glad they didn't remaster the big ass spiders from the original. I'm doing Claire's right now. Is there any point to her starter pistol? (the one that starts you off with only 3 bullets)
Ah ok, thanks.The 5 shooter? It can be upgraded to a magnum like weapon later.
I got through it. I had to go back and get the Lightning Hawk which wasn't easy. The main hall was full of zombies and Mr. X, but I gamed Mr.X by going down the stairs and back up to make him disappear, but still dodging 5 zombies in the main hall and the other parts of the police station without shooting wasn't easy. Now I'm supposed to be getting the electronic parts with Leon and I'm back to having no ammo again and now the police station has even more zombies and lickers in it. Plus, I don't see where I'm supposed to get the crank for the library so I can get the belltower electronic piece. Only got the one from the morgue so far or wherever I got the first one.
Super X is giving me trouble, like how do I dodge his charge attack?
Congrats on finishing it. If you're interested, there are some good guides on YouTube that can get you an S+ rank if you follow them closely. I used the "Everymans Guides" for Leon and Claire Harcore S+ rank by a guy called The Darkness and had time to spare at the end of each. He explains things well and gives time checks throughout the guide that let you know if you're on pace for S+.Looked up on YouTube and apparently flash grenades and grenades stop his charge. Managed to beat him and the game. Now I've successfully beaten the game twice on hardcore both times at that! Wish I could've gotten S+ rank though so I could get that Infinite Rocket Launcher.
That's actually who I was looking up whenever I got stuck on a part. Won't be doing another run anytimne soon, though it took me way too long to do both of those runs.Congrats on finishing it.

Also remember that only pausing the game stops the clock. Time spent in your inventory or viewing the map does not. And no infinite weapons except for the infinite knife.
You can totally go back at a later stage. There's a direct line back up through a later area.Hoping someone can help - I'd go through the whole thread but I don't want to accidentally spoil myself. I've just got the key card to escape the station and I've stumbled upon the gun shop with the guy and young girl. But I've got a few rooms left to do in the police station itself. Can I go back and sort them out, and will Mr X show up again to stop me from doing this?
I don't remember if Mr. X is still active at this point, but if you want to avoid spoilers all I'll say is that you're not at a point of no return if what you're worried about is missing stuff.Hoping someone can help - I'd go through the whole thread but I don't want to accidentally spoil myself.

You'll find the way to progress on the 2nd floor of the east wing
There's shutter you can open with the crank handle
How long will a first playthrough take me if I've forgotten everything about RE2?

Cracking into this for the first time tonight (also my first foray into RE2 as a whole, other than watching vids). Very excited.
I am literally in the save room now just before Mr. X shows up and I... think I live here now.
