Resident Evil 2 offers two distinct campaigns, one for Leon S. Kennedy and one for Claire Redfield. While the core story remains similar, their starting locations, available weapons, and encounters with certain characters differ significantly. Leon's campaign tends to focus more on firearms and direct combat, starting with a Handgun and later acquiring a Shotgun and Magnum. Claire's campaign often emphasizes evasion and features a Bowgun and Grenade Launcher, making her more versatile against different enemy types. Playing both campaigns (A and B scenarios) is essential to experience the full story and unlock all secrets. Choose your first character based on your preferred playstyle, but be prepared to play both!
