Learn how to defeat Lickers and Super Lickers in Resident Evil 2 (1998). Discover their weaknesses and recommended ammo counts.
Characteristics: Lickers are red, while Super Lickers are slightly green and tougher. They lack eyes and are highly sensitive to sound. Initially slow, they become violent and fast when enraged. Their attacks include scratching with their feet or using their tongue, both dealing significant damage. In a fury, they can leap and perform a head slice for greater damage. Their movement is accompanied by sounds from their feet and breathing.
Strategy: When you know Lickers are in the area, never run, as your sounds will enrage them and provoke heavy attacks. Use large-range weapons like the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher from a safe distance. It is crucial not to move while engaging them.
