Survival in Raccoon City is a constant struggle. Here are some fundamental tips:
- Conserve Ammo: Every shot counts. Aim for headshots to maximize damage and stun enemies. Avoid unnecessary engagements.
- Heal Wisely: Don't waste powerful healing items on minor damage. Combine herbs (Green + Green = 60% heal, Green + Red = Full heal, Green + Green + Green = Full heal) to optimize their use.
- Inventory Management: Jill has limited inventory slots. Prioritize weapons, ammo, and healing items. Store key items in item boxes once they've served their purpose. Don't carry items you don't immediately need.
- Item Boxes: These magical boxes are linked throughout the game. Deposit unneeded items to free up inventory space.
- Dodge Mechanic: A new feature in RE3, press R1 + X (or Square) just as an enemy attacks to perform a quick dodge. This can save you from damage and create openings for counter-attacks. Mastering this is crucial for Nemesis encounters.
Remember, sometimes running is the best option. Not every enemy needs to be defeated.
