Oil Barrel Stacks

Your guide to the Oil Field - Drilling Facilities in Resident Evil 5's Chapter 3-3. Learn about enemies, items, and how to get past the gates with Chris and Sheva.

Alright, let's tackle the Oil Field - Drilling Facilities in Chapter 3-3 of Resident Evil 5. You'll start off on a boat with Josh Stone, and immediately you've got two boats full of Majini chasing you. Keep an eye out for those big red gas containers scattered around – shooting them is a great way to take out any Majini carrying bows or dynamite. It's a nice little breather before things get more intense. Eventually, you'll reach a closed gate. You'll need to get off the boat to find the switch to open it. While you're there, check the underside of the platform behind the gate for a hidden B.S.A.A. Emblem. This area also has a few Majini, some Kipepeo, three barrels, and a pack of 15 Handgun ammo. Once you flip the switch, more Majini and two Kipepeo will show up, so be ready. After that, hop back on the boat, and Josh will drive you to the next section. A checkpoint will trigger here, so you're safe for a moment. Now, for the next part, you'll need to be quick! Josh will stop the boat again at another closed gate. You'll have to use the 'Duck' command during a quick time event to avoid some pipes swinging your way. Once you're past that, you'll need to press two switches at the same time to open the next gate. Before you do that, though, let's grab some supplies. Right where you get off the boat, there are two barrels, a pack of 15 Handgun ammo, a pack of 10 Rifle ammo, and a Green Herb nearby. Once you get to the small wall, get ready – a bunch of Majini will pour out from the cabin above the gate and man the gatling guns. Use the 'Against wall' command to take cover and peek out when you need to shoot. There's a Transformer on the left that you can shoot down to damage any Majini that jump down. Keep heading left towards the switch, and you'll find a door. Inside, there are two more barrels and a pack of 10 Shotgun shells. Climb up the ladder, and you'll find one barrel and another Green Herb. Inside the cabin, there's another barrel and an Emerald (Marquise) hidden away in a cabinet. On the other side of that area, you'll find two more barrels. Over on the right side, keep an eye out for two barrels, a Red Herb, a pack of 50 Machine gun ammo on the tires, and another pack of 15 Handgun ammo on the sandbags. In the back area, on the jetty to the far right, there's a barrel that can sometimes contain Magnum ammo, and a Sapphire (Pear) right next to it. On the left side, there's a small shack. Inside, you'll find a pack of 10 Shotgun shells, a pack of 50 Machine gun ammo, a pack of 15 Handgun ammo, a First Aid Spray, and one more barrel. Next to the cabin is another barrel and a suitcase containing the M3 (SG) shotgun. Grab everything you can! Once you've got the switches pulled and the gate opens, expect another wave of Majini and Kipepeo. After that, you'll get back on the boat, and Josh will drive you into the next area, the Patrol Boat. Good job getting through this part!
