Ethan Winters is your playable character, a civilian thrust into a nightmare. He starts with no combat experience, emphasizing the survival horror aspect. His 'build' is defined by your inventory management. Focus on carrying a balanced loadout: a primary weapon (Shotgun/Grenade Launcher), a secondary (Handgun), plenty of ammo, and 2-3 healing items. Prioritize upgrades like the Stabilizer and Defense Coin to enhance his survivability and combat effectiveness.
