Alright, so you're trying to get through J's Bar and then make your way up the stairs to the next floor. This part of the game can be a bit tricky, especially when it comes to dealing with locked doors and knowing which weapons are best for the job.

Understanding the Door Breaking Chart:
Basically, the numbers you see in the table tell you how many times you need to hit a door with a weapon from that category to break it down. For instance, if you're using a Category 1 weapon, it'll take 18 hits on EASY difficulty, but a whopping 38 hits on VERY HARD. Notice how some weapons are listed under categories – this just gives you an idea of what kind of damage they do. If a weapon isn't listed for a specific category, it means it's not available or relevant for breaking doors in that context. For example, the Nail Gun isn't shown because you won't have it until after you've already passed the first locked door.
Keep this chart handy, especially when you're low on ammo or facing a tough door. Knowing which weapon to switch to can save you a lot of trouble!
