Learn about the Anti-Virus item in Resident Evil Outbreak and Outbreak File #2. Discover its restorative values, crafting recipes, and effects on the Viral Gauge.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Resident Evil Outbreak and wondering about the Anti-Virus? It's a pretty crucial item, especially when things get tough. Let's break it down. There are two types: the standard Anti Virus and the Anti-Virus (L). The regular one is in both *Resident Evil Outbreak* and *Resident Evil Outbreak File #2*, but the (L) version is exclusive to the first *Outbreak* game. They're both healing items designed to help you out. Think of them as temporary shields against the virus. The small one stops the virus's growth for about 90 seconds (1 minute and 30 seconds), while the large one gives you a longer reprieve of 180 seconds (3 minutes). This is super helpful for managing your Viral Gauge, especially on higher difficulties. Now, how do you get them? You can craft them using herbs and George's Medical Set. For the Anti Virus (Small), you'll need a Green Herb + Blue Herb in *File #1*, or Green Herbs (x2) + Blue Herb in *File #2*. To make the Anti Virus (Large), you'll need a Green Herb + Red Herb + Blue Herb in *File #1*. In *File #2*, that same herb combo will actually net you three small Anti-Viruses instead of one large one, so keep that in mind! Just a heads-up, the source text mentions that the Anti-Virus (L) is *only* found in Very Hard mode. So, if you're playing on Very Hard, make sure to keep an eye out for it – it's a lifesaver! Also, if you're feeling brave and want to use them offensively, the Anti Virus (Small) can deal 1000HP damage if shot at an enemy with the Ampule Shooter. Pretty neat, huh?
