Effective inventory management is paramount in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, as resources are often limited. You'll need to decide what to carry, what to store, and what to craft to maximize your chances of survival. Pressing D-Pad Up opens your inventory, where you can manage items, equip weapons, and combine components.
Inventory Slots:
Each character has a limited number of inventory slots. Healing items, ammunition, and sub-weapons all occupy a slot. Weapons, once equipped, do not take up additional slots, but you can only carry a few at a time. Prioritize carrying essential items like healing salves and ammunition for your primary weapons.
Crafting:
Crafting is a crucial mechanic for replenishing resources. You'll find various components throughout the game that can be combined to create useful items:
- Green Herb + Red Herb: Healing Salve (restores a significant amount of health)
- Alcohol + Cloth: Firebomb (incendiary grenade)
- Gunpowder + Empty Bottle: Explosive Bottle (grenade)
- Gunpowder + Empty Bottle + Cloth: Decoy Bottle (distracts enemies)
- Gunpowder + Empty Bottle + Alcohol: Smoke Bottle (creates a smoke screen)
Always be on the lookout for crafting components. They are often found in crates, barrels, and hidden corners. Crafting allows you to adapt to different combat situations and conserve valuable ammunition. Don't be afraid to experiment with combinations, but always prioritize healing items and ammunition for your most effective weapons.
