Learn how to effectively use the 'Front Attack' mechanic in Resident Evil: Revelations to gain an advantage in combat and unlock special rewards. Master this technique to overcome your enemies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The 'Front Attack' is performed by using a melee attack when an enemy is staggered or vulnerable.
  2. 2
    This can be triggered by shooting an enemy's weak point, such as their head, or by successfully dodging an incoming attack.
  3. 3
    Once an enemy is staggered, approach them quickly and press the melee button (default is 'B' on Xbox controllers) to execute the 'Front Attack'.
  4. 4
    A successful 'Front Attack' will often result in a powerful finishing move or a significant amount of damage, depending on the enemy.
  5. 5
    Utilize the 'Front Attack' to conserve ammunition and deal with tougher enemies more effectively.
Tips
  • Listen for audio cues that indicate an enemy is vulnerable to a 'Front Attack'.
  • Practice the timing of your dodges to create more opportunities for melee attacks.
  • Be aware of your surroundings; some 'Front Attacks' can leave you open to other enemies if not performed strategically.
  • Experiment with different weapons to see which ones complement your melee attacks best.
  • Certain enemies may have specific vulnerabilities that make them easier to stagger for a 'Front Attack'.
