Learn how to dodge the Pincer Ooze's grab attack in Resident Evil: Revelations and the best weapons to use against it.

The Pincer Ooze in Resident Evil: Revelations has a distinct attack where it leans back before lunging forward with both arms, its tongue appendage hanging out of its mouth. This attack has a close range and can initiate a grab sequence if successful.

  • Ability to dodge
  • Ability to rapidly tap the Y button
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Observe the Pincer Ooze's attack pattern.
  2. 2
    When the Pincer Ooze leans back, indicating it's about to lunge, perform your dodge.
  3. 3
    If the Pincer Ooze successfully grabs you, immediately tap the Y button repeatedly to escape the grab sequence.

Recommended Weapons:

  • Handgun/Machine Gun: Effective from a distance, aim for the arms or legs. Be cautious and do not let the Pincer Ooze get too close.
  • Shotgun: The best choice for mid to close range. Use it when the Pincer Ooze is within these ranges, but be wary of its double claw slice from mid-range.
  • Rifle: Excellent for quickly damaging Pincer Oozes from long range, especially if handgun ammo is scarce early in Resident Evil: Revelations.
Tips
  • Timing your dodge precisely when the Pincer Ooze leans back is crucial to avoid its grab.
  • If you are caught in the grab sequence, rapid button input of Y is your only escape.
  • Consider weapon choice based on the Pincer Ooze's range and your current ammo situation.
