INVENTORY AND MAP (BOTTOM SCREEN)

Navigate Resident Evil: Revelations' bottom screen like a pro! Learn to manage weapons, use the scanner, read the mini-map, and access your item menu with this quick guide.

Alright, let's talk about the bottom screen in Resident Evil: Revelations – it's your best friend for managing your gear and keeping track of where you are. Think of it as your tactical display!

Main Weapons: Up top, you'll see your main guns. Tapping an unequipped weapon icon instantly swaps to it, so you can quickly grab your favorite pistol or shotgun. If you tap a weapon that's already equipped, guess what? It'll reload that bad boy. Handy, right?

Sub Weapons: Down the left side, you've got your sub-weapons. These are your grenades, knives, that sort of thing. Just tap the icon of the one you want, and it's equipped. Easy peasy.

The Scanner: Once you get your hands on the scanner, you'll see its icon here too. Tap it once to equip the scanner – essential for finding hidden stuff. Tap it again to put it away. Keep an eye on it!

Mini Map: This is crucial! The mini-map sits below your main weapons and to the right of your sub-weapons. That glowing blue circle? That's you! The cone in front of it shows which way you're looking. Use this constantly to figure out where you're going and what's around the corner. You can even control the main screen camera by touching and sliding your finger across the map – hold it in the center and drag slowly to get a better view of your surroundings. It’s a neat trick for spotting enemies or finding hidden paths.

The Menu: Over on the right side, you'll see a 'Menu' tab. Tap that, and you'll get access to three categories: Items, Ammo, and Files. Use the L and R buttons to flip between these tabs, and the circle pad to scroll through your collected goodies. Press the A button to get a closer look at any item. This is also where you can re-read all those important files you've found throughout the game, so don't forget to check it!
