Master Hell Mode in Resident Evil: Revelations with tips on weapon upgrades, ammo conservation, and finding exclusive Hell Mode ammo cases.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use the Government Handgun with Damage (highest level), Long Magazine (highest level), and Burst 3 upgrades as your primary long-distance weapon for normal Ooze. Aim to kill enemies with the first 5-shot burst to conserve ammo, which is plentiful.
  2. 2
    Carry the Hydra shotgun for close-range encounters with aggressive Ooze enemies. Equip it with Charge Shot 3 for a charged shot that can knock down all Ooze.
  3. 3
    Carry the PSG-1 rifle to conserve handgun ammo by engaging normal Ooze from long range. Both handgun and rifle ammo are frequently found early in the game.
  4. 4
    If Jill does not need a green herb, leave it in an area and remember its location for later retrieval.
  5. 5
    Do not waste a green herb solely because Jill has 100% scan on her Genesis scanner (a device used to scan enemies and items). Hold onto the green herb credit in the scanner and walk around with 100% scan. Higher scan percentages carry over between characters (Jill, Keith, Chris, and Parker).
  6. 6
    If Jill needs extra health and lacks green herbs, try scanning enemies as they attack.
  7. 7
    Conserve machine gun ammo. Carry it with Jill if she is running low, as scans can yield more machine gun ammo. Only use machine gun ammo extensively during the fight with Rachel in Episode 4. Jill requires FULL machine gun ammo for the Final Form Abyss in Episode 12.
  8. 8
    The PSG-1 rifle is effective against the first Scagdead in Episode 3 and the Draghignazzo boss in Episode 6. Rifle ammo is generally available, so extensive conservation is not always necessary early on.
  9. 9
    Conserve the majority of your magnum ammo for the Malacoda boss in Episode 11. The magnum helps damage and destroy its tentacles, reducing reliance on rocket launchers. The magnum is less useful for the final battle.
  10. 10
    Save the majority of your shock grenades for Episodes 8 and 9, as Scarmigliones are very weak to them.
Tips
  • The Government Handgun's Burst 3 fire can waste ammo, but handgun ammo is plentiful.
  • A fully charged shot from the Hydra shotgun with Charge Shot 3 can knock down all Ooze.
  • Scanning enemies frequently can lead to lower percentages for already scanned enemies, impacting herb recovery.
  • 100% scans carry over between characters, ensuring each starts with the same scan percentage.
  • Conserving machine gun ammo is crucial for Episode 12's Final Form Abyss.
  • Magnum ammo is best saved for the Malacoda boss in Episode 11.
  • Shock grenades are highly effective against Scarmigliones in Episodes 8 and 9.

Hell Mode Ammo Cases:

The following ammo cases are exclusive to Hell Mode difficulty and cannot be found in any other difficulty playthrough for Campaign.

Magnum Ammo Case: Scan the spike in the growth off to the left after stepping out of the pool on the opposite side of the Solarium. Ensure the pumps in the Solarium's control room are turned on during Episode 3 to cleanse the pool by Episode 4. This case is found in Episode 4 / Scenario 1.
