Learn how to shoot stunned enemies up close in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, avoiding the melee prompt to maximize shotgun damage on Super Salvador.

  • Type A controls enabled.
  • A stun-able enemy (e.g., Super Salvador).
  • A shotgun (recommended for maximum damage).
  • Hand grenade (optional, for stunning).
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When an enemy, such as a boss, is stunned, you may get a melee prompt when you get close, preventing you from shooting.
  2. 2
    To avoid this with Type A controls, hold the aiming button and aim toward the stunned enemy.
  3. 3
    Then, hold the strafe button (L) to lock your aim onto the enemy.
  4. 4
    Move toward the enemy while holding the strafe button and begin firing.
  5. 5
    The melee button prompt will not appear until you release the strafing button.
  6. 6
    This technique is ideal for dealing extra damage with a shotgun to Super Salvador while he is stunned.
  7. 7
    A player can toss a hand grenade to stun Super Salvador, then walk toward him while holding the L + R buttons and blast him with the shotgun from close range.
Tips
  • Shotguns deal maximum damage only from close range, making this technique particularly effective.
  • This method allows you to get extra damage in on Super Salvador with a shotgun while he is stunned.
