Resident Evil 2 Remake - Guide to Understanding When Zombies Died (Permanently)

From the day of its release Resident Evil 2 Remake was warmly received by fans and not of the genre and the saga. With today's guide we will focus on one aspect of the title that Capcom seems to get very expensive. In fact, wandering around Racoon city, it is possible to run into "traps" set by zombies that seem dead but instead are more than alive (so to speak).

Obviously it is very annoying to meet undead who just hear ours coming Leon, or ours Clear, they stand up and begin to insistently ask to be drilled with bullets (which just at that moment are missing in our inventory). In this regard, below, you will find useful tips to avoid finding yourself in this uncomfortable situation, or at least to know how to best deal with it.

Before continuing we remind you that for much more information on Resident Evil 2 Remake you can take a look at all our guides available and at your complete disposal, present on our site.

We continue with the guide.

Use your brain and knife in this order

As you will surely imagine, during a zombie crisis there is who knows how long to look for bullets around, so it is important to preserve the few hits that Raccoon City makes us available. Fortunately the RPD he usually equips his agents with a useful knife. With the latter it will be easier to discover the zombies lying on the ground taking a nap, in fact, hitting a suspicious body it will rise (if it is a case of the kind mentioned above).

However, it is wise not to overdo the use of the knife, as it will be slightly damaged with each stroke, so it is not recommended to wander the streets of the quaint town to stab anything that is just slightly out of place. In short, use the knife, but with the due criteria, a broken blade will not be of much use in the event of an attack.

Aim for the head, and when in doubt do it to blow up

If there is a really effective method to tell if a zombie is dead or undead it is definitely to blow his head (it goes without saying that this, in addition to being an obvious method, is also picturesque and fun). To be able to master this style of collateral there are three main methods:

A precise (or lucky) stroke: As we have repeatedly said, wasting bullets on Resident Evil 2 Remake it's not the best of ideas, so it's good to train a bit with headshots, perhaps using the "sleeping" zombies as targets for practice. Making sure a zombie mind is easy if his head does POP then there is no need to worry, if instead he stands up he is obviously one of those who like to joke.

A combo of headshots: Staying on the "heads" theme, a great way to make sure that a zombie stays with his face firmly planted on the ground, is definitely to make his head a pasta drainer with a real rain of headshots. Unfortunately, however, the zombies of Raccoon City they die hard in fact your accuracy will cause them to stagger and fall, but it will rarely kill them, so when they fall to the ground, overtake them as long as you are allowed to.

Using powerful weapons: Sometimes the most effective answer is also the most obvious one, in fact if the undead persist in remaining undead, the only really valid solution is to use stronger weapons (such as the Launchers di Clear or Shotgun di Leon).

Play with headphones, but not for the vibe

This last solution will not appeal to many "lion hearts", in fact another method to understand if a zombie is alive or dead is to refine and use one's sense of hearing, through headphones (which in a horror like Resident Evil 2 Remake are ideal), and listen if the zombies you knock down, or blow their heads off, emit a specific noise (similar to a SPLORCH).

In case you hear this noise after knocking out an undead and shooting him the famous "double shot"Safety (as the film teaches"Zombieland“) Then you can rest assured that that dead man will remain so and you can proceed safely to the next suspicious corpse.

These simple, but effective, methodologies are just some of the strategies that can be used to move along the arduous roads of Racoon City.
