There are Raccoons that available and exclusive to Leon and Claire, and one Raccoon you can find in the first minute of the 2nd run. All progress is shared regardless of the save file used. E.G. You can load a save, toss a grenade and kill 3 zombies to earn the record, and then reload the save. Your record will persist from now on.

DLC Inc posted:how easy is it to get all the Mr. Raccoons, anyway? I found maybe 3 on Leon A and missed a fuckton. I presume they're spread out over Leon/Claire A Scenarios? Also are they counted only at game's end or can you reload previous saves to find them without finishing a run? It can be done mid-run, as soon as you shoot the 15th one the next time you quit to the main menu it will tell you you unlocked the unlimited knife and will be in your item box the next time you load a save/start a new game.

B.O.W.s like Hunters and Lickers would also be useful for area denial—oh, you wanted to take that railyard? Have fun dealing with the horrific bullet sponge monsters we dropped off as we retreated. Maybe I'm getting my Resident Evil lore wrong but isn't the entire idea that Umbrella is basically a bio-weapon startup that is in reality trying to pivot to the creation of superhumans as their end-goal?

BiggerBoat posted:Did anyone here suss out the locker codes and safe combos on their own or did everyone go online for them? I'm on Claire B and honestly don't think I ever even found all the codes and poo poo. And god drat, thinking about how much harder the game would be without some of those goodies is brutal. Sussed 'em out myself with one brute-force exception. All the info is in the game within reasonable distance of each locker/safe, you just have to open the place up a bit to find the files/clues. I also refuse to look up passwords/codes etc. for my first run through a game so I really had no choice  Thankfully the 3-letter padlocks can be brute-forced with ease if necessary; 3 reels with 6 options per reel. Tiresome if you end up doing this on all of them but not enough potential combinations for it to be frustrating. Combo safes however I had to hunt around for the related files (except for one, because it's right there with the safe). Brute-forcing those ingame is probably impossible to achieve within a human lifespan, never mind a short session playing videogames. DLC Inc posted:how easy is it to get all the Mr. Raccoons, anyway?

Zombie dogs are no joke. I just saw RE: Vendetta and the two chasing Leon were flipping cars that hit them. What a wonderfully shlocky movie. So much zombie gunfu. And the villian had the most Resident Evil motive ever to turn Rebecca Chambers into a zombie so he could marry her.

I found all the safe/locker codes organically, but i didn't find the 2nd floor waiting room safe code until my second or third playthrough. I also brute forced the sewer locker on my first playthrough, and probably didn't even use those bullets between then and when I found the code.

Alright I'm seeing some misconceptions about RE2 mechanics here, so I'm gonna write out stuff here and maybe someone can chime in and correct: Source for most of these is the guy someone in here posted earlier who's reading game memory and taking notes. Here's the google doc he's updating. Intentionally undisclosed game mechanics follow:

MiddleOne posted:Maybe I'm getting my Resident Evil lore wrong but isn't the entire idea that Umbrella is basically a bio-weapon startup that is in reality trying to pivot to the creation of superhumans as their end-goal? It's a surprisingly complicated question. Basically, the company was founded around the discovery of the Progenitor virus, which the various founders thought they could use to do personally relevant things. All three of them were also old-money billionaires, so they invested their own fortunes to start Umbrella as basically a shell company for the research. Most of what got done with the virus over the next 30 years was a series of interesting accidents, ending with the Tyrant as a prototype in the first game. The T-Virus's actual stated use is as a sort of bioengineering catalyst, because it "revitalizes dead cells," so you can make entirely new forms of life with it alongside the undead dogs and zombies and whatnot. Some of the creatures they made were intended as actual salable weapons, but Umbrella itself never actually got the chance to sell them. Most of the money was coming from Umbrella's day job making toiletries, medicines, and other assorted products. (We see Umbrella-brand shampoo and conditioner in RE3, and painkillers in Alyssa's ending in Outbreak.) Of the three founders, Edward Ashford didn't get much of consequence done before Spencer arranged an "accident" for him in 1968; James Marcus got whacked in 1988 after perfecting the modern T-Virus; and Ozwell Spencer's whole deal was using the virus to force-evolve humans into something better. (The "Doylist" answer is that Umbrella was just sort of usefully seething with evil until CV or so, when somebody slowed down long enough to ask why they were doing this poo poo at all. At that point, something like five different writers gave five different answers, until somebody put his foot down and the whole thing got kitbashed into sensibility by the files in RE5.)

There's no data for Samurai's Edge base damage yet, but this implies Jill's edge: superior speed - good for base damage output - run and pop tactics Chris' edge: superior damage per shot - quick reticle means better bang for buck Wesker's edge: superior chance to instakill zombies via headshot. edit: crit chance in general.

And I'm assuming the infinite edge is just standard across the board? I'm thinking of doing a hardcore Claire A with that and the launcher since going back for the SMG would add too much time.

There's a poster with Brad on it inside the little stairwell area room outside of the station that you go into on the B playthrough. It's in the spot where you can see him in Original Resident Evil 2 if you go fast(?)... don't shoot your weapon(?)... I don't remember the requirements.

With the PS4 I haven't been using the Edge guns even though (later) they were in my chest. Though my brother noticed that one time when he wasn't logged in, it just removed the pre-order gun from his inventory mid use when he loaded his save and left him empty handed Sure it came back when they relogged, but a gun that can come and go according to the whims of the internet dooming you in the middle of a zombie outbreak sounds like an MGS plot. "How could so many trained police officers die to something like this?" "The ID locks on their guns kicked in. They never had a chance." Then here comes a rookie cop with a poo poo gun even the item description makes fun of, but it WORKS.

Sometimes Mr X can be real sneaky when he wants to. I was getting the jack as Claire, back out into the room you get the detonator in, and I'm psyching myself to get past that loving licker out there when suddenly BAM the door gets punched open and it is Given to Me. Speaking of lickers, I really need to figure out a better way to deal with them when I'm attempting to gofast, they're easily my biggest weakness (aside from my own idiot fuckups of course )

what were the toughest room encounters you've had? I think the room where I blew the most ammo/health was actually that lab hallway where you have to get the power back on and there's 2 Lickers right there along with 2 or 3 zombies. What a clusterfuck that turned into.

Yo can we talk about the concept art unlockables for a moment? Namely Design Sketch C, the one you get from Genius Chemist (finish the second story lab cartridge puzzle in less than nine moves)? Spoilering the solution here in case anyone wants to go grab it because this concept art is the most interesting, in my opinion: Blue, Red, Green, Blue, Red, Green, Blue, Red, Green What this does is unlocks some pretty baller concept art that highlights an intent for Lickers to evolve from zombies. We knew that a Licker is what happens when a zombie is hit with a fresh dose of T-Virus, but the way the zombie arm mutated into claws, it's tongue elongates, and the skin splits like a shell to reveal the Licker underneath is very cool. There's also some cool zombies that look like those emaciated things from Nova Prospekt in Half Life 2. Oh, and some fat mutated guy in an electric wheelchair. Man this game. So cool. So much detail.

The only strategy I've found for lickers is know where they're gonna be and exterminate them as thoroughly as possible as soon as you can. Also, if you do it right you can prevent literally every zombie from ever coming in to the west hallway behind the knife panel, which is fantastic for faster runs. Taking a little detour to board up the hall before I go say hi to the other main character feels like leaving a present for future me.

One bitch comes through the window, they start standing up everywhere, I don't know what I'm actually looking for yet, then I find the crank and bail only to get into the hallway where big fat donut lad is waiting right as I open the door, then I find out I need the fuse and have to find that as about half a dozen zombies pinball all over the place after my rear end. Anywhere with planty boys because even fire doesn't seem to keep them down for good half the time.

Bitey salad killguide: (some speculation involved) Popping all their bulbs equals 1500 dmg. Shooting anywhere else depends on the gun's damage output * difficulty. Then they take a nap and regenerate their 1500 hp slowly. They get back up at triggers I think (player getting close). They are dead for good if they hit 0 hp while burning (they turn into char + unique death rattle).

She was in a state of transforming into a licker, one of her (unseen) legs was bent backward and inside out and she had the big rear end tongue. She also fought you bending backward so her naked zombie rear end was just always on display for some reason.

Does the suppressor on Claire's SMG have an effect on Mr X hearing you when he's looking for you? I wonder how much sound he actually reacts to and if it's based on how far he is from you. It's probably just a thing where he hears sound and starts heading directly for that location. I wonder if anyone has really tested it out extensively. It could be useful to fire a shot in one area if you knew you were heading to the opposite side and likely wouldn't run into him although I have a suspicion that he's programmed to never get really far away from you.
