Resident Evil 4 VR: 5 Essential Tips for Success | VR Game Guide

Simple & Effective Strategies to Survive the Horror in Virtual Reality

1. Keep Your Knife Ready

In VR, using the knife is much easier and faster. Always try to hold your knife in your free hand while aiming your gun. This lets you quickly swing to block things thrown at you (like axes) or stab enemies that get too close. It saves you from getting hit often.

Bonus Tip: Try to unlock the Primal Knife as soon as possible. It lasts much longer than the basic knife (you need to finish the game once and collect figures first).

2. Save Dual-Wielding for Strong Enemies

VR lets you hold and shoot two different guns at the same time. This is powerful, but save it for tough fights. Use it against bosses or dangerous enemies like chainsaw-wielders. Don't waste your powerful ammo (like Magnum or shotgun shells) on regular enemies. Use dual-wielding in these tough moments to kill them quickly.

3. Organize Your Holsters

Take time in the game menu to set where your weapons are stored on your body. Put your most-used gun (like your main pistol) on your hip (right hip if you're right-handed, left hip if left-handed). Put another frequently used weapon (like a machine gun) on your other hip – this makes grabbing it for dual-wielding very fast. Put larger weapons (like the rifle or crossbow) on your shoulders. Arrange them so you can find and grab your weapons easily during fights. This makes playing much smoother.

4. Focus on Upgrading Key Weapons

You won't have enough money to upgrade everything on your first time playing. Pick one or two weapons you use the most (probably your main pistol and maybe a shotgun or Magnum for bosses). Spend most of your upgrade money on these first. Getting one strong weapon fully upgraded is better than having many weak weapons. Upgrade other things later.

5. Use the Crossbow to Save Ammo

The crossbow is very useful in VR. You can pick up the bolts you shoot, meaning you don't always lose ammo when you use it. This helps save bullets for your other guns. Be careful where you shoot – if a bolt flies off a cliff, you can't get it back. But if it hits a wall or the ground near you, you can usually pick it up again. Practice with it!

Bonus Tip: Play the Shooting Range

Don't skip the shooting range mini-game! It helps you practice aiming. Also, doing well there unlocks special keychains. Equipping these keychains on your case gives you helpful bonuses for the main game, like moving faster or finding more ammo.

Final Advice: Remember these tips: Keep your knife out, save dual-wielding for big threats, set up your holsters neatly, focus on upgrading your favorite guns, and use the crossbow to save ammo.
