Resident Evil 3 Remake is a high-paced survival horror game that reimagines the 1999 classic. You play as Jill Valentine during the final days of Raccoon City’s collapse, stalked by the relentless bioweapon Nemesis.

This guide will cover:
• Combat tips
• Resource management
• Boss fights
• Weapon recommendations
• Differences from RE2

• Always keep moving: RE3 is faster than RE2. Standing still = death.
• Use dodge (R1/RB) often: Mastering the perfect dodge gives you bullet time.
• Conserve ammo: Headshots + dodge + knife = survival.
• Use red barrels and electric boxes: Save them for crowds or Nemesis.
• Search everywhere: Lockpicks and bolt cutters are essential for unlocking upgrades.

• Combine wisely:
 - Green + Red = Full Heal
 - Gunpowder + High-Grade = Shotgun Shells
• Carry 1 healing item always. Don’t hoard — use when in danger.
• Inventory space upgrades: There are 6 hip pouches. Grab them all.
• Shortcut your weapons: Assign your best gear to the D-pad.

• Handgun: Good for basic zombies. Focus on headshots.
• Shotgun: Best all-round weapon for close encounters.
• Grenade Launcher: Essential for Nemesis and tougher enemies.
• Assault Rifle: Carlos' exclusive. Great for suppression.
• Magnum (late game): Boss killer — don’t waste it.

Upgrade Tip:
Don’t miss the weapon parts hidden behind locked doors and safes. Explore thoroughly.

• Nemesis (Stage 1):
 - Dodge his grabs and tentacle swipes.
 - Use electric boxes and grenades.
 - You can down him temporarily to get supply crates.

• Nemesis (Stage 2-3):
 - Use Flame/Acid Rounds.
 - Look for power nodes and use them to stun.
 - Watch for the quick-time dodges.

• Hunter Betas and Gammas:
 - Shotgun or Grenade Launcher only.
 - Gammas open their mouth — shoot then.

• Final Boss:
 - Keep moving, shoot weak spots.
 - Use the railgun when ready — follow prompts.

• Lockpick & Bolt Cutters: Keep them until you unlock all areas.
• Hip Pouches: Grab all 6 for max inventory.
• Safe Codes:
 - Drugstore Safe: 9 Left, 3 Right, 7 Left
 - Police Station Safe (Carlos): 9 Left, 15 Right, 7 Left
• Charlie Dolls: Destroy all 20 for rewards.

Tip: Backtrack with new tools to access upgrades and weapons.

Resident Evil 3 Remake rewards speed, precision, and smart resource use. If you master the dodge mechanic and plan your inventory carefully, you’ll breeze through Raccoon City — even with Nemesis on your heels.
