Resident Evil: Revelations is a survival horror game set between RE4 and RE5. You play primarily as Jill Valentine, exploring the derelict cruise ship Queen Zenobia while unraveling a bioterror plot.

This guide will help you:
• Understand core gameplay
• Master dodging and scanning
• Upgrade and use weapons effectively
• Survive combat and conserve resources
• Unlock bonus content like Raid Mode

• Explore thoroughly: Items are hidden in drawers, boxes, and behind you.
• Use the Genesis Scanner (L1/LB): Scan enemies and environments to uncover hidden items.
• Dodge is essential: Tap movement + B (or Circle) just before being hit. Practice this early.
• Always break crates: Many contain ammo or herbs.
• Conserve healing: Don’t use herbs unless in Danger.

• Types of Weapons:
 - Handguns: Reliable, good for headshots.
 - Shotguns: Best for up-close, high-damage.
 - Machine Guns: Good crowd control, burns ammo.
 - Rifles: Long-range and great for weak points.
 - Magnum: Save for bosses.

• Custom Parts:
 - Found in hidden areas, often behind optional doors.
 - Add effects like increased firepower, faster reloads, or critical hit chances.
 - You can swap parts at any weapon box.

Pro Tip: Upgrade Shotgun and Handgun first — they’re your main tools for most of the game.

• Ooze Zombies: Aim for the head or legs.
• Sea Creepers: Appear in water areas — avoid swimming blindly.
• Scagdead (Chainsaw enemy): Run and shoot from distance. Stun with grenades.
• Hunter enemies: Jumpers — shotgun or magnum works best.

General advice: Don’t get surrounded. Funnel enemies into narrow spaces.

• You can revisit past episodes via Episode Select to pick up missed items or parts.
• Always check your map: It highlights rooms you haven’t fully explored.
• Look for symbols: Locked doors require matching keys or weapons (like the screwdriver).
• Puzzles are light: Mostly pattern matching or fuse panel resets.

• Unlocked after Episode 3 in the main story.
• Play solo or co-op to defeat waves of enemies across modified maps.
• Each stage has ranks and loot — like weapons, coins, and costumes.
• Level up characters and customize loadouts for better scores.

Best starter character: Jill (Balanced) or Parker (More defense)

❌ Not using the scanner enough
❌ Wasting grenades on weak enemies
❌ Ignoring custom parts
❌ Hoarding ammo — use it wisely, but don’t be stingy
❌ Not dodging or learning enemy patterns early

Resident Evil: Revelations brings back classic RE tension with a modern twist. Use your scanner, manage your gear, and stay calm under pressure. If you explore and upgrade wisely, you’ll conquer the Queen Zenobia in no time.
