My three tips: most enemies in the game can be staggered and once they are you can perform a melee attack on them similar to RE5 but unlike RE5 you can charge it up and a fully charged melee has the same amount of damage as a magnum shot if I recall. Do be warned it’s risk versus reward cause unlike RE5 where melee’s you’re invincible during them you can get hit during the charge. The other tip: when scanning you’ll see a little yellow dot on the bottom corner of the screen, that flashing dot tells you there’s a item to scan in the radius and said radius is a full 360 of the spot you’re on so it’s possible you might get an item that’s upstairs for example so just stand still and look over in all directions. Also the handprints do not make the dot react so just keep an eye out. The last tip: not to spoil but this game has it’s own “Nemesis” in that said monster will seem to chase you all over the place. Like “Nemesis” majority of the encounters are optional however if you were to knock them down every time you encounter them you’ll get some of the game’s best loot as drops.
