Resident Evil 3: ADVANCED TIPS | Counter Punching, Improved Dodging, Nemesis Stopping, & More

Have you started playing yet? If you have, let me know what you think about how RE3 stacks up against last year's RE2. I personally really liked both for completely different reasons. Boomstick Gaming is a safe haven for gamers who value game mechanics and systems, because that’s what makes anything from 8-bit to 8k, equally enjoyable. Thanks for taking out some time to watch this. I appreciate that! - Alex

Any dude that punches a Licker in the face is a badass.

One more tiny thing. When you find an upgrade, do not rush to stick it to your gun. Deplete your current magazine first(not fully ofc). Upgrading any gun will give you free clip of amunition.

Carlos is channeling his inner Chris

Carlos punched a licker in the face. Umbrella should just abandon their B.O.W research and making clones of Carlos.

I have no idea why everyone is bitching about this game. I think it’s great fun and compliments RE2. The environments are well designed. I’ve been playing RE since 98 and this a superb title.

I'm so glad someone finally can explain the dodge mechanic properly. Too many people just give general tips that don't really give too much intuition of it works or when you can do it, the degree angle is so useful so thanks for being the most useful guide I found so far.

Carlos is more of a badass now. Punching lickers in the brain...

You can use Carlos' shoulder check to keep knocking zombies back onto the floor. This is useful if you find one alone on the ground; just knife it 3-5 times, then press the dodge button to knock it back down, repeat until it is down for good.

1:46 Licker: Was about to claw carlos Carlos: FALCON PUNCH

A good tip i picked up that applies to this as well as RE2R is to use gunpowder strictly for shotgun shells. The SG's extremely useful for clearing zombies from your path with it's one-headshot instant kill

That 45 degree angle point for dodging was so freaking helpful. I’m dodging so much better now. I was simply going 180 degree to the left or right or just going backwards previously and only getting it maybe 33% of the time. I was so ridiculously frustrated and didn’t think I could possibly suck that bad because my timing seemed on point. Now it’s 80% or more I’m successfully dodging. Thanks!

I love watching these vids when I’m on the shitter

I literally found out about the staggering punch with Carlos by accident because I ran out bullets

Not only is Carlo's punch similar to Chris', but even his physique and walking stance with the pistol is similar.

An alternative to dealing with Lickers: just walk past them slowly. I did try to stun lock the Lickers with the knife, but that's been "fixed" for RE3R.

I notice, also, that when swiping with the knife, you can cut and hold back to immediately move backward after your swing. A minor detail, but helpful at times

When you use a grenade launcher and want to switch the ammo type but dont want to deal with the long reloading time. Switch the weapon and switch back and it'll be filled with that ammo type without having to go through the reloading animation.

Carlos punch is kinda like recreation of Jill's dodge move in the OG where she pushes zombies.

Weapons ammunations tips Grenade launcher: hunter gamma and nimesis are vulnerable to flame rounds so make it your top priority when crafting GL ammunation after that the acid rounds become cuz of its effectiveness on hunter-beta And the explosive round doesnt have any specific use so i recommende to ignore crafting it BS its available accross the game world and the most common ones Bullet ammunations If attempt the hardcore difficulty dont craft shotgun shells cuz you will notice the tremendous amount of it accross the gamevs world if you search everywere and open every lock instead of that just craft handgun ammo and magnum ammo
