The unwritten rules of combat in Resident Evil Village

Use the environment wisely

Ethan rarely deals with one enemy at a time, meaning players have to think about how to survive attacks coming from multiple directions. One way to prevent him from being overpowered is to slow enemies down, which players occasionally get lucky enough to do by barricading the entrances to certain rooms with shelving units. This can buy players the time they need to reload their weapon, treat injuries, and search the environment they're hiding in before enemies eventually find their way inside.

There won't always be a room to hide in, but there are still ways to slow down incoming enemies. A good way to conserve ammo while protecting Ethan is to incapacitate enemies with sparse flour sacks that can temporarily incapacitate nearby enemies. On that note, it's important to note that not all enemies need to be killed, and running away is a valid option that ensures Ethan Winters can live—as a molded character—and fight another day with ammunition that might otherwise be wasted. .

VR offers an unlimited number of throwing knives

When all ammo is used up, Ethan still has his trusty knife to use in the worst case scenario. It is interesting that in Resident Evil Village VR, players can use Ethan's knife as a projectile that comes in handy in an emergency. Best of all, one can throw as many knives as needed. They don't deal a lot of damage, yet they can stop an enemy long enough for Ethan to prepare his weapon.

Animals can be hunted in Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village offers players a vast world to explore, and every corner hides new horrors. To get the most out of the game, players should try to explore as much as possible. Through exploration, vital items are found to advance the plot and also help Ethan find useful items to help him against the Lycans. For example, players can go on a journey to find animals that can be harvested for ingredients to make stat-boosting dishes at the duke's trading stands.

Search for treasures and Lei

It's also worth looking for all the optional treasures while exploring. There are eight of them to find, and players will receive either a weapon or a treasure, which the Duke will be happy to buy for a good amount of Lei. Treasures are marked on the map by a duke, making hunting them a bit easier and giving players a fun side objective to pursue.

Lei is a useful currency that can be used to buy items from the Duke, so it's smart to collect as many as you can (including the crystal treasures that players earn from the Labyrinth Orbs). In order to make the most of the treasures collected, players should ensure that the treasures that can be combined are combined. Players thus gain Lei's wealth when they sell the treasure to the duke. The following combinable treasures can be stacked Resident Evil Village:
