MINIMALIST ACHIEVEMENT

[Sheriff Hoyt]

So it says complete the game with a handgun and a knife only excluding specific battles, so WHICH BATTLES AM I ALLOWED TO USE OTHER WEAPONS? and also throwing eggs on salazar is gonna ruin my achievement or after to regenators am i allowed to use the thermal scope?

[Player Zer01]

on fights that force you to use other weapons

krauzer knife fight (first fight)
the lake
cannons in fort
etc

also the rocket at the end is fine to use, the one ada gives you.

[Garamoth]

Harpoon for Del Lago, Rocket Launcher for final boss, the canon I guess.

Don't throw eggs, don't shoot the rifle.

[Jario]

You aren't allowed to use eggs, you can use the scope to see where the plagas in the regenerators are but, have to shoot them using your pistol, the battle you are allowed to use other weapons refers to del lago when you use the spears and saddler, where you have to use the rocket launcher to end the fight.

[Ceredante]

Throwing the egg at Salazar will ruin your run, don't do it. You can equip the thermal scope on a weapon and aim to see the parasites in the Regeneradors, just don't fire the weapon.

[Scorpix]

You can ONLY use:
- Pistols (Weapons that consume handgun ammo)
- Knives
- Turrets on island
- Harpoons during Del Lago fight
- The Red headed Rocket Launcher given by Ada
- Cannons
- Melee attacks

You can hold other weapons and use scope but you cant shot or throw anything.

About Regeneradores. Use knife. I am not joking, it works better than pistol.

i embarassingly failed the run twice, first for using flashbangs and grenades, the 2nd for throwing eggs on salazar's portrait and a golden egg on his face, somehow it didn't occur to me that eggs count as part of throwables category lmao

Primal knife works the best. Handgun is not doing a lot to them due the lack of pierce.

I havent done due this fungalist achieve but move it on professional rocket launcher run

I used the LE-5 with the scope to pinpoint where the parasites are (you can equip it - just don't shoot it), and then shoot in the general area with the punisher.

Isn’t a magnum a HANDgun

[Scorpix]

Magnum is not a handgun. It also consumes different type of ammo.

I did a standard run, only pistol and no heals as my FIRST run in the game. Its pretty hard, probably even harder than speedruns but the only thing you can do against those enemies is to check their weak spots with the thermal and thats it. Remember to craft tons of ammo for the pistol, I personally dont like the red9 cause the blacktaill still has more dps which is the major factor if you rely on that gun ONLY, but red9 is fine too.

[steven272]

Would you recommend the Matilda to do this?

[FreshRevenge]

The Punisher works on regenerators nicely. Since they have penetrating power. I just lured them to the door near the merchant. Also the one with the wrench I just lure that one to the room with the stairs.

Also having cat ears help with ammo.

Yes a magnum (.44mm) is usually a 6-shot revolver that is by definition a "handgun" and made famous by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry movie. CAPCOM has a strange definition for handgun in eliminating the Magnum weapons as handguns while defining 9mm weapons as only handguns.. Disappointing!
