Difference between A route's and B

[Votivecloud]

I played through Leon's A route and Claire's B, Is there any difference if I go Claire's A and then Leon's B? Or is it pretty much their same personal stories, just that you start from outside the police station with the B character?

I'm not 100% sure. It seems like the main differences are in the beginning. I've noticed these differences (spoilers, of course):

1: You start outside in the courtyard

2: The main hall isn't safe and has zombies in it (as well as Marvin)

3: Mr. X comes at you much sooner (he'll pop up as soon as you go to the hallway where the S.T.A.R.S office is located).

4: The actual route is somewhat different due to starting off with the bolt cutters immediately.

5: Some of the early cutscenes are gone (like Leon trying to save Elliot or discovering the corpse in the hallway with the separated jaw).

Yeah that's what I figured aswell, but there's no real reason to take claire over leon at the start since it'll play out the same, just with a slightly different beginning, but do you know if there are any specific unlocks for playing Claire A and then leon B instead? About to start a hardcore run with claire most likely

To my knowledge, there aren't any unlocks that are tied to scenario A or B, specifically, so it doesn't matter who you play first or which scenario you go through.

i just finished doing a hardcore run for leon B and if i didn't already forget you get a bonus in your records called Story Master and you get a model out of it

Alright, well i'll play claire A then Leon B none the less, just so i've finished all different order types, Thanks for the responses!

IMHO there is nothing you miss besides achievements/unlocks.
Even the 2nd scenario is a lot of repetition of stuff you already did. There are some differences yes, but there is also so much that should already be done by the first character. Feels like you play in 2 parallel worlds that somehow overlap in the end...

I mean they both enter the city together at the same time, yet magically you end up in the exact same places and never really meet each other and whatever the other did already you have to do again.

Just like the extra challenge mode is exactly the same, just with different characters. Biggest issue with the game is the lack of diversification.

I heard that in Original RE2 in LeonA/ClaireB Sherry doesn't get infected like she does in Claire A Is that still the case here?

She is infected during claire's 2nd run, and she gets cured near the end before the final cutscenes

im guessing she does get infected either way because if she doesnt they wouldn't need to get the antiviral and leon wouldn't of been able to grab the G sample without sherry's pendant

thought you were talking about the remake since you said "Is that still the case here?"

That was what I meant. What I asked was if anyone knew. Your guessing doesn't answer my question

Scenario B is generally tougher, tyrant appeared earlier too.
