15 bullets to the head , lmao come on

[Kotton]

its not hard but come on , i have shot multiple zombies in the head 15+ times , if i shot something 10 times in the head , there would be no head

That's why you dont kill a zombie. Shoot him once in the head, if you see him struggle back a bit just run past them.

By any chance are you shooting 15 rounds when they are getting up? They will not trigger their 'fall down' animation and will revive again for the next set.

Avoid 'killing' them and simply stun them with 1-2 hits to the head and run by, if you seriously want to kill them you need a shotgun blast to their face or crit a pistol.

This is especially true for zombies that are 'asleep' in ambush events like the last medallion for the basement access, the licker spawns and the zombie in the ceiling will fall and basically grab you, and on hardcore he would be really annoying and get you killed.

So you would play Leon and shoot him in the head with a shotgun to get rid of him for good, or use a knife and knife his arms off as Claire and then trigger the event. He will get up but has no arms to grab you with.

Very rare for me to explode the zombie head with a handgun even in normal. Magnum 100% explodes the head.

Many are having experienced the same frustrations, i dont mind 5-6 shots to the head to kill a zombie, its just the fact unless you crit or shotgun them then they never stay down is what bothers me. if they made them more succeptible to headshots but increased the amount of zombies, would be better. Pray to the mod gods my friend.

Too many zombies might break Mr X if you evade past them. His AI gets a bit wonky sometimes when he waits for you to do something when you fight him with a knife too.

I saw him glitched out in the final battle and after being stunned, he took a step forward and waited, then stunned, and repeat the same thing.

Ah Thats a problem :/ only played leon side for like a few hours or so. Iether way i am hoping htey put some consideration to this for people. I would greatly consider it, as near unkillable zombies does not really do much for me but kill the immersion, you just end up frustrated not on edge at all against the enemies imo. I really cant wait to face mr x though, seriously love the nemisis system and the tension just like in resi 3 with big ole smiley.

Lucky shots! hehe

[Sloko]

I didn't find it to bad on 1st run but now on the 2nd run it's a bit ridiculous.

At one point I decided just to mess around a bit and try out the guns, and the worst it got was 3 point blank headshots with the shotgun to kill a single zombie and 3 shots with the magnum to kill a licker.

And thats just on normal...

[๖ۣۜFenris]

Is there a mod for fix this or something ? I realy appreciate the game at the beginning, but the adaptative difficulty and this ruin the game for me now, I don't appreciate the gameplay in this current state anymore. I need 10-15 9mm rounds per zombies in the head, and 2-3 rounds of shotgun in the head, or a lot of multiple stab just to kill just one, that's ridiculous actualy, original RE 2 was more balanced.

[BigLol]

you either:
1.shoot them in the leg and run
2.shoot them in the leg wait for them to stagger and run
3.try to kill them even though you don't have to and complain in the forums.

[Bansheebutt]

Any shots wasted on a zombie that's already on the ground is user error.

Nah you definitely can shoot the head for guaranteed stagger and run past them while they do.
That costs exactly one bullet and bye.

I found shooting below the belt often staggers too but it's not guaranteed.

The safer option is to cripple a leg off, although in some places a crawling zombie is still a problem. But that's 3-5 bullets instead of 1. So if you're really trying to play conservative, shooting legs is still not the most efficient option.

I have yet to experiment with shooting arms.
