Achivements. Minimalist, Frugalist, A Small Carbon Footprint.

[Chusma con Armas]

Does anyone know any guide strategy guide or something to get this 3 trophies at the same time?. Thanks.

You can easily get frugalist and small carbon footprint with an infinite weapon. Doesn't take long either. However Minimalist at the same time would require a pretty dedicated run through guide and I don't think anyone has made one yet. There is however some minimalist guides you can check on reddit though.

Don't think so. Did it a few days ago while practicing speedrunning on Standard. Just remember to only pick up items that you need right now, and considering there's 6 hip pouches on Standard, it's nothing serious.

i did the frugalist and footprint with the minigun on easy mode.

i did the minimalist on another easy game run as all those extra pouches in the rpd really help

did both runs while i was searching for 2 elusive files for the lore achievment

The easiest way is doing an out-of-bounds speedrun with Claire A on standard or assisted.
The somewhat less cheat-y way is doing the Standard speedrun with Leon or Claire A with the exception of opening all doors with your keys (club/heart key, sewer T-wrench, lab modulator) to get rid of them. Also, on standard/assisted, you get all but one of the pouch slots this way.

As for the steps, do not fret about it: If you get every single item in the game and go back to stash them in the box yields around 13800-15000 steps. The shortest non-glitching speedrun route is under 8000. You have plenty of steps.

I did the 3 together on Claire A assisted with normal weapons. Healing items aren't a problem and, early on, you only need 1 stack of ammo at a time. I also didn't have the infinite knife yet, which would make it easier to do. I grabbed the inventory slots as I could, and I got the keypad buttons for that one there too. After a few slot increases, you find you have a lot more room for grenades and extra weapons. I did avoid the SMG though, not worth the extra space or time, but I did take the sparkshot and GL.

I ended the run with 2 key items I couldn't remove, the handle from the sewers and the lab modulator (didn't go back for the final inventory slot in the lab sleeping area). I just made sure I went where I needed to go, and picked up anything I could afford to take as I went. Ended the game with around 1700 steps spare and had even made a silly mistake at the clock tower, and went the long way through the library instead of the door across the balcony area.

If you do die, I would say load instead of press continue, 'cause it might work the same as the game timer and continue from the number you died at.

You have to drop back to the menu and load. Pressing continue or load from the death menu adds the time since last save up to your death to the loaded time

I have done Claire B with Rank S+ and I got "A small carbon footprint", So I just need frugalist and minimalist at the same time now. But... I will stop playing RE 2 by now, probably I will have a look at the DLC, but it don't look very promising.

I did minimalist + frugalist + less than 4 hours challenge altoguether in an easy run without infinite weapons ( + a waist of space achievement since I have only played in hardcore mode before, and you can't get that one in hardcore).

It was pretty easy, but for the footprint one, I guess you can do it at the same time as rank S or S+.

[Lanzagranadas]

Minimalist, Frugalist and A Small Carboon Footprint can all be done on Assisted, so you wouldn't even need much of a guide for that. But here some tips:

1. Do it on 1st Run scenario for less steps wasted due to Mr. X.
2. Use anything with infinite ammo you've unlocked.
3. Don't do anything that isn't necessary (don't bother with the armory lockers stuff, and don't bother with any weapon upgrades unless the ones that are in your way).
4. Plan your route and save everytime you come across a typewriter. Play for small bits and if you think you've wasted too many steps in your current section, just load and try again. Also save in different slots.
5. Don't take useless walks, if you have doubts on what to do next, just stand still and think for a moment, because time isn't really the issue.
6. Assisted regens your health from Danger to Caution if you avoid taking damage for a set time, so it's perfectly doable without healing.

I did the minimalist without a guide on hardcore in Leon A scenario. Just play the path that you know better and avoid enemies as much as you can. Kill the dogs in their cages, walk past Lickers, trick Mr. X to throw a punch and then run past him, same with the big sewer monsters, and maybe look up a speedrun on how to deal with Birkin.

Put extra focus on making shotgun shells instead of pistol bullets, get all the extra pockets, and the flamethrower. If you really gotta kill a zombie, headshot it with the shotgun or make it flinch with the pistol by shooting its legs. Don't go for headshots with the pistol. The flinch chance is the same and it's much harder to it.It takes some skill, but it's not that ridiculous. Oh, and use flamethrower in the last phase of the final Birkin fight. Before that use shotgun to get rid of the eyes and then unload your magnum into the chest eyes.

That was a rant, but I hope it helps even a little bit.

I got all of these 3 at the same time with Claire in easy mode, no infinite weapons. You just need to understand the mechanics of the game and know the combination of puzzles beforehand.

i got all 3 at the same time lel, just play on easy and only follow the story lel

I think frugalist can be easily done with infinite minigun and/or infinite rocket launcher (that's what I'll try to do, at least)

The steps achievement...I think I'll manage to get it with my Claire S+ rank attempt (I'm at the sewers right now and I think I'll make it just under 14k steps)

The minimalist...well, that's gonna be a difficult one. I imagine is all about playing on assisted or standard (to get all hip pouches) and just pick important items. In my case, I'm pretty sure I'll only pick the shotgun and maybe the flamethrower (I won't pick up the magnum since it takes too much extra space). I think this should be done in assisted because you won't be able to carry too many healing items (for obvious reasons) and in standard zombies still hit pretty hard, so...that's that (I must say I'm also somewhat worried about sub-weapons ....)

You have to drop back to the menu and load. Pressing continue or load from the death menu adds the time since last save up to your death to the loaded time

You can also just continue then load your game via ESC->Load and that 100% works for the timer while being far faster than the slow main menu and loading game from there.
