I am out of ammo and can't kill William with Claire (2nd playthru)

[Sakura]

Hey guys, ⟡ ݁₊ .

I'm COMPLETELY out of ammo, idk what happened but with Leon everything went super smoothly and with Claire I'm barely making it out from anywhere.
By the time I arrived downstairs to kill William, I'm at ZERO ammo with all my weapons, no knifes and no healing herbs either.

I guess I could run up to the police station to collect some stray ammos, but even that wouldn't be enough.

Thanks for your advice in advance ⟡ ݁₊ .

i defeated him at G1 easy, but G2. I'm out of everything ｡𖦹°‧

You can tank him. Using the crane 3 times will kill him with no ammo.

When you have run out of ammo, you have either fought zombies, which can be avoided and mistaken the game for a shooter. Or not used the weapons correctly.

If you take some time while aiming, the crosshair will turn into a dot. Which means 50% more damage and a higher critical ratio. If you don't move the crosshair, it will take 2-3sec.

For Zombies, aim for the Head +10% Damage or Torso -10% Damage, not the Lower Arm or Feet (-80% Damage).
When a Zombie lies at the floor, you can stab him with a knife, which is equal to 2/3 of a Hand Gun Shot Damage. The knife's durability will last for 50-100 Stabs. So each Knife is worth 60-70 Rounds of Handgun ammunition. The Last Boss of the 2nd playthrough G5 can even be killed with just the knife, you will find in the train.

70% of the enemies in the game are Zombies with around 840 HP (500-1190 HP). Claire's Handgun has 138-81 Attack Damage. The Quickdraw Army Colt has 216-126 Attack Damage. Depending on how good you play, you need 4-10 Hits to defeat a Zombie. The worser you perform, the easier the game will adjust the difficulty.

The fact that you ran out of healing items also suggests, you are making too many mistakes. Keep the enemies at a distance, fight them one at a time or run away. Use the knife to make an emergency counter stab. It will cost a 1/5 of the knife's durability.
To make an emergency counter stab, you need to get attacked from the front side and stand on flat terrain (no stairs).

If you made too many mistakes, load the game from the last save point.

Take your time to finish the 2nd playthrough. About 5h are recommended for the first playthrough. When you replay the game, you can go down to 2-3h of playtime and get an S-Rank.

Know your enemies:
- The Lickers are blind, so you can slowly walk pass them. No need to waste ammo on them
- Mr.X (Tyrant) is invincible, you can only stun him for 30sec. You can simply run away, or run around him in certain places, where there is an object like a table in the middle of the room. You can also wait a min at one save room, or STARS office or interrogation room. Don't alert him by making a weapon shot noise. If you really need to kill a zombie to pass the room, do it either before summoning Mr.X or use the MQ 11 submachine gun with a supressor.
- Most G-Adults can be avoided if you know how, either without wasting ammo or with just one Hand gun shot. You can take a look, at how speed runners do it. The Sparkshot is quite effective against them.
- Also the Ivy plant Zombie is weak against the Sparkshot but it is better to avoid them or stun with one strong weapon shot and then run pass them

That's brilliant, thank you SO MUCH for all the response, you really took a lot of time and effort to write this all down! I really appreciate it mate, you're awesome!

And you're right I made a LOT of mistakes. For example, the lickers. I completely forgot that they're blind. Also, I'm not sure how to walk past them unnoticed exactly? I mean each time I enter an area where a licker is, they just jump on me instantly. I'm gonna look that one up how to do it, because I wasted most of my acid and flame ammos on those betches.

Thank you again for the detailed breakdown, I'll be sure to take notes.

Cheers ⠀

Tank him?
You mean, without weapons, just tank all the dmg he deals? I die so fast with Claire. I was thinking to also just try to dodge his attacks but the space is so limited that I couldn't. LOL.
I'm such a looser man.
But thank you for your response anyhow ⠀

Nah, you're not a loser. Just takes practice. Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned, but a full mixed herb can double the punishment you can take for some time. Don't give up.

I wrote it how to proceed with the lickers. To walk slowly and quietly, you need to press the movement stick just a bit. You can hear the difference between walking and running by listening to the footsteps. Sometimes at areas with Lickers, there are puddles of (rain) water which cause an extra sound when running.

If there is a difficult part like in the attic with the C2 explosives, after getting the Maiden Medallion. You can use the Flash Grenade, you picked up at the STARS Office, which will both stun the Zombie and the Licker (and Mr.X).

If there's a particular licker section you're having trouble with, point it out and I can get you through it.

[Ertkal]

If you entered a licker room already running, starting to walk will be useless cause they already know you there. If that happens quickly leave and enter the area again this time walking
