ENEMIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:ZOMBIES
Occurence: Every scenario on every difficulty
Zombies lurk around every corner in Resident Evil Outbreak.They have different cinds
of attacking this time.They can slap you or you or like always bite you when they approximate.They can be found in every scenario and should be taken care of with melee weapons on EASY/NORMAL/HARD.They're a true pain on VERY HARD though.
In this case just shoot them to free one of your partners,otherwise try to avoid them.


Name: CROWS
Occurence: Outbreak (NORMAL/HARD/VERY HARD)
Hellfire (NORMAL/HARD/VERY HARD)
The crows have become a bit more annoying this tiem around.Killing them rquires a bit of skill.Wait for them to attack you when they coem down to you avoid their attack turn aroudn quickly and shoot them.You can easily kill them by using the knife when they attack one of your partners.


Name: CRAWLERS
Occurence: Outbreak (HARD/VERY HARD)
A very nice addition to the HARD/VERY HARD modes indeed.These crawlers replace the zombies in the streets in the Outbreak Scenario when you reach the streets in fron of J's Bar.Their attacks can poison you.You can easily defeat them by standing next to them and stomping them with your kicks down.Sounds easy...well it is...if there weren't the others around.


Name: HUNTERS-ALPHA
Occurence: Below Freezing Point,every difficulty
Hunters are creatures more heavily exposed to the T-Virus compared to zombies.The can jump at you and their attacks can be deadly.You can easily defeat them on easier difficulties
but on higher ones they become an unbearable opponent.Run,dodge,escape.That's the deal.


Name: G-LARVAS
Occurence: Below Freezing Point,every difficulty
Occurence: When facing the G-Image you'll stumble across many G-Larvas which are discharged
by the Imago.Stomp them or shoot them.I


Name: LEECHES
Occurence: The Hive,every difficulty
The leeches from Resident Evil 0 make a return in Outbreak.They're still as annoying as the used to be but add a viral effect to their attack.You can stomp them or shoot them to kill them.On HARD/VERY HARD they seem to falling down from everywhere.Shoot them or stomp them.


Name: LICKERS
Occurence: Below Freezing Point (VERY HARD)
Hellfire,every difficulty
Another foe from Resident Evil 2.As usual the licker uses it's long tongue to attack from afar.When being on the ceiling it can stretch it's tongue around your neck.Killit with your Shotgun or ignore it.


Name: HUNTERS-GAMMA
Occurence: Decisions,Decisions,every difficulty
The hunters from Resident Evil 3:Nemesis make an appearnce in the water tanks situated on the B4 level in the last scenario.Their attack sheme is pretty much the same with their
alpha counterparts.Be careful when falling into water!They can stove you in no time!


Name: SHARKS
Occurence: Decisions,Decisions,every difficulty
The sharks have pretty much the same tasks as in the original Resident Evil.They're here to disturb you. The bridge located in the Pier has a few important item you should take.Just
ignore the sharks and run away.If the get you down from the bridge try to get back up as quick as possible.Their mouths are big enough for you to have a seat.


Name: GIANT WASPS
Occurence: Decisions,Decisions,every difficulty
The giant wasps are a realpain this time around.Their stings can poison you when they flay down to attack you.From behind they'll even stab you down to ground.Shooting them requires a
bit of skill since they move quickly and the areas with their occurence are either too big,too small or just too inconvenient.Ignoring them is just as good if not better.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS ENEMIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: G-IMAGO
Occurence: Below Freezing Point
The G-Imago makes a return after its' appearance in Resident Evil 2.It's behaviour is just as bad though.It can vomit g-larvas which will insistently drain energy from your character.You can kill the G-Image quite easily by just using your available weapons like the Shotgun or even the Magnum if you're Yoko.On harder difficulties it is recommended to just kill it with turntable by pressing the button on the right side twice.The G-Imago can be kileld by just 2 attacks from the turntable.


Name: LEECH MAN
Occurence: The Hive
The leech man gets annoying quickly.After you've picked your first handgun he'll chase you from room to room via the available ventilation holes.Do not attack him or waste ammo on him since you can't defeat him in a conventional way.In order to beat him you have to lure him into the B2 level and burn him down to pieces with the high temperature facility.Beating him is essential for your progress but your partners may also become the leech man/woman.They're just as bad and can't be beaten in any way.


Name: GIANT LEECH
Occurence: The Hive
The next menace from "The Hive" level can as usual be beaten with ordinary weaponry. It's recommended though.There are two other possibilities.You can lure it under a valve handle in order to take it down by shooting at the handles at the ceiling.If this doesn't work for you or you just in case you run out of ammo you can lure it back to your start point.Get back up and start kicking it untilit falls.You may face a struggle with your viral outbreak though since this is quite time consuming.


Name: FEMALE LICKER
Occurence: Hellfire
The female transformation of the lickers hangs down from the ceiling and attacks you with its huge tongue whenever you come close.Keep a certain distance and start firing at it
untilit falls.Use the alarm to get the other lickers away from you.On higher difficulties this may get tedious since the other lickers steadiliy reappear.Shoot a few but concentrate on the female licker in that case.

Name: TYRANT-R
Occurence: Decisions,Decisions
You'll face the Tyrant TWICE this time around.The first time you should gather all types of weaponry around and make us eof them to blast him around.You shoudl also be able to find the Rocket Launcher which is of great help in this fight.Be aware of his jumps and his giant arm attacks.You have enough space so make use of that too.
In the second fight you should take the Injection Gun from the tank and load it up with your Daylight Item.Shooz him once and he'llf all.You could still blast him with oyur other weapons though (not recommended).


III. - 1. - Weapons
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FIREARMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Knife
-----
Found: The Knife can be found in every scenario.
Ammo: -
Suggested use are merely zombies.Nearly useless anyway.Better grab some Melee Weapons.They have a longer range.David also has a Knife in his inventory from the start which he can use to stab the enemy twice which is not bad.


Handgun
-------
Found: The Handgun can be found in every scenario.
Ammo: 9mm Parabellum Rounds.
There are actually 2 types of Handguns.The first one supposedly is a Beretta
which 15 bullets in a single clip and the second type only holds 13 bullets.Either gun is pretty effective against nearly every creature.Mark also starts with a Handgun in his inventory.


Handgun SG
----------
Found: The Hive,Night Reception 1F (EASY/NORMAL)
The Hive,Roof,Policeman (HARD)
Ammo: 9mm Parabellum Rounds.
This gun can fire 3 bullets at once and is pretty strong.You can only find in scenario 3 by the fire in the night reception when playing on EASY or NORMAL. The weapon can hold up to 20 bullets.


Shotgun
-------
Found: The Shotgun can be found in every scenario.
Ammo: Shotgun Bullets
The next classic weapon.The Shotgun offers everything you might want to blast your enemies away.While it ammo is not necessary scarce it only becomes effective
when use at close range.Keep that weapon away from AI partners.They'll waste the ammo quickly.David may also find a broken one which he can repair with his tools.


Colt
-----
Found: Outbreak,Street Alley before the mall by a window opposing the Blue Herb
Outbreak,Street Alley in the police van (EASY)
Ammo: Magnum Bullets
The Colt is pretty useful when descending to the main street.It can be loaded only once on
EASY MODE


.45 Handgun
-----------
Found: Kevins weapon from the start
Ammo: .45 Bulltes
The .45 Handgun is pretty good for every situation.Neither is it really bad neither totally good and mind blowing.I would suggest using this weapon only when there's nothing else
left in Kevins inventory.Aim and wait for him to prepare a precise shot.That should always be enough to keep away one or two zombies.Using this on bigger enemies works well though.


Magnum
------
Found: Below Freezing Point,B5F Passway of Area B,by the corpse (YOKO)
Ammo: -Found only by Yoko this Magnum holds up to 5 Bullets and has no other bullets
for you left in the game.This gun blows nearly everything away with a single shot.Save it up for your G-Imago fight. To get it, interact with the corpse in the laboratory on B5 with Yoko to get it.


Sub Machine Gun
---------------
Found: The Hive, Rooftop (EASY),Policeman
Ammo: 9mm Parabellum Rounds
Only found on easy difficulty this weapon does a pretty decent job in substituting your ordinary handguns.It can hold up to 30 bullets at a single time.Does a good job against every enemy in the 3rd scenario.


Grenade Launcher
----------------
Found: Hellfire,Room 30#
Ammo: Grenade Rounds
Yet another classic weapon.The Grenade Launcher can be loaded with as much Rounds as you want since it gets reloaded after every single shot.You can only load it with plain
simple rounds this time around though.


Assault Rifle
-------------
Found: The Hive,Roof,
Decisions,Decisions, Old Subway Rail
Decisions,Decisions, Old Subway Rail Car
Decisions,Decisions, 1F Passage Elevator Locker (EASY)
Ammo: Assault Rifle Clip
The Assault Rifle makes up for a pretty decent experience.It can hold up to 30 bullets and can only be foudn twice in the game.Use a First Aid Spray onto the policeguy on the Roof in
The Hive scenarion (aim down) or simply get it in the Train when searching for the V-Poison capsule.TheRifle does well against zombies and the like and decent against bigger enemies.


Rocket Launcher
---------------
Found: Decisions,Decisions, Unloading Pasage
Ammo: -
Just like in every other Resident Evil game the Rocket Launcher makes an appearance in the "Take this and kill the Tyrant" pattern.This time again you should take it and kill the tyrant off with it.It's pretty strong and does the highest ammount of damage.


Injection Gun
-------------
Found: Decisions,Decisions, Front Square on the tank
Ammo: Daylight Found in the last room in the game,use this weapon and load it up
with your Daylight.Shoot the Tyrant only ONCE with it to take him down.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
MELEE WEAPONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Scrub Brush
-----------
Found: In nearly every scenario
Weak "weapon".But you can shove away a few zombies anyway.The range is still better than any Knife found in the game.The Scrub Brush gets broken very quickly.It becomes a WOODEN POLE and a PILE OF WOOD afterwards.


IRON PIPE
--------------
Found: In every scenario
IRON PIPEs do a decent ammount of damage when compared to other Melee weapons.David can combine pipes with batteries and stones to form even stronger weapons.Pipes do a good job
until they crumble.They become BEND IRON PIPES when overused and in the end can be thrown at enemies.


Crutch
---------
Found: The Hive scenario
Only found in scenario 3 this weapons makes up for stupid looking experience.It's pretty useless and gets broken quite easy.Still a good range when compared to the Knife.The crutch gets broken just as easy as other melee weapons and becomes a PILE OF WOOD.


--------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER WEAPONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Pesticde Spray
--------------

Found: In nearly every scenraio
We're doing progress ;).The spray has a good range whil still pretty close.It gets really effective when combined to a Fire Spray with a Lighter by David with the help of his tools.Anyway good enough to kill one or two enemies.

Bottles with Acid
-----------------
Found: Below Freezing Point
Found only in the second scenario I woudl recommend using them against the zombies and the hunters.Both turn out to be at least decent.Be careful when enemies are close.You might throw it and it may not hit them.

Bottles with Flame
------------------
Found: Below Freezing Point
Or Molotov Cocktail.Your choice anyway.Just like the acid bottles they do a good ammount of damge and their use is just like these ones.

Molotov Cocktails
-----------------
Better then the other bottles in any sense since they cover a lot of ground.They come in handy especially on HARD/VERY HARD when playing the Outbreak scenario.To form them you'll need: ALCOHOL BOTTLES + RACCON TODAY = BOTTLE WITH RACCON TODAY Then use a LIGHTER to from 5 of these.

DIARY OF BAR'S STAFF
