-Is there any difference between Hard mode on the Japanese version of the PC port to the Nightmare version on Dreamcast?-I noticed you can get headshots on Hard mode, is that present in Nightmare mode?-if you upgrade the Matilda can you still get headshots?-Is the only hard thing about Hard/Nightmare mode that enemies are bullet sponges? Do they do more damage or are items different?
They're the same thingThe only that differs between the 2 versions is that in Japan "original" is the JP version and "arrange" is US version but in the western releases it's the contrary
The hardest RE2 is Nightmare mode Claire on B scenario.
>>12181705Why?
>>12181830Not that Anon, but Leon is OP on Hard compared to Claire because of the shotgunThe reason being that on Hard, zombies have a ridiculous amount of HP but aiming the shotgun up basically ignores their HP and still decaps them in one shellMeanwhile it takes Claire multiple grenade launcher rounds to kill a single zombie
>>12182014You can instakill zombies with Claire too. Just aim on their legs with the Bowgun or with regular Grenade rounds. Then just leave the room and they’ll despawn. It’s not as easy as getting headshots with the Shotgun, but it makes Claire's scenario a lot easier.
>>12182140>legs>leave the room and they’ll despawndoes that apply to all the other RE games where you can blow off legs?
>>12181346did you consider asking chatgpt before killing a thread?
>>12182150If I'm not mistaken, that’s the case.
>>12182150I can't speak for anything past the original 3 but yes it also is for other games
>>12182154>>12182206Valuable information for future playthroughs then. i was still under the impression that they'd just get their health reset after leaving the area
>>12182152Looked all over and no one knows if an upgraded Matlida gets rid of headhots with handgun
>>12183423It doesn't.
>>12183468Sweet
>>12182150Remake does it so I think it applies to them all
>>12182250That doesn’t happen because when you blow up a zombie's legs with the Shotgun or Grenade Launcher or down them with arrows in the legs the game considers their health to have already dropped to 0, even though they can still bite your ankles if you get too close to their heads.
>>12182140desu I always forget about shooting their legs out. You can also decapitate zombies with Claire's explosive rounds but it's weird and not exactly reliable. I've done it by accident in the west hallway that's jam packed with them. I think you have to aim up from a distance and kind of arc the grenades into them. It blows their head and torso apart like Leon's super shotgun if you do it just right.
>>12184934Yeah, not very reliable (even blowing their legs with explosive rounds isn’t guaranteed, just use Bowgun arrows on their knees if you have ammo). In RE3 you can decapitate zombies with a GL the same way you do with a shotgun, it’s way easier.
>>12182014Claire's GL is way more overpowered. Plus you can give Claire both of the optional upgrades in the B scenario by not taking them as Leon A.
>>12186734Normally it's strong, but we're talking about the DC and PC exclusive Hard mode here, in which the shotgun is OP against zombies
>>12181346Are there any mods for this on PC where you can change costumes for leon and Claire? I've seen a Chris one but can't find it anymore
Playing as Claire sucks.
>>12181346So is there any point in killing zombies on Hard? I feel if they are in your way to shoot them but if not just try running past them all the time
>>12190026that's just a general survival horror rule, at least for the first hour or so
