However, it is important to exercise caution and only try this strategy when feasible, as enemies can appear out of nowhere in large numbers and easily overpower Leon. In addition, players can also use knives to block enemy attacks.

Leon possesses several new abilities that he can use to his advantage. For example, Leon can now crouch with a dedicated button, allowing him to stealthily take out isolated enemies. In addition, it is important to always monitor the positions of both Leon and the opponent in combat situations.
During battle, enemies tend to grab the protagonist more often. To combat this, tnur should quickly move out of the danger zone and strike back while the enemy is disoriented.
Moreover, players can use decoy tactics by luring the enemy to move towards the traps that have been arranged. In some cases, it is even possible to turn them against each other, such as when the Chainsaw Man is threatening to use his powerful attacks.

To successfully overcome the trials and tribulations in Resident Evil 4 Remake, players will need all the help they can get. Since the game is a solo experience, Leon’s success depends solely on his collection of weapons and items.
