Resident Evil 2: 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

11. Board Up Specific Windows To Take On Crowded Rooms Easier

A new mechanic for the remake, you'll find wooden boards all over the place. The game really doles them out fast in the opening, and you'll be tempted to block every window you come across that has anything zombified on the other side.

As a better use of these boards, wait until you're trapped in specific rooms or challenging scenarios where you can tell a stream of enemies is coming from an identifiable source.

I had a situation where - upon entering a large room full of desks - three zombies were all activated and shambling towards me, as another two were outside, about to enter. Rather than dump ammo into the former, I made a beeline for the window, boarded that up and then set about finishing the others off.

Thinking of wooden boards as a tactical consideration than a immediately disposable resource should help in the long run.
