>Not using the TMP after saving all the ammo you've found before each boss fight and just wrecking shit.

TMP doubters are some of the scummiest players.

Is the TMP viable mid-end game? I'm at 4-2 in the mines and wondering if I should make some space, it still seems useful especially in a panic.

>>376058913
Keep the TMP and Get rid of your Pistol.
No matter which one it is.

>>376059047
Red 9 is better tho

>>376057884

I always used that free rpg on the right hand sewer boss. I have never actually played that boss the way it was ment to be played.

>>376058913

Absolutely. It's a DPS monster when fully upgraded.

>>376059047
I can't get rid of my pistol, the bond I've forged w/ the Red 9 is not something to take lightly, it'll be like getting rid of my dog.

>>376059150
No, it's not.

It looks cool and it's pretty powerful, but the TMP has no downsides late-game since what it lacks in power it makes up for in DPS and having 250 rounds before reloading.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Red 9.
It's actually my favorite gun irl.

>>376058913
>>376059047

TMP is based. I use it for crowd control situations. It is also really cheap and common ammo so you can easily hit ganado to face and follow up with melee. no reason not to have it.

Your loadout should be red9 + riot shotgun + tmp + sniper.

>>376057884
I always use it to cheese the 2 garradors before Salazar.

Why do you keep the riot shotgun?

>>376059847
The water room is tough, but if you have ammo and hide in that one corner, you should be good.

Go for headshots and kicks for crowd control. If you can't, spare some Shotgun rounds instead.

>>376059847

What room is that? I always use the free launcher from the glass case.

TMP is like the best weapon in the game. It's more ammo efficient than even the pistol for melee/knifing and when you're in a pinch you can just hose down dudes.

I wonder what it would be like to do a playthrough where you just sell your pistol and replace it entirely with the TMP.

>>376059847
>>376060031
Hardest stretch of the game for me is the entire part between the cabin siege and fighting Mendez. I always come out of that part of the game more ammo starved than any other. But then again I always fight both the chainsaw sisters and the optional Gigante so I can finish that mask or whatever.

I'm sorry, I meant that I'd prefer the water room to the room before Salazar w/ the garradors. And that the latter is always kicking my ass, not the water room.

TMP is a meme gun, use a modded Red 9 until you get the Blacktail. The only machinegun you'll want down the line is the Chicago Typewriter.

It was a all-treasures speed run too. Finished the game in under 4 hours.

>>376060537
>all-treasures speed run in 4 hours

shut the fuck up

I got this for the first time right after it came out in 2005 and I remember just quitting the game and put it down for years when Leon lost his jacket and I realized I couldn't get it back.

I was a spazz when I was younger.

>>376058913
I like it, loads of free ammo too if you upgrade it when empty.

Are you saying it's impossible? Most treasure is on the way. It's not often you have to go out of your way for them.

Also, I made sure to not put the treasures together so they're all just sitting there separately.

>>376060917
We've been here. Square up, nigga.

>>376060973
I mean I used to do it in 9 hours as a 12 year old without any sort of guidance than my own, so I guess no it probably is pretty possible, I got pretty good at running through the game when I was trying to get the infinite rocket launcher

>>376060342
Done it multiple times. The worst part is seeing how much free hand gun ammo you are missing out on. I swear they give you around 5000 rounds.

>>376060916
You mean assignment ada?

What are the best tips for re4? these are what I could think of

> buying capacity upgrade causes ammo to in gun to reset. abuse this on weapons like the broken butterfly to get more of the rare magnum ammo

> you can kill fish in the water and get a dead fish which you can eat to heal.


also, I was playing the game a while ago and learned that you can actually go through both areas right after the cabin fight with Luis. You can fight both the el gigante boss and the chainsaw guys if you just go back around.

>>376057884
I use it on verdugo cause it's my least favorite fight. Fighting verdugo will take you a shitton of ammo, a fair bunch of herbs unless you know what you're doing and is kinda stressful because of the million QTEs.

Verdugo also drops a treasure worth about 40k when you combine it with the salazar crown, which is much more than the sell price of a rocket launcher (15k) so I dont feel too bad using it on him. I can beat him no problem but I prefer losing 15k than having no ammo and missing health consumables after the fight.

>>376061467
Playing on professional makes dealing with mobs easier because their aggressive ai makes it easier to avoid their hits. They'll try to "predict" when you run towards them, so you can just tap the sprint button somewhat close to them and they'll try to attack, allowing you to run past them easily.

>>376061283
Yeah. I beat RE4 a few times a year and at least one of them is a speedrun every time.

My fastest was ~3h40

>>376059456
it's pretty easy though.

might be wrong but I remember having a way to basically bait the garrador at the entrance of the room first (head shot one normal dude from a corner of the entrance zone), then once they're near you, run up the stairs and use your shotgun to clear as many cultists as you can. Then use the leftover bells to fuck with the garradors.

I've used the red9 and riot shotgun pretty much just the whole game without significant problems, and I'm about to fight Salazar (I assume, I just did the part where you have to fight 2 wolverines at once) will this loadout be ok for the rest of the game?

>>376058913
I never used the magnum. I love the TMP and it always kicked ass.

>>376061759
Doesn't that also happen on normal? I always do that to bait enemies for an easier knifing.

>>376061467
Knife krauser. It does a rediculous amount of dammage. The final bonus upgrade for guns also fully reloads ammo. Kill all the flying bugs and then shoot the nest down for tons of gems. Salazar goes down with one rocket. Freeze the right hand and then blast with rocket for a one hit kill and cool death explosion. When you first get to the village, run all the way to the path that would go to the farm, there's a chain saw guy that has a large ruby.

>>376060428

literally a retard. If you had stopped at Red9, everything would be fine but advising people to get the blacktail over Red9 is objectively wrong.

Why get a handgun more suited for spraying if TMP is an infinitely superior spraying gun? If going meta, it's either the TMP or Red9, everything else falls short.

I beat Professional for the first time, the other day. I didn't even realise that Incendiary Grenades were effective on him. I was saving them all for the Colmillos in the Castle's hedge maze, but I had eight by the time I got there.

>>376057884
On Easy, sell it.
On Normal, consider selling it or perhaps using it as I would on Professional.
On Professional, use it against the Verdugo in the 4-1 sewers. Freeze it with the canisters and then fire one rocket at it for a 1-hit kill.

Eh, I don't hate the TMP, I just don't personally enjoy it. It's definitely a very mechanically sound weapon, and has its uses, but it's just not one I find fun to play. I'd argue the Minethrower is objectively worse, but I find it a lot more fun, and use it instead.

Uh, excuse me. Sir?

>>376057884
salazar

>>376057884
On normal? Shouldn't need any unless Vertigo is that tough for you (make sure he's nitrogen'd).

Or professional? At least Vertigo/Salazar and each boss onwards. Especially Krauser, he'll kick your ass good at first.

You're small time

>>376059448
I agree with this except Striker>Riot Gun. The shorter range is not a major drawback at all, since you should only be using it point blank anyway, and the extra damage, and 100 free rounds+Storage space saved, is a huge upgrade.
Also Ditman glitch is super fun.

>>376059150
red9 is only good the first time you play the game

on pro its damage is meaningless and the pistol becomes good for staggering for melee hits.

The default pistol is the best pistol on pro / when you're actually familiar with the game.

>>376062125

> when you first get to the village, run all the way to the path that would go to the farm, there's a chain saw guy that has a large ruby.

The very first village the very first time you go there? is this a different chainsaw guy compared to when you go inside the house and the cutscene plays?

Also, you need to leave and go back in the room to get the money from that trapped el gigante. It will spawn in the middle of the room.

They actually fixed that in the recent ports, you only get the money if you kill him without the lava.

cont.

>the red9 does the most damage of all pistols and therefore is the most efficient. The default handgun's special upgrade makes you make more headshots, but this is arguably a bad upgrade since later in the game it'll spawn lots of head plaguas. Blacktail can be considered if you like piercing shots, but the lower damage and the fact a shotgun basically does the same job better makes it arguable.
>you can actually see invisible novistadors. Stand still and you'll see them drooling like retards in the sewers
>the tmp is objectively the strongest bullet based weapon. It has the ability to near permastun and does a truck load of damage. Use it on el gigantes or other bosses to see what I mean. It's also the cheapest ammo to use for single bullet utility cases like shooting small pieces of wood, birds, knee shots, trap triggers and such.

more like everything after the castle

I don't get people who hate the castle. It's equally comfy if not just more challenging. Nigga there's a goddamn roller coaster in it and a even a beautiful garden.

Alright, TMPniggas. Convince me.

Ever since my first playthrough of Resident Evil 4, I've stuck by the combination of:
Red9 for generic combat and lone Plagas (I only use Flash Grenades if I can get more than 1 Plaga to show at a time)
Striker for close encounter.
Semi-Auto Rifle for those few sniping sections, Garradors, JJ's, shielded enemies and the Regeneradors (and Iron Maidens).
Broken Butterfly as a panic mode against bosses I really don't like (The Verdugo, U-3 and Osmund Saddler)

Which of these should be replaced by the TMP in my next run?

>>376063745
they're great rooms what are you talking about

challenging sure, but they're very well designed imo.

The one room I find retarded in the castle is the one with the temporarily invincible red cultist with the fucking machine gun. Like what in the fuck was that. I think you can kill before but I clearly remember shooting him in the chest (he has the metal helmet on) like 10 times with the SAR and he wouldn't fucking die.

Do incendiaries actually do more damage against Mendez? I know they kill dogs instantly, which is why I save them for the hedge maze.

I always thought Verdugo was pretty easy, even on Professional.

>>376063486

What a shit fight.

>>376064105
Fully upgraded, it's a pocket shotgun. Put on the stock and it's good enough for precision work that would normally require a rifle.

I tried a fresh run with the starting pistol just to see what it's like. I hated it and the RNG nature of the 5x critical exclusive, so I sold it and bought the Red9 despite the money dump on the Pistol earlier.

>>376064184
Two scopes is fine, but there's really no reason to use a red9 stock unless you have Parkinson's

>>376064191
Because it required one person constantly spewing fire while the other guy shoot the glowing tentacle bulbs, and the AI/randos are shit at following instructions.

>>376064390
Leon does have Parkinson's and I hate it. The more I can reduce the cursor shake the better.

>>376064105

It's the most powerful handgun fully upgraded at 16 damage iirc. Plus it's got a sexy reload animation

>>376064191
This motherfucker has way too much health to get through to see the bulbs. Incendiary grenades guarantee they show up, but it takes a decade to get them to show with the flamethrower.

Ashley

>>376064191
They wanted to drag out the fight by making you wait for the flamethrower to recharge.

>>376056446
I think he was the hardest boss I fought. Mobs are the hardest part of the game, especially when a dynamite ganado drops down beside you. Although I never really fought the Gigante as I always used an RPG against it because I couldn't be fucked fighting it.

>>376064390
I'll try a bit of gameplay without the Red9 stock later and see how I fare. I first played it on the Gamecube, but I now play it on PC. I expect my aim will be much better on the PC (regardless of how shaky Leon's aim is).

>>376064191

now I want to play RE5. I have not touched it in years. RE6 had so much promise, but they got rid of the weapon upgrades and instead did some stupid shit about character perks or something.
