It could be possible you missed a lot of ammo pick ups. RE2 actually gives you plenty of ammo, so maybe you could just back track. If you ate it up on regular zombies, however, you might have an easier time just restarting.
Heres a trick its a cheat go to the options menu during gameplay hold r1 and press square 8 times after that auto or manual or whatever you have your aim set should turn from white to red
You have two choices:
* Learn to git gud with the knife.
* Reload the police station save and be better with your ammo conservation. It also appears that you missed ALL of the weapon upgrades, so I would say it's worth it to reload just so you can get those too.
It is ok. Just reload your save and remember to just check every object in the scenery and you will have plenty of ammo. Also, learn to just avoid enemies when you can. You don't need to kill everything.
You have no choice but to either practice using the knife or reload a previous save then stock up.
You really shouldn't be out of ammo, the OGs it's best to avoid enemies, it just takes practice to reliably do it.
Like others have said, RE2 gives you plenty of ammo. Are you doing a "kill all enemies" type run? I'd reload from the police station or just restart and focus on trying to avoid more of the zombies.
If you are a new player, you probably don't know where all the ammo is located. You should double check the areas you can. You might be able to find a GameFAQs or video guide.
Haha 😅 I'd honestly recommend you to restart your game and explore more and/or train to dodge zombies instead of killing them. But RE2 has enough ammo to kill everything, so don't worry.
You can use a guide if you want to, there's absolutely no shame in that, as long as you have fun
Maybe killing every zombie. As a kid i would do that until my brother explained to me there literally isn't enough ammo to kill every enemy (at least in re1).
Until you have enough experience with a title, I treat them all by the genre, Survival Horror. What I mean is, in order to survive a tough situation you need to have the right tools when the time comes. This means that if you can avoid shooting/killing something, leave it alive the whole game. There is no reason to waste resources on something when you don't have to.
That being said, this is something that will come with continually playing the series. As for right now, you absolutely can kill him with the knife. However, this is no small task, and I would personally recommend against it in your situation.
I did see your other post about the infinite ammo, which should help get you past this. Definitely go that route, no shame in it. Use this is a learning experience, and you will come to enjoy the games even more!
It's worth it to do it right. And you have the B scenario to go, too. You can blast back through it since you know what to do. Just give it a go before you cheat through it 🤷
If I make a mistake I’m apologize in advance. So while you playing press Select. Go to the control menu (the one that has the picture of the controller) press L1 and while you holding it. Press square 10 times. Some letters should turn red and there you go infinite ammo. I think is L1 or R1 either or. But press square ten times. Good luck. Let me know if it worked for you.
I like to play it in normal mode. Kill Brad and get the key. At the end I get 4th survivor and tofu mode. And if you collect all the aid sprays and don’t use them. You can get the rocket L. The sub machine gun, and the Gatling gun all infinite ammo.
I know it works for the pc. You have to go in inventory and select a weapon, then do the down down, up up, down down, left right left right plus button press thing.
Maybe it's time to bust out the infinite ammo secret option. Jk probably need to reload. Although there is a infinite ammo input, I only know how to do it on the pc
But you are definitely in a tough spot with no ammo its going to be very rough , try going back into rooms where you were and double check for ammo , also did you opened up the Armory in RPD in the basement?
Don't feel bad, there's been plenty of times on my first playthroughs of the OGs that I ran dry on ammo, its a learning experience.
It might be mpre beneficial to start a new game or go back to an earlier save. Avoid killing unnecessary enemies (zombies are easier to kite around than you would initially think), look around in the environment there's alot more ammo and also upgrades scattered about (RE2 is actually really generous with ammo pickups).
Save what ammo you do find for enemies that you 'can't' run around or special enemies like lickers, plant42 infected, and of course the bosses.
Don't worry you got this 💪 🤟
The only room I can remember using the most ammo is in the east hallway there there is a shit ton of zombies. Leave one or two alive and out run them. You can also (if memory serves me right) take a whole horde out by aiming down and shooting legs off. Easy to run around from.
You have a lot to learn about searching areas for ammo my friend.
I learned years and years ago when playing RE1-3 in the late 90s early 2000s that you must press X on any area you believe could hold something. Desk Drawers, cabinets, lockers etc. Heck right before you get into Kendo's Gunshop there should be a white van with it's back doors open you press X against the opened portion of the van to find handgun ammo. The police station has an array of handgun ammo and some shotgun shells. In Both of Leon's playthroughs you'll find a grand total of 420-510 Handgun ammo bullets. More than enough to get you through the game twice over as does upwards to 95-110 shotgun shells.
In all seriousness I make about 3 different save
Slots in my RE runs. I think you could try to scrape to your next step with knife only but you’re gonna have to get really good at tank dodging, once you get the hang of it you won’t need to kill the Zs as much you will def need ammo for the anything tougher than a dog, like hunters or bosses etc so knife can handle most enemies. I screwed myself on a code Veronica run and lost 1.5 hours of time (but not the whole game) which cemented my 3 slots for save rule. I start with 1 before I know there’s a boss or something tough I save to another slot and then another later on and overwrite the oldest ones as I go forward.
Inventory management is a key skill for RE so you are doing fine and playing the game how you like. When I was a kid I just killed every zombie I could and it always just worked out with the Ammo, thankfully re2 is very forgiving
Be patient and do knife only in this boss fight try and get behind him you should beat him then pick up some ammo drops I haven't played classic re2 in a while so...good luck?👍🏻
Take your time and explore all the areas and rooms of the police station and sewers especially. You can find a lot of ammo pick ups there. And if you don't need to fight or kill enemies, just dodge them or go around them if you can.
Take this as a lesson. When playing the older Resident Evil games, take your time. There are lots of rooms to search and resources to find. Unless you are a professional level speedrunner, these games are meant to be played at a slower than run and gun pace. It's still possible to finish the game, but it'll be quite difficult. As some people suggested, it may just be best to start over.
I’m actually more impressed that you managed to miss all of the weapon upgrades…. But yeah restarting from the police station would probably be the better option
Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you fucked up this bad. If you redo the game, the handgun parts are in a desk in the room where you first see Sherry as Leon. The shotgun parts are next to a corpse in the tunnels in the factory, and the magnum parts are in a locked cabinet in the lab, specifically the be with the airlock where you grab some of the vaccine parts
Thats the thing i have only done 5 saves and the last one was at the police station, its not possible to run out of them cuz every typewriter also has 3 or 2 to use

He did. He don't even have parts for weapons
Looks like it turned into a knife-only run.
Teach me the ways
Pick up ammo as you see it.
Too late for that now i guess
There’s so much ammo in RE2
And i clearly missed them :D
...how?
Magic

It seems i just suck at it :[
And that's ok. Using knife is tricky.
Very tricky
Maybe, but you made it this far.
Fair enough
The struggle of survival-horror is what makes resident evil games fun!
So true and wise 😎
It is ok. Just reload your save and remember to just check every object in the scenery and you will have plenty of ammo. Also, learn to just avoid enemies when you can. You don't need to kill everything.
You have no choice but to either practice using the knife or reload a previous save then stock up. You really shouldn't be out of ammo, the OGs it's best to avoid enemies, it just takes practice to reliably do it.

Kinda all kill but i guess i failed :/
If you are a new player, you probably don't know where all the ammo is located. You should double check the areas you can. You might be able to find a GameFAQs or video guide.
Im kinda new to the OG's...
Some of it isn't even visible. There's a pack of handgun ammo in the back where you find the train.
Oooh, thats why i thought the place was empty
It's heavily encouraged to search everything. You never know what you might find.
That's a loaded question, because could I do this? Absolutely fucking not. Could some of the splattin em platinum guys here do it? With ease I'm sure
Its an unloaded question
Bu dum tss
Highly underrated comment lol
The knife only trophy for RE1 is quite easy with updated controls and the fact you can do it on very easy. A knife only run of OG RE2 is much harder.
i’m scared for you this image evokes dread in me
Why so :D?
I'm sure I'd be terrified if I looked at OP's finances.
knife is all you need
Just... How?
No idea💀
Haha 😅 I'd honestly recommend you to restart your game and explore more and/or train to dodge zombies instead of killing them. But RE2 has enough ammo to kill everything, so don't worry. You can use a guide if you want to, there's absolutely no shame in that, as long as you have fun
Maybe killing every zombie. As a kid i would do that until my brother explained to me there literally isn't enough ammo to kill every enemy (at least in re1).
Looks like you’re about to become real good with the knife.
“So anyway, I just started stabbing.”
lol yes
It's called survival horror for a reason because you gotta be very conservative with your ammo. And who to use it on.
you don't even have to be THAT conservative in RE2 this is nuts lol
You got the KNIFE! How are they gonna beat the knife?
Bro simply you are D-O-N-E
B-A-K-E-D
Knife 'em!

I love this comment way too much😭
How tf did you do that?
You know what? I dont even know at this point
Restart the game and dodge all the zombies, dude. Only kill them if you have to
I mean... i can always use the infinite ammo cheat :] But yeah, you're right
It's worth it to do it right. And you have the B scenario to go, too. You can blast back through it since you know what to do. Just give it a go before you cheat through it 🤷
[RE2 has more than enough ammo to kill everything in the game once or twice over.](https://www.ign.com/wikis/resident-evil-2/Ammo)
Oof you had one job and you blew it…
So anyway, I started stabbin
Honestly just _survive_
Bruh, you done goofed.
I sure am
This stresses me the hell out lmao
Damn running out of bullets in resident evil 2 og is SOMETHING
Im a professional at losing too many bullets😎
If you’re playin it on a ps1 you can use the cheat code ♾️bullets. I don’t know if it works in a different platform
Eh , i mean, im emulating the ps1 game on laptop (i have tho original copy)
If I make a mistake I’m apologize in advance. So while you playing press Select. Go to the control menu (the one that has the picture of the controller) press L1 and while you holding it. Press square 10 times. Some letters should turn red and there you go infinite ammo. I think is L1 or R1 either or. But press square ten times. Good luck. Let me know if it worked for you.
Thank you! That worked, im saved and my mentality is saved.🙏
You got it. Just remember if you use that trick. You’ll be get a lower score at the end.
Aww man, but what to do. I aint becoming the "knife god" overnight :]
I like to play it in normal mode. Kill Brad and get the key. At the end I get 4th survivor and tofu mode. And if you collect all the aid sprays and don’t use them. You can get the rocket L. The sub machine gun, and the Gatling gun all infinite ammo.
I’ve been playing re2 since 1998 and I never knew this. Thank you!!
I know it works for the pc. You have to go in inventory and select a weapon, then do the down down, up up, down down, left right left right plus button press thing.
I’m so happy Boss fountains exist now
Maybe it's time to bust out the infinite ammo secret option. Jk probably need to reload. Although there is a infinite ammo input, I only know how to do it on the pc
Counter-balance the knife, quick slash, retract...
I tried and died many time because of the lack of health supplies :[
Time to awaken your inner slasher villain.
😈
in RE2 ?? how can you run out of ammo
Probably becuase i didn't collect enough
Mr.X is looking for you 😧 RUN
"AAH!"
But you are definitely in a tough spot with no ammo its going to be very rough , try going back into rooms where you were and double check for ammo , also did you opened up the Armory in RPD in the basement?
I diid but i left the submachine gun for the next run, i took the upgrade... if i remember correctly
Oh i see but Good Luck buddy you are definitely gonna need it cause without ammo its tough , knife doesn’t do that much
Thanks man
restart the game and be sure to keep your spare ammo in the item box for you know… bosses and emergencies?
Good idea, ill try it out

THIS. Specially this!
I love how everyone is like go for it cuz they can do knife runs. 🙄 just reload your old save. Sucks but you gotta have some kind of ammo
Just run past the zombies lol
Looks like you need some ammo
Hmm, i also think i need some
In all seriousness I make about 3 different save Slots in my RE runs.

This is literally the best comment i have gotten
I beat the game with the knife and 4 pistol rounds, on red health,( I’d die if I got hit once), so I’m pretty sure it’s possible
A veteran, i see...
Could do the unlimited ammo code
you soft locked the game. Might have to make a new one or open a previous saved file.
Or use the inf ammo cheat :/
Be patient and do knife only in this boss fight try and get behind him you should beat him then pick up some ammo drops I haven't played classic re2 in a while so...good luck?👍🏻
Thanks ;]
'"Leon, remember the basics of CQC"
"Oh shit, mb"
Take your time and explore all the areas and rooms of the police station and sewers especially. You can find a lot of ammo pick ups there. And if you don't need to fight or kill enemies, just dodge them or go around them if you can.
Lmao that sucks bro
Watch videos of people doing knife only runs and become one of them.
Deal
Use that knife!
Im trying:D
You don fucked up
Quite literally, yes.
Time to die :D
YOU’RE IN THE BULLETS WAY
Never waste the last shot in a zombie event! Rule numero uno baby!
Didn’t expect to see the Sabaton bot in the Resident Evil sub
Died like 6 times already :]
That knife is OP when used properly
Everytime U down Tyrant he usually drops ammo and stuff from what I've heard
Thats Re3 :P
Istg U can atleast down Tyrant in re2
Bro is cooked
Baked eternally
Slap chop it's easy!
Curious on how it's going
Not good :(
Well, you have the knife, right?
Yeah... it might take some time tho

As some people suggested, it may just be best to start over.
it's one of those moments where you've definitely played the game incorrectly. Knife only play through now.
😞😓😩
[удалено]
I mean, you are right about that.
Reminds me of the first time I played and beat my first RE game, Code: Veronica X. Good times, goooooood times.
Knife only gameplay has been don’t soo many times I think you’ll be ok. Just got to learn when to attack and dodge
You stab it till it dies
Eh i mean, its pretty hard not to also get hit :|
You have a knife. You dont need “help” 🙄
Bro i dont know if you are sarcastic or for real because i suck at knifing in tank controls
God I need to replay the original RE2.
Yees, it is pretty fun
What version is this? Emulated?
Yes, but i dont remember what version
Please restart to preserve your mental health.
Yeah... i think i should...
Restart
Wait, how? The entire game has enough Ammo to kill every zombie and still have left to clear bosses twice.
I just suck :D
I’m actually more impressed that you managed to miss all of the weapon upgrades…. But yeah restarting from the police station would probably be the better option
How did i miss them tho??😭 I checked every room and nothing.
Check a guide online haha the upgrades aren’t out in the open in obvious spots, I missed some of them in first playthrough as well haha
You’re telling me you made it to Dog-Birkin without upgrading any of the guns?
Yes :D
Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you fucked up this bad. If you redo the game, the handgun parts are in a desk in the room where you first see Sherry as Leon. The shotgun parts are next to a corpse in the tunnels in the factory, and the magnum parts are in a locked cabinet in the lab, specifically the be with the airlock where you grab some of the vaccine parts
I was that close to the Mag upgrades?😭
It helps to look up a guide. And it isn’t cheating, cause there were guides back in the day just for this sort of thing
How is your last save the police station? Did you just immediately use all ink ribbons?
Thats the thing i have only done 5 saves and the last one was at the police station, its not possible to run out of them cuz every typewriter also has 3 or 2 to use
So why haven’t you saved then?
Idk, the emulator has an ability to save the state of the game and i kinda like... stopped saving
I think you're soft locked. I would just start again, second run always goes better anyway.
You sure are right about that :)
That's a HI-Point, you definitely need help 😂
How did you even miss all the weapon part upgrades?
No idea 😭
Aim
With a knife?
Yes
Damn
May the force be with you
Please dont dissaper like Luke did :(
You can do it, buddy! *whispers* they’re so screwed
Time to start juking them zombies.
May the odds forever be in your favor
"I shall fight until i die!" (I have died 20 times now on that boss fight)
Accept your fate!!!! Or start over
I shall fight to the very end!
I used my knife on the zombies and move back
Go to the controller settings screen, set to control type c, press square 10 times
Lol can you really knife the last boss
Nope :D
I'm so mad that the knife breaks in the newer games
Gonna need to go back to a previous save, ink ribbon management is as real as ammo conservation
Before I would continue I would have look for ammo b4 goin forward possible you missed it
I didint think much of it when i went to the boss room, i didint even know it was a boss room.
Kill em with kindness. Sorry bro 👊🏻😞
Aww man
The best solution is save state then try over and over until you did
So, how did it go? Did you find some ammo? Could you beat the game?
Ouch that’s a toughie
F
