Typewriter Terror: Unleashing Lead Rain on Professional in the RE4 Remake? You Betcha!
Ah, the Chicago Typewriter. That beautiful monstrosity that chews through Ganado hordes like a lawnmower on high gear. But can you bring this bullet-spewing beast to the party on a Professional difficulty run in the spiffy new RE4 remake? Buckle up, because we're about to unload the truth, faster than you can say "bingo."
Hold Your Horses, There's a Catch (But It Ain't a Licker)
Now, before you go John Wick on every villager who even thinks about grabbing a pitchfork, there's a wrinkle in the plan. The Chicago Typewriter, along with its ammo-hungry comrades like the Infinite Rocket Launcher, are locked away in the replay modes. That's right, you gotta beat the game at least once before you can unleash these overpowered toys.
But fear not, Punisher wannabes! This doesn't mean you're stuck plinking Ganados with a pea shooter on Professional. The remake offers plenty of ways to sharpen your survival skills and become a one-man (or woman) army.
Mastering the Art of the Merchant: Your Key to (Almost) Unlimited Dakka
The Merchant, that greasy, lovable purveyor of overpriced goods, is your best friend on Professional. Every bullet counts, so honing your resource management skills is crucial. Here's the lowdown:
- Upgrade wisely: Focus on firepower upgrades for your starting pistol and shotgun. A well-maintained boomstick can be your best friend against early enemies.
- Knife it Up: That humble knife is more than just a fancy letter opener. Master knife combat to conserve ammo and score stylish (and sometimes hilarious) instant kills.
- Treasure Every Shiny Object: Every sparkling trinket you find can be sold to the Merchant for precious cash. Don't be shy about scavenging every corner – those extra bullets might just save your hide from a chainsaw-wielding maniac.
So, When Can You Unleash the Typewriter? Here Comes the BOOM!
Once you've conquered the game on a lower difficulty and unlocked the Chicago Typewriter, you absolutely can use it on a Professional playthrough. Here's the real question: Should you?
- The Fun Police Might Arrest You (Just Kidding... Mostly): The Typewriter turns Professional into a cakewalk. The challenge is part of the thrill, so using it might take away some of the satisfaction.
- But Hey, It's Your Game! If you just want to mow down Ganados with impunity and relive the power fantasy, go for it! There's no shame in a little stress relief with a side of excessive firepower.
Ultimately, the choice is yours, Agent Leon. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and a hefty ammo bill). Now get out there and show those Ganados what real firepower looks like!
