Craving Chicago Typewriter? How to Unleash Bullet Hell in RE4 (Without Crying About Pesetas)
Ah, the Chicago Typewriter. The weapon of legends, the bane of Ganados, the dream of every ammo-conserving player in Resident Evil 4. This minigun chews through enemies like a typewriter through a particularly juicy novel. But how do you get your hands on this glorious firepower? Well, fret no more, my trigger-happy friend, for this guide will turn you into a walking (and shooting) apocalypse... eventually.
Beating the Game: The First Hurdle (and Not the Last)
First things first, you gotta conquer the main story. Think of it as Resident Evil 4 Boot Camp. You'll learn the art of dodging lickers, the joy of strategically placing bear traps (because who doesn't love a good exploding zombie surprise?), and the ever-important lesson: never underestimate the healing power of a well-placed herb.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Saving Up Takes Time)
Congratulations, you've beaten the game! Now for the not-so-fun part: becoming a temporary penny-pincher. That's right, the Chicago Typewriter costs a cool 1,000,000 pesetas. That's enough to buy a village in this zombie-infested wasteland (or at least a lifetime supply of healing herbs).
Here's the Fun Part (Unless You Hate Grinding)
Now you have a choice, my friend. You can:
- Become a Merchant Master: Remember all those knick-knacks you picked up along the way? Rusty shotguns? Fish you caught (because why not)? Sell. It. All. The merchant might judge you for pawning off a rusty spoon, but hey, a million pesetas is a million pesetas.
- Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire: The world of RE4 is littered with hidden goodies. Bust open every crate, examine every corner, and unleash your inner Indiana Jones. Those shiny jewels hidden around the castle? Cash. Money. Profit.
- Enemy Eradicator: Let's be honest, some villagers just aren't making the cut in the zombie apocalypse. (Harsh, I know, but hear me out!) Take down some Ganados and lickers, then head back to the merchant to collect your bloody bounty. Just remember, this strategy might make you question your moral compass (but hey, desperate times...).
The Glorious Payoff (and Maybe a New Outfit)
After all that penny-pinching and monster-slaying, you've finally amassed your fortune! Now, head on over to the merchant and prepare to unleash a torrent of bullets. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility (and a slightly lighter wallet). But hey, who needs fancy clothes when you have a Chicago Typewriter, right?
Bonus Tip: Alternative RE4 Playthroughs
If you're feeling particularly adventurous (and want the Chicago Typewriter a little sooner), consider playing Separate Ways as Ada. Beating this mode unlocks the Typewriter for a much more reasonable price (though still a hefty chunk of change).
So there you have it! With a little dedication (and maybe a questionable moral compass), you too can wield the Chicago Typewriter and become a one-man (or woman) army against the forces of evil (or at least some very hungry villagers). Now go forth and unleash bullet hell! Just make sure to leave some ammo for the rest of us.
