Craving the Chicago Typewriter in RE4? How to Unleash Bullet Hell on Ganado Crowds
Ah, the Chicago Typewriter. The weapon of legends, the bane of Ganado hordes, the handheld embodiment of "I ain't got time for this." It's no surprise you're itching to get your hands on this glorious machine gun. But fear not, intrepid merchant-evading hero, for this guide will show you how to unlock the Chicago Typewriter and turn the tables on those pesky Las Plagas parasites.
Just a Chill Guy Looking to Mow Down Some Infected? Here's the Short Version:
-
Beat the game on Professional difficulty with an A-rank. This means blasting through the entire campaign in under 7 hours, all while being frugal with your ammo and saving like a madman. Easy, right? (Note the heavy sarcasm).
-
Alternatively, conquer Separate Ways on any difficulty. This bonus campaign puts you in the shoes of the enigmatic Ada Wong. While not quite as fast-paced as Leon's story, it offers a different perspective and a sweet reward at the end: the Chicago Typewriter...for Separate Ways only. But hey, baby steps!
Feeling More Like a Gaming Gladiator? Strap In for the Fun Way
Let's face it, Professional with an A-rank is no walk in the park. Unless your reflexes are inhuman and you have a personal vendetta against regenerating villagers, you might need a different strategy. Here's how to make things a little more, well, fun:
-
New Game Plus is Your Friend: Finished the game on a lower difficulty? Don't fret! New Game Plus lets you carry over your sweet, sweet arsenal and upgrades. Imagine blasting through the castle section with the broken butterfly knife and infinite rocket launcher. Leon S. Kennedy, monster hunter extraordinaire.
-
The Merchant: Not Your Buddy, But a Necessary Evil: Befriend this shady salesman. Stock up on flashbangs and grenades. Sell him all that useless treasure you've been hoarding (who needs a ruby when you have a hail of bullets?). Every penny counts towards that glorious Chicago Typewriter. Remember, it's all about supply and demand...and a whole lot of zombies.
-
Embrace the Cheese: Professional difficulty throws everything but the kitchen sink at you. Don't be afraid to exploit enemy AI quirks and safe spots. Knife that Ganado leader while he's stuck on a rock? Absolutely. Hide behind a conveniently placed crate while a regenerating giant chases you in circles? You bet your tactical fedora you do.
Finally Wielding the Chicago Typewriter: Turning Peasant into Paste
Congratulations, survivor! You've earned the right to unleash a torrent of lead upon the unsuspecting Ganado populace. Remember these golden rules:
-
This is a room clearer, not a sniper rifle. Get up close and personal. The Chicago Typewriter chews through enemies like a blender on puree.
-
Ammo isn't infinite (unless you get the special perk). But fear not! With careful planning and liberal application of explosives, you'll have more ammo than you know what to do with. Just don't get too trigger-happy.
-
Most Importantly, Have Fun! This game is all about the cheesy thrills and over-the-top action. So crank up the volume, unleash the Chicago Typewriter, and laugh maniacally as Ganado heads explode in a glorious symphony of violence. Leon may not approve, but who cares? You've got a date with destiny (and a whole lot of bullets).
