Your friend's guide to beating the Forgotten Soldier in Resident Evil 2 (2019). Learn how to navigate the RPD and escape the horrors within.

Alright, so you've jumped into The Ghost Survivors and picked the Forgotten Soldier. This guy's a bit of a bruiser, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. It's mostly about sprinting and knowing when to use your limited ammo.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you get control, just book it forward. Those zombies in front of you? Don't waste your bullets trying to kill them all. Aim for their legs to knock 'em down and then just sprint past. Head through the door and keep running past all the burning zombies. You'll see an Item Dispenser – grab that Flash Grenade. Keep sprinting through the room, take down the couple of zombies directly in your path, and then climb up that ladder.
  2. 2
    At the top, you'll find another Item Dispenser. This time, grab the Lightning Hawk. Seriously, this magnum is your best friend here. Head through the next door and just sprint past all the zombies. You need to get to the lift. Keep running past them, and once you reach the Monitor Room, you'll see an Ivy. Give it a quick shot with the Lightning Hawk – just one shot is enough to stun it. This gives you just enough time to sprint past it and make it to the lift.
  3. 3
    You'll arrive in the Main Shaft. Again, your goal is to sprint. Get closer to the zombies and use that Flash Grenade you picked up earlier to stun them all. Then, hit that Ivy with the Lightning Hawk once more to stun it. Head through the door and sprint all the way to the head of the corridor. Just wait there for the next door to open.
  4. 4
    Once that door opens, sprint through, dodge any attacks from the G-Type Adults (they're nasty!), and make a beeline for the Cable Car. You've made it!
Tips
  • Ammo is super scarce, so use the Lightning Hawk only when absolutely necessary, like for stunning the Ivies or a tough group of zombies.
  • The Flash Grenade is your panic button. Use it when you're surrounded and need a quick escape.
  • Don't stop to fight unless you have to. Your main goal is to keep moving forward.
