    Go down the fire escape and climb through another open window.

    When the zombies break through the fence, run over to Brad, keeping to the left to avoid getting chewed.

  14. 14
    Make your way through the alley where Jill will automatically grab the pistol from the dead cop.
  15. 15
    Afterwards, a zombie will come around the corner. Run away from it, duck under the sign that falls in your path and turn left into the next alley.
  16. 16
    Head through the door at the end into a warehouse. Ignore Dario Rosso as he shuts himself inside the container but pick up the Handgun Ammo (x7) on your way out.
  17. 17

    Head through the gate to the Safe Room.
  28. 28
    Open up the Item Box where you'll find any items you purchased waiting for you.
  29. 29
    Reactivate power at the substation: Head through the half-open shutter to the Raccoon City Streets.
  30. 30
    A zombie immediately appears in your gunsights so blow it into kingdom come.
  31. 31
    Head down the alley that the zombie emerged from and turn right.
  32. 32
    Continue into the next alley where there's a zombie on the ground feeding. While you take it out, another will emerge closer to you so switch targets.
  33. 33
    After eliminating them, head through the gate at the end to emerge in another street.
  34. 34
    Jog to the end of the street to have Carlos update your objectives. The alley that you need to go down is blocked by flames so turn around to see the zombies breaking down the fence. There are three of them.
Tips
  • The Infinite Rocket Launcher costs 62400P.
  • Farming 17000P for 80 MAG kills takes a few minutes.
  • You will need at least 70400P for the Infinite Rocket Launcher and two Assault Coins.
  • The Assault Coins are to bring Nemesis down.
  • If you have points left over, buy Hip Pouches (x2), Iron Defense Coins (x2), Recovery Coins (x2), and the S.T.A.R.S. Field Combat Manual.
  • Buying the Lock Pick and Bolt Cutters can help greatly in achieving S-Rank by reducing the need to backtrack.
  • After Nemesis breaks through the wall, run down the corridor and Jill will automatically duck into another apartment and push a heavy shelf down.
  • When escaping the apartment, go to the living room and climb through the open window.
  • Go down the fire escape and climb through another open window.
