AntMag.NET

Alright, let's dive into some of the most useful Active Skills you'll unlock in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. These can seriously turn the tide of a tough fight, so knowing how to use and upgrade them is key. We'll cover the Stimpack, Neutralize Infection, and Painkiller.

Stimpack

This is your go-to for a quick boost. It'll increase your accuracy and movement speed for 15 seconds, which is super handy when you need to make a quick escape or line up some critical shots. Just remember, it has a 30-second cooldown before you can use it again.

Stimpack Upgrades

You'll need XP to level this up, and each level increases how many you can carry before needing a recharge:

Level 1: Costs 1000 XP. Max carry 1.
Level 2: Costs 2500 XP. Max carry 2.
Level 3: Costs 5000 XP. Max carry 3.

How to Use Stimpack

To use it, you'll first need to equip your hypo gun. Press the Triangle (Y button) to swap weapons until you have it. Once equipped:

To help an ally: Target them and press R1 (RT button).
To use on yourself: Press and hold Triangle (Y button).

Neutralize Infection

This skill is a lifesaver, literally. It can either cure an infected ally or deal damage to an infected enemy. It doesn't have a duration, but it does have a 20-second restoration period.

Neutralize Infection Upgrades

Upgrading this skill makes it more effective against infected enemies:

Level 1: Costs 750 XP. Deals light damage to virus enemies.
Level 2: Costs 2000 XP. Deals medium damage to virus enemies.
Level 3: Costs 5000 XP. Deals heavy damage to virus enemies.

How to Use Neutralize Infection

Just like the Stimpack, you'll need to equip your hypo gun by pressing Triangle (Y button).

To help an ally or damage an enemy: Target them and press R1 (RT button). The damage dealt to enemies scales with the skill level.
To cure yourself: Press and hold Triangle (Y button).

Painkiller

This is your defensive ace. For 10 seconds, it'll significantly reduce the damage you or a teammate takes. It's got a 30-second cooldown.

Painkiller Upgrades

The higher the level, the better the damage reduction:

Level 1: Costs 1250 XP. Provides 50% damage reduction.
Level 2: Costs 3000 XP. Provides 70% damage reduction.
Level 3: Costs 6000 XP. Provides 90% damage reduction.

How to Use Painkiller

Equip your hypo gun by pressing Triangle (Y button).

To help an ally: Target them and press R1 (RT button).
To use on yourself: Press and hold Triangle (Y button).

Pro Tip: Painkiller is amazing when you know a heavy firefight is coming. Pop it on yourself, then just charge into the fray. You'll be able to soak up a ton of damage while you dish it out.
