Item Guide by Difficulty
Alright, so you're diving into the chaos of Resident Evil Outbreak, huh? Smart move checking out what you'll be finding on each difficulty. Knowing your gear is half the battle, especially when things get hairy. Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect to snag on your runs through Raccoon City.
Keep in mind this isn't an exhaustive list of every single item, but the key ones you'll want to keep an eye out for. Some items might pop up in different spots depending on the scenario, but this should give you a solid idea.
| ITEM NAME | EASY | NORMAL | HARD | VERY HARD |
| Handgun Ammo | Commonly found, especially early on. Plenty to keep you topped up. | Still fairly common, but you might need to be a bit more judicious. | Scarcer. Every bullet counts here, so aim carefully! | Very limited. You'll be scavenging hard for these. Make every shot count. |
| Shotgun Shells | Decent availability, good for crowd control when you find them. | Less frequent than on Easy. Use them wisely for tougher encounters. | Quite rare. Save these for bosses or overwhelming groups. | Extremely rare. A true lifesaver if you find any. |
| Submachine Gun Ammo | Can be found, but not as abundant as handgun ammo. Good for bursts of fire. | More scarce. You'll likely only find these in specific locations. | Very hard to come by. Consider it a bonus if you find any. | Rarely seen. You'll probably only get a small amount if you're lucky. |
| Handgun (starting weapon) | Standard issue. Gets the job done for basic threats. | Same reliable starting pistol. | Still your trusty sidearm. Don't underestimate it. | Your only friend at the start. Protect it! |
| Shotgun | Found in various scenarios, a great upgrade for close-quarters. | Same locations as Easy, but you'll need it more. | A crucial find. Prioritize getting this if you can. | Essential. Finding this early can make a huge difference. |
| Submachine Gun | Available in some scenarios. Good for sustained fire. | Less common than on Easy. A welcome find. | A rare find, but very powerful when you need it. | Hard to find, but a game-changer if you get your hands on it. |
| First Aid Spray | Fairly common. Your primary healing item. | Still available, but you'll be using them more often. | Scarcer. Use them only when absolutely necessary. | Very limited. You'll be relying on herbs more. |
| Green Herb | Abundant. Mix with Red Herbs for better healing. | Still plentiful. Good for minor healing. | Less common. Conserve them when you can. | Scarce. Every herb is precious. |
| Red Herb | Less common than Green. Combine for full recovery. | Can be found, but not always guaranteed. | Rare. A very welcome find. | Extremely rare. You'll be lucky to find one. |
| Blue Herb | Used to cure poison. Not always available. | Same as Easy. Keep an eye out if you're getting poisoned. | Can be harder to find. Be mindful of poison traps. | Very scarce. If you get poisoned, it's a serious problem. |
| Knife | Usually a starting item or found early. Good for conserving ammo. | Same as Easy. A reliable backup. | Still useful for silent takedowns or when ammo is gone. | Your last resort. Essential for close-quarters when you're out of everything else. |
| Key Items (e.g., Keys, ID Cards) | Generally available to progress. | Same as Easy, but sometimes guarded more heavily. | May be harder to access or guarded by tougher enemies. | Often well-hidden or protected. Be thorough! |
| Explosive Rounds | Rarely found, powerful against tough enemies. | Even rarer. Use only on bosses. | Extremely rare. A true luxury. | Almost non-existent. Consider yourself lucky if you find any. |
Remember, the goal is survival. Don't waste precious ammo or healing items. Always check your surroundings, and if you're playing on Hard or Very Hard, you'll want to be extra careful about every decision you make. Good luck out there!
