Jumping Bite

Learn how to defeat the Ghiozzo and Hunters in Resident Evil: Revelations. Discover their attack patterns, weaknesses, and the best weapons to use.

Alright, let's talk about the Jumping Bite attack you'll encounter in Resident Evil: Revelations. It's a pretty straightforward move, but you gotta know how to handle it!

Basically, the Ghiozzo (that's the enemy that uses this attack) will either be in the water or on land. When it jumps, it's going to try and bite you. The key here is timing your dodge – you need to do it right before they actually land the bite during their jump. If you nail this, it'll stagger them, giving you a brief opening.

Recommended Weapons for Ghiozzo

These Ghiozzo are pretty squishy, so you don't need anything too fancy. A few shots from your Handgun or Machine Gun will do the trick. The first hit usually knocks them down or staggers them, so you can get in another quick shot.

If you find yourself facing a bunch of them in the water, a Shock Grenade or Hand Grenade tossed right into the middle of the group can take out several at once. It's a great way to clear them out quickly!

Dealing with Hunters

Now, let's switch gears to the Hunters. These guys are a different story – they're reptilian B.O.W.s, originally designed by Umbrella Corporation by mixing human DNA with reptile DNA and then hitting it with the T-virus. You might remember the original Alpha Hunter from Resident Evil 1; the ones here are based on that classic design.

Hunters are fast, aggressive, and usually attack in groups. They've got sharp claws and can dish out some serious damage with their ground and jumping slashes. They tend to hop around a lot before they attack, which can be super disorienting. Their main weak spot is their head.

Hunter Combat Tips

• Shotgun is King: The Shotgun is generally your best bet against Hunters. It's powerful enough to often knock them down, which is crucial for controlling their movement and stopping them from hopping around you.
• Machine Gun for Crowd Control: If you're dealing with multiple Hunters, a Machine Gun with a high rate of fire can be effective. The rapid fire helps to stagger them and keep them at bay.
• Handgun Precision: A Handgun can work well against a single Hunter, but you absolutely need to aim for the head.
• Stun and Melee: If you manage to shoot a Hunter while it's running or leaping towards you, you can stun it. This is your chance to get in a quick melee attack!

Remember, keeping a Hunter grounded is your best strategy. Don't let them get too much space to hop around and confuse you. Aim smart, use the right weapon for the situation, and you'll be able to handle these reptilian nightmares.
