Melees (6)

Learn the ins and outs of every melee attack in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, from Krauser's devastating Drop Kick to Jill's quick knife work. Dominate your enemies!

Alright, let's talk about getting up close and personal in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D! Melee attacks are super important for clearing out enemies quickly, saving ammo, and racking up those precious points. This section breaks down all the different melee moves you can pull off, and who better to show them off than Krauser and Jill? Pay attention, because knowing these moves can totally turn the tide of a tough round.

Krauser's Melee Moves:

• Roundhouse: This is a basic head stun move. Krauser does two spinning kicks while moving forward. It deals 200 or 300 damage, so it's good for staggering enemies but not usually a kill on its own.
• Stinger: This is a front leg stun melee that's an instant kill! Krauser grabs the enemy, knees them in the head, and makes it explode. Super satisfying, and it even cancels those annoying Plaga spawns.
• Throat Slit: This is a back leg stun melee, also an instant kill. If you get behind an enemy, Krauser will grab them by the neck and slit their throat with his knife. Like the Stinger, this also cancels Plaga spawns.
• Up-Slice: An arm stun melee you can do from the front. Krauser uses his combat knife for an uppercut slice, dealing 350 damage. Good for a quick hit.
• Tackle: This is a back arm stun melee. Krauser lunges forward and shoulder-checks the enemy from behind, dealing a hefty 800 damage.
• Knife Stab: This is a ground melee. If an enemy is down, Krauser will pull out his knife and stab them for 800 damage. Aim for the head if you can for a critical hit!
• Drop Kick: This is Krauser's ultimate deathblow melee, usable from front or back. He leaps into the air and kicks the enemy with both feet, dealing a massive 4000 damage. Heads up: Unlike most other deathblows, this one won't cancel a Plaga spawn on a normal enemy, so keep that in mind if you're dealing with those!

Jill Valentine's Melee Moves:

Jill's section is a bit brief here, but she's known for her quick knife work. While the source text doesn't detail her specific melee moves like Krauser's, remember that her knife is a primary tool for close-quarters combat, often used for quick stuns and finishing blows. Mastering her standard knife attacks and any special melee animations she has is key to survival.
