• In the different rooms that you will visit, you will find modules in pallets which are scalable. But will they protect you from zombies if you play cat perched on these paddles? The answer is yes ... And no, because if you are too close to the edge the Zombies can catch your legs. Little advice, move away from the edge and you will be quiet.
• After an intensive gunfight, you create a heap of bodies on the ground, will this affect other Zombies? The answer is no, it will only trip them up but they will continue on their way to you, it will not block them.
• On certain passages, you will have to climb ladders, are we safe on these? Ladders are always safe! Indeed, as soon as the action of going up or down is triggered, the hero no longer risks anything.

• Can Zombies move if their legs are cut? Yes ! Zombies will slowly crawl on the ground moving with their only trunk, and can therefore reach you.
• To continue the questions about the crippled zombies, could they open an armless door? The answer is simple: no arms, no door! It will be impossible to open a door for a Zombie if these are missing their arms or legs.
• Can you block a Zombie behind a door? With a little technique, yes. By opening a door with his character as if to cross it, then going back, the zombie will be unable to open it.
• In Resident Evil 2, several passages will ask you to place C4, but will these explosions affect all these Zombies? Apart from a breath of fresh air on their rotten skins, this will have no impact. However, the shock wave will cause you to drop slightly.
• During the conversation phases, is Leon safe? Unlike QTEs, conversations won't protect you from Zombies' assaults.
• Can Zombies walk with one foot less? Even with one foot less, they remain Zombies and they will continue to pursue you.
• Can we crush the Zombies with the different movable cupboards in the game? Unfortunately no ! Zombie flattening by cabinets will not be possible in Resident Evil 2!
• Does your hit box get smaller when you kneel? Unfortunately no, the size of your hit box will not decrease and some invisible walls may block you.
• During the puzzle interaction sessions, are we protected from Zombie attacks? When you have to type a code or other puzzles, you enter another space-time where the actions of the Zombies around you are frozen.
