Or......shoot the shit outta him and make him take a knee!?!?
Why isn't anyone suggesting this?!? Lol I think you actually complete a challenge by shooting off his hat iirc
You can also empty a mag into his skull to make him take a knee and you can run right past him. I suggest then taking the super long way around him and losing him, then start sneaking around and being quiet.
He's definitely more intimidating than he is difficult. And like I said you can always make him take a knee to get around him.
He does not stay away and wait outside of the saferoom in hardcore. If you wait a bit he will walk away, but generally won't be far from the area you're in.
On my clair b run fucker *would not* leave me alone in the darkroom safe room ever, he'd stay in the hallway to the left facing out the exit, go into a room for 4-5 seconds, then come back out. I sat there for like 20 minutes waiting for him to path away.
He also seems to be massively more aggressive, like he was *constantly breathing down my back 24/7.
Here is the thing about Mr. X that most people are unaware of:
He reacts to sound. Similar to the Lickers, but his hearing isn't just bound to the room he is in, he can hear you from anywhere in the police station. So if you run or shoot, he will know immediatly and head to the room you are in. So just walk out of the room and hope you don't go in his direction (listen for his footsteps).
If you just walk and don't shoot, then he will walk around aimlessly until he spots you.
There are also a few times in the game where he is programmed to know where you are. Like when you pick up a certain important item, the game will teleport him close to you and he will know where you are. This is singaled by his music starting to play, even when he isn't in the same room as you.
When he does find you and pursues you, don't shoot him because your bullets can only stun him for a bit and it's not worth it. Instead head to the nearest door and then try to WALK through as many rooms as possible, don't run or he knows where you are. if there is at least one room between you and him, he will most likely lose you and go back into his roaming mode.
Edit: Also there are some rooms he won't enter. Try to memorize those in case you can't shake him and head to those room. Wait and hope he gets into roaming mode again.
There are multiple online guides that already explain if you go through roughly 2 doors and then start walking you can lose him. Considering he really isn't even that big of a nuisance, running is the much better option and then just sprinting to objectives and running back to safe rooms - at least when not on crazy people/completing challenges.
If you know the game in and out you can just run from objective to objective. But a new player like OP wouldn't really know their way around and should do a slower approach instead.
It very much depends, it's not like you'll only meet him in areas with ample space and no zombies. It's very common for people that want to get past him quickly to just shoot him once in the head with a MAG or use a Flashbang.
I did that recently and it seemed like he got faster right afterwards, but once you lose him, the next time he walks the normal speed or the buff is so negligible I couldn't notice. So it's fine to shoot it for the achievement, not a difficulty boost in any way
Don’t shoot the hat… he gets angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
Though seriously, it makes him more aggressive and faster if I remember right.
Unfortunately one of the best ways to handle Mr. X is to clear out as many enemies in the police station as possible, before he arrives (ie. library, lickers). Having to navigate around them once he’s policing the area (heh) can make for a bad time.
Also if you can walk in certain spots do that. He will show up sooner if you are constantly running as he will hear that.
On my Leon B playthrough I realized being chased by him is an OPPORTUNITY to take out as many zombies as I can. He's chasing me anyway, so sound doesn't matter.
I held off clearing the library my whole run until I had to go back for the floor jack sequence. Then when I finally had to move the bookshelves I just started killing all the zombies. Once Mr.X showed up I just kept looping him around the top and moving the book cases until I could make a dash to the clock tower.
>Also, don't go for certain objectives if he is near you.
It's worth knowing that you *can* juke him while doing the shelf row in RPD's library, even on HC, but it's not ideal for time management.
It's hard to do this but learning to dodge his punch makes him so easy to deal with. It's hard to explain but basically right before he punches sorta twitch backwards to dodge his punch and then run past him. When I used to play the game a lot I had it at like a 80% success rate, but nowadays it's a 50/50. You will feel like a fuckin god when you pull it off tho.
[I made a video](https://youtu.be/E4SXEK6B-ls?si=FIs9KGx5bBBk-ahc) ages ago showing this for anyone that wants to see it. I play on the control scheme where R1 is sprint (C I think), and I have it set to hold to run. To me, it makes those cuts easier to perform reliably.
Nice moves. Hopefully some peeps check it out and learn how to break Mr. X's ankles. I saw the technique from speedruns and while it definitely took me a minute it was satisfying as hell to get consistent. The other technique I recommend is learning how to knife only Birkin 1 (technically 2 knives plus 1 grenade and 1 flash on PS4 at least)
He got a hernia from doing that and slipped a disk. Knee him in the dick, elbow him in the lower back and he will call for an ambulance. Just bought you another hour.
You are always faster than him running even in red health. Avoid narrow hallways with him and try to memorize the map layout so you can find alternate routes to get to where you need to be. And don’t bother wasting ammo on him, he’ll just get right back up after about 30 seconds. ENJOY
He’s super easy to dodge when you have some room to work with. Getting close enough for him to wind up his punch, and then running past/away from him in his cooldown animation is very reliable. Just make sure to not get too close, since Mr X can still grab you and shove you back, regardless of whatever animation he’s playing. I think the only animations that stop this are, the one that plays when you knock him to his knees after enough damage, and a stun from a flashbang.
Don’t mag dump him and if your in really in close quarters with zombies and himself always have a flash so you can get out quickly and without wasting any shotgun or pistol ammo
Run away. I'm not troling. I'm very serious. This guy is shockingly slow. If he punches you, he waits for you to get up then tries to punch you again. He never combos you.
Also, he's your idiot, younger sibling. Run around the table; he's not smart enough to go at the oppositie direction and cut you off.
Don't be where he is, Mr x is something you just learn to juke and short "long ways around" I used to always cut through the fire escape and the downstairs office on my hardcore speed runs
My best way is to get in an open area, like the place where you put water in the helicopter, and juke him and just keep running until you don’t hear him anymore
A couple have said it but after he punches at you he has no collision so you can run right through him. So if you can bait a punch without losing much distance from him (and not getting hit), you can run right through him to where you want to go. A good spot to do this is actually at the heli…stand about 4m or 12ft from the heli and you’re at perfect dodge range
He’s easy to outrun if you turn away and run. Once you get some distance away you need to walk and not run so he has more difficulty hearing you.
Try only to engage other enemies when absolutely necessary as well as he’ll hear you. He’ll be a persistent threat for the rest of your time in police station now (apart from save rooms NOT main hall, the clock tower, interrogation/observation room and STARS office which he can’t enter).
Run. Ans you can stun him with a grenade if need be.
Since I know exactly when he shows up i tend to make it my mission to clear as much as possible of the station right before then to make getting around easier.
Biggest thing is to realize that *he can hear you*, so walk when you can, he'll hear running nearby. And if you need to shoot, he will hear that from anywhere and start going in on where the shot came from.
And don't waste ammo on him, you can stun him if you do enough damage, but I'd rather just take the chance at getting hit imo
He only hunts you for about 10-20 minutes of gameplay. If you know what rooms you need items from and finish your goal he’s gone.
Also safe rooms are still safe. But he patrols around it until you come out. And the bell tower room after moving the books in the library room is safe. He will chase you upstairs but can’t enter the bell room.
Idk man just play the game, run from him if you hear his footsteps, play safe.
There's no way to fully avoid him or defeat him besides playing the game.
Don’t waste ammunition on him, he can’t be killed. Know where the safe rooms are. When you hear the music ramping up, be on your toes. If he sees you, RUN. If you have the space, it’s actually pretty easy to juke past him if you time his punches right
Shooting attracts him if hes close enough to hear the shots, so if youre in a fight try to wrap things up in short order after the enemy dies. Running can attract him too but its usually worth it anyway because youre moving faster. Also dont be afraid to backtrack to circle around where he is.
If you let him get close to you and let him try to punch you, there’s a very small window of time you can juke him and evade his attacks. Once you get good at it you’ll never get hit from him again
Best way is to save, go play with him and learn how bait his attacks and run past.
A lot of the time you can circle around him but it's nice to know how to do it in a pinch.
Just don’t shoot the fedora off(I think he gets faster) and take alternate routes. Listen for his loud ahh footsteps too, cause those are a tell for him being near
If you see him, run the other way and lose him.
he's attracted to noise, if he's near try walking, he can hear you run. And gunshots will draw him to the area.
You can hide from him in save rooms and the stars office.
If you want to avoid him, keep track of where he is while being as silent as possible. During my second play through, I cleared as many enemies I could, especially in areas where I’d have to run through multiple times. Of course there are certain events where he can’t really be avoided and you’ll just have to run for your life. Walk, don’t run and use the safe rooms to your advantage.
Keep your distance, don't let him get near you, and try your best not to make unnecessary noise; make sure the rooms you need to constantly go back to make sure all the enemies are cleared out; shooting your gun will give him your exact location.
Do not make a single noise (running, shooting) unless you have to (wether it's necessary or because of the zombies' ability to be annoying). By doing that, you almost never encounter him (you can still hear him though, but that's obvious). If he sees you, you run.
I found it best to hide in the dark room untill he leaves (give it a few mins) then I walk to the objective and I rarely saw him. I was always on the listen out for his footsteps though and went a different way if they got loud. Also dont be affraid to just run off if you need to, hes quicker than your walk speed but your far faster at a run. Just dont get caught in a corridor or on a corner like I did 😂😂
Run initially if caught but as soon as you can walk because he doesn't hear you walking but does when you run. Avoiding him in the library can be tricky, move as much of the bookshelves as possible before getting the crank.
If you turn around & walk back to the rooftop as soon as the helicopter starts getting ripped out of the way he doesn't even follow you & you can just walk around & avoid him till after the power grid puzzle.
Try to map out the RCPD in ur head, once u start learning what hallways to use u can just avoid him 90% of the time. His footsteps are also a great indicator of his whereabouts. If you hear a radio static noise, he sees ya and if he does find you just run the nearest saferoom and fetal position. Good Luck.
Do most gamers these days not like to figure stuff out by themselves?
Idk, I feel like asking online ruins the surprises 🤷🏻♂️
Can’t imagine how y’all would have gamed without internet back in the day
He doesn't really catch you that often, he's designed to just keep you moving through the level, decide what zombies are actually worth killing, and keeping the tension up.
There's always multiple entrances and exits for most rooms aside from>! the basement with the interrogation room, and the jail section after you get the keycard !< , I think that the best way to avoid him is to clear out a couple of critical rooms of all zombies (the big hallway with the stairwell that connects the a save room, lockerroom, and RPD office, plus lickers that you can spare the ammo for, and the library).
Also try to lay low for a minute or two in any safe rooms when he's pursuing you to break aggro.
shoot him once in the head to knock his fedora, to get the achievement. When he cocks back for a punch, do a 180 run the other direction and then when his punch animation is over do another 180 and just run past him. Rinse and repeat. Side note if he grabs you dont freak out, just get up and bait the punch animation and dodge.
Stun him if you can by firing at his head, anything but headshots is just bullets wasted, you can incapacitate him for like 20 seconds, but that 20 seconds can be life or death in certain situations. Otherwise…if you see him, you can either run past him and hope he doesn’t hit you or just run the other way, use your map to orient yourself.
Like Marvin said, take it out or you run!…no shame in running from a 7 foot giant in a trench coat
If you're not speed running, just walk everywhere, I literally avoided him my entire 1st playthrough in the rpd doing that and making as little noise as possible in game. Was the best advice I was given early on next to knifing the licker to death
If you know what you're doing, this whole section takes about 3 minutes to complete.
From memory:
Bait his punch
Run past him
Run down the outside stairs where you meet Claire
Run to the main hall
Go in the west hallway avoiding the Licker etc
Use club key
Grab the item you need
Run back towards main hall
Mr X will be in the west hallway
Bait punch
Continue to library
When outside library door shoot the floor (this makes him stop)
Slide the book cases
Do the cog puzzle
Run to the basement going the route you need to from there.
It's not a long process but it's super daunting the first few times you play the game, I ended up hiding in the west save room for ages
If you turn around and round to the place where the stars office is in the Chris Redfield jacket is you can get the HARLEM X28 which is a single shot that uses mag ammobut instant knocks Mr X your welcome
You can bait him into an attack, just stand still in front of him and then sprint back right before he swings then you can then sprint forward and pass right by him (make sure he is swinging at the air though before running forward, if he is chasing Leon then stand still and try again). The window can be tight as he can instalock you into a throw but once you get it down its easy to run by him.
Run, listen for his footsteps. Sometimes he comes around the corner because i miscalculated and I scream, the Licker screams, and X plows his fist in my face. Good times. But yeah... just run. And if there is a room you can circle, do that too. He doesnt move fast, so you can out circle him and escape pretty well. When you are under the stairs though its a bit trickier.
lmao im playing this game now and i just encountered him for the first time yesterday. it was crazy when i saw him lift up that helicopter. then i was in the clock tower and i heard his footsteps outside and it was psyching me out so bad 😭
i usually just shoot him in the face and run when he gets stunned but i don’t think that is sustainable. so now i’m gonna just try and run around him if/when i can. >!it's how i avoided him when i encountered him in the jail.!< i also knocked off his hat and i got a trophy which is cool lol
If you hug the right wall as he's lifting the heli, you can actually pass right by him before he can swing at you (going by the leg wall will 90%of the time result in him throwing you backwards)
Alternative to that is is quick turn head back out to the roof, wait for him to start walking through the door and you can slip right by him and continue your escape
Learn all the rooms that he can’t go into and if he’s near then make sure you have a plan on how to get to the nearest one in case he starts chasing you
Mr. X can't enter in save room other than the lobby,, in A scenario. He can't enter clock tower and The garage where U met Ada. U can stun him for a while with Flash grenades and then run away. He will be searching U all over the Police station but most likely will be near U. Be careful he can hear U run, shoot and open locked doors.
There’s almost always two ways to get somewhere. If you see him, turn around and run the other way
Lol this is usually true, sure, except literally the moment in the screenshot
True, it’s very easy to run around him right outside though. Then you’re all good
No, you can bait him into swinging and run by him here. No need to go back outside.
Or......shoot the shit outta him and make him take a knee!?!? Why isn't anyone suggesting this?!? Lol I think you actually complete a challenge by shooting off his hat iirc
I swear to god he walks faster the rest of the game when you shoot his hat off. Proper pissed him off haha
Honestly I think you're right!!!!! Although it's probably because of aerodynamics. That bald head has him cutting through the air like a boomerang
Lmao no, waste of ammo. Shoot him only once to remove his hat and get the challenge, he's big dopey and slow run around him
You can also empty a mag into his skull to make him take a knee and you can run right past him. I suggest then taking the super long way around him and losing him, then start sneaking around and being quiet. He's definitely more intimidating than he is difficult. And like I said you can always make him take a knee to get around him.
You can take the long way without wasting a clip
[удалено]
Does he enter save rooms on hardcore? Holy shit that’s horrifying
[удалено]
Oh. But does he stay outside and wait?
[удалено]
He does not stay away and wait outside of the saferoom in hardcore. If you wait a bit he will walk away, but generally won't be far from the area you're in.
On my clair b run fucker *would not* leave me alone in the darkroom safe room ever, he'd stay in the hallway to the left facing out the exit, go into a room for 4-5 seconds, then come back out. I sat there for like 20 minutes waiting for him to path away. He also seems to be massively more aggressive, like he was *constantly breathing down my back 24/7.
Oh. Got you! Thank you for clarifying
That’s nemesis
He doesn't enter save rooms at all on any difficulty.
Here is the thing about Mr. X that most people are unaware of: He reacts to sound. Similar to the Lickers, but his hearing isn't just bound to the room he is in, he can hear you from anywhere in the police station. So if you run or shoot, he will know immediatly and head to the room you are in. So just walk out of the room and hope you don't go in his direction (listen for his footsteps).

Edit: Also there are some rooms he won't enter. Try to memorize those in case you can't shake him and head to those room. Wait and hope he gets into roaming mode again.
Just a follow up to this. Here is a great video on how Mr x works. https://youtu.be/nkaOItRQQR8?si=Q3O3raIeC88WFZDx
There are multiple online guides that already explain if you go through roughly 2 doors and then start walking you can lose him. Considering he really isn't even that big of a nuisance, running is the much better option and then just sprinting to objectives and running back to safe rooms - at least when not on crazy people/completing challenges.
If you know the game in and out you can just run from objective to objective. But a new player like OP wouldn't really know their way around and should do a slower approach instead.
Oh wow. I just thought he had to be nearby to hear the running but it's everywhere? Sheesh
keep the distance between you and Mr X, don't shoot him you can't hurt him even if you can shoot that ridiculous hat eheheh...
He goes down for a short period of time so u can hurt him
It's a waste of bullets, he's only down for a small amount of time, barely enough to move past him
If you shoot his head like 7 times with your weak pistol he goes down for like 20 seconds, how is that barely enough time?
So you'd rather use up 7 bullets (assuming they all hit) rather than run in a tight circle?
It very much depends, it's not like you'll only meet him in areas with ample space and no zombies. It's very common for people that want to get past him quickly to just shoot him once in the head with a MAG or use a Flashbang.
that is right but he don't take damage
You talkin about that goofy ah fedora?
if you do shoot his fedora off you get an achievement for it
He also gets way angrier. At least it seems that way. Dunno if it’s actually programmed cause of the hat or the fact you dared to shoot at him.
i totally forgot to mention that lmao, dude absolutely fucking bolts at you afterwards
Yep I finally got around to the achievement recently, stopped for a second to make sure what I did registered and then he got me within a second.
Yeah I think his animations show him getting pissed like you’re really getting it now but nothing else changes I think
I did that recently and it seemed like he got faster right afterwards, but once you lose him, the next time he walks the normal speed or the buff is so negligible I couldn't notice. So it's fine to shoot it for the achievement, not a difficulty boost in any way
he just does that when you turn and face him he will speed up
Yeah, and you’ll get an achievement as I remember
Don’t shoot the hat… he gets angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. Though seriously, it makes him more aggressive and faster if I remember right.
Unfortunately one of the best ways to handle Mr. X is to clear out as many enemies in the police station as possible, before he arrives (ie. library, lickers).

Once Mr.X showed up I just kept looping him around the top and moving the book cases until I could make a dash to the clock tower.
Best way to deal with Mr. X…. RUNNN!!
that is a Joestar secret tecnique anyway it always worked I guess
Nigerundayoo, Smokeyyy
Holy shit a JoJo reference
>Holy shit Joseph? Are you Joseph Joestar?
Shit they know, run awayyyy
No, if you run, he knows where you are. Just walk away from him and through as many doors as possible.
Listen to foodsteps, know where he will not follow you. Also, don't go for certain objectives if he is near you. Don't bother shooting him
>Also, don't go for certain objectives if he is near you. It's worth knowing that you *can* juke him while doing the shelf row in RPD's library, even on HC, but it's not ideal for time management.
Learn to anticipate his superman punch. If you can time this well enough, you'll need not run from him again.
It's hard to do this but learning to dodge his punch makes him so easy to deal with. It's hard to explain but basically right before he punches sorta twitch backwards to dodge his punch and then run past him. When I used to play the game a lot I had it at like a 80% success rate, but nowadays it's a 50/50. You will feel like a fuckin god when you pull it off tho.

[Got one of those too](https://youtu.be/Z_99wsH71gk?si=Otr7EdKcARLbWWJU), although I wasn't as efficient on item use as I could have been, haha.
I did this because I found going a different path annoying. Its such a time saver.
kick him in the nuts and run
That man lifted a crashed helicopter. I think his nuts are gonna be made of steel
He got a hernia from doing that and slipped a disk. Knee him in the dick, elbow him in the lower back and he will call for an ambulance. Just bought you another hour.
Yeah stop playing the game or run the other way
Don't shoot his hat off because I believe that makes him walk a bit faster
he's more aggro
Wouldn't it be better to just play the game and experience it for yourself?
i could understand wanting to know some basic mechanics as on a first playthrough he can be a lil frustrating to understand.
Walk up to him quick turn backward and walk a bit so he punches and you can run right by him
You can run back out to the roof. Let him follow you and then run around him.
You are always faster than him running even in red health. Avoid narrow hallways with him and try to memorize the map layout so you can find alternate routes to get to where you need to be. And don’t bother wasting ammo on him, he’ll just get right back up after about 30 seconds. ENJOY
You're trapped. Now the only way to save yourself is by doing a T pose to assert dominance.
What year is this
He’s super easy to dodge when you have some room to work with. Getting close enough for him to wind up his punch, and then running past/away from him in his cooldown animation is very reliable. Just make sure to not get too close, since Mr X can still grab you and shove you back, regardless of whatever animation he’s playing. I think the only animations that stop this are, the one that plays when you knock him to his knees after enough damage, and a stun from a flashbang.
Run.
Don’t run. Walk if he is not around. He is less likely to find you if you walk.
Run back out to the roof and use the extra space to juke around him.
He's slow, makes a distinct noise when walking and his face is extra shootable. He won't stay down but he goes down for a bit.
Don’t mag dump him and if your in really in close quarters with zombies and himself always have a flash so you can get out quickly and without wasting any shotgun or pistol ammo
Run away. I'm not troling. I'm very serious. This guy is shockingly slow. If he punches you, he waits for you to get up then tries to punch you again. He never combos you. Also, he's your idiot, younger sibling. Run around the table; he's not smart enough to go at the oppositie direction and cut you off.
he's more new gamer friendly than the puzzles
Break his ankles
You can get a trophy for shooting his hat off
In close range shotgun him then run he will stun for a while
Don't be where he is, Mr x is something you just learn to juke and short "long ways around" I used to always cut through the fire escape and the downstairs office on my hardcore speed runs
My best way is to get in an open area, like the place where you put water in the helicopter, and juke him and just keep running until you don’t hear him anymore

He’ll be a persistent threat for the rest of your time in police station now (apart from save rooms NOT main hall, the clock tower, interrogation/observation room and STARS office which he can’t enter).
Run or wait for him to punch and just as the punch ends run past him
Shoot him in the head and run lol
Run. Ans you can stun him with a grenade if need be. Since I know exactly when he shows up i tend to make it my mission to clear as much as possible of the station right before then to make getting around easier.
Yes, shake his hand like a gentleman
Try shooting his hat off, it doesn't help do anything against him but it's an achievement and also funny to do
Biggest thing is to realize that *he can hear you*, so walk when you can, he'll hear running nearby. And if you need to shoot, he will hear that from anywhere and start going in on where the shot came from. And don't waste ammo on him, you can stun him if you do enough damage, but I'd rather just take the chance at getting hit imo
Shoot his hat off. It slows him down.
He only hunts you for about 10-20 minutes of gameplay. If you know what rooms you need items from and finish your goal he’s gone. Also safe rooms are still safe. But he patrols around it until you come out. And the bell tower room after moving the books in the library room is safe. He will chase you upstairs but can’t enter the bell room.
If he corners you, pop him once or twice in the face and it will stun him for a second or two; long enough to pass him without him tossing you down.
never thought I’d see ‘Mr. X’ and ‘how to avoid’ in the same sentence
You get a bit of a break from him once you get out of the RPD. Then close the end of the game, he comes back again.
go near him to bait an attack from him n run back. do 180 and run past him
Idk man just play the game, run from him if you hear his footsteps, play safe. There's no way to fully avoid him or defeat him besides playing the game.
He can hear you when your running about or shooting, so walk when laying low from him.
Use headphones
Run! 🏃♂️
Go outside and try to juke him or try to bait him when he punches but sometimes he throws you onto the ground it is complete bullshit
Don’t waste ammunition on him, he can’t be killed. Know where the safe rooms are. When you hear the music ramping up, be on your toes. If he sees you, RUN. If you have the space, it’s actually pretty easy to juke past him if you time his punches right
You can always outrun him, so just keep moving and checking ur map
Shoot off his hat. It’ll make him slow down
Shooting attracts him if hes close enough to hear the shots, so if youre in a fight try to wrap things up in short order after the enemy dies. Running can attract him too but its usually worth it anyway because youre moving faster. Also dont be afraid to backtrack to circle around where he is.
If you let him get close to you and let him try to punch you, there’s a very small window of time you can juke him and evade his attacks. Once you get good at it you’ll never get hit from him again
Run
Shoot him in the head, he will sit down for a short period, use that period to go around him
Run BOW NA NA NOW NOW NOW NOW
Run and hide my friend. Once you get out of RPD2 he goes away
Shoot da hat
Best way is to save, go play with him and learn how bait his attacks and run past. A lot of the time you can circle around him but it's nice to know how to do it in a pinch.
Just don’t shoot the fedora off(I think he gets faster) and take alternate routes. Listen for his loud ahh footsteps too, cause those are a tell for him being near
If you see him, run the other way and lose him. he's attracted to noise, if he's near try walking, he can hear you run. And gunshots will draw him to the area. You can hide from him in save rooms and the stars office.
Walk don’t run. He can’t hear you and won’t follow you if he can’t hear you. Biggest tip I learned for trying to not die at all.
You can't. Mr. X is inevitable. Good luck dealing with him, a licker and some zombies at the same time. 😱
If you want to avoid him, keep track of where he is while being as silent as possible. During my second play through, I cleared as many enemies I could, especially in areas where I’d have to run through multiple times. Of course there are certain events where he can’t really be avoided and you’ll just have to run for your life. Walk, don’t run and use the safe rooms to your advantage.
Could always pull a me and shut the game down, doesn’t get you then lmao
Keep your distance, don't let him get near you, and try your best not to make unnecessary noise; make sure the rooms you need to constantly go back to make sure all the enemies are cleared out; shooting your gun will give him your exact location.
Play the game and create your own strategy, sorry (you have to apologize nowadays)
Run
Flash grande
Do not make a single noise (running, shooting) unless you have to (wether it's necessary or because of the zombies' ability to be annoying). By doing that, you almost never encounter him (you can still hear him though, but that's obvious). If he sees you, you run.
He'll never out trot your brisk jog.
Tell him you have a restraining order
Go to a more open space and run arround him. He s quite easy to get away with
I found it best to hide in the dark room untill he leaves (give it a few mins) then I walk to the objective and I rarely saw him. I was always on the listen out for his footsteps though and went a different way if they got loud. Also dont be affraid to just run off if you need to, hes quicker than your walk speed but your far faster at a run. Just dont get caught in a corridor or on a corner like I did 😂😂
A flash grenade will stun him for a very short period of time. Otherwise just keep as quiet as you can and don’t waste your ammo.
Don’t run, only shoot when you have too. He can find you when you shoot and run
You need to try and shoot him in the head or legs to cause a stagger state. Then run up to him and press the interact button on your controller.
Legit just run away i dont even encounter him anymore
Run initially if caught but as soon as you can walk because he doesn't hear you walking but does when you run. Avoiding him in the library can be tricky, move as much of the bookshelves as possible before getting the crank. If you turn around & walk back to the rooftop as soon as the helicopter starts getting ripped out of the way he doesn't even follow you & you can just walk around & avoid him till after the power grid puzzle.
Just run and abuse save rooms.
Don't let him hit you.
Dunno… maybe just play the game?
He is the only reason that I do not replay RE2 Remake. Too annoying in my opinion, if someone like to search stuff at slow pace.
Run until you get to a safe room basically.
Clear out any lickers. Having him and lickers attacking you at the same time is rough.
Run
Walk slow, don't fire a gun because he will go to that area where the bullet was fired. Treat him as a cat and mouse type of game.
Yes walk the other way. Thats it. That's all to Mr. X. He's really mor scary at all once you know the layout to RPD.
Try to map out the RCPD in ur head, once u start learning what hallways to use u can just avoid him 90% of the time. His footsteps are also a great indicator of his whereabouts. If you hear a radio static noise, he sees ya and if he does find you just run the nearest saferoom and fetal position. Good Luck.
Do most gamers these days not like to figure stuff out by themselves? Idk, I feel like asking online ruins the surprises 🤷🏻♂️ Can’t imagine how y’all would have gamed without internet back in the day
Walk, he can hear you run. Every room with a type writer is safe. Except the main hall.
git gud
Shoot his hat off to slow him down like 40%
he traumatized me ☠️
Dome shots work great if you absolutely refuse to run. But you better know how to dodge
Yeah. Run.
What the? It's your first time playing and you're not even going to try?
SHOOT HIM, SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE
Run!!!!
Step 1. Walk the other way Step 2. If you can’t go the other way charge into him and then eat a herb if he punches you
Run.
Dang he looking spooky a f here
He doesn't really catch you that often, he's designed to just keep you moving through the level, decide what zombies are actually worth killing, and keeping the tension up. There's always multiple entrances and exits for most rooms aside from>! the basement with the interrogation room, and the jail section after you get the keycard !< , I think that the best way to avoid him is to clear out a couple of critical rooms of all zombies (the big hallway with the stairwell that connects the a save room, lockerroom, and RPD office, plus lickers that you can spare the ammo for, and the library). Also try to lay low for a minute or two in any safe rooms when he's pursuing you to break aggro.
shoot him once in the head to knock his fedora, to get the achievement. When he cocks back for a punch, do a 180 run the other direction and then when his punch animation is over do another 180 and just run past him. Rinse and repeat. Side note if he grabs you dont freak out, just get up and bait the punch animation and dodge.
One word. Grenades.
he is a big loser tho
run
Honestly, he’s so slow and dumb. It’s very easy to get away from him. I always run everywhere.
Stun him if you can by firing at his head, anything but headshots is just bullets wasted, you can incapacitate him for like 20 seconds, but that 20 seconds can be life or death in certain situations. Otherwise…if you see him, you can either run past him and hope he doesn’t hit you or just run the other way, use your map to orient yourself. Like Marvin said, take it out or you run!…no shame in running from a 7 foot giant in a trench coat
Walk the other way usually works
Safe rooms are safe. You can hear his footsteps from within the safe room.
Run
Hide in the hallway to the integration room
Does he also appear in second run?
Yeah. RUN!!
buy the unlock all dlc and shoot him with the rocket launcher
I always do the bait punch him on standard but in hardcore when I try pass him he grab me back lmao
No. You have to die at this point in the game.
If you're not speed running, just walk everywhere, I literally avoided him my entire 1st playthrough in the rpd doing that and making as little noise as possible in game. Was the best advice I was given early on next to knifing the licker to death
jut run, hes so easy to avoid
Cap his ass
play dead by daylight and then loop him
If you know what you're doing, this whole section takes about 3 minutes to complete. From memory: Bait his punch Run past him Run down the outside stairs where you meet Claire Run to the main hall Go in the west hallway avoiding the Licker etc Use club key Grab the item you need Run back towards main hall Mr X will be in the west hallway Bait punch Continue to library When outside library door shoot the floor (this makes him stop) Slide the book cases Do the cog puzzle Run to the basement going the route you need to from there. It's not a long process but it's super daunting the first few times you play the game, I ended up hiding in the west save room for ages
Run like hell - by far the most terrorizing villain in any resident evil I’ve played. Not even the nemesis was this much of a pain.
Ask him if he's hungry and feed him rockets.
Once you know he acts he's pretty easy to avoid, movement and character placement is everything is re2r
Social distance.
He can't get to you in save rooms so if you need a breather just run in there.
If you turn around and round to the place where the stars office is in the Chris Redfield jacket is you can get the HARLEM X28 which is a single shot that uses mag ammobut instant knocks Mr X your welcome
You can bait him into an attack, just stand still in front of him and then sprint back right before he swings then you can then sprint forward and pass right by him (make sure he is swinging at the air though before running forward, if he is chasing Leon then stand still and try again). The window can be tight as he can instalock you into a throw but once you get it down its easy to run by him.
Run, listen for his footsteps. Sometimes he comes around the corner because i miscalculated and I scream, the Licker screams, and X plows his fist in my face. Good times. But yeah... just run. And if there is a room you can circle, do that too. He doesnt move fast, so you can out circle him and escape pretty well. When you are under the stairs though its a bit trickier.
lmao im playing this game now and i just encountered him for the first time yesterday. it was crazy when i saw him lift up that helicopter. then i was in the clock tower and i heard his footsteps outside and it was psyching me out so bad 😭 i usually just shoot him in the face and run when he gets stunned but i don’t think that is sustainable. so now i’m gonna just try and run around him if/when i can. >!it's how i avoided him when i encountered him in the jail.!< i also knocked off his hat and i got a trophy which is cool lol
Hide In rooms and listen to his footsteps.
If you hug the right wall as he's lifting the heli, you can actually pass right by him before he can swing at you (going by the leg wall will 90%of the time result in him throwing you backwards) Alternative to that is is quick turn head back out to the roof, wait for him to start walking through the door and you can slip right by him and continue your escape
Learn all the rooms that he can’t go into and if he’s near then make sure you have a plan on how to get to the nearest one in case he starts chasing you
Flash bang run lmao alls you can do. Walk don’t run. He can hear you where ever you are in the station apparently lol
Don’t run
Mr. X can't enter in save room other than the lobby,, in A scenario. He can't enter clock tower and The garage where U met Ada. U can stun him for a while with Flash grenades and then run away. He will be searching U all over the Police station but most likely will be near U. Be careful he can hear U run, shoot and open locked doors.
Pallet stun him and hole him in the library
Just shoot his hat off. He can’t attack you without it!
