Resident Evil 4: The First Village Battle Can Be Avoided

The remake of Resident Evil 4 remains very faithful to the original game. However, Capcom has revisited some passages by modifying entire areas or adding small surprises. In recent days, several players have made a very interesting discovery.

Upon arriving in the village, Leon S. Kennedy is chased by a horde of villagers, including the one equipped with a chainsaw. Our hero must hold out until the church bell rings. This sequence can be shortened.

Indeed, Leon can ring the famous bell at the beginning of the battle by shooting it with a sniper rifle. The infected will then stop chasing our protagonist and the cinematic will trigger. Note that this feat can only be achieved in a New Game+ playthrough, as it allows you to keep the equipment obtained in the previous playthrough.
