Resident Evil 2 (2019): How To Survive Mr. X

gamerant.com:

Resident Evil 2 (2019) has just been remastered for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S along with the Resident Evil 3 Remake and Resident Evil 7, so the games now look better than ever. As a result, players can experience the horror of Mr. X chasing them through the Raccoon City Police Precinct in even higher quality.

Mr. X is an imposing enemy with more durability than any of the other monsters Leon and Claire will face during Resident Evil 2. He stalks the player through the RPD and tracks them based on sound, making him a constant presence that will catch the player off-guard if they're not careful. Should Mr. X find the player then he will chase them unless they can take him down temporarily or evade him until he looks elsewhere.

Mr. X becomes even more terrifying on higher difficulties as his speed, damage output, and health are all increased. On hardcore mode, Mr. X is almost as fast as Claire and Leon at running speed which means he's never far behind once he spots them. And in the event that players are able to take him down on hardcore, his recovery time before he gets back up isn't very long leaving players with only a few seconds to create some distance.

Leon and Claire will first encounter Mr. X after they obtain the club key or heart key respectively. It's after this that Mr. X will patrol the RPD and attempt to hunt the player down while they continue to navigate the corridors and solve the remaining puzzles. Mr. X has distinct footsteps that can be heard when he is near, and they grow louder as he gets closer. There will also be a musical cue when he spots the player and a chase ensues.

When playing on assisted or normal mode, Mr. X isn't too tricky
