Resident Evil Village Trick Makes Reloading a Lot Faster

gamerant.com:

One Resident Evil Village player has stumbled upon a neat trick that makes reloading weapons in VR a lot faster. Their discovery can make surviving the recently debuted Resident Evil Village VR mode a lot less stressful, depending on the exact playing style.

While the latest mainline game in the long-running horror franchise released back in mid-2021, its VR mode has only been out since late February. Thanks to this PlayStation VR2-exclusive feature, Resident Evil Village was among the few dozen launch titles for Sony's second-generation virtual reality headset.

And while many fans are still learning just how many Resident Evil Village moments are much scarier in VR, one player has recently taken to social media to share a neat trick that makes reloading much faster for anyone playing the game on Sony's latest headset. The technique only applies to single-shot weapons such as shotguns, which need to be reloaded one bullet at a time. But as it turns out, that doesn't mean the player has to grab slugs from their belt one by one. In fact, the very action of reaching down to get the ammo appears to imply the protagonist is grabbing a handful of bullets, as single-shot rifles can be reloaded by doing that only once, and then wiggling the hand holding the slugs until the weapon's magazine is fully refilled.

The Resident Evil franchise has been on quite a roll over the last few years. After following up on Village with a more polarizing multiplayer experience Resident Evil Re:Verse released in 2022, Capcom is already wrapping up work on a remake of Resident Evil 4. The latter is scheduled to hit PC and consoles on March 24 as the series' sixth game in the last four years.
