Quicker reloading
You can make a weapon’s reloading animation shorter by quickly selecting an item (grenade, remote mine, first aid spray), and then switching back to your weapon. Alternately, press [Fire] (without aiming) to perform a gun-butt with the weapon and complete the magazine reload; however, this make your character do the gun-butt animation. This, and other actions (taking cover, diving, etc.), may be faster or slower than weapon switching, but will depend on the situation you are in. These methods allow you to cut down the animation delay periods for certain weapons (notably the grenade launcher), letting you shoot the weapon a few moments earlier. However, these tricks do not apply to weapons with manual actions, such as the six-shot sniper rifle, regular shotgun, Piers’ Anti-Material Rifle, etc.
Alternate sniper rifles uses
The sniper rifle is obviously effective at inflicting substantial damage on distant enemies, but by using the quick-shot move, it can double as a close-quarter weapon. This is helpful when ammo is scarce for close range weapons like the shotgun, Desert Eagle, and Elephant Killer. Piers’ anti-material rifle is a one hit-kill on most enemies near or far.

Easy “B.O.W.s Are Ugly” achievement
Play the final chapter of Chris’ storyline and progress to checkpoint 5-1. Continue until you enter a circular room surrounded by levers. You will be ambushed, and each lever will spawn two Chrysalid B.O.W.s, which you can pull yourself. After killing all ten of them, reload from the last checkpoint and repeat the process as many times as needed. Do not enter the next area or you will get a new checkpoint and have to repeat the entire first section of the level. Your kill progress will be saved even if you do not reach a new checkpoint.
Easy “Hard Choice” achievement
In Jake’s campaign, when fighting the helicopter in Chapter 4 at the part where you see Chris, get on the top of the roof. You will find some ladders and boxes to destroy. The helicopter will sometimes drop enemies on ropes. Get near one of those ropes and press [Action]. Then, climb up and shoot the pilot to get the “Hard Choice” achievement.
Easy “I Prefer Them Alive” achievement
In Chapter 2 of Leon’s campaign, after entering the cathedral, you must solve some puzzles to open the main chamber door in the center of the altar. Afterwards, you will encounter the Lepotitsa. It infects many humans in a short time by releasing C-Virus gas. You must save at least two females in the cathedral. To do this, shoot it as quickly as possible while remaining at a safe distance. However, do not position yourself too far away or you will lose sight of it and it will infect too many people. If you do enough damage, it will expose its weak areas and get on its knees. Once this happens, get close and perform a melee attack for increased damage. Note: This will require a large amount of ammunition on the higher difficulties. Consider doing this after completing the campaign, in order to have better weapons and perhaps infinite ammunition.
