Resident Evil 5 - I can't even defeat the executioner at the beginning

[Tom84]

Help guys please. It's the part right at the beginning were the executioner slices the guys head off (the one who gave us our pistols). At that stage I only have 10 or so bullets, my partner has about 20. We can't even manage to kill all the weaklings first, because we both run out of ammo and the most ridiculous part is I can't even use my machete? Another thing is, am I right in thinking I can only melee once I have shot them first? This is pretty ridiculous they sure don't give you many other options besides guns, especially since when he punches they fly a couple of metres back lol.

Pretty much why I put the game down and never went back to it tbh

I believe a fair few people who play Resident evil 5, will have played resident evil 4 previously, and become accustomed to how it plays.

If the op hasnt, I can see where he's struggling.

RE games aren't really designed for a single run through. It wasn't until I started doing Veteran that I realised you can (once the wall is down) climb up two levels on to the very top of the building you start in on Public Assembly. Prior to that I think the best way to start is to barricade the door and leave the window clear.

Whom ever completes 2-3 solo on Professional deserves the Platinum. I have never sworn so much at a game until I played that chapter

I've just done that on 1 death due to missing a QTE by a small margin, but I did look up the correct method after struggling my way though it on Veteran.

5-3 was a different story, 30 deaths grinding out my own method. I think its the front runner for worst section now.
