Resident Evil Requiem Fans Have One Big Issue With Leon Must Die Mode

Fans of Resident Evil Requiem are disappointed with the recent release of Leon Must Die Forever. The new mini-game is a challenging roguelike mode where players control Leon S. Kennedy and must complete all levels and the final battle within a set time limit, all without losing a life.

Resident Evil Requiem was well-received for its clever use of two different gameplay styles. Players experience the game through both Leon and a new character, Grace Ashcroft, and each character’s sections reflect their unique combat approach. Leon’s gameplay is fast-paced and action-oriented, while Grace’s is slower, more focused on suspense and horror. This difference is also reflected in their inventories: Leon can carry more items like ammo and health packs than Grace.

Resident Evil Requiem Fans Have a Problem With Leon Must Die Forever’s Hatchet Repair

The new mini-game, Resident Evil Requiem, unexpectedly launched on May 8th and lets players revisit campaign levels as Leon. While some were hoping for a Mercenaries mode, player reactions have been mixed. Now, many are frustrated that the game doesn’t allow Leon to sharpen his hatchet. One Reddit user explained that this makes it harder to perform quick, powerful attacks, as the hatchet can break or become damaged. They’ve also noted that they’re forced to rely on their gun for certain enemies to avoid wearing out the weapon.

How to Repair the Hatchet in Leon Must Die Forever

  • Pick up Hatchet Repair from boxes and boss arenas
  • Check the Ability Enhancer for Hatchet Repair
  • Grab the Parry Recovery ability, which fixes 40% of the hatchet’s durability when players pull off a perfect parry. However, this is useless if the weapon is already broken.

Look, I get why a lot of Resident Evil Requiem fans are bummed about the hatchet sharpening being gone in Leon Must Die Forever, especially with permadeath being a thing. It was a cool feature! But honestly, the developers clearly wanted to push us to really think about our strategies and figure out the best way to beat Leon before time runs out. It’s a tough challenge, but that’s part of the fun, right?
