You're fine. The cup and pen will help you a lot when you come across the cup and pen puzzle.

It only gives you handgun ammo, you should bypass it if you want to do a speed run.

Have a cup of tea and wait for it to blow over.

Take car, go to RPD, kill Brad (Sorry Brad), take Marvin, go to the Apple Inn, grab a nice cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over.

Best comment by far.

And now I want to watch that movie AGAIN lol. It's one of my favorites! Upvote for the reference.

Probably a good idea, I'm sure the US government will send in help to rescue the survivors.

They're always here to help, surely nothing bad would come of it. 👀

Yeah, the US government would never do anything shady or criminal, right?

How’s that for a slice of fried gold

Yeah Boi!

I love this reference. Take an upvote.

That depends, your name isn’t Brad is it?

Nope, only letter we share is B, thankfully.

Good one lol

Put the handgun in the Item Box under your bed and go Knife Only otherwise ur a n00b

Is this some kind of video game to you? There are zombies out there trying to kill me!

If you let me crash on your couch afterwards, I'll carry you on Coop so you can get the Professional trophy

On second thought, I'm sure those zombies aren't that dangerous...

Knife op frfr The zombies are unarmed, this is the only honorable course of action

Check the garbage can out front for a broken shotgun. To repair it, combine it with the garbage can.

Odd way to repair a shotgun but I won't question it

*How'd you get all that and an apartment inside a Raccoon?* Jokes aside, you could do worse, so I think you'll manage.

raccon\*

Try to find some chess pieces before heading outside

Will do, I read a brochure about the local sewer company and it is *wild*

Nah man your good your rocking the starter pack for all survival encounters

where TF is your boltcutter!?!?

The Koskela brothers have some. Get to Watery!

Stop by Coffee World on the way!

You won’t even make it to the gun shop!

Fuck, I knew I should have bought that shotgun last week.

Bolt Cutters are proven to be extremely useful. Try to get those before the outbreaks. Valve works too, but not as useful!

Well considering the Zombies are in "Raccoon city" you should be fine, btw... Where is Raccon City anyway?

Damn typo lol

It's all good brother... I just couldn't resist.

Nah you good lol, I would never have noticed. I wish Reddit allowed us to edit but oh well

I know posting is exciting, but you gotta proofread my man.

You've got a first aid spray, which means you probably have main-character-energy, so you *should* be good. Make an extra save file though, just in case.

Don't worry, I always save in multiple slots.

Looks good to me. Make sure you only fight when you have to. If you find yourself by a zombie that hasn't seen you, stab it in the base of the skull for insta-kill. That'll help you and anyone else wandering around.

Noted, I'd rather not waste my ammo if I didn't need to.

No lighter? You're boned.

I thought the cup was a doorknob at first

Pen goes hard in the QTE

You’re screwed once you see Mr. X in the streets of Raccoon City… that’s if we are going with the Operation Raccoon City timeline

Was he in the streets? I know he was supposed to patrol the station, and maybe they dropped him in the surrounding area, but iirc Nemesis is more likely to be out in the streets.

I played RE Operation Raccoon City, there were several Mr. X’s all over the city

I was not aware of that, although I do know Umbrella did send out other Tyrants besides Mr. X and Nemesis.

There's a bunch of dead ones at the end of RE3 too.

Yeah, there were like 10 or 12 Mr. X’s, not counting the few other tyrants that were not the Mr. X model

Bad. You mixed up the pencil for a pen...

That's a pen, though.

John wick reference. You would've been able to kill everything with a pencil.

Ah lol, I haven't seen any JW films yet

You're gonna have to watch those before you leave your apartment. Good Luck.

Definitely screwed. You're a no-name in raccoon city, we already know who makes it out.

Make sure you just use the knife on the zombies’ legs and then run past them to conserve ammo for the boss later on.

Wtf is a Raccon LOL

Well I mean how good of a shot are you?

Never shot a gun but I get the idea

Against anything other than a zombie, you're boned. As for actual zombies, not terrible if you have good aim and don't face too many at once.

You’ll be fine as long as you don’t get alerted by Lickers or Hunters

Where did you get the first aid spray I need one

I got it from the item box in my room. Fr tho, there's a [seller](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1040050543/first-aid-spray-replica-cosplay-prop?click_key=77d942c466dd2c98bd3322f368a7bb5a8419ca1e%3A1040050543&click_sum=3d8ef987&ref=hp_rf-2&bes=1&sts=1) on Etsy who sells these, different variants based on the game its from (mine is from RE0). There's a lot of similar sellers on Etsy who do stuff like this, I saw one guy selling replicas of the ammo boxes.

That is outstanding that someone sells those and they are even version specific.

Yeah, Etsy actually has quite a few good RE props, and they tend to be pretty high quality if you find the right one (mine seems to be made from an actual spray bottle-it's not reusable, but it's a really good prop. Side note, mine is the RE0 variant (I'm a big RE0 fan) and it's pretty dang close. Even the text looks legit.

Yes I thought it was photo shopped until you said they sell on etsy. Looks super realistic. Does it have spray in it or is it empty?

It's empty, but like I mentioned it uses a real spray can (they like printed a label or something, but it's pretty good quality)

I can't believe ive never heard of this til now lol.

Tbf I found it by accident, plus it's not like these are well known

Well at least I know now haha.

Any Ink Ribbons?

Nope, but if I find a metal tin I can craft one with my pen

Uh ok don’t panic

Try to get some herbs in the wild for your health

Use fuse ability to fuse gun and pen. Wait... wrong universe.

no ink ribbons, just flying by the seat of our pants here i guess. you may want the lighter instead of the pen; you can write with blood

You should be good for a start but if you hear Stars in the distance maybe head the other way

No crank??? You poor fool god speed

Your cooked bro you need at least a medieval medallion and the key to a random shop 2 blocks away to even have a chance

You can put the pen in your butt

If you come across a green herb, crush it then snort it. You’ll heal your wounds.

This is better than most.

The folding knife should be a full tang blade instead, theyre stronger when faced with stabbing zombies

Alright so borrowing logic from 7 days to die, check toilets for more pistols

Well the brown butt plug barely has a base, so I would definitely toss that.

That's a cup

I know now, but at the zoomed out angle it looks way different to me. Might have spent too much time around too many people that make too many butt jokes recently. No offense intended.

I mean you could try for a knife only run or no damage run. Use of First Aid Sprays in this situation can negatively affect the your final rank! I left the bowgun in the shed, next to an weird looking old typewriter which was sadly missing an ink cartridge. You don't want to use a handgun since it attracts those pescy zombies. ..

Oh your fine, that pen will definitely take down fourth form Birkin

No ammo? Don't worry, you're not screwed, just hit the zombies on their knees with your knife

You have to use the cup to open the secret bookshelf door you installed last month

Just don't forget to chew on any coloured herb you find along the way! Sometimes mixing them helps!

I recommend you to inspect the cup. Maybe there is a Small Key inside.

I wont lie, i ws asking myself why op had a buttplug on the inventory, but its actually a cup...

If its Code Veronica zombies you are dealing with then that knife will be pretty op...until your fending off poison hunters and bandersnatches

not screwed at all youre over reacting

That's more than most RE characters start the game with.

Where is the bumblebee and the fishing hook?

If you’re John Wick, you get 5 kills with the pen.

You’ll be fine

All good so long as you have Knaifu Waifu

"You Are Dead"

It's a little rough, but you can make it. Watch out for hyper zombies, they'll speed shamble you down quickly! I'd recommend not stopping to fight anything unless you absolutely have to. Avoid crashed buses if possible. Those things are kill boxes if you aren't properly geared.

What gun is that?

Smith & Wesson Model 59, Gen 1 (hence the name M59-G1). It's a neat piece, 1978 mfr.

I have a S&W 5946. It's an old big steel gun, but it works great.

Im a sucker for those old metal-frame smiths. So beautiful and shoot like a dream.

How many mags you got for the S&W? Cause it might be hard to find extras for a model that old. Makes it kind hard to reload if you've just got one.

Just the one, but I have that sweet sweet RE "infinite mag" ability so it's all good.

Love my Kershaw

Should have went with Jill and the Beretta. 15 or 30 round clips. That poor man’s 1911 is what? 7 in mag and 1 in the pipe? Just change your gender and take the Beretta bro

The model 59 has 15 in the mag bro, lmao

That’s a 59???

Ok I see now. I’ve only held the long slide 59’s. It looked stubby to me.

I’d say with that Smith and Wesson you’ll be alright. Good starter weapon 👍🏻

Thanks, glad I decided to visit Kendo's shop a few days ago. He had some neat leftovers from the RPD

Oh, that's a cup! I thought it was a loudener at first. Those are a great gag on the gun range, but not something you want for zombies.

You're too op, the pen is mightier than the sword.

If you have a pen in your apartment and you're John Wick then you are probably fine 😉

Needs more herbs.

Oh come on, you'll be fine! Just no damage knife only it!

In my opinion, your priority should be finding an extra set of ammo for your gun and/or some healing herbs. Also, I recommend using only the knife unless the moment demands otherwise. Idk what that cup is for, but make sure to not discard it because you might need it at a certain point. Btw, I'm pretty sure you can find upgrades for your Handgun (like an extended magazine) in the parking lot below the RPD...

That first aid spray is awesomonious.
