While it would certainly be nice to run through Resident Evil 2 with this RPG in your back pocket immediately, you’ll need to meet some prerequisites in order to use it first.

The first thing you need to do is play as Leon, as he is the only one that can wield it. Unfortunately, this item is still only available to use during one portion of the game.

Once you’ve reached the final stage of Leon’s scenario, you’ll fight Mr. X. Start out by dealing damage to him any way you can.
