Resident Evil 9 Requiem: How to sharpen the Hatchet in the story and LMDF
Resident Evil: Requiem equips the protagonist Leon with a hatchet that serves as a versatile combat weapon throughout the game. The hatchet functions as both a defensive tool, allowing players to parry incoming attacks, and an offensive weapon capable of cutting down enemies with distinctive combat animations. To maintain its effectiveness in combat, the weapon requires regular maintenance including sharpening and repair.
The article provides a guide for maintaining the hatchet across two distinct gameplay modes: the main story campaign and the “Leon Must Die Forever” DLC. These modes operate under different mechanics and rulesets specifically governing how weapon sharpening and maintenance work. Players will need to adjust their maintenance strategy depending on which mode they’re playing. The story mode features one set of maintenance requirements, while the DLC presents a modified system with potentially more challenging mechanics. Understanding how to properly maintain the hatchet in each mode is essential for keeping Leon combat-ready throughout his playthrough.
