Resident Evil 7: Biohazard brings back the survival horror feeling of the original title in the series, and you'll have to be on your toes to make it out alive. Unlike the last few Resident Evil titles, RE7 is all about using your wits instead of your guns. This article will be a hub for our RE7 walkthroughs and guide content, where you can find the info you need to survive the Baker family and uncover the mysteries of Dulvey, Louisiana.

Resident Evil 7 is a complex game, so our guides and walkthrough will be updated regularly. If you don't see anything that helps you now, check back soon for more helpful info. Also, check out our Resident Evil 7 review to see just what we thought of Capcom's latest survivor horror title.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Hints and Tips

  • Don't always think the next area contains the answer to a puzzle or a new passageway to explore. Resident Evil 7 involves a lot of backtracking. Doors in areas may remain locked for hours until you can find a matching key. Sometimes you need to turn back to a previous location if you find yourself stuck. 
  • It's easy to find yourself getting comfortable if you accrue a sizable stack of ammo in Resident Evil 7. However, never fight unless you have to. Dumb enemies can't open doors, and rarely follow you far, so unless they're in the path of an objective, your best bet is to rush past them. The smarter enemies in the game will give chase, though, and sometimes your only choice is to put them down with gunfire. 
  • It's easy to panic in the face of a strong enemy, or multiple weaker ones surrounding you, but take a breath and aim carefully. Headshots usually do the most damage to enemies in Resident Evil 7, but a shot to the leg or arm of an opponent can slow them down long enough to let you slip away or put some more room between you and your foe before you take the next shot.
  • Item management is an essential component to Resident Evil 7's gameplay. You have eight item slots, and four equipment slots available when the game starts, so you have to be wise when you're collecting items. There are item boxes scattered throughout the game in save rooms that allow you to drop as many items off as you want. A rule of thumb is to drop off any items you don't think you'll immediately use.
  • When you enter a room, make sure to quickly access the entries and exits, as well as obstacles to movement. If there are enemies in the room, knowing where to escape to is essential.
