I used to try to use the knife to kill zombies whenever I could in RE4 and 5. Recently I launched RE 3 or 2 and saw that it took like 30 knife hits before a zombie died, so this seemed to be a great idea.
But now it seems the knife is too powerful. Most zombies die in one hit. That doesn’t look that fun to me. Sorry.
For what it is worth. You can use these codes with a hex editor to tweak the knife to your liking.
