Resident Evil 9 Requiem - Part 4

In this detailed gameplay session of Resident Evil 9, Leon Kennedy returns to a decimated Raccoon City with a primary objective: breaching a heavily fortified gate using C4 explosives. To accomplish this, Leon must scavenge the surrounding military wreckage and abandoned camps for three specific detonator components: a signal receiver, a distributor, and a relay. The environment is treacherous, filled with ash-covered ruins and "infected" enemies that have surprisingly persisted despite the historical missile strike intended to wipe them out. Early in his search, Leon discovers a trashed BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) camp. Upon accessing an unlocked computer, he learns that the BSAA was also mobilizing toward the center of Raccoon City. This discovery triggers a conversation with his contact, Sherry, who reveals a startling discrepancy in the Pentagon’s database: there is no official record of anyone ordering the original missile strike on the city. This revelation suggests a deep-seated conspiracy involving independent factions within the government or the military. Sherry also notes that the Pentagon has been pressuring the North American branch of the BSAA, which has been operating with suspicious independence. Their mission, according to intercepted data, is to retrieve a high-value target or asset known as "Elpus" at a location referred to as the "Ark." The gameplay introduces a "Tactical Tracker," a device that logs Leon's combat data in real-time. By eliminating enemies, Leon earns credits that can be spent at supply boxes for weapons, ammunition, and gear. Throughout the mission, Leon makes several strategic upgrades, including purchasing body armor and a powerful "Alligator Snapper" shotgun. He also finds various weapon attachments, such as a red dot sight and a silenced sniper rifle, which significantly improve his efficiency in the field. The inventory management system remains a core focus, as Leon crafts specialized ammunition and "double-stacked" grenades to handle the increasing enemy density. Leon’s search for the detonator parts leads him through several distinct zones, including a sewage facility, an apartment complex, and a sprawling logistics warehouse. The verticality of the level design is prominent; Leon frequently uses elevators, ladders, and even a crane to navigate the ruins. Combat is constant and varied, ranging from stealthy takedowns of isolated zombies to intense shootouts against snipers and grenade-tossing infected. One of the most significant encounters involves a "lumberjack" zombie wielding a chainsaw. This leads to a high-stakes duel where Leon must use his parrying skills and heavy weaponry to survive the brute’s relentless attacks. As Leon gathers the distributor and the relay, he uncovers further clues about the mysterious forces at play. Sherry provides footage of a man in a white suit—a figure whose identity remains hidden from official databases but who clearly commands authority over the local hostile forces. This "ghost" figure seems to be overseeing the extraction of Elpus, further complicating Leon’s mission. To repair a broken signal receiver found at a secondary BSAA camp, Leon must locate a specific repair kit, forcing him to backtrack through dangerous territory and utilize environmental hazards, such as explosive barrels and heavy machinery, to clear the path. After successfully assembling the three parts and jerry-rigging the detonator, Leon secures a motorcycle found at the camp. This leads to the mission's climax: the gate breach. Using the C4, Leon destroys the military barrier, but the explosion alerts the surrounding forces. The final segment of the transcript describes a high-octane motorcycle pursuit. Leon flees the area on the bike, navigating "bumpy" roads and dodging massive craters while being chased by infected riders. The chase is cinematic and fast-paced, featuring a confrontation with a pursuer named Gideon. Leon is forced to perform high-speed reloads and defensive maneuvers while jumping over obstacles and navigating through collapsing structures. He eventually uses a "special move" to take down the primary pursuers, showcasing his veteran combat experience. The sequence highlights the shift in gameplay from methodical exploration to "Uncharted-style" action, blending traditional horror elements with explosive set pieces. The mission concludes with Leon arriving at the designated coordinates for the Raccoon City center. Despite the chaos of the motorcycle escape and the overwhelming number of infected, he remains focused on the broader mystery of the BSAA’s involvement and the identity of the man in the white suit. The summary of the transcript ends as Leon prepares to investigate the heart of the city, with the stakes higher than ever as the conspiracy surrounding the Raccoon City missile strike and the "Ark" mission begins to unravel. Leon’s survival and the success of his mission now depend on uncovering what the BSAA and the Pentagon are truly hiding in the ruins of the city.
