Edition covered

Reference focuses on the 2013 PC/console HD version of the 2012 Nintendo 3DS game. Pictures show that HD version. Infernal difficulty, Wall Blister and expanded Raid content must not be assumed available in the original 3DS release.

Weapon jobs

Jill fires at a nearby Ooze while Parker stands farther back in the room.

Revelations limits carried weapons and ammunition, so choose complementary jobs. A handgun provides routine precision, a shotgun controls nearby pressure and a rifle or stronger specialist handles a different range or durable target. Avoid using the rarest ammunition on every minor enemy.

Weapon jobs
Category	Useful purpose	Conservation choice
Handgun	Routine aimed shots	Use on manageable targets.
Shotgun	Close stagger and crowd pressure	Wait for suitable range.
Rifle	Distant precision	Keep a clear line of fire.
Magnum	High-impact specialist damage	Reserve scarce ammunition.
Machine gun	Sustained fire	Avoid uncontrolled waste.

Custom-part decisions

Weapon boxes allow equipment changes and custom-part management. Compare damage, capacity and firing behavior against the weapon's purpose. A part is useful when it improves the job that gun performs, not simply because it has just been found.

Custom-part decisions
Problem	Useful part direction	Check
Enemy needs too many shots	Damage	Current weapon role.
Reloading under pressure	Capacity or reload benefit	Whether the part fits.
Slow follow-up attack	Firing-rate benefit	Ammunition consumption.
Several similar weapons	Differentiate their roles	Avoid redundant equipment.

Aim for an opening

Ooze enemies can absorb careless fire. Create a stagger or exploit a vulnerable opening before committing several shots. Melee opportunities are contextual, so approach only when the enemy is actually vulnerable rather than expecting an always-safe close attack.

Use subweapons to escape pressure

Grenades and B.O.W. Decoys offer ways to manage groups or create room. Keep enough distance from the effect and use the opening to reposition. A subweapon should solve the immediate problem, not merely add noise to an already safe fight.
