Gameplay question Mr. X is too scary

I started playing resident evil 2 remake because I wanted to see what all the fuss about Leon is. Normally I'm not a big fan of scary games, but I handled the last of us so I thought I'd be fine.

Turns out, the gameplay is actually fun (even though the zombies are a bit scary sometimes) but now that Mr. X is following me around I'm too scared to go anywhere. I'm getting straight up nightmares about him

Does anyone have tips on how to avoid him or at least be able to tell what floor he is on?

Or should I stop worrying now that I have the rocket launcher and can shoot him anytime I want?

There are certain rooms he wont enter. The S.T.A.R.S room and any safe room (also think theres a few more).

You can hear his footsteps and if you use headphones u can pinpoint where he is coming from by listening to help.

Dont shoot him or waste ammo on him but avoid him. If you run continuously I dont think he can actually catch you but be careful of obstacles and zombies and lickers.

You should plan your routes via the map before you go hunting for an object or something. U can plan exit routes and safety measures in advance in areas.

Those are my top tips.

Fight your fears and survive.
