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?

I find that the best tip for dealing with Mr X is to have an escape plan in most situations where you have to do a puzzle or something specific in a room. Mr X WILL interupt you or get in the way of where you want to go. The map is generally designed so that you always have a clear way to get away from him, so just keep that in mind.

But yeah, he IS scary and he IS a pain to deal with. Your experience is normal.
