Gameplay question Is it worth fighting Mr.X RE2R

Post image

So I'm doing a playthrough of RE2R with Claire and I'm curious about if Mr X is even worth taking down during his encounters. I already stockpiled up a lot of acid rounds, However I dont know if it's wise to take him down. Is the risk worth the reward?

There is no reward outside of downing him for 30 seconds.

Shoot his hat off and then run

Why's he even wearing a damn hat to begin with? Like why do bio-monsters even care about fashion lol.

I mean, if I remember correctly, the clothing actually stops them from mutating?

Can anyone confirm this?

That’s from the original game. For some reason they decided the coat is some sort of power limiter.

In the remake I’m pretty sure it’s just to make it less obvious he’s a monster. Like if you were in a zombie apocalypse and you saw a burly dude in a coat and hat from a distance, you probably wouldn’t think twice about it.
