CVX tyrant advice

The very first time I played CVX and got to the tyrant boss right on the plane I ran out of ammo and couldn't beat him just using the knife. When I played the game again a few years ago I just managed to have enoguh ammo to beat him that time. Does anyone have any advice so I won't run out of ammo? I always try to save as much ammo as I can but is there a certain type of ammo I should keep saving or something?

The strong kind. If you're gonna waste ammo, use the less effective weapons up first.

I always saved up plenty of different ammunition for the grenade launcher. I also had some explosive bolts for the bowgun.

Stuff like that will get you through it. Also, you need health.

Ok so save the stuff like gernade rounds, arrows, and magnum bullets while using hand gun ammo and shot gun shells first? As for health how much should I have? 3 aid sprays? I don't remember how much I had last time and I dont know where my ps2 is so I cant go look.

You should talk to Jamesy he's stuck on the tyrant right now.

I remember someone here stating that you could kill it with a knife since it only attacks with one arm, though I haven't tried that. For my own part, I just save up as much heavy ammo as a I can and then let loose.

That's immediately what I had thought of.

Anyway, yes, save those weapons with some firepower, but as for health, there isn't a number that I can give you, just save as much as possible. You can never have too much.

Whenever I play an RE game I always get OCD with the item box, have everything situated, and of course I play conservatively enough to where I don't have to worry about my medical or ammunition supplies too often.

I think from memory the BOW Gas Rounds are the most effective against him. The 3 or 4 rounds that you get are the only ones in the game and were meant to be specifically used on the tyrant.

Hopefully my memory is serving me correctly on this one!

I actually beat him about an hour or two ago. I just used the nade launcher. I had the 4 BOW gas rounds, 6 flames, and a few of the regular then launched him off with the catapult of fun

So basically those BOW and flame rounds you find in the begining of the game save for the tyrant fight and just use some arrows or some other powerful weapon? Also to better conserve ammo what should I use against non zombies like hunters and those things that stretch their arms?

BOW gas rounds help much, but it's pretty easy to beat him with a knife.

Shotgun for hunters, at least.

By knifing him and dodging his attacks?

Save basically any grenade launcher ammo. Don't waste grenade launcher rounds on zombies. And for the bandersnatches (the long stretchy arm things) It's kinda tough to dodge them, but if you can't dodge them I just used the bowgun. Keep your distance and just take a couple steps back when you get the chance. They're very slow making it easy to gain a bit of distance

I used the anti BOW rounds with some flame rounds to off the tyrant. As for hunters, shotgun. Bandersnatch, explosive bolts. At least this is what I found most useful.

Exactly Mass . It isn't hard. You just need like 2 first aid sprays or G+R herbs. I did it the second try.

I just pwned him today. Use ALL of your B.O.W Rounds, then immediately change to the Explosive Bowgun and fire 12 arrows at him. Then, just launch him out of the plane.

Bandersnatches, I guess use the Bowgun. You decide which kind though. I recommend Explosive Arrows.

Hunters, (Still hate 'em. ) use the Shotgun or Flame Rounds.

all bow gas rounds and 3 bowgun explosive arrows is enough.

Well a good way to save ammo is to use the crap out of the knife since its probably so overpowered, well thats what I did

I could never beat him with the knife since I suck at using only the knife in the original games. I was trying to knife zombies in the begining of CVX and kept getting bit lol. So I think I'm good on how to prepare for the Tyrant fight. When it comes to dogs though what is best? So far I have just been running but should I shoot? I don't want to waste hand gun bullets if I don't have to.

I just ran past the dogs. Pain in the ass to kill. Plus you run faster than them anyways

Just run past anything that is too slow/stupid/asleep to catch you.

What about birds lol

Use a lighter for the crows.
