Congratulations you've officially done more research than any games journalist
Why would anyone want to read from them anyways lol
A la
@@DraftFaun919 they're fun to meme on. I remember one video where the guy was so bad at video games he shot the health pack in doom
more than Capcom have done for the remakes..
@@antonioarredondo9680 I'm still waiting for a breath of fire sequel
Fun note!
The Anti B.O.W. Gas was first introduced in the Original RE2 and can be leaked in the living quarters in the Lab to deal with the Lickers and it does make them easier to kill
after Code Veronica they are teased in Dead Aim but are never seen or used, sadly
Crapcom removed the Anti B.O.W. gas from the game in the Remake
Apparently, the developers forgot to put in the file that Claire can find. It reads something along the lines of "Due to the escape of a Gulp Worm, USS recruits have been armed with BOW Gas Rounds to help combat it etc". It was meant to appear somewhere around the training facility, where you find the bow gun.
Wait, really?
They seem to be a good crowd control weapon. Use one against a large group then switch to a dual wielding weapon and take them out in a few shots, saving tons of ammo.
Never tried it like this but it would make total sense.
Yeah but you only get 3 of them in the entire game so you better make damn sure you use them in the right spot. Plus ammo is super abundant in this game so it doesn’t matter that much.
@@assassinonprozac true, which begs the question; were they planned to be removed entirely and that one set was left in?
@@InkWarrior No I think they were only supposed to be used for the Tyrant fight and nothing else. The fact that you get them right before the Tyrant fight, there’s only one set of them, the Tyrant is one of the only bosses they work on, and literally everyone agrees they are best used for the Tyrant fight makes it pretty obvious they were supposed to be used there. It’s not like Code Veronica doesn’t have other stuff like this either, the sniper rifle is a normal weapon that can be used on anything but you’re obviously supposed to use it in the Nosferatu fight for the same reason (except you lose the sniper after the Nosferatu fight because you switch to Chris after it). You don’t have to use the sniper rifle (in fact there’s an entirely different ending cutscene for beating him with the handgun or knife) but it makes the fight infinitely easier. Plus these things are way too strong to have more than a couple sets of them.
@assassin on Prozac
This
Based on this video, great job by the way, it looks like the BOW rounds only damage T-virus enemy types and not T-Veronica enemy types.
Yes! Love the attention to detail
That actually makes sense, if this is made out of the same anti-B.O.W. gas from the underground Lab in RE2, they only seemed to have the T- virus strain to test it on, even the G-virus was fairly new back then.
I had the same thoughts while looking the video...^^
@@CodenameAlejo actually that’s accurate and canon, this rounds are made after the gas in resident evil 2, there’s a fuel talking about them in resident code Veronica or it might have been a video I don’t remember
I love the grenades in resident evil, they have got so many varieties, fire, acids, freeze, land mines, etc
The minethrower in OG RE3 isn't a grenade launcher 😂 bit of a giveaway seeing as it's called a minethrower 🙈👍😂😂😂🤤🐃💩
@@aaronchapman6994 Same for the minethrower in RE4, probably the same weapon just done with higher quality textures.
@@aaronchapman6994 what's with the emojis?
Minethrower was a separate gun until Remake 3. Wished it stayed that way. I loved the Heat Seeking Mines in the original 3, u shoot one at a bunch of zombies and hear most of them exploding
I managed to pick up the infinite B.O.W. Rounds in Claire's Battle Game and use them on the Tyrant boss - he was down after about five rounds. They seem tailor-made for him.
Es un instakill
I tried to use the BOW gas rounds in the battle game before fighting the tyrant. I got owned by the hunters in the next few rooms so I couldn't enjoy using the BOW gas rounds. And you were right that it's meant for killing the tyrant in the battle game.
Hell yeah everytime I fought the tyrant I lit his ass up with bow gas rounds.
All these years playing this game in its many forms and I never even knew that BOW grenades in the Battle Game was a thing. Do you get them from the slot machine like Wesker's Magnum? I just went AK-47 happy from a distance and that did the job. You don't get much breathing room for an A Rank. But it can be done.
@@danielthomas7193 yes, you can randomly get it in the slot machine.
I use BOW Rounds on Steve. They can be used immediately when taking control of Claire when he starts chasing you with the axe. It causes him to flinch long enough to avoid any damage 👍
The moment I saw this video - I HAD to watch it! Code Veronica has always been one of my favorites in the series, and it doesn't get brought up as often as some of the other 'Classic Style' RE games.
Code veronica is the best..or at least tied with the best. It was the original 3 right...
@@jeremygalloway1348 The actual RE3 is RE3: Nemesis. Talk all you want about how CV was being made before and blah blah blah but which one has the 3 in the title? Also RE3 is far better than CV.
@@Griggs58 How do you see nemesis as being far better? It's damn good but not far better. Nemesis only has 3 in the title due to legal crap.
@@jeremygalloway1348 Gameplay improvements, better characters/dialogue, Nemesis is way cooler than literally everything in CV, and it’s straightforward. CV is so goddamn long and you feel every bit of that length bc how annoying the game can be.
@@Griggs58That is a seemingly pretty strong response, but I think CV makes more sense as the sequel title to RE2 than Nemesis, with such things as actually taking place after the events of 2 and not at the same time, and at the same place, like what you would expect a side story to do. I think they are both good games, and that CV doesn't deserve to be saddled with the reputation of being a "spinoff title" and receive so much less attention for it than Nemesis did like getting the remake treatment. And saying that 3 should be a mainline title just because it got the number in it in the end isn't a foolproof reason, as I would never hear someone argue that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is a true sequel to the series as opposed to Adventure or even Mania.
when i tested these, they did half damage to all enemies in the room, untill the game rounded half a hp down to 0, the way i used them would be to fire one at a boss to do about a third of their health as damage than finish off with tapfiring claires custom handgun, couple mags tends to take most down
Yeah I wonder if it's better to use one for several bosses or use all three for the plane fight
@@InkRibbon well i havnt done a CVX run for a while, but i vaguely remember dropping one on the walking tyrant phase, followed by 20 rounds from the custom pistol. then in the plane firing another at the tyrant, and following it up with a couple magazines, not sure at what point he was 'dead' as he was off screen and tapfiring the custom pistol empties it in a second or two (kinda why i like to make sure chris always has access to it for the second half of the game) but 40 shots, one gas round and a crate was enough to finish him off, least it was on the ps2 PAL version. though when the hard code veronica game mods come out, a round that stuns everything in a room will be super useful (looking at you lord of necropolis acid bath room)
@@InkRibbon I suppose it depends what kind of fun you’re after. Speed run? No damage ? Both? 😎 because the plane fight can get tricky and random.
That's a lie
That is fascinating. I haven't played CV in a good while and I'm watching Maximilian Dood's playthrough, and yeah seeing the Gas rounds again was a surprise. It's also curious how someone at Capcom thought to make ammo out of the B.O.W. Gas from RE2. Pretty amazing stuff, kudos Kai!
Well if you want a classic RE mystery to solve, there's always the vending machine room where you first see Sherry before she scurries through the hole in the nailed shut door. If you look at that room on the building interior map, and compare it to the geometry of the building's exterior, there's obviously a room missing. The police station's original restroom, perhaps?
Oh yeah, I always wondered about that.
Omg this game actually feels accessible again knowing that I don’t have to spend the first half constantly worried that I won’t be able to beat the tyrant 💀
I remember these rounds being useless af, never understood how they actually work. Great research anyway.
The problem with the BOW rounds is you only got 3 so you could not easily experiment with them.
another thing
regarding the boss in the plane ( and the huge alexia boss ) which are both hard.
just save your explosive arrow ammo for them - they suddenly become easy.
glad to see an in depth on this. I always imagined it was designed to weaken enemies since that was the purpose of BOW gas in re2. Cool to see the varying effects, I never knew they could hit everything in the room like that.
If code Veronica ever gets a remake they better not cut most of the rounds for the grenade launcher
I'm more worried if they remake RE Code: Veronica that Capcom will cut out a lot of content. Like Capcom did with RE3.
@@IslandBoy-808 4 is definitely getting a remake, I don't think anything is happening for CV, especially since you can still buy it on the Xbox game store.
@@tadpolegaming4510 you can still buy 4 as well, as far as I know
@@tadpolegaming4510 Well , for me,RE4 is my least favorite RE game.
you will be able to buy the BOW rounds as DLC, calling it now
Little fun fact the BOW gas rounds were originally supposed to be in Resident Evil Outbreak along with another grenade ammo type that was scrapped fire extinguisher rounds.
The fire extinguisher rounds were originally going to be used on Hellfire to extinguish Flames to access doors but it was also scrapped. The BOW gas rounds game files are still in the game you just can't access them in game when you use the gas rounds the game doesn't crash but there's no animation to fire them.
I've always used the BOW rounds on the Tyrant fight - either on the 1st encounter outside the Training Facility as he blocks your path to the palace or the 2nd and final encounter on the plane.
I was always curious that there was only 1 set of 3 rounds in the ENTIRE game but I just naturally assumed they done a lot more damage than the more common rounds e.g. Fire, Acid etc.
Thank you Ink Ribbon for doing the research. I certainly concur with your assessment. I say big respect to all RE Code: Veronica / C:V X players here too. 👍👍👍
Great video, Kai! The official guidebook says "you only get 3 shots, so it can be considered ammunition exclusively for the Tyrant." ...but after seeing how well it takes care of those moths 🤣
That moth hallway belongs in the deepest pits of Hell. I'm hoping with in progress fan remake of Code: Veronica, they either remove that section or alter it to make it more fair. Like the moths don't respawn if you kill them.
@@danielthomas7193 Yes! That would be a great idea. Or maybe whoever has the lighter could burn the nests or whatever so they can't respawn.
The BOW rounds are definitely need to come back. It's actually interesting to see such weapon that actually useful. I never use them in CVX but maybe I have to now.
And BOW gas round actually one of the ammo in Outbreak but was scrapped. I've imagine how easy the boss fights in very hard would be.
Thanks! I've always wondered about those BOW gas rounds. I always figured they just did a bit of extra damage and that was it.
The fact that they ground every zombie in a room would make them a nice tool for scooting through the really highly populated rooms.
I completely forgot we made these! Yeah, documentation was sparse because they were made as mostly a knee-jerk response to the B.O.W.s breaking loose and were never tested extensively because of their obscurity and most conventional weaponry still seemed effective enough. They wer deemed as 'noteworthy and mildly effective, but not worth further development and implementation.' The 'gas' inside them is actually a more potent version of the sedation chemicle that is used in the suspension baths when test subjects are put in stasis. In small quantities, they sedate the subject and put them in a continuous sleep. When concentrated and weaponized, they cause severe tissue degredation in T-Virus cells. They're only 'mildly effective' because they lose effectiveness with repeated use against the same target, with some very rare circumstances that they can kill the target outright.
I had this in my "watch later" section for a long time, and I finally watched it, lol. Awesome! I always thought that they were meant to be related in some way to P-Epsilon. Since they don't usually deal lethal damage, but just affect the overall healthpool by percentages, my guess is that they are supposed to weaken BOWs, probably by messing with their metabolism or something and making their regeneration worse. Which is of course especially useful with Tyrants, which have super-powered healing.
P-Epsilon is called that because it is meant to work on creatures derived from the Epsilon strain of the virus (the t-Virus type used in RE1, and which the one in RE2 and RE3 is derived from). So it not having an effect on t-Veronica mutants (Nosferatu, Steve, Alexia, and even Alexia's babies as seen in the video) actually makes sense.
Again, great video!
I am currently replaying code for Veronica after years and years. It just seems like a needlessly hard mean game.... I'm sure if I remembered it more it wouldn't be so bad but I'm going to be quite glad for it to be done.
It's one of the best RE games out there. Highly underrated imo. I know it's hard in the beginning but once you know the game inside and outside it's a lot of fun to replay it 🙂
@@instrumentaldude8349 agreed. It was the last good Resident Evil game.
@@omardelmar couldn't agree more! 🤟 will always be my favorite. Wesker was also a badass in this game. Still miss him, he made RE for me 🙂 that final battle with him and Chris still gives me goosebumps. "Sure I'm not human anymore...BUT look at the power I gained! 😃 Grtz 🤟
It's not as hard as you think, especially when you had the knowledge that knife is the 2nd most useful weapon in the game
@Spoonful 129 his voiceacting was over the top for sure but I loved him in this game anyways 🙂
Well, in like 90% sure the Tyrant is referred to as a "BOW" in some of the documents you find along side others like the bandersnatch. I can't recall when/where you get them, but I feel like it wasn't long before the plane fight or slightly after.
I'd like to see the B.O.W rounds comeback one day. I think there could be a lot of strategy in when to use, just hopefully they'll explaine how they work.
The BOW gas rounds were originally supposed to be in Resident Evil Outbreak along with another ammo type fire extinguisher rounds which you use to extinguish fires to access doors in hellfire but they were both scrapped.
they should do this for the RE Outbreak remake, could make exploring the map in single player much easier to play but nerf it by removing Points if you decide to use it in single player mode
@@_Circus_Clapped_ what remake?
That's a cool tip for the tyrant fight. I knew about it cutting the health of the lower tier enemies by half. I never used them on bosses. For the longest time, I just thought they knocked base enemies down, letting you move past them safely. Yeah, I think it's curious that the devs didn't really explain how the BOW rounds works, but I guess they wanted players to experiment.
I recall doing something like using one BOW gas round on the plane, then using other weapons such as the bow gun then only had to hit the button once.
Then used BOW gas on one of Alexia's forms near the end, then just blasted away with other things. It appears doing this shortened the fight and consumed fewer resources.
Granted the last time I tackled this was early 2017. So, it has been a while.
After all these years I thought they were useless. Pretty cool to know that it can temporarily drop a group of zombies and give you time to escape.
My theory is that the rounds were made specifically for that fight but didnt want to specifically say so to avoid spoilers of the upcoming fight. And from a lore point of view the rounds were made as a counter for already existing BOWs known by the research team under alfreds order which and as to not have any weapons available to directly hurt his family these were manufactured in a way to not harm them which is why alexia and alexander are not affecred by them.
The gas rounds are too op
Tyrant was jewish XD
The additional scream at the end of the tyrant boss fight was unexpected
I remember the very first time I played this game, found these rounds, used them, and never seen any more in the game. I thought I missed them.
Thanks, very informative!
I thought that this was a video about unused ammo type. Good thing it is in the game. I need to play Code Veronica.
It's actually unused in the outbreak games (or at least the first one)
@@unsavourylittlerunt Yeah I know. Outbreak is awesome. Recently started playing it.
Before the vid even started, and not having played Veronica, I thought "I bet they halve the health of enemies". And sure enough...
Sometimes things don't have to be so hard or mysterious.
First time I see someone do their own research AND reach the correct conclusions
As soon as i picked them up in my first playthrough, i had a feeling i needed to save them for a boss. Once tyrant showed up in the plane, i figured i might as well use them on what i thought was the final boss. So i essentially used them for their intended purpose through sheer dumb luck
This actually makes me want to boot up a new game of CV. Thanks man. I have always wondered about them!
Well in classic RE2 they did explain that P-Epsilon gas weakens cell structures of B.O.W. but prolonged exposure has caused some of them to develop a resistance to the gas, and some even gets nutrients from it, like that overgrown plant in the shaft of the underground research facility
I guess only 3 rounds make sense. It was all supposed to be used on Tyrant (or the completely optional worm fight in the courtyard) You were never meant to take it to the 2nd half of the game (unless you need an easier time to defeat the worm as Chris)
9 handgun rounds is a bit too wasteful (and slow), 1 explosive arrow is enough for the catapult to finish it. Then again, if you went through the trouble of hacking extra gas rounds in, you can do the same with explosive arrows, then you won't need the gas rounds at all when you have what is essentially a rapid fire rocket launcher
It's great that they programmed the ammo to kill some enemies and not the others. That shows care they took to make the game.
Every time I played Resident Evil: Code Veronica, I never actually knew what the B.O.W. rounds did, but thanks to the easy experiments you did I finally know what the B.O.W. rounds do now, they cut the enemy's health in half and it makes it a lot easier to kill them, it doesn't work on all enemies but that's ok so just save em for the tyrant boss fight on the plane, so thank you very much for doing these tests Ink Ribbon, now I can play Resident Evil: Code Veronica even better now ✊
In Claire's battle game you can't win against Tyrant without B.O.W. gas rounds. The plane Tyrant fight can be easily won without using them entirely - just find all the explosive arrows and save them for the plane fight (start with the box, fire all rounds, finish with another box). B.O.W gas rounds go well with the first Tyrant encounter.
You've are officially the number#1 Resident Evil Vlogger. Have never seen this kinda material on any other Resident Evil RUclips Page and for that you got my subscription and continued support.
From lore standpoint, we kinda already have new BOW rounds in RE7 & RE8
Actually the idea of having like ammo/weapon to somehow crowd control enemies for a bit is pretty good.
Lmfao that “Never struggle w this boss fight again… ok?” I heard both empathy and pain in your voice ❤️
so it probably works as poison for BOW
It doesn't work on bats because those aren't B.O.W.s but simple bats.
They kill the moths instantly in Antarctica; and them not working on spiders makes sense as you fill that one spider room with ANTI BOW gas in Antarctica to grab the gas mask and they were just fine. Plus, I believe this is the same gas technically mentioned in original re2 in the labs- the one that mutates the lickers between A and B playthroughs if you turned it on.
I think the BOW rounds could be a special item unlocked at the end of the game,requiring some tasks,like the classic infinite weapons.
Some of your content just seems so random on first glance, and I love it cause it's always a good time ^^ I knew the BOW Gas Rounds were best used for the Tyrant fight, but never WHY, so it's awesome that this fairly obscure thing now finally has a real explanation (or at least as close to one as we're gonna get).
Seriously, I love your channel, Kai. I've loved this series through all its highs and lows, so I greatly enjoy anytime you cover RE content.
The B.O.W. Gas Grenade Rounds are 40mm grenade rounds whose warheads are filled with the same P-Epsilon Anti B.O.W. Gas used in the B.O.W. gas sprinkler system of the lab in RE2. Thankfully there's no evolved Lickers in Code Veronica that can become stronger due to prolonged exposure to it.
Thx. Tyrant in the plane has been my Gandalf on the bridge: "You shall not pass" now I will give CV an new try asap.
“Literally can’t miss him”
Proceeds to shoot round out the back of the plane lol
Huh, neat!
Any chance of a video of grenade rounds in general?
What they are effective for and do across all RE games.
I think this would be a great video. If I remember correctly, Kai said in his latest stream - the RE3 stream with Lisa, that even he didn't find out what exactly the Freeze rounds did and how useful they were until recently. Some RE games give info on the usefulness of Flame vs. Acid rounds. But in general, grenade ammo is underexplained, despite the grenade launcher having the most variability in ammo with all its different types. It'd be awesome to see a video on this cool weapon and all its ammo types (and their various names, i.e. grenades, rounds, shells) in RE - Acid, Mine, Flash, Neuro, Electric, Explosive, B.O.W. Gas, Freeze/Nitrogen, and Flame/Incendiary. There's just so many! Save us Kai! Lol.
@@rhysiare :)
I second this. 👏
And I third this, good suggestion 👏
@@offspringfan89 Thanks
These resident evil videos are awesome thanks dude!!🙂👍👍
I think ammunition is overlooked in general. Ironic too as it is arguably the most important thing about a gun, without it, the gun is a metal bat at best and paperweight/door stopper at worst.
Interesting. Code veronica uses the exact same model for the grenade rounds, as original RE1
So basically they work like Demi in Final Fantasy, where it has diminishing returns and works best on enemies with higher health pools.
This is the kind of RE content I really like seeing. The BOW rounds were always such a mystery to me as a kid and they were my favorite just because of that. I thought there was nothing cooler then grenade rounds specifically made to kill zombies. Love this video!
So, it's more or less like a can of RAID. Does various things to various things, but spiders don't care. Gotcha.
I never even knew about those gas rounds when I played code Veronica.
They are in the ''please deposit your metallic items in the box'' room. You can only get them after you come back to the prison area with one of the eagle plates to open the door to the torture house.
Great video Kai! Definitely inspired to go home and play this again. I always just dropped these in the item box and never uses them because I didn't like that they turned everything green.
Correct English is: "require fewer catapults" not "less"
"less" would only be correct with a singular word like, "require less use of the catapult"
First time I saw them I immediately made the connection with the Anti-BOW gas in RE2 that you can unleash in the labs to weaken the enemies there. So I just assumed it worked the same way in CV but as a Grenade Round. Never made the connection that it cuts the health in percentage though. Just assumed it made enemies take more damage when shot.
I always found them useless but I never tried them in the tyrant fight. Have to try it next time I play cvx.
I find it interesting that it doesn't affect the spiders or Nostratu which are both poison type enemies which might give a hint to what the gas is made out of since animals that are poisonous are immune to their own toxins.
Maybe if code veronica gets a reboot someday if Capcom ever decides to do so maybe we'll get some info on the b.o.w rounds.
It makes sense that the BOW rounds don't work on Alexia or Nosferatu as it only works on those infected with the regular T-Virus. The Veronica strain is probably altered enough for the rounds to not work.
These Gas Rounds are made specifically made for Tyrant.
Wait so it's basically the gas from RE2 you can release in the Umbrella lab? Neat.
After finding out about the knife actually being a kick ass weapon and the BOW rounds now, Code Veronica is a much easier game from an ammo management standpoint. It feels like a natural progression of the Classic RE games. You start off struggling and scared, low on everything, but the more you learn about the games you end up like a kick ass action hero on your 5th playthrough. There should have been an unlockable file you can find that explains these things tho, at least after you beat the game once or in battle mode.
Damn I always thought those rounds sucked.never experimented with them due to only 3 rounds.pretty cool kai.
You might be the only dude out there with a good strat for that tyrant on plane
Damn. It's been quite exactly 20 years since I completed CVX and I have had no idea of this logic until now.
They were made as a solution for the Tyrant airplane fight as the devs knew they fucked up with the boss design.
Probably one of the reasons the grenade rounds were never brought back. Imagine this being in the Resident Evil Remake, would save a ton of ammo and effective against crimson heads.
They could totally be modded in or brought in as an unlockable.
crazy shit, I always used this for the tyrant boss. I link different and "powerful" weapons to boss and big monsters, so I saved for him. I Always start by shooting him with it, and you know the rest. I never used with any other monsters, so Thanks for this video :3
3 catapults...half of 6....ok, we've expended my capacity for mathematics
B.O.W rounds was probably an experiment for this game itself (let the public figure it out and fun with it)
They should ABSOLUTELY bring them back. They are my favorite ammo ever, and add so much intrigue to the game. Years into the future, people are still fascinated and investigate the optimal use of the ammunition type.
It was so satisfying watching you step on that moth’s head. I always hated those pesky moths the most in the game.
These are the most interesting rounds/ammo, since they are pretty unique to the RE universe, and won't be found in other games
Next question: what the ever living hell does the upgrade for Chris' handgun do???
22 years later and I finally understand. Mega kudos.
Those zombies getting a face full of Claire's gas.
clearly we can conclude that some of the enemies and are probably paranormal-origined rather than bio-origin.
According to Code Veronica X. The gas rounds are so weak their main purpose is use on zombies to temporarily stun them. Kind of like a powerful flash grenade. I also heard rumors that they do extra damage on the Stranger Things fly trap monster in Resident Evil 2.
EDIT: Huh, according to the comments, I guess gas rounds LOWER DEFENSE. Interesting.
I think the reason why gas rounds don't do any damage to those bosses is because the devs might have assumed that people would have used them up before claire's antarctica section, thefore they didn't program the gas round for those bosses. This is just a theory though.
or those are onlu designed to kill T Virus but not T-Veronica infected enemies
Holy cow.
This was one of the best written and executed videos ever. Instant sub.
Can't wait to see your channel grow
i remember i saved those rounds for a final boss fight, in my mind it was like, "hell, im not using this with the very first boss, ill save them for one stronger" now i understand that feeling of "did this make some real damage"? the answer was nope, should have used them with the tiyrant
I remember doing that one achievement that requires only after the plane crash, and no first aids.
I got all the way to the final boss, and took me so long to I was at danger literally one hit from dying at the the timer was at 00.00.02 I wished I recorded it, because I never reacted so crazy for a video game
I banged my head against the wall for hours trying to figure out how to beat that tyrant in the plane. Didn’t realize these were kinda made for him. I ended up using them on those yellow Stretch Armstrong lookin enemies.
It would make sense as to why the gas didn't worked on the spiders and Nosferatu. They're both poisonous enemies, and the gas ammo seems to be a poison weapon. It likely worked alot on the moths despite being poisonous because of how weak they are. Just stepping on them lightly would kill them easily.
i think its that becouse they are infected with T-Veronica
These were so satisfying back in the day. Watch a room full of zombies just fall down, then mop them up with something else. Most underrated grenade launcher rounds, these.
The theory behind why the BOW rounds do not work on Nosferatu / Alexia is because the gas only works on enemies infected with the T virus, and not the special T-Veronica virus created by Alexia.
BOW and Freeze rounds should have more appearances than only a single game.
On my first run i had to start over at the tyrant fight on the plane because i only had some handgun ammo and crossbow bolts
