Save Ammo on the Mine Cart (Leon's Campaign)

While playing through Leon's campaign, you'll arrive at a point in the second chapter where you must ride in a runaway mine cart while facing off against a nasty enemy. You also need to avoid striking against overhanging barriers. Your apparent job is to blast an enemy that is attached to the cart, but doing so wastes your precious ammunition because the event is actually scripted. The only way to win is to shoot TNT, which requires as little as one shot when the time comes. Therefore, the easy way to survive this segment (regardless of your difficulty setting) is to drop down so that you're lying on your back and facing the enemy that is hanging onto the front of the cart. Remain on your back so that none of the overhanging barriers hit you, then blast the TNT when necessary. That strategy makes the whole section a lot easier and conserves your ammunition.

Reload Animation Cut

As with many animations in games, Resident Evil 6 allows you to prematurely "cut" a reloading animation by quickly selecting a grenade type item (grenade, remote mine, first aid spray) and then switching back to your firearm.

As an alternative, you may also attempt to press the fire button (without aiming) to perform a gun-butt with the weapon, which also "completes" the magazine reload, but places your character in the gun butt animation. This, and other actions (taking cover, diving, etc.) may be faster or slower than weapon switching, but will depend on the situation you are in (esp. the very fluid situations in Mercenaries Mode).

This animation exploit allows you to cut down the animation cool-down periods for certain weapons (notably the grenade launcher), letting you fire the weapon a few moments earlier. This exploit does not apply to weapons with manually worked actions, such as the six-shot "Sniper Rifle", the regular shotgun, Piers' Anti-Material Rifle, etc.
