Story

Previously working with the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, or S.T.A.R.S., Chris Redfield dedicates his life to destroying bio weapons and anyone who works to make them. He helped form the Bioterrorism System Assessment Alliance, or BSAA, with Jill Valentine in order to further pursue this goal. Though he's faced many hardships and loss, he never deviates from his path of fighting for a future free from fear.

Gameplay

Chris is a tactical weapons expert who carries a variety of guns and other versatile tools to the fight. He often likes fighting at a range to make use of his many different firearms, most notably, his Magnum. He wants to lock his opponent in place with his vast tools and make it a nightmare for them to get in. If he is in trouble, he can throw out a hitbox and tag his partner in for safety. He may struggle on his own, but he's one of the best team players out there. Although often regarded as the worst character in the game, don't be deceived by this tactical expert; he will mess you up if you're not prepared as he has his own set of strengths to take advantage of.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Range: Chris has several long range options to control the screen with. 5HK and air 5HK cover good angles and can lead into a Magnum shot, 623HP is similar to a beam in function, and his Grenade Launcher hyper gives him cover from an entire screen length away. Magnum: 623HK, the cornerstone of Chris as a character. An incredibly fast, full screen projectile that wall bounces. It can lead to a decently damaging combo on its own, but only gets stronger when paired with a hyper combo or a tag combo. Tag Options: Almost all of Chris' projectiles are great options for getting his partner in from almost anywhere on screen. His Grenade Launcher hyper has five shots total that are all spaced out from each other, making it an incredible lockdown and mixup tool.

Poor Hitboxes: Chris struggles more than any other character to maintain happy birthdays. His hitboxes don't offer enough range to reliably pickup the second character. Reload: To balance out how amazing Magnum is, he has to reload the ammo for it, only having three shots at a time. This hinders his ability to control the screen and often causes him to make a risk or give up damage/oki to get a reload in. Bad Solo: His long ranged projectiles have more benefits for his partner over himself, which means if he's left on his own, he struggles a lot. Despite his long ranged air 5HK being great for lockdown, it's not an overhead. He can't open the opponent up reliably on his own or keep them out due to reload delaying the inevitable and perfect pushblock eliminating most long ranged threats. Underwhelming Arsenal: Despite having several unique moves and mechanics, like prone position, a landmine, an incendiary grenade, and several long ranged gun related moves, they all have relatively niche uses and/or are generally underwhelming. Most of his kit is centralized around controlling the screen with Magnum and his Grenade Launcher hyper.

Unique Trait
