Resident Evil 4 Remake patch notes target speedrunners as sniper glitch gets nerfed

The latest batch of Resident Evil 4 Remake patch notes sees a nerf to the useful sniper glitch that speedrunners often used to get through the game quickly. This particular bug allowed players to warp through walls in certain areas when using the scope, which naturally helped cut down on the time needed to complete the story.

This particular “fix” is a significant blow to the speedrunning community since they will now need to find new ways to get through the game quicker. However, there are also a few other improvements included with the latest update that should slightly offset the previous change. You’ll be able to read the rest of the patch notes below but before you do, check out our how to beat Saddler boss guide and how to beat Salazar boss guide so you can finish these encounters faster.
