Can you clarify how to use the knife with the handgun upgrade in VR? I've been trying to use the knife in my left hand while holding the silver ghost in my right, but I have yet to see a head pop with the knife, while ganados are standing OR prone. I know it's harder to trigger a stun lock with knife hits to the head in VR, but I'm definitely getting head slashes at least some of the time, but no head pops yet. Am I dual wielding incorrectly, somehow?

Most people don't bother sticking with the default weapon bc of how attractive the new ones are, and the space constraint of keeping the starting pistol in your inventory. Most people that do try it once and leave it at that. I use melee and headshots as much as possible to conserve ammo but I usually ditch the starting pistol early on. This will change my next playthrough! Great video glad to find out something new about my favorite game!

The knife's weapon model changes after Leon gets Krauser's knife. I know this for a fact, because I've modded this game for years. The weapon ID changes, and the new ID has a different weapon model associated with it, like every weapon in the game. So every weapon in the game is an object with different attributes: damage, reload speed, bullet spread, weapon model etc. Also while the first knife has a developer's comment "Knife" in the source code, the second one has "K-Knife" which I assume is short for Krauser-Knife. What's really interesting about these two knives, is that I just made all this shit up. Don't trust everything you read online.

Correction: the absolute best at what normal handguns do, for normal zombies. Red9 is still the best in term of resource-to-damage ratio. Because head criticals do not work against bosses. Only head damage multiplier do and they are different.

Huh, that's actually pretty fascinating. Recently finished a new Resi 4 run where the only weapon I actually bought was the bolt action rifle when you first meet the merchant.

I did my first playthrough using the Silver Ghost last year and had a blast with the 5x headshot crit multiplier, nice to see it had other perks too, even if I didn't notice at the time. Easily became my favourite handgun because of how cheap it was to upgrade and how efficient it could be.

I showed the percentages for the handgun without the exclusive. It's own base critical rate is 10% and for melees and the knife there's a 0% critical rate. Trying the same test with the handcannon equipped would be a waste of time as it doesn't affect the critical rate for the knife/melees. This effect is exclusive to the handgun's exclusive for x5 crits.

So the short answer is: yes, but only with the basic pistol fully upgraded It just sounds like an oversight tbh. Having the gun equipped just applies a global chance to crit to your attacks. Wonder if this applies other kinds of damage, like bashing doors or even rolling barrels

It most likely is an oversight in how the critical chance is applied with the exclusive. Criticals run on an RNG table, with the exclusive just changing the probabilities.

Critical 1 shots on Zombies in Resident Evil 1 Directors Cut for the Playstation 1. Not sure if this matters though I was also playing on the green label greatest hits version. I found a critical 1 hit on zombies with the hand-gun was more a matter of how you attack the zombie and not a random chance. My memory might be faulty on this part but generally this would happen in repeat playthroughs of the game.
