In order for this prompt to appear, Leon will first need to stagger an enemy by dealing some damage to them or by attacking them in a certain spot. The best way to make this prompt appear is toshoot at an enemy’s legwith a pistoluntil they fall to their knees. It is also possible to stagger enemies by shooting them in the head but aiming at their legs is a much more reliable method.
Then, so long as Leon has room to do so, he canwalk behind the enemyhe just staggered, and players canpress the melee button to suplex the enemy.
The more the player progresses througheach chapter ofResident Evil 4remake, the more they will be faced with stronger enemies. Some of these enemies remain staggered for exceptionally short periods, so players will need to be quick if they want Leon to suplex them.
Performing a suplex inResident Evil 4remake isn’t overly complicated, but getting Leon into the position needed to activate it can be a little tricky, especially while fighting enemies in narrow hallways or on small platforms. If the player fails to perform a suplex during their first attempt, they should lure the enemy they’re targeting to a more open area and try again.
