Important choice - Pedro | Episode 2 - Contemplation RE: Revelations 2 Guide

While playing Claire's campaign, you can make a choice that affects the rest of the episode, mainly in the case of Barry's campaign. You either have to kill, or to escape and leave Pedro alive.

Escape

By circling around the table, you will avoid being drilled through

At the bar, your companion Pedro, turns into a mutant with a drill, after his exposure to the virus. Do not even try to kill him - there is no point in wasting ammo. It is a good idea, though, to run around the table. By running around for several seconds, you will avoid taking damage and, after a while, the bar door will swing open. Then, take a quick dodge and dash outside.

After you climb to the roof, you still need to watch out for the chasing opponents.

Now, you are going to run about a little. Try to shoot several of the opponents and return to the bar area, as soon as you watch the cutscene. A ladder is released to the ground, thanks to which you get to the roof. If necessary, drag several opponents away from it, using a Decoy bottle and climb up the ladder, as soon as the area is clear. Here, you still need to watch out for the opponents, who chase after you, What you need to do is follow your new friend who after a short run, opens the gate for you.

Killing Pedro

The roof is a good vantage point for shooting at the helpless opponent.

If you have enough ammo, you can try killing Pedro. If you decide to do that, it is best if you do not bother yourself with Pedro at first. After the door opens, dash out and want for the ladder to be lowered. A good moment to attack is the one, where he gets his drill stuck in one of the buildings, after a failed charge. An even better moment is after you climb to the rooftop. You do not need to watch out for Pedro's attacks, because he will not follow you up the ladder, most probably. This does not mean, though, that you are completely safe - weaker opponents start appearing around here and they will have no problems climbing to the rooftop, up until you escape. Therefore, it is advisable that you eliminate Pedro quickly and leave the area just as fast.

Differences in Barry's campaign

You can find the drill in the bar, in the location of Pedro's transformation.

If, during Claire's campaign you have killed Pedro, in the bar, you find the drill, thanks to which you can open, later into this episode, a door that would be otherwise inaccessible.

With the drill, you can drill through the door at the top level of the building.

Right after you enter the building (you will be attacked by two opponents before that - from behind the grate, from behind which mutants chasing Neil appeared, in Claire's campaign), go upstairs. With the drill, drill through the door Inside, there is an Insect larva). You can return downstairs or, across the hole, jump into the next building (and collect magnum ammo before that). There, you run into one more opponent and, behind the next door, you walk into a big storage; after that, the game is identical).

To sum up: Killing Pedro in Claire's campaign allows Barry to collect Insect larva and makes it easier, because you are not going to run into Pedro anymore.
