Unfortunately (or fortunately for some), Helena's alternate costume is best categorized as a 'sexy cop' and clashes horribly against her characterization. In addition to the red herb and first-aid spray for healing purposes, she has three incendiary grenades which provide instant kills for most enemies.

Thankfully, the rest of Helena's inventory makes up for it. This means that Helena must either consistently keep her distance while using it or she must use quick shots which will eat up her energy. As such, this could mean the difference between taking down an enemy and getting pounced on.

Her Sniper Rifle may be powerful but it is inconvenient due to the fact that there is an animation that prevents her from moving very far following each shot so there's a frustrating delay between shots. Maddeningly, Helena is once again short-changed with her secondary. Her primary weapon is the Ammo Box 50 which functions like a machine gun but has the power of a handgun.
RESIDENT EVIL 6 HELENA UPGRADE
This is a slight upgrade from her default outfit. Helena's alternate outfit can be selected upon achieving an A-rank with Helena's default on any stage. As such, the Hydra functions best in a capacity where she'll have enough room to reload without being interrupted or attacked. This could prove deadly should she need to reload when a horde of zombies approaches.

Though it may pack a little bit of power, it only carries three shells at a time and has a slow reload speed. Though shotguns in general prove to be powerful weapons within the Resident Evil franchise, Helena gets stuck with the less-than-stellar Hydra. The best strategy for Helena remains in utilizing her handgun in order to rack up a combo and using it smartly so as not to run out of ammo - this means using it to set up melee attacks. She's presented as a mid-level character whose primary weapon is the Picador handgun and her secondary is the Hydra shotgun. In "The Mercenaries" mode separate from the main game wherein the goal is to eliminate as many zombies and monsters as you can before the timer runs out, Helena is unlocked upon achieving a B-rank on the Urban Chaos stage.
