Shooting the Lake Triggers a Unique Death Scene

There is a secret way to die immediately in Chapter 3. Once you encounter the lake and before boarding the boat, stand on the edge of the dock and start shooting at the water. After a few shots, a cutscene will trigger where the Del Lago will immediately kill you. This secret mechanic is also implemented in the original game.

Shooting Range Music is From the Original Game

You first encounter the Shooting Range in Chapter 3. If you played the original Resident Evil 4, then the music playing in this area will sound familiar. It is the music from the original game's opening cutscene.
