Flame rounds are best used against Nemesis especially when he is down on the ground. Flame rounds leave a bit of fire on the grounds which can damage Nemesis more when he is not moving. You can also use the flame rounds to quickly kill a large group of zombies.

Acid Rounds

Acid rounds are best used against Hunter-β. The acid rounds cause the Hunter-β to get stunned for a good duration while dealing high damage to them and giving you ample time to shoot them on their head. You can also use acid rounds against Nemesis since it deal a lot of damage against him.

Mine Rounds

Use Mine Rounds
Mine rounds should only be used against Nemesis. This ammo type cannot be crafted and can only be found around the maps of Resident Evil 3 Remake. You mainly use the mine rounds to stick them on the wall to force Nemesis down on the ground when he is running around the area.
