However, many such weapons are very weak and still no match for a firearm of some kind, and should only be considered a last resort. Resident Evil Outbreak presents the first time in the series that players have been given multiple melee weapons, and even their own bodies (via kicks, shoves and rams), to use against enemies. Item swapping is an excellent way to stock up an area for a battle or to leave items for partners behind. However, key items cannot be combined in this way nor can weapons be reloaded without first having both items in your inventory. When picking up an item from the ground, the player can choose to swap it with an item in his/her inventory or combine it with herbs or ammo already inside. If the player presents an item, the character will offer it to the other players who can come up and take it but he/she will still be in the inventory screen. Selecting an item will bring up a series of actions related to that particular item: Use, Equip, Combine or Present. Moving a cursor over an item in the inventory will show a brief description below the EKG (heart monitor).
However, one helpful feature included was an option to ask a teammate to use an item, such as a health item if wounded, or a weapon during a battle. The system often requires the player removing their fingers from the controls to give these commands. The player could only shout various phrases such as "No" or "Wait" hoping the other player/players would understand. The commands and ad-libs themselves only covered the basics, for example if a character was using a stronger weapon on a weaker enemy, the player has no option telling the other player/players to stop using it. While some people preferred this type of system, many despised it with people claiming the phrases would not cover enough during gameplay. The player can select items from his/her teammate's inventory and request it, or ask them to use it. As opposed to using USB headphones or a computer keyboard, players would use a command "ad-lib" system which consisted of ten key command phrases, used with the right joystick on the PlayStation controller, and a button which shot out lines depending on the situation. Resident Evil Outbreak uses a command and ad-lib communication system.
