Like the first two games, there are two protagonists, and her brother Chris.

Some less dynamic changes are the addition of continues and the ability to pick up and use herbs when one's inventory is full. A unique feature is the ability to dual wield pistols, letting the player target two enemies at once. Items from Resident Evil 2, such as upgradeable handgun parts and 'side packs' for larger item capacity are featured, as well as new weapons such as explosive crossbow bolts and Anti-B.O.W. Many features have been brought over from RE3 (since both were created in tandem) such as oil drums and a 180 degree turn.

Two weapons (Sniper Rifle and Linear Launcher) can be fired from the character's view and the unlockable minigame has a first person mode available. However, the player still has no control over the camera as it swings between semi-fixed angles and the skybox is pre-rendered. Resident Evil Code: Veronica is the first Resident Evil game to use a 3D background instead of pre-rendered ones.
