You mean Sherry? Actually, believe it or not, she
can hold a weapon. What she can't do is
reload a weapon. (See my screenshot below, which was part of my original post in this thread before I purged it of useless info.) It's kinda hard to make out in the image, but she's holding the infinite minigun, which is literally the only gun worth giving her because it's the only one that you never have to reload. (I'm guessing her inability to reload is due to the fact that she was never intended to wield a gun in the first place.) The other problem with using Sherry this way is that, if you recall, she has the unique ability to crouch when you hold the L2 button...unfortunately, the L2 button also aims your gun. So every time Sherry fires a weapon she crouches at the same time! This is why, in the screenshot, the gun is pointed upwards - when Sherry crouches she pulls her arms to her chest. However, if you look closely, you'll see that the aiming reticle is still pointed in front of her, and the minigun is actually shooting where it's supposed to - at the stairs - despite being held almost vertically. So yeah, lots of things are broken with Sherry, but technically I imagine it could be possible to play through most of the game with her, provided you've got that gun.

Tell me about it! Not so many years ago, cheat codes were common. Almost everyone loved them. They were published in books and magazines everywhere. But today, you mention on Facebook that you like using videogame cheat codes, or modifying your saves, and everyone attacks you "HACKER!! I HATE HACKERS! You stupid CHEATER!! You must SUCK if you use CHEAT CODES!" I get tired of explaining myself. At least on this forum, most people are on the same side.
I'll be the first to admit, I use cheats mostly to make games easier. But if I want my games to be easy, shouldn't I be allowed that right? I work full time. I have a life. I don't have more than a few hours a week to play video games. I like to enjoy the stories. I also like to feel overpowered, and breeze through games without difficulty. Save Wizard is a god send, for me. I love it. I just wish there was more open communication between the actual people in control, and we the users. I send them saves and other messages, and very often they don't reply. When they do reply, if it's to say they can't help (which is often the case) they won't say why, and won't reply any further. Online, there are plenty of people on hackinformer and NGU that are eager to help, but they don't actually work for Save Wizard. None of them do, as far as I can tell. And so they can't do anything with a game until Save Wizard supports it.

I'll try to keep this reply brief, so as not to get too off-topic, but I couldn't agree with you more about the general change in attitude toward "cheating." My theory is that this shift is largely due to the birth (and subsequent massive popularity) of online multiplayer games, which turned "cheating" from a victimless crime (the only player being affected was yourself) into something that can potentially negatively impact however many gazillion other players are online with you. Competitiveness/trophies/achievements changed the whole dynamic. I think this is what started and continued to feed into the masses' vilification of "cheating" in general, regardless of whether you're playing something online or offline, single player or multiplayer, making the game easier or just swapping character models. It's a shame, really, and one more reason I still tend to stick to single player games or revisit those from older generations.

If someone could make a code where you can be untouchable from beginning and all the way until the end of the game for both Leon and Claire that would be perfect.
Trust me, I was thinking the same thing when it happened.
I'm still super new to all this stuff, but I'm guessing my invincibility was a side-effect of my character magically spawning close to the end of the 4th Survivor stage, and using parameters that shouldn't be possible when playing Hunk's stage normally. It's like the enemies in the game knew I was there, but the game itself didn't. My point is, I'm not sure there's a way to recreate this particular invincibility effect without putting the "wrong" characters in the "wrong" places.
I should add that, after the game crashed at the end of my 4th Survivor run, I noticed on the PS4 home screen that I'd been awarded the "Grim Reaper" trophy for "completing" the stage!
Sadly, I only got the PS trophy and didn't unlock the in-game achievement, but still...
