I’m struggling with the Mr. X boss battle. Any tips or strategies?

This fight against Mr. X is largely about surviving the timer. Your primary objective is to avoid his attacks and wait out the clock, which you can speed up by staggering him with shots to his heart. You can stagger him up to three times, reducing the timer from 3.5 minutes to just over 2 minutes. Stick close to his left arm and practice dodging his moves, or maintain a distance to bait his run and jump attack. If he charges up a one-shot kill, immediately target his heart with your strongest weapon to stagger and disrupt his move. Grenades and flashbangs can make the fight significantly easier as they can stun lock him, but if those aren’t available, focus on maneuvering and staggering.
To defeat Mr. X, focus on dodging his attacks and staggering him by targeting his heart. Stay near his left arm, practice your timing, and try not to end up behind him. Use grenades and flashbangs to interrupt his powerful one-shot charge attack, ideally keeping your inventory packed with these items. Once he starts his one-hit kill move and Leon warns you, immediately aim for the heart with powerful weapons like the magnum to stagger him and prevent the attack. Survival in this fight relies more on strategy and positioning than on dealing damage.
