So JD, are you on later this evening?

sorry anung, my live died on me and needs topping up again, managed to get a few achievements offline though.


the hydra is a great gun
the 20k points needed to buy infinate ammo is not fun though


S rank - 75% or more on accuracy.
Kills - over 100
timers - grab atleast 50% of them (theres usually 6 or so)
bonus box - there is a chest on each level with a combo chainer in it, grab that and it double points for a while.


wesker kicks ass to use, you are using the STARS wesker right?

played offline with a mate earlier on merc and got myself SS ranks on 4 levels so far, need to do them all like it though now -_-

of the 150 enemies on each level you will find a chicken on each (sometimes a snake)
they must be killed aswell.

the boos cannot be killed (for good) until you have killed off everyone else 1st, then he will die.


best trick: both play as wesker (STARS) or chris (basic)
drop the weak guns to prevent finding ammo for them.
when you start learn the locations of the extra times and the combo chainer (its allways in a chest)

start the mission, both work together getting all timers, group up the majini, then grab the combo before you start killing.
we managed to snag 30,000 points with the combo active in a few seconds simply by using shotguns.

Dude, I don't think I actually have the skill to get SS rankings in Capcom game My question was if there was anything I can get from it.

I haven't unlocked STARS Wesker yet. I haven't beaten the ship or the prison with an A ranking so far. Those almost unkillable super enemies are pretty annoying.
What are the boos? Are those these super tough enemies? Because if they are, they can be killed, it just takes a lot Magnum ammo.

How can I use Wesker's killermove? You said something about running and the hitting X?

anung, if your allready getting A's its not hard mate
on my own i can get a S easily, i think i can help boost you into SS rankings pretty quickly


are you on about reapers?
if not what do they look like?

charge at an enemy using the run button, once close enough it will say press X to finish.
press it and he has a jumping knee attack that kills zombies instantly. (they dont need to be stunned or knocked back 1st)
not much use against mass zombies, but if you need to move back to reload its great for moving the odd few here and there.

Don't you know what the Reapers are? They're these insect thingys who can instant kill you with some sort of scything talon. You fight them in mines stage.
They're almost immune to fire, but can be hurt by exlosives (at least so I read on Resident Evil Wikia )

i know what they are
thats why i was asking you if thats what you were on about lol.


they are piss easy to kill, 3 magnum rounds.
1st to the chest, it will rear up, shoot the white lump on its chest again and knock it back, shoot it a third time in the back (a white lump will appear) and finish it off


explosive grenades and rounds work pretty well
allthough i prefer the magnum approach.
dont waste time with anything other than a shotgun, magnum, or heavy type weapon as you will just piss it off.
it takes around 250 shots with a skorpion to kill, so dont bother with it

I unlocked STARS Wesker by beating the prison level with roughly 40000 points with tribal sheva. The bow works wonders in narrow spaces.

careful though mate, its not allways good at long range
but close its amazing.

you will have fun using STARS wesker

speaking of which, i need another 14,000 points in merc mode to get infinate ammo on the hydra

I managed to get an S-rank at the missle level with Midnight Wesker. His supermove is activated by pressing R3 btw. not by just running. But I didn't get the impression that it's as usefull as Krauser's killermove in RE4 Mercenaries.
I also unlocked Jill, Battle Suit, so now I have all the characters. I just hope the VS. mode will come soon

you can also activate it by running and using the action button
im yet to try it normally.
had to help a friend go through the game on normal yesterday, so started to upgrade some guns while helpnig him.

guns left to upgrade:

S75 (2 more power needed)
PSG1

sig pistol

2nd shotgun (not sure of name )
jail breaker

L.hawk

AK74

MP5



once i done those ive finally finished every gun.
the S&W500 is a good laugh
makes hurting wesker pretty easy most of the time, since in the dark he cant avoid it.
managed to grab a few more BSAA emblems aswell, putting me up to 28 now.
and 2 more annoying things.

1: marshlands is the only level i dont have an A or S rank on :K
you unlock 2 figures, 1 for all levels with A's, 1 for all levels with S's, yet i can never get above a B on it

2: my total game time is now 5 hours 3 minutes :K
need to try and cut just over 3 minutes off that to get the infinate launcher.

The vs mode should be already up, I heard that many people were raising hell because it came out for download the same time the game released.

You don't get anything special for higher ranks, you just get exchange points. 3,000 or so for SS.

For the extra 3 you can just kill the script bosses. In the village(not town) when the two giant majini appear, kill them and the other guys won't spawn. If you dodge the white chick's grab then you can get behind her and do an instantkill that prevents the cephalo from popping out.

Other times, just run past guys who are in between you and the exit for a level.

EDIT: Don't forget to kill the fish in the marshlands level where you collect the 4 slabs, it'll help your enemies routed. You can also turbo all the way up to the docks without braking and still get off without taking damage if you can time it right.

ranks depend alot actually halo


ranks in merc mode:

B will unlock the next level
A will unlock a new character
S will give you some nice points
SS will earn you 5,000 points

in game:

A rank on all levels: figure unlocked (jill rare)
S rank on all levels: figures unlocked (sheva rare and chris rare)

also, enemies are dependant on kills in merc mode.

ill use public assembly as an example.

there are 3 executioner majini in the level.

kill 20 basic majini and the 1st executioner will show up
kill 40 basic majini and the 2nd executioner will show up
kill 75 basic majini and the 3rd executioner will show up

it is possible to have all 3 at once moving about if you do not kill them.
majini are restricted to 12 at a time, once you kill one, another will take its place.
the chicken can be killed, allthough it will give no points until the end of the game when additional points are added on.

Merc ranks:

B - 30,000 points / 60,000 in co-op mode
A - 40,000 points / 80,000 in co-op mode
S - 80,000 points / 150,000 in co-op mode
SS - kill all enemies


note: merc mode is great for getting easy achievements.
i played it at a friends and got him the following in 1 game:

"heart stopper"
"lead asperin"
"stop, drop and roll"
"egg on your face"
"egg hunt"
"baptism by fire"
"ride the lightening"

that was in the space of just over 5 mins (and a SS rank to boot)

if anyone wants it ill post the full list of what enemies are in each level, how many there are and how to get them to show up
ill also be as nice as to reveal each enemies weak spots, and the best weapons for the job



and for the sheer randomness of it, ill upload a vid later of me and a friend killing Uroboros with stun rods on veteran
ok, we had to keep healing as it does infect you if close, but it was worth it

I was only talking about the SS rank, I got my points mixed up with the S and SS points I see.

I don't know how you only saw the three executioners, theres supposed to be more if you kill 90 majini, another if you kill 120 majini.

The chicken takes up one of the max creatures allowed per map, so if you kill it, one more majini can spawn.

There are 2 chickens in the mine level.

Note: The Red Executioner Majini is not easily downed. He's pretty much as
tough as a standard executioner on veteran diff, and has 180% Speed.
His resistance is also heavily upgraded. While he has a fleshy weak
spot on his back, note that his head remains just as weak. Besides, his
head will often be easier to target.

Note #2: you will find that not all levels add up to 150 enemies, this is because chickens fill in the few remaining enemy spots.




thats all merc enemies listed
if anyone needs a list of either; treasures, figurines or BSAA emblems ill be happy to list them

The chainsaw majini with blue pants will get up after killing them the first time in beserk mode.

The lab is supposed to be licker only though, as far as I've read.


I've been playing CoD 5 though, they have all the zombies I need.

it depends on character use halo.

if using either standard chris or sheva the chainsaw majini dont go into zerk mode, they will do against other characters.
when you start you get chris and sheva as starting characters, when using either of these it seems to make the enemies alot easier to kill.

the lab is far from licker only
they are found on the middle platform mainly, and allways attack in large groups.
in 2 player you start at either the bottom or top of the level, which one of you will start with an RPG aimed at you, which when it hits you instantly takes you down to dying status, once past that part its pretty easy


i sold CoD5, got bore dof it too quickly.
idea was to get up to 10th prestige like i did on 4, but its just too plain and boring.

You probably hated the non-automatic weapons in CoD5, I've heard that as a major reason for people not liking it.

not atall
im allways using either a mosin nagat or a lee enfield.
other than that ill use a STG from time to time, but mainly bolt action rifles.

The enfield is in CoD5?
I know it has the Springfield, Mosin-Nagant, Arisaka, PTRS-1, and some other one but I thought it had one german rifle in there.

So, why did you leave the game yesterday when I asked to join?

I only need 3 more Emblems in the stage where you fight Wesker for the 1st time, but I was considering only going there when I have unlimited ammo for the 3rd Magnum. I just need to upgrade the power 2 or 3 more times, then it's full and I can purchase unlimited ammo.

I still have problems with with the Reaper in the mines though.

anung, i was waiting for him to connect to the game
it wouldnt let him once you tried to.

i was also on and off going to the shop or out for a smoke.

the last magnum (the 500) kicks ass, i dont know why i didnt go for it earlier.
5,000 power works wonders.

had a quick game at around 5am, got put with someone who had a infinate ammo L.hawk, so that was pretty amusing, though ranks seem to drop when kills get 1 sided :(


anung, im not too sure about this since im yet to see it happen, so i wont say im 100% on this, but:

in the center of mines there is a 4 story tower, sit ontop of that once the reaper shows, i was using chris at the time and blasting away with a shotgun.

seems that the platforms a bit too high for it to get to (allthough zombies do climb the ladders)

Yeah, but once you're on the high platform, it's hard to get enough points for a good rank. Maybe with a Sniper....

Get something with piercing, so when the reapers cover their weak spots, you can still do some good damage.

Anung, who said anything about staying there mate?
you go up there when the reaper comes, kill it from the tower then go back down.

if you need to make a reaper reveal its weak spots shoot its pincer hand, it will stand up fully

You could also kick it in the nards, that always seems to work.

you can have the job of finding them then

ive killed one with a stun rod, but i had a friend keeping it busy and looking away from me via a upgraded sig

There on his back, unless its a female reaper. The they're on the chest.

Hey JD, how about some co-op tonight. I'm going to play some Bioshock or Orange Box now, maybe you can come online later.

slight necro here, but yea


halo, easy way to kill reapers is shoot them in the mouth when they drop down or stand up, anything over 1000 strength kills them in 1 shot


anung, i should be on there tonight mate, been running through it on professional with a friend for the points

also, the VS mode is now available on download for 400 points (gotta wait for money to get paid into the bank before i can get it :()

Additional Items needed:

all 6 types of grenade launcher rounds.
every type of ammo.
all 3 grenade types.


seems like alot, but doesent take long.




Item duplication trick:


you will need: an extra control pad and spare profile.

1: start any level with both profiles playing.
2: have the 2nd profile send an expensive item to the 1st (rotton eggs or gold eggs work well)
3: click exit game.
4: have the 2nd player click NO to the save options, and the 1st player (you) click yes.
5: start up another game, sign both players in and you will have the item, the 2nd player will also have the item.
6: keep going with this, by the end you can be duplicating 45 rotton eggs at a time.
7: simply store them as you go and keep the duplication running.

45 rotton eggs
2,500 sell value
112,500 free money each time you duplicate 45 eggs

may seem like alot of work at 1st, but once your duplicating 45 eggs at a time it doesent take long to get over 1,000,000.



Random junk about the Figures:

you get an achievement for having all the figures (im now 1 away)

to get them all you will need to have done the following:

finish the game (any difficulty)
have all 30 BSAA emblems
have an A rank on every chapter
have an S rank on every chapter (this gets the wesker rare figure that i still need)

easy S rank guide:

Deaths - if you finish a chapter without being killed you get a S from that.

accuracy - you need over 60% accuracy to get an S rank.

kills - you need to kill around 75% of the enemies on a level to get an S for it (some levels have unlimited respawn enemies, make the most of it.

Time - this one is easy enough, run through the level only stopping to kill anything in your way.

the lowest you can do to get an S rank is: A,A,S,S

getting all 4 as an S rank will only Give you an S rank for that level, but you do get 5,000 points for doing it.

The versus mode did not get released in Germany
