RE4 remake Mercenaries mode is a twist on the long-running wave-based assault mode used in many Resident Evil titles, including the original Resident Evil 4. This game includes time-attack challenges in which the player must destroy as many foes as possible before time runs out – or perish trying.
In this mode, players choose one of the numerous characters to play on one of three primary levels (two of which are available from the start and others that may be acquired through time).
You will gain points by harming and killing the creatures that spawn across the game and little time benefits for each enemy you kill. Each character begins with a unique loadout of weapons and armor, and abilities that are unique to that character.
How to unlock RE4 remake Mercenaries mode?
RE4 remake Mercenaries mode will be available as free DLC for the game. This implies that you’ll need to upgrade your Resident Evil 4 Remake copy as soon as it becomes available.
Then, much as in the original Resident Evil 4 from 2005 and the more recent Resident Evil: Village, players must finish the main story campaign to unlock the Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
RE4 remake Mercenaries: Characters
The Mercenaries features four playable characters. Leon S. Kennedy will be the sole player available when you initially unlock The Mercenaries.

How to achieve the highest score in the RE4 remake Mercenaries?
To achieve the highest possible score, players must employ clever strategies to avoid becoming overwhelmed and eliminate foes in a timely way to keep the clock ticking.
Furthermore, injuring and destroying foes will fill a “Mayhem Meter“, which each character may use to activate a distinct Mayhem Mode, giving them a limited opportunity to cause even more damage.
First, gather items and orbs
There are few adversaries in the start, making movement easy. It is advised that you collect Orbs at the start of the game.
Increase the time and fight for a longer period
Even if you still have HP or foes left, once the time limit is reached, the game will be immediately completed. Increase the duration as much as possible to achieve a good score by struggling for a longer period.
In addition, any time remaining after completion will be increased by 1,000 points and added to your total.
Use mayhem mode
Mayhem Mode appears to be restricted to Mercenaries’ characters, which will provide them powerful deathblow techniques. When you destroy foes, the gauge fills up, allowing you to engage in Mayhem Mode for a limited time. Attacks in Mayhem Mode will grant you additional points, which will help you improve your score.
RE4 remake Mercenaries mode rewards
Get S Rank (200,000 points or above) on all three stages (Village/Castle/Island) to obtain the Hand Cannon. To unlock the Hand Cannon in the regular game, you must “complete Professional Mode without using a Bonus Weapon”. However, if you play Mercenaries, you will not have to complete the hard mode of the main story in order to earn this unique weapon.
