The Mercenaries mode is an intense time-based match that sets you up against hordes of ferocious creatures. It will feature an arcade game style, where the intensity of each subsequent level will increase.

Here are a few basic tips on how to get started when the DLC pack eventually releases:

  • For higher scores and more rewards, you will have to finish each stage faster.
  • This implies that you’d have to be accurate with your weapons.
  • Kill as fast as possible and try to come up with as many swift combos as possible.
  • Keep a regular check on the timer.
  • Most importantly, play the Resident Evil remake storyline thoroughly, and face as many enemies as possible. This will help you with replayability.

In the original RE 4 title, players were allowed to try out other characters besides the main protagonist, Leon. In the original The Mercenaries mode, you can also play Krauser, HUNK, Ada Wong, and Albert Wesker, among others.

As of now, there’s no word from the developer's end regarding the multiple character selection feature in the revamped mode. But everybody hopes that that will be incorporated.
