Resident Evil 4 Remake - Exclusive Upgrade Cheese & The Mercenaries Handcannon

The Mercenaries is such a fun mode in the RE4 Remake! I'm happy to have unlocked the Handcannon through this mode so my subsequent playthroughs go a lot smoother with infinite ammo! Thanks so much for watching and liking everyone! 💙

im shocked they didnt release a "tokens" microtransaction pack for people that want to skip the shooting range.

idk if you know this or not but luis is immune to his own dynamite, making it easier to just shoot at it without having to reposition

I found Krauser super easy to avoid being over whelmed with. Seemed like he had super armor during his knife attacks that hit almost all the way around him, meaning the only thing I really needed to worry about was chainsaws, which went really a worry since I could instantly kill them with mayhem mode

I’d love “Dark Mercenderies” where you get to play as Mendez, Verdugo, el gigante and dr Salvador, maybe even a bonus mode where you fight U-3

I felt like this time around, the Handcannon's requirements were really high. If it were for the PRL, I'd understand because that's the super weapon that wrecks everything. So to unlock it through mercenaries mode is welcome.

The hand Cannon is fine with being able t unlock it like this. Honestly with it's performance the PLR laser should be the pro mode reward vs the hand Cannon

As someone who got the Hand Cannon from professional S+ ( did it with cat ears). I'm ok with the handcannon being available in mercs. I would have liked different rewards but other people being able to get it this route doesn't take away from my experience. Also, the gun is doodoo. Now if I was able to play the game as these characters in the campaign. That would have been dope!

I would argue that the Handcannon is easy to get in the main campaign. YES, you cannot use bonus weapons and need to do it on a new game, not NG+. BUT, your rank doesn't matter. You just need to beat it on Professional with those simple conditions. You're allowed to take your time, collect all the upgrades, do all the side quests, upgrade all your weapons and the like as you make your way through the game. It's actually quite simple. Yes, unlocking the Chicago Sweeper is easier, since you can do it with an Infinite Rocket Launcher on NG+ and only need an A rank, not S or S+. The Cat Ears is harder for many, since you need that S+ from only doing a new game and even with using bonus weapons, since you don't start with anything, you still need to make sure you play optimally enough to get your spinels by chapter 7 to have that infinite ammo perk. Though, even without using glitches, if you follow a guide, you can beat it in 4.5hrs quite easily for even the most average of players (meaning there's an extra hour of leeway if you're bad too). Using glitches and the like, you can shave up to 2 more hours on that (though completing it in 2.5hrs is out of reach for most since you need to play pretty perfectly and know EXACTLY what you're doing....).

I practiced the full first week and then did 2 NG+ Playthrough and finally took 3 days to finish the Game with a S+ on professional. It doesn't bother me at all I love beating the game with full infinite ammo it don't bother me others having quick access to the Handcannon and shit. I suck at almost every other game other the resident evil and have to buy the DLC's

I completed a hardcore run with the handcannon last night and it is pretty solid for most encounters, but I feel like the unlimited ammo on the Chicago Sweeper might be slightly easier. If you bought one of those tickets, I think it might be better to use it on the Chicago Sweeper from the start and then unlock one with spinels mid-game for the handcannon.

Some people love the grind. I don't. I still respect anyone that went thru the trouble of unlocking everything "legit" but I shamelessly got myself one of those upgrade tickets and I'm having fun with the handcannon now on my 2nd playthrough, no struggle needed 😅

If they re released the original with an unlock all dlc, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Getting the handcannon on the OG version is hard af

Yeah my first thought when coming to mercenaries was “I’m excited to see what new weapons this will unlock” I didn’t have the handcannon before so that’s cool but I wanted more weapons.

I was stressed trying to beat Professional with S+ rank, and when I did it, few hours later the exclusive ticket dlc came with Mercenaries Mode... (I struggled in the Village section just to have enough spinel to buy an exclusive ticket for Chicago)

I might play Mercenaries just for the hand cannon. I understand people who are upset about this, though.

Hope they bring back Waterworld and Super Salvador! Water Room should be a map too. It may not be hard anymore, but it'd be chaotic for Mercenaries. We need more characters.

The handcannon reward is ok, since is not as op as it used to be back to the days of the original re4, so another way to obtain the nerfcannon is ok by me

I'm already halfway through the new game professional run, so I'm just going to finish it for the challenge and handcannon. After getting past the cabin it just seems like I got past the hard part already. Also ran the castle wall section twice because I can't remember to manually save and Ashley wanted to run into my tmp in the maze.

Funny I just completed both my professional runs right before this came out a nice way for others to enjoy the game even though professional made me have ptsd from ch15 😂
