Resident Evil 6 The Mercenaries tips

Hello everyone just thought I would make a video to help people get high scores in mercenaries. I recently got the ability to record game play so I plan on making content for video games. I'm also working on a video review of Resident Evil 6 so I hope to have that out not too long from now.

Here's a list of the tips

#1
Learn the map time and combo multiplier placements

When you start a map always learn where the time and combo placements are. Once you figure them out gather the time using the quickest route possible so you can focus on killing and using the combo multipliers when needed.

The combo multipliers aren’t necessary for a high score but they do help if you can rack of a lot of kills in the short time frame that you have

#2
Head shots + melee= more time

When you are fighting the standard enemies try to shoot them at least once in the head and activated the melee. It kills the standard enemies instantly and depending on your character knocks down any others that are nearby letting you stomp on them. The head shot isn’t the only way though, you could shoot them in the leg which brings them down to the ground or other stuff but the advantage of the head shot melee is that it’s a guaranteed kill and lets you get other enemies who were nearby now the reason you will want to melee is that every enemy killed this way will give you at least a 5 second time bonus with the harder enemies bringing in more time and it saves a lot of ammo.

#3
Keep the combo

This is one of the biggest keys to getting a high score is maintaining the combo and getting it high has possible which long has you keep a good stead pace it should be relatively simple although has you get further in the stage difficult enemies will appear but by using tip number 2 and figuring out when to melee them you should do good also don’t be afraid to spray a enemy to keep the combo going.

#4
Conserve powerful ammo

During my play through it seems that the only ammo that’s usually dropped is the ammo for what ever the primary weapon you are using is so when it comes to the powerful stuff like the magnum or elephant killer make sure you reserve it for use against the fat bastard or blood suckers since they usually present the biggest annoyance and it should put them in a state where a melee can be done.

#5
Don’t get surrounded

If you want to live to see your score mean something this is key. After a certain amount of enemies have been killed they will become faster, deadlier and more numerous so constantly keep on the move and if you do get surrounded don’t be afraid to either use a remote bomb or throw a grenade to clear some space and if you have to don’t be afraid to run.

#6
Dodge

Since this is something new to the resident evil series it took me a while to get used to it but once I did it helps a lot. Through out the game and in mercenaries you will have enemies that shoot, throw up or jump at you and when that happens be prepared to dodge out of the way. especially when the blood suckers start showing up since that seems to be their preferred way to attack and when you are on the ground after dodging you can quickly dispatch them keeping you and your combo alive.

#7
Work with your partner

When playing with a buddy, During the first part of the match it helps to separate, with one guy collecting all the time while the other start building up the combo. About halfway through you will want to regroup has the enemies start to pile up so You’ll be able to cover each others back and heal each other when needed.

#8
When in doubt quick fire

To use quick fire you pull both the aim and fire buttons at the same time making your character shoot at the closest enemy. Its extremely useful for taking out the annoying dogs and enemies that are too close to properly aim. The only downside is the its not always going to hit and it uses one stamina bar so use it sparingly.

Thanks for watching.
