What is Mercenaries Mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

Mercenaries Mode is a minigame where you fight Las Plagas infected to gain points while competing against time. You can play as other characters besides Leon, though we don’t have confirmation yet as to who they will be. We suspect Ada, Hunk, Krauser, and Adam Wesker will at least be on the roster again.

Each character available in Mercenaries mode should have their own equipment and melee moves. HUNK In the original Resident Evil 4, the Mercenaries didn’t have a knife but could snap a Ganados neck, killing them immediately; Krauser could turn his arm into a sharp tendril to drill through enemies on command. Just how unique each character plays in the Mercenaries game mode adds more to making it memorable.
