Mercenary Mode is back, bringing with it fast-paced combat and the chance to rank against other Resident Evil 4 Remake players from across the world. If you rank well in the time challenges, you can earn rewards and unlock new characters in Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenary Mode.

For a full list of all Mercenary Mode rewards and unlocks in Resident Evil 4 Remake, read here.

As of writing, the main unlocks are characters, which you can only get if you complete the previously unlocked character at a Rank A (100,000 points or over). The characters available in the game are:

Unlockable Characters

How to unlock

Character Attacks and Weapons.

Mayhem Mode Abilities

Leon

Starting character

Suplex and Kick melee attacks. Uses SG-09 R, Stingray or Riot Gun.

Has increased power and speed.

Luis

Get rank A or higher in any stage as Leon

Luis has a pipe attack, a yellow pipe he can swing at enemies. He uses either the Red9 or SR M1903.

Has Timed Dynamite.

Krauser

Get rank A or higher in any stage as Luis

Has a thrust attack and uses either the EJF-338 Compound Bow or TMP.

Can transform into his monster shape.

Hunk

Get rank A or higher in any stage as Krauser

He has the Neckbreaker attack which snaps enemy's necks when staggered. He uses the LE 5.

Hunk has infinite ammo.

As of writing, it is just the four above characters available in Mercenaries Mode. However, as the original Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries Mode also included Ada Wong and Albert Wesker, we may see them added at a later date.

There are no new achievements or trophies to come with the Mercenaries Mode DLC. However, there is a reward that can pack a punch in a Resident Evil 4 Remake playthrough.

While more rewards may be added with time, the main Mercenaries Mode reward now is the Handcannon Magnum. A gun capable of some serious firepower as with most Magnums, however, this one can be fully upgraded to give it the infinite ammo perk. This is particularly useful in a Resident Evil 4 Remake playthrough where Magnum ammo is scarce, and gunpowder is a precious resource.

To get the Handcannon Magnum, you must either achieve an S Rank or higher in Mercenaries Mode across all three stages or with all unlockable characters.
