To get loads of points either do merc. mode with a very good character such as wesker stars for me or do a very short level such as 2-3 Savahna for a decent player it will be a good 5 or 6 minutes and if your really good try it on veteran or proffesional for 2500 if you get an S... good luck


UNLIMITED MONEY!!!!!!

How to quick kill wesker in final fight

After you have moved the giant boulder and sheva is with you and the real fight begins don't attack wesker until the red bulb on his chest can be seen.make sure you a rocket launcher to use and equip it and just avoid him until the bulb on his chest is visible, once it is quickly aim the launcher at the bulb and shoot and it will instantly take you to the final stage of the fight.


Easy Money

Alright, a great way to make money is to go on an area with at least two of the insect things that kill you in one hit, such as the last level or the oroburos research facility. When you kill them, collect the power stones they drop (which are worth 5,000 each) then exit (don't forget to save)then go to item management and sell them. This is quick, easy, and profitable. This way you can get plenty of money to but and upgrade weapons.

Hope this helps-

Easiest and quickest money glitch

On chapter 5-2 (experimental facility) you will come to a tight hallway that will be filled with lickers. Kill all the lickers (I would suggest using a magnum or AK or SIG) after you kill them all collect their lion hearts (2500 each) you will get atleast 5 of them so each time you do this glitch you will get 12500. After you kill the lickers and collect the lion hearts go to the end of the hallway until you reach a door and then quit and save over your current equipment and when you go to item management you will have the lion hearts to sell. Very easy and quick money. Hope this helps Smile


Strongest weapons

The strongest weapons in the game are sheva's long bow ( one shot kill but can only be used by sheva )

The s&w 500 magnum ( one shot kill on everything except the bosses, but even on them it doesnt take many shots at all to finish them with this gun )

The hydra ( triple barrel shot gun and is very strong and extremely helpful when you being over run by majini as it is a triple barrel with wide range scatter shots )

Note: all three of these weapons do have to be unlocked first and fully upgraded ( you can't and don't have to upgrade the longbow )


Merconaries points

If playing single player on mercs. You need 40,000 points to achieve the a rank and corrosponding unlockable characters.

If playing two player you need 80,000 points to reach the a rank and unlockable characters


Where "1" emerald is in shanty town

Easy way to get Money start chapter 4-1 run through the chapter collecting all the ammo from the spiders and vases. There is a chest in the first area with spiders before you climb the ladder keep moving past that to the vase in the cave look to your left and climb up open up chest. Before jumping back down look at the ceiling of the cave just before you jump there is a blue saphire to shoot down and collect.

Herbs - all possible combinations and their effects

Unlike it's predecessors, Resident Evil 5 only features two types of healing herb - the ever-present Red and Green herbs. The Yellow herbs from Resident Evil 4 have been removed, and both Chris and Sheva start out with their health bars maxed out. The chart below lists all possible combinations and the effects of herbs when used:

Green - Restores a small amount of health

Green + Green - Restores a large amount of health

Green + Green + Green - Fully restores health

Red - Cannot be used alone

Green + Red - Fully restores health

Note - White Chicken Eggs restore a small amount of health, Brown Chicken Eggs restore a large amount of health and Gold Chicken Eggs fully restore health. Also, First Aid Sprays fully restore health.


Infinite ammo...

Once you beat the game once you will notice that you can now select infinite ammo as an option, when you start again don't be fooled it dosen't work, UNLESS you first have fully upgraded a gun and gone to the bonus features and purchased the infinite ammo for those spasific weapons.


The Easy (but really long) way to earn money

Money is pretty easy to find in RE5. However, if you need a way to obtain anymore, here's a tiny trick to help you out. You know that in some levels in the game, you'll find shiny white suitcases when you open them, you'll find a new weapon? Even if you have already beaten that level, you can re-pick those weapons AGAIN! However, this trick only works if it's not in your inventory at the time you go re-retrieve it.

Also, make sure you have a decent amount of room in YOUR INVENTORY (Sheva's doesnt matter).

The easiest way to do this trick is in Level 2-1. In the very beginning of the level there should be a suitcase with a machine gun in it. Grab it. Also, break all the crates in the room because they contain ammo and money.

Once you collected everything i..
