Basically ALL of the information in this guide is figured by myself with help
from other players. There is no official source for Mercenaries Reunion like
there was for Mercenaries for figuring out weapon stats, damage amounts per
melee, etc, so some of this information will not always be 100% exact.

INTRODUCTION [IN00]
===============================================================================
- RESIDENT EVIL 5 MERCENARIES
Resident Evil 5's original Mercenaries mode continued the tradition of an
action minigame that Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 had started prior to
it. Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries had a total of 10 characters and 8 stages
from the main game of Resident Evil 5. Each character had unique weapons sets,
abilities and melee attacks that could be used to battle against the various
enemies and bosses in each stage.
A player had to maintain a combo chain by killing off enemies and, most
important of all, a player had to build time through collecting time bonuses
and perform a melee to finish off an enemy to gain a 5 second bonus per melee
kill in order to gain a greater time once all enemies in a stage were finished
off. A player would gain 1000 points for each second that was left over at the
end of each stage once all 150 enemies in a stage were defeated.
- RESIDENT EVIL 5 MERCENARIES REUNION
Mercenaries Reunion expands upon what the original Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries
brought us. It is an altered version of the normal Resident Evil 5 Mercs with
new characters and updated stages. The same 8 stages still remain but they
have all been changed in some ways. The enemy setups are different for each
stage and the some of the item and time bonuse placements have been altered.
Reunion focuses more on the overall full combo chain gained through enemy
killing when compared to the original Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, which
focused more on building time. While leftover time is still needed to add
additional points to an overall score, the main focus on Reunion is on keeping
a full 150 combo for each stage. Combo bonuses now play a bigger role in
maximizing a score also.
The combo continues to add bonus points after the 50th kill now instead of
giving a fixed bonus point amount per kill after 50. The bonus points truly
skyrocket in value after the 100th kill and any combo lost after that will not
result in the highest score, guaranteed. A player no longer has the comfort of
of building time through melee kills to increase a run with a broken combo
anymore since each leftover second is now only worth 300pts instead of 1000pts
this time.
Each map now starts out with a very simple enemy setup. Stages now get MUCH
more intense around the 50th kill all the way to the end. Majini spawn plagas
constantly no matter the stage once the 50th kill is reached. There is really
no way to pinpoint which Majini will spawn a plagas this time either. All
plagas spawns are scripted, but when a player has about 20+ scripted plagas
spawns in a mixture of 150 enemies that enter the field randomly, it's near
impossible to tell which enemies are truly scripted plagas enemies.
- MERCENARIES REUNION AVAILABILITY
The full Mercenaries Reunion minigame is included in multiple packages that can
be downloaded on PSN or Xbox LIVE. Lost in Nightmares, Desperate Escape,
Costume Pack 1 and Costume Pack 2 all contain portions of The Mercenaries
Reunion.
Here is a breakdown:
Lost in Nightmares - The Mercenaries Reunion + Excella and Barry characters
Desperate Escape - Josh and Rebecca characters
Costume Pack 1 - Warrior Chris and Fairy Tale Sheva characters
Costume Pack 2 - Heavy Metal Chris and Business Sheva characters
The full Mercenaries Reunion minigame is also available through the "Untold
Stories" package on Xbox LIVE or PSN. A player can also pick up Resident Evil
5: Gold Editon at local retailers and have access to all of the extra content.
** NOTE 1: Only the PS3 version of Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition includes all
of the extra content on the game disc. The Xbox 360 version includes a code
that will allow a player to download the "Untold Stories" pack from Xbox LIVE.
** NOTE 2: If you buy Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition for Xbox 360, you will have
to delete your "Extra Figures" download content if you downloaded that content
from the Xbox LIVE marketplace. The content is already on the disc and it
conflicts with the Mercenaries Reunion mode. A player will get a "Disc Read
Error" when trying to select Mercenaries Reunion from the main menu if the
download content is on the system. This may also happen if you download the
"Untold Stories" bundle from the marketplace as well.
This guide is as hardcore as I can make it and will be updated as I find out
new techniques and ideas. I cannot guarantee that you'll be walking away from
each stage with an SS-rank, that's more up to individual by utilizing their own
skills and techniques that they have learned, but I will tell you one thing:
After all the work that has been put into this guide, it very much tries to
give you that SS-rank that you so desire.

MERCENARY REUNION BASICS [MB00]
===============================================================================
===================================
OVERVIEW OF THE MERCENARIES REUNION
===================================
Just like in the original Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, the main goal of The
Mercenaries Reunion is to chain kills on enemies and kill as many enemies as
possible all while collecting time extenders and attempting melee kills on
Majini to extend the current clock for more time on the current stage. Your
character will start out with a total of 2 minutes and will face up to 150
enemies total in each stage. Once the stage timer has expired or the full
amount of enemies have been killed, the stage will end and the score will be
tallied based on your performance.
The Mercenaries Reunion mode may be played through Solo play (by yourself) or
Duo play (with a friend or online gamer). All Mercenaries Reunion characters
have a fixed equipment list that may not be changed from the start but each
character can pick up different items (a grenade launcher on one stage) and
more ammo from enemy drops or environemtnal pickups as the stage run
progresses. New stages will be unlocked as each stage is completed with at
least a B-rank (Single = 20,000, Duo = 40,000).
****************** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RESIDENT EVIL 5 MERCS *****************
Before skipping to the stage or character sections, make sure you read over the
"5 Second Bonus Per Melee Kill" section. Melee kills are not as important in
Reunion as normal Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, but they are still important for
maintaining a good overall time to increase the score slightly. Playing Duo
mercs with another player that does not attempt melee kills can limit the score
for that run and cause much frustration for a partner that actually is
attempting melee kills. Simply going on a shotgun rampage all the time is
still NOT the way to play Mercenaries and get a high leaderboard score in
Resident Evil 5.
High Score (slightly higher)
----------------------------
+ Weaken Majini for a Melee Kill
+ Stun Majini for a Melee Kill
+ Perform Melee Kill to Majini
+ Instant Kill Majini With a High Powered Weapon Only to Save Kill Streak
+ Use High Powered Weapon for Boss Enemy But Try For Melee Finish
Low Score (slightly lower)
--------------------------
+ Frequent Instant Kills With High Powered Weapons
+ Frequent Instant Multiple Kills Through Explosives
+ Robbing a Partner of a Chance at a Melee Kill by Spamming Gunfire
Again, unlike Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, the combo takes priority over melee
killing Mercs Reunion, but melee kills still need to be used as often as
possible for some extra points through extra time that is built while using
them. Toward the end of stage, it can get risky to melee kill with each
character thanks to all the chaos that will ensues through plagas spawns, so a
player MIGHT have to resort to weapon kills to quickly maintain the combo.
*******************************************************************************
==========
DIFFICULTY
==========
The Mercenaries Reunion has two fixed difficulties per mode of play. Single
player mode has a difficulty of 6, which is equal to that of Normal mode in the
main game or Resident Evil 5 and Duo mode has a difficulty of 8, which is equal
to Veteran difficulty in the main game of Resident Evil 5.
Solo Enemy AI:
- While in close range, enemies will stand still before attacking longer in
solo.
- Enemies will recover from being knocked down slower in solo.
Duo Enemy AI:
- Enemies will charge a player more often in duo.
- Enemies will react with an attack quicker in duo.
- Enemies will recover from behind knocked down quicker in solo (sometimes
nearly instant)
In short, while playing on duo mode, players will experience much more
aggressive enemies.
============
DYING STATUS
============
Dying in a Mercenaries Reunion stage will automatically end the stage without
any points. In Duo mode, whenever a character enters dying status, the other
player will have to rush toward that character and heal or resuscitate that
character. In Solo mode, the player can resuscitate the controlled character
by tapping the assist button to revive the current character while that
character staggers in dying status. The player's life will begin to restore as
the assist button is tapped.
An attack that places a player into dying status a second time without any
prior healing will send that character even deeper into dying status (much less
red life gauge left) and the player will have a MUCH greater time to recover
while enemies may freely attack.
===================
ENEMY SCORE AMOUNTS
===================
Each enemy that is killed in a stage will yield a specific amount of points
based on the enemy type and overall difficulty of the enemy. Normal enemies
will yield a small amount while boss type enemies will add a much greater
amount to the overall point total. There are a total of 150 enemies per stage
counting stage bosses and the chicken enemy.
-- Normal Enemy Points List -- Boss Enemy Points List
.---------------------------------. .-----------------------------------------.
| ENEMY TYPE | POINT AMOUNT | | ENEMY TYPE | POINT AMOUNT |
|=================================| |=========================================|
| Majini (Town) = 300 | | Executioner Majini = 5,000 |
| Majini (Wetland) = 400 | | Giant Majini = 5,000 |
| Majini (Base) = 400 | | Reaper = 6,000 |
| Bui Kichwa = 400 | | Chainsaw Majini = 7,000 |
| Kipepeo = 700 | | Gatling Gun Majini = 10,000 |
| Cephalo = 800 | | Executioner Majini (Red) = 15,000 |
| Licker Beta = 800 | '-----------------------------------------'
| Adjule = 800 |
| Duvalia = 900 |
| Big Man Majini = 1,000 |
| Chicken = 2,000 |
'---------------------------------'
NOTE: Village and Ancient Ruins go over the 150 enemy limit becauske of Kipepeo
enemies that spawn from Wetland Majini. Both the Kipepeo spawn from the
Wetland Majini and the Kipepeo kill count as two separate kills.
=================================
THE COMBO SYSTEM (CHAINING KILLS)
=================================
Kills can be chained if enemies are defeated within 10 seconds apart from each
other for a great point value. Directly after two kills have been chained, an
indicator of the current number of kills chained will display in the top right
hand corner of the screen. The amount of kills will display in a white text
font.
The indictor will flash a blue color for each multiple of 10 that has been
reached. As the 10 seconds go by the current combo indicator will begin to
flash and flash more rapidly as the 10 seconds are almost up. Once the chain
kill indicator disappears it will instantly begin to award the combo score
amount based on the current kills that have been chained. The bonus amount
that has been gained through the enemy kill chain will be awarded at that time.
(NOTE: The boss bonuses listed below are not all entirely correct. The final
kill is worth more points than what I have. I'm still trying to figure out how
much it's worth overall.)
.-------------------------------------------------------------.
| CURRENT COMBO | NORMAL ENEMY BONUS | BOSS ENEMY BONUS |
|=============================================================|
| 2 | + 20 per kill | + 500 per kill |
| 3 | + 50 per kill | + 1,000 per kill |
| 4 | + 100 per kill | + 1,500 per kill |
| 5 | + 200 per kill | + 2,000 per kill |
| 6 | + 250 per kill | + 2,500 per kill |
| 7 | + 300 per kill | + 3,000 per kill |
| 8 | + 350 per kill | + 3,500 per kill |
| 9 | + 400 per kill | + 4,000 per kill |
| 10-19 | + 500 per kill | + 4,500 per kill |
| 20-29 | + 600 per kill | + 5,000 per kill |
| 30-39 | + 700 per kill | + 5,500 per kill |
| 40-49 | + 850 per kill | + 6,000 per kill |
| 50-59 | + 1,000 per kill | + 7,000 per kill |
| 60-69 | + 1,200 per kill | + 8,000 per kill |
| 70-79 | + 1,400 per kill | + 10,000 per kill |
| 80-89 | + 1,700 per kill | + 12,000 per kill |
| 90-99 | + 2,000 per kill | + 15,000 per kill |
| 100-109 | + 3,000 per kill | + 20,000 per kill |
| 110-119 | + 4,000 per kill | + 26,000 per kill |
| 120-129 | + 6,000 per kill | + 34,000 per kill |
| 130-139 | + 10,000 per kill | + 40,000 per kill |
| 140-149 | + 15,000 per kill | + 45,000 per kill |
| 150+ | + 50,000 per kill | + 70,000 per kill |
'-------------------------------------------------------------'
Unlike the original Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, chaining kills is absolutely
mandatory in The Mercenaries Reunion if a player wants to achieve the highest
possible score. The full combo per stage should take full priority over time
bonuses received from melee kills, combo bonus chests and even a time bonus!
In other words:
1) If a possible prolonged melee kill is about to risk the combo chain, kill
the enemy with gunfire and forget about the +5 second time bonus that will
be received from the melee kill.
2) If collecting the combo timer from a combo bonus chest will risk the combo
too greatly, leave it.
3) If you are at the 149th kill and you see a 60 second time bonus in the
distance that will cost you the 150th combo chain in getting to it, forget
about the time bonus and kill the 150th enemy to include that enemy in the
chain and you'll receive a higher overall score.
In normal Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, the full 150 combo was worth 129,170 in
bonus points per normal enemy since each chain after 50 would continue to give
a player 1,000 points per kill. In The Mercenaries Reunion, the full combo
from 150 normal enemies is now worth 531,170 since the combo system continues
to increase in point value for ever multiple of 10 after the 59th kill.
NOTE: Normal enemies are considered any enemy except for those labeled as
bosses in the "Enemy Score Amount" listing. Basically, the Executioners,
Reapers, Giant Majini, Gatling Gun Majini and Chainsaw Majini are all
considered boss enemies. The chicken is a normal enemy.
The following is a breakdown of the current bonus received at the starting of
each kill range based on 150 normal enemies:
.-------------------------------------------------------.
| CURRENT COMBO | NORMAL ENEMY BONUS WITH NO BOSS BONUS |
|=======================================================|
| 2 | + 20 |
| 3 | + 70 |
| 4 | + 170 |
| 5 | + 370 |
| 6 | + 620 |
| 7 | + 920 |
| 8 | + 1,270 |
| 9 | + 1,670 |
| 10-19 | + 2,170 |
| 20-29 | + 7,270 |
| 30-39 | + 13,370 |
| 40-49 | + 20,520 |
| 50-59 | + 29,170 |
| 60-69 | + 39,370 |
| 70-79 | + 51,570 |
| 80-89 | + 65,870 |
| 90-99 | + 83,170 |
| 100-109 | + 104,170 |
| 110-119 | + 135,170 |
| 120-129 | + 177,170 |
| 130-139 | + 241,170 |
| 140-149 | + 346,170 |
| 150+ | + 531,170 |
'-------------------------------------------------------'
So, at the combo range of 30, a player will receive 13,370 if the combo was to
end at exactly 30.
Combo starting at 10 + 21-29 combo bonuses + kill 30 bonus = full bonus by 30
2,170 + (600 * 9) + 700 = 13,370
NOTE: Keep in mind that the above numbers are all figured based on normal
enemies (no bosses). Experimental Facility is the only stage with 150 normal
enemies.
===================================
RISING BONUS POINTS FROM BOSS KILLS
===================================
Check out the combo bonus system above and notice how the bonuses for killing a
boss continue to rise. In normal Mercs, the boss bonuses reached a fixed
amount of 7,000 points for each boss kill after 50 and each boss kill beyond
that amount. In Mercs Reunion, the boss kill bonuses continue to rise until
the final kill is made. If a boss is killed as the 150th enemy, a player will
get an intense score amount for defeating that boss.
In Mercenaries Reunion, part of a high score depends on saving bosses until
later in the kill chain. The boss can be weakened, but the moment it is
killed, the bonus points will be awarded. It's best to lure a boss around some
type of path while killing enemies or find some way to stun the boss (flash
round/grenade/magnum shot) while you melee kill enemies. A player will have to
keep a boss alive in both solo and duo for the maximum point amount.
In stages such as Public Assembly, a player can usually wait until about the
139th kill then start to finish off the bosses. The first Executioner in
Public Assembly will give a player an extra 45,000 points for being finished
off as the 140th enemy. The player can defeat the second Executioner during
any portion of the 140 range then finish off the final Executioner as the 150th
kill to get an extremely high bonus point amount.
Obviously, it is much harder to save bosses in some stages when compared to
others. Some characters come better prepared to save bosses as well.
Excella's flash rounds help out greatly for stunning a boss and Barry's high
powered magnum with a quick rate of fire works extremely well for finishing off
bosses quickly.
=============
COMBO BONUSES
=============
Blue egg-timers are hidden in chests throughout each stage. Once these are
collected the players will enter a 30 second period where "Combo Bonus" will
displayed on the upper right hand portion of the screen. During this Combo
Bonus period, each kill is worth an additional 1,000 points each.
A combo bonus chest is given in place of the current kill chain bonus point
amount if the kill chain is kept. Instead of receiving +20 points at the
second kill, a player will receive +1000 points for the second kill. Instead
of receiving 850 points at kill 40, a player will receive +1000 points for the
40th kill. Basically, grabbing one of these is like having a kill chain within
the range of 50-59 kills for a 30 second period. Since these act like a combo
chain bonus, they have no effect once the combo kill chain is at 50 or over 50.
NOTE: Once again, activating a combo chest with a kill chain of 50+ is useless
since the player(s) is (are) already receiving 1,000 bonus points for each
normal Majini kill. The 1,000 point bonus received from the combo chest cannot
override the current bonus since a player is already awarded 1,000 points per
kill by combo 50.
==========
TIME BONUS
==========
Hidden throughout each Mercenaries stage are orange colored time extenders that
can extend the clock by a certain amount of seconds. There are altogether 3
different type of time extenders that can be collected in Mercenaries mode.
Each time extender will add a certain amount of seconds to the clock as shown
below:
.----------------------.
| TIME EXTENDERS |
|======================|
| +30 |
| +60 |
| +90 |
'----------------------'
There is also a +5 second bonus per kill resulting from a melee kill. Even
though the time extension is minimal per melee kill this little bonus can be
used to build time and gain extra points from leftover time at the end of a
stage run. Characters that have heavy damaging melee attacks can easily
perform constant melee moves to keep adding seconds to the clock.
** Each second leftover = 300pts **
Ending a stage by killing all 150 enemies early will give the player an extra
300 points per second leftover. So if a player ends a stage early with 60
seconds left over then that player will gain a bonus 18,000 points added to the
score total once the stage ends. Unlike normal Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries,
leftover time in Mercenaries Reunion does not play near as much of a role in
high scoring BUT it is still a factor in high scores.
=============================
5 SECOND BONUS PER MELEE KILL
=============================
As mentioned in the time bonus description above, 5 bonus seconds will be added
to the clock per melee kill, so it is very important to try to gain a melee
kill on each enemy as much as possible. The enemy must actually be killed by a
melee attack to gain this score. Weakening an enemy with melee attacks will
not give any sort of bonus unless the enemies actually dies from a melee hit.
Multiple enemies that are killed with one melee will yield 5 bonus seconds per
enemy defeated, so if two enemies are finished off with the same Straight punch
then a Chris player will gain 10 bonus seconds instead of 5. Melee attacks
such as Rebecca's Flame Spray have a tendency to hit more than one enemy when
enemies are grouped and - with its extreme power - it will finish off any
normal Majini that it manages to hit.
Melee kills are important in both duo and solo mode. They are mainly important
for building time in order to finish a stage in solo mode. In duo mode, with
two characters melee killing at the same time, they can actually be used to
build extra time for extra points more often.
==============
RANKING SYSTEM
==============
Once the timer has run out or once all 150 enemies in a stage have been
defeated, a rank will be given at the end of the stage based on the player(s)
performance. Exchange points will be awarded and the score will be posted up on
the leaderboards.
.---------------------------------------------------------------.
| RANK GRADE | SOLO SCORE | DUO SCORE | EXCHANGE POINT AMOUNT |
|===============================================================|
| D | 0 - 9,999 | 0 - 19,999 | 200 |
| C | 10,000+ | 20,000+ | 600 |
| B | 20,000+ | 40,000+ | 1,000 |

| S | 60,000+ | 120,000+ | 3,000 |
| SS | 90,000+ | 150,000+ | 5,000 |
'---------------------------------------------------------------'
Rank differs depending on the mode that a player chooses to play on. While
playing in solo mode, the game is more forgiving in terms of grading, allowing
for a player to get a lower score and still get a high overall grade when
compared to duo mode. In duo mode, the player must work nearly twice as hard
in order to gain a high rank.
============
SPAWN POINTS
============
Spawn points are portions of a map where enemies will drop into the stage.
These might be a certain portion of a fence or a hole in the ceiling. A player
can camp out near these spawn points and shoot enemies as they drop but the
spawning region factor mentioned below will keep a player from gaining too many
kills from one particular spawn point.
Boss enemies all have their own fixed spawn points. Every map has several
spawn points and knowing their locations can really help out when enemies begin
to stop appearing once so many have been killed.
NOTE: Keep in mind that each stage can only hold a maximum of 12 enemies on the
stage at one time. This includes the chicken and any boss enemies. Enemies
that camp out in a certain portion of the map count toward the 12 maximum
number of enemies and limit enemy spawning with their prescence.
=======
REGIONS
=======
Each map has multiple regions that a player must step into in order to make
some enemies spawn from certain spawn points. Some regions cover a wide range
of the full map while other areas are much smaller. A player must enter all
regions throughout the course of the battle in order to make enemies spawn
since the enemies will stop appearing if a player chooses to stay in one area
range for too long.
=============
PLAGAS SPAWNS
=============
Majini plagas spawns are MUCH more widespread in Mercenaries Reunion when
compared to normal Mercenaries. The only type of plagas transformation that
will count as a kill is a Kipepeo spawn from a Wetland Majini. All other
plagas spawns - Cephalo spawns and Duvalia spawns - will not count as a kill if
the Majini starts to transform after being shot.
When a Majini spawns a Cephalo or a Duvalia, take out a high powered weapon and
defeat the plagas instantly or quickly turn toward another Majini and shoot it
to help maintain the kill streak. Duvalias take a few seconds longer to form
than Cephalos and a Duvalia is invincible to any type of gunfire except for a
burst of light or a direct hit with an explosive while the Majini transforms.
The best way to handle a plagas is to toss a flash grenade at it or shoot a
flash round at it - a Duvalia can be killed while it transforms with either of
these weapons. Either type of flash explosive will kill the plagas
immediately. If you don't have a flash grenade or flash round then you'll have
to defeat it quickly with powered weapon or quickly kill a nearby Majini to
maintain the kill streak.
A hand grenade tossed directly below a plagas or a proximity bomb is another
way to quickly defeat a plagas enemy such as a Cephalo or Duvalia. A hand
grenade will kill a Duvlia while it mutates just like a flash grenade will if
the explosion from the hand grenade hits it directly (the hand grenade goes off
underneath it).
========================================
MAJINI STUN ANIMATIONS FOR MELEE ATTACKS
========================================
(NOTE: Sometimes these stuns require two shots in a certain area of the body)
--> HEAD STUN
Shot in head from back or front
Stun animation(s):
.---------------------------------------------.
| Grab face and stumble backward |
| Grab face and stumble forward |
| Grab face and stumble slightly backwards |
| Grab face and look downward and to the side |
| Look downward and to the side |
'---------------------------------------------'
Comments: This stun comes in a variety of different animations. The staggering
stun is the longest yet other head stuns where the Majini remains still are
quite short.
This particular stun can be hard to realize sometimes thanks to the many
different animations associated with it. Not all of the head stun animations
involve the Majini staggering in a direction, so be sure to pay attention to
the way the Majini reacts and keep the list above in mind.
--> ARM STUN
Shot in upper arm from back or front
Stun animation(s):
.-----------------------------------------------------------------.
| Flinch to right and grab arm |
| Flinch to left and grab arm |
| Lean forward and grab right arm (shot in right arm from behind) |
| Lean forward and grab left arm (shot in left arm from behind) |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------'
Comments: This is one of the harder stuns to get since stronger Majini usually
take multiple shots in the upper arm in order for them to strike this pose.
This stun doesn't last that long, so react quickly with your melee attack
afterwards. An arm stun is completely random as to when it will occur, so the
stun animation may not activate on the first shot to the arm.
You have to basically aim for the bicep or elbow area. Shooting a Majini from
the front portion of the arm will make it flinch and shooting a Majini from the
back of the arm will make it lean forward. It's best to shoot the unequipped
arm since a shot toward an arm that is holding a weapon will usually only
stagger the Majini and make it drop its currently equipped weapon. Usually the
left arm is the best choice for the most part but there are certain weapon
wielders that are best shot in the right arm. For Majini with two-handed
weapons, shoot them in the left arm since the right arm is their main grasping
arm for the weapon.
--> LEG STUNS
a) Shot in upper leg from back or front:
Stun animation(s):
.------------------------------.
| Bend down and grab right leg |
| Bend down and grab left leg |
'------------------------------'
Comments: This stun last just about as long as a head staggering stun giving
your character plenty of time to hit the Majini. Like an arm stun, this stun
is completely random and may require multiple shots to the leg in order to
activate.
b) Shot in lower leg from back or front:
Stun animation(s):
.---------------.
| Fall to knees |
'---------------'
Comments: A Majini will recover rather quick from a lower leg stun when
compared to an upper leg stun, so be sure to follow up with an attack quickly
after this one.
--> KNOCKDOWN STUN
Shot while running/Knocked down by melee attack from back or front/Knocked down
from gunfire
Stun animation(s):
.----------------.
| Fall to ground |
'----------------'
Comments: Hitting a Majini in just about any part of the body while they run
will usually make them fall. A Majini will usually stay grounded for quite a
while. Remember that if they don't dissolve then they are still alive.
--> STAGGER/BOUNCE FROM ARM STUN
Stagger/Bounce from back or front
Shot in upper arm + melee then bouncing melee attack from behind
Stun animation(s):
.-------------------------------------------------.
| Stagger backwards from an arm stun melee attack |
'-------------------------------------------------'
Detailed Example: Hit a Majini with either Chris' Hook or Kick attack from an
arm stun then have Sheva hit the stumbling Majini back with a Twist Kick or
Knee (in this case from behind). The character that starts this sequence on a
Majini will receive a special tag team melee command when the Majini bounces
back toward that character.
Always remember that the Majini must be bounced back from the opposite side, so
let's say if Chris performs a Kick from behind a Majini then Sheva must perform
a Twist Kick from the front to bounce it back toward Chris. If either Chris or
Sheva hit a Majini from the same side that was used to begin the melee sequence
then that character will perform their head stun melee attack (Straight or
Roundhouse), which will instantly end the sequence and bring about much woe for
the character that wanted the special command.
Comments: This stun lasts about as long as a lower leg stun (crouching
animation), but the enemy will begin the stun by staggering in a direction then
that Majini will stand in place while stunned for a few seconds, so be sure to
run quickly to get in your melee attack.
--> PARTNER ASSIST MELEE BOUNCE FROM PARTER ACTION COMMAND
Partner Assist Melee + melee from in front of or behind
Stun animation(s):
.-----------------------------------------------.
| Stagger backwards from a partner assist melee |
'-----------------------------------------------'
Detailed Example: If Chris saves Sheva from a Majini that has grabbed her
through Chris' partner assist melee attack (Top-down Punch) then Sheva can
quick turn and run behind the staggering Majini then knee it back toward Chris.
Chris can make use of the same sequence by quickly kicking a Majini back toward
Sheva after she has performed a roundhouse to knock one off of him. All of
this depends upon how much health the Majini currently has much like an arm
stun combination. A partner assist command that results from a Bui kichwa or
Kipepeo grab will stagger any Majini that get in the way as well.
Comments: This stun is best performed on a full health Majini and one that is
stronger than some of the weak Majini found in the early stages. A Majini will
not always stagger from a partner assist melee because these are more damaging
than a simple arm stun, but if your character is the one being saved and you
see the Majini stagger backward, quickly try to make use of the situation by
running behind it and meleeing it back toward your partner. The camera is the
main aspect that can mess up this sequence for the character being saved since
the Majini will stagger behind that character.
Just like with a normal bounce, a Majini must be bounced back from the opposite
side that it was hit from or your character will only perform a head stun melee
attack. You can think of the partner assist melee as an alternate arm stun
melee.
--> GROUND MELEE BOUNCE
Ground Melee on fallen Majini (while another is to the side) + melee from in
front of or behind the staggering standing Majini
Stun animation(s):
.---------------------------------------.
| Stagger backwards from a ground stomp |
'---------------------------------------'
Detailed Example: If Chris perform his melee Stomp on a Majini and another
(standing) Majini happens to be right next to Chris' foot during the Stomp, the
standing Majini will stagger backward from the hit much like being hit with an
arm stun melee. A Sheva player could run up to the staggering Majini at that
time and bounce it back toward Chris with a melee from behind or hit the Majini
with a head stun melee from the front portion.
Comments: This type of stun is very rare and hard to plan out. It basically
depends on the aggressiveness and overall placement of a Majini. The Majini
that the bounce is performed to has to be right next to the character that
performs the ground melee when the actual hit is delivered in order to get
bounced back by the ground melee attack. In this case, the ground melee would
hit the Majini much like an arm stun and the partner will be free to interact
with the staggering Majini by hitting it with a physical attack just like after
an arm stun.
=============================
MERCENARY ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
=============================
The following section is a list of techniques that should be utilized to help a
player gain the most out of The Mercenaries minigame. Learning these will help
your overall game greatly during intense situations. All of these are taken
from the advanced basics section of my RE5 guide, but they come in even greater
use in the Mercenaries, so they need to be emphasized here strongly. With the
type of pressure that your character will be under sometimes, making use of the
following techniques is very necessary.
--------------------
INVINCIBILITY FRAMES
--------------------
An invincibility frame is a frame of animation when your character is
completely or partially (during a certain point) invincible to any type of
enemy attack. Your character cannot be controlled once these animations have
started up till the point that they stop; the inventory menu can be pulled up
during most of these animations - keep that in mind. Some of these obviously
cause your character to lose health, but the character can't be hit with any
other attack during that time.
Here's the full list of invincibility animations:
- While grabbing an item
- While jumping from a platform/vaulting over an object
- Giving an item
- Performing a melee attack
- While recovering from an attack
- While a partner performs a Resuscitation in Duo mode(both character are
invincible; a player cannot pull up inventory during this)
- While climbing a ladder
- While grounded
- While on fire (burning animation)
- While electrified (shocking animation)
- While holding up arms to block debris from an explosion
- Door kick animation
- During a hold, when your character is winning/losing the struggle
In The Mercenaries, knowing about these invincibility frames will help out
considerably! For instance, if a player sees an item that the player wants to
grab, but it is near a Majini, that player can quickly run toward the item then
wait for the Majini to attack. Right when the Majini attacks, pick up the item
to avoid the attack due to the invincibility of picking up the item then shoot
the Majini while it recovers from the attack.
NOTE: Check the Basics section of my full RE5 guide for a much greater
description of each invincibility frame listed above.
--------------------------------------------
EXCLUSIVE MERCENARY INVINCIBILITY ANIMATIONS
--------------------------------------------
See the advanced techniques section under basics for a full list of
invincibility animations in the main game of Resident Evil 5. All of the same
invincibility animations from the main game can be take advantage of in the
Mercenaries mode, but there are also a few that are exclusive to the
Mercenaries minigame:
--> COLLECTING A COMBO BONUS
Whenever a character opens a chest containing a combo bonus, that character
cannot be hit with an enemy attack while the chest is being opened. While
collecting the time bonus, the character can also not be hit much like
collecting an item. A player can actually take advantage of the chest opening
animation invincibility even further and pull up the inventory to cycle through
it if needed.
--> HITTING A TIME EXTENDER
A character cannot be hit from the moment a melee command is issued to hit a
time extender. The entire makes the character invincible much like a normal
melee attack. Did you know that this melee attack can hit enemies that happen
to be in close range of the time extender item? You do now, buddy! The melee
staggers Majini just like any normal arm stun melee.
TIP: Keep in mind that a player can pull up the inventory and quickly make
adjustments during the combo bonus pickup and the melee hit to destroy a time
extender listed above. Hitting a time extender is a melee animation, so one
could easily reload through the inventory or make some much needed inventory
adjustments at that time.
----------------------------------------
PULLING UP THE INVENTORY DURING GAMEPLAY
----------------------------------------
Learn to take advantage of certain actions when pulling up the inventory menu.
The following actions will allow you to pull up the inventory menu while the
character is in the middle of the animation and most of these animations will
leave your character invincible to attacks.
- the moment when your character tosses off or receives a hit from a grappling
enemy
- after sustaining a hit
- while climbing a ladder
- while vaulting over an obstacle/jumping/jumping through a window
- while quick turning (NOT INVINCIBLE)
- in between gunshots (NOT INVINCIBLE)
- during a melee attack, ground melee or partner assist melee
- while reaching down to pick up an item
- while healing (NOT INVICIBLE)
- during reloading animations (NOT INVINCIBLE)
- during a taunt (NOT INVINCIBLE) [it's the novelty that counts here]
NOTE: The full animation for some of these instances must be fully finished
before an item can be equipped, but anytime during the animation, you can have
the "Equip" option ready to trigger as the animation ends. So, say if a player
jumps through a window, the player can select an item and pull up the equip
option, but the player can't actually equip the item until the player's
character fully stands.
NOTE: Check the Basics section of my full RE5 guide for a much greater
description of each invincibility frame listed above.
----------------------------------------
ADVANCED RELOADING (INVENTORY RELOADING)
----------------------------------------
- Pull up the inventory menu
- Select the desired ammo
- Combine the ammo with the proper gun that needs reloading for an instant
reload
- Quickly cancel the inventory menu by pressing the assist button
NOTE: A player can press the aiming button while an item or weapon is
highlighted to cancel the inventory screen and equip the current item or
weapon.
Reloading via the inventory menu does not require your character to perform any
reloading animation and it is instant. This can also be done while in the
middle of melee attack or jump. STARS Wesker players will be SEVERLY crippled
while using his Hydra if the Wesker player does not reload through the
inventory because of his near 4 second reload time.
--> INVENTORY RELOAD WITH AMMO IN THE MIDDLE
Since your cursor will always start in the middle slot on the inventory grid
for every time that you open the inventory menu, you can place the desired ammo
in the middle of the inventory grid then place the corresponding gun to the
immediate right, left, top middle or bottom middle slot, so you can quickly
select the ammo upon opening the menu then press in either of those four
directions to combine it quickly.
When you reload through inventory, use the action button to quickly combine the
ammo with the gun. For my setup, I always place shotgun or rifle ammo in my
middle inventory slot then place the shotgun or rifle to the left of that slot,
so basically, for every reload with the shotgun or rifle, I perform the
following button sequence:
Xbox 360 - Y, X, left, X, B (to cancel inventory)
PS3 - /\, [], left, [], O (to cancel inventory)
And my inventory menu looks much like the inventory menu shown below:
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| Dragunov <--- Rifle | |
| SVD (RIF) | Ammo (50) | |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | First Aid | |
| | Spray | |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
--> INVENTORY RELOAD WITH AMMO ON THE TOP LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES
Many players like to use this setup for inventory reloading:
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| Rifle | |Machine Gun|
| Ammo (50) | | Ammo (150)|
| | | | | |
|-----|-----+-----------+-----|-----|
| | | | | |
| v | | v |
| Dragunov | | VZ61 |
| SVD (RIF) | | (MG) |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | First Aid | |
| | Spray | |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
Through the above display, we see that players have a gun on the right and left
side of the middle portion of the inventory menu then they quickly pull up the
inventory and select ammo from the top left or top right row then quickly
combine it with the gun below the ammo. The above setup basically requires
that your character reloads while in the middle of an animation.
--> A COMBINATION OF THE TWO
Whenever I inventory reload, I use a mix of the two above and usually have ammo
for a gun in the middle of my inventory along with a gun on the center right
square with the ammo in the square above it. So here is a look at my usual
setup:
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| | |Machine Gun|
| | | Ammo (150)|
| | | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----|-----|
| | | | |
| | | v |
| Dragunov <--- Rifle | VZ61 |
| SVD (RIF) | Ammo (50) | (MG) |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | First Aid | |
| | Spray | |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
As you can imagine, I have to perform a lot of adjustments constantly to gain
the above inventory appearance, but it sure is worth it, especially in The
Mercenaries mode.
--> RELOAD FRAME CANCELING
Make sure that the melee attack button prompt appears first then reload in
front of an enemy that is stunned. During any portion of the reload animation
hit the Action button to instantly end the reload animation and cancel into a
melee attack. The reload will still take place but the animation will be
cancelled early and this will give your character a full reload.
--------------------------------
QUICK TURN AIMING (QUARTER TURN)
--------------------------------
(Control types A and B only)
Command: While holding the right thumbstick to the right or left, press the Aim
button when a weapon is equipped.
Your character will quickly turn toward the viewpoint direction and aim when
the aiming button is pressed. This technique can be used to aim to the side
quickly. This is an old technique from Resident Evil 4. Many hardcore Mercs
players that use Control Type A or B can really use this to their advantage for
turning to face different directions.
===============================================================================
MERCENARY REUNION STAGES [ST00]
===============================================================================
The following is a list of all stages in The Mercenaries Reunion mode along
with a map and a full listing of the details for each stage. The maps are set
up like so:
- Time Bonus and Combo Bonus Locations
- Regions (for enemy spawning)
- Blank Map (For the gamer that wants so make his/her own location listings)
The individual maps are listed in each stage section below.
*******************************************************************************
NOTE:
Some of the stage info is a bit "off" at the moment... mainly for enemy totals
per spawning region. The majority is based off info from normal RE5 Mercs.
Most of it stays the same for Reunion, but some of it changes. Experimental
Facility is one of the few stages with different enemy totals per spawning
region).
These inconsistencies will be edited in future updates.
Also, this stage section is rather brief at the moment since I'm still learning
the Reunion stages myself. It's really best to learn about stage strategies
through videos and then make up your own strategy based on what you saw.
Copying a strategy 100% is not always the best option.

---------------------------
OVERVIEW OF PUBLIC ASSEMBLY
---------------------------
Ah, yes, Public Assembly! The easiest of all stages! The most basic stage! The
training ground for all character types! Right?
No...
Public Assembly has undergone quite a change since the original Mercs mode. It
appears to be the same basic stage. The layout remains the same, but some of
the time bonuses positioning has changed a bit. There is no annoying time
bonus up the ladder in the south anymore. Oh no, instead, there is a time
bonus up the ladder and up the next ladder to make getting to it even more of a
risk on the kill combo!
--> THINGS HEAT UP AROUND THE 50TH KILL ONWARD
The enemy setup appears to be unchanged from the beginning of the stage. The
Agitator no longer appears at the beginning like he used to. Just wait until
later in the stage however. Around kill 50 one of the Town Majini will spawn a
Duvalia and then a few of them will start to spawn Cephalos. Cephalos spawns
pick up GREATLY once a player gets near kill 100. At kill 100, Big Man Majini
will start to appear from spawn points.
The Big Man Majini have less health than the ones in original Mercenaries mode,
but they are more aggressive, carry weapons and have new attacks. Big Man
Majini can actually grab a player from behind now! Anywhere from kill 100 to
kill 150 the Agitator and Allyson (blonde woman) from the main RE5 story mode
will appear and attack.
--> THE AGITATOR AND ALLYSON
The Agitator is a scripted Duvalia, so finish him off with an instant kill
melee or knock him to the ground and perform a ground melee to keep him from
spawning a Cephalo. Allyson is most aggressive Majini that a player will find
in the Mercenaries Reunion. She will hardly ever walk in place. She will dash
most of the time. It almost seems that her AI is set to Professional level
difficulty. She will grab without hesitation no matter if your character's
back is turned or not.
Allyson is a scripted Cephalo, so attempt to get an instant kill melee on her
or some melee that cancels plagas spawns. It's kind of hard to hit her
precisely at times. She moves very quickly and will not hesitate to grab. If
she is damaged too much, she will spawn a Cephalo and her Cephalo seems to have
more health than the rest of the Majini Cephalos, so be ready to spam her
Cephalo with gunfire if she spawns one.
--> THE EXECUTIONERS ARRIVE LATER
Public Assembly still has three Executioners. They arrive at different times
now. The first will spawn from the southwest fence spawn point on the hill at
kill 40, the second will spawn from the fence spawn point below the executioner
platform at kill 60 and the third will spawn from the gate spawn point in the
northwest at kill 90. The Executioners remain unchanged in difficulty and
overall attack variety. The third will appear in the midst of Cephalo spawns
and the beginning of the Big Man Majini wave, so be prepared to finish him
quickly when he appears.
The Executioners still cannot follow a player into the bus in the center
portion of the assembly. He CAN swing his axe and hit a player through the
walls of the bus is he begins an attack while the player is still on the
outside. He will not bother a player while a player remains inside of the bus
however. This bit of knowledge can be exploited to save all Exectuioners until
around the 130-150 kill in Reunion so a player can gain a higher point amount
for killing them at that time.

----------
(See the maps at the beginning of this section for a list of spawn points and
areas)
NOTE: All enemies listed below are based on enemies that actually spawn in the

REGION LIST (for enemy spawning)
--------------------------------
There are two regions total for the Public Assembly stage:
-- Region A
Region A starts in the far north portion of the area and ends at the same
portion where the southwest ramp on the hill slopes downward.
-- Region B
Region B begins just a few steps past where the main gate used to be in story
mode - the gate that is blown open by Kirk. This regions extends all the way
to the far south and includes the rest of the map.
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
- Hit at least the timer on the rooftop and the two timers in the buildings
before starting to kill enemies.
- Try to pick up at least two combo chests while killing.
- The Executioner cannot enter the bus, so fight inside of the bus if you're
trying to save the Executioner for later in the combo to get a higher score.
The first Executioner arrives at kill 40, so you won't have to enter the bus
until the 50-60th kill.
DUO:
- The player that starts on the executioner platform should wait until about
the 10-20th kill before climbing the ladder to get on the rooftop with the 60
second timer. The other player will have to stay in charge of the combo while
getting this timer for the most part.
- The player that starts on the execution platform will have a much wider area
to fight in which is perfect for melee killing around the Exectioner if the
player insist on killing him at the end of the run for a higher score.
BOTH:
- Place a proximity bomb next to the green herb on the third floor rooftop in
order to kill the bowgun Majini that climb up to the roof toward the end of the
stage. This will prevent a player from having to make precise shots to hit him
from a distance.
- Try to save all flash grenade for Duvalia spawns. Don't use them on Cephalos
untless your character doesn't have a magnum and the counter for the combo
gauge is blinking when one spawns.

---------------------
OVERVIEW OF THE MINES
---------------------
The Mines still carries the same basic Town Majini types from the starting of
the stage. Big Man Majini will not show up until a bit later into the kill
streak for Mines now. The Mines now has a brand new enemy. A dog type enemy
known as an Adjule will spawn every now and then.
--> NEW ENEMY: ADJULES
Adjules come in three different sizes ranging from small, medium and large.
They have around 800 HP each so you'll need to use a powered weapon such as a
shotgun or magnum to kill them quickly. Adjules will attack with a quick bite
attack. They stand at a distance from a player then suddenly run up to a
player and leap into the air then bite them. Adjules will always growl before
they attack. They are very quick when they attack and they will always run
away from the player then turn and look back after each attack.
Adjules can make their head split open and show the plagas inside of the dog
body. Once an Adjule reveals its plagas, it will gain a whole new set of
attacks. It can stand at a distance and quickly impale a player with its plagas
tentacle. It can also leap onto a player and maul them with its plagas mouth.
A player must shake the left analog to fight off the attacking Adjule when it
pounces or get a partner to kick off the dog via the partner assist melee
command that will appear while a partner stands near the attacked character.
Adjules are a great threat while they are in the area and they can get
incredibly annoying with their quick attacks. Always make sure to defeat them
first when they are in a crowd with other enemies. Once they reveal their
plagas be sure to kill them quickly. They have more health once their plagas
is revealed, but they are weak to a bright flash of light and electrical damage
just like any other plagas enemies. Toss a flash grenade, shoot a flash round
or hit them with a stun rod to quickly kill them once their plagas is revealed.
--> THE FAMILIAR REAPER
Three Reapers will still appear later in the kill streak in the Mines, but just
like in all other Reunion stages, their appearance is delayed by a few kills
when compared to normal Mercenaries.
A Reaper enemy should be shot in its center weak point with a powered weapon
when the weak point opens in order to defeat it. A character that does not
have a magnum needs to find a hand grenade or a proximity bomb and use the
explosive blast of either to damage it greatly. After it has been damaged with
a direct hit from the explosion of either explosive weapon, it will be weak
enough to where just about any type of gunfire to any of its weak points will
finish it off.
A Reaper can be stunned with two flash or acid rounds to where it will lean
back and reveal its chest weak point. It can also be stunned with the
electricity from an electric round or a stun rod. The first stun will only
make the Reaper lean over and show its shoulder weak point. If a player fires
an electric round directly at a shoulder weak point, the Reaper will lean back
and show its main chest weak point.
--> THE PLAGAS
Jut like in every stage, the plagas spawns will begin to pick up around kill
100. Cephalos will begin to spawn from Town Majini, so be ready to blast a
Majini with a powered weapon after a plagas spawn or have a flash grenade or
flash round handy to instantly kill the plagas.
Big Man Majini come in fewer number in Mines unlike Public Assembly. They will
appear throughout the Mines kill streak. Usually, no more than two at a time
will appear the majority of the time.

-- Region B

area.
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
- It's really best to start from the platform starting point, so you can easily
hit the upper level timers without having to climb as many ladders.
- If you intend to save the Reaper until later in the combo, take advantage of
the ledges and the bridge and move along them then kill while running from the
Reaper. It's best to start killing while outside of the bottom tunnel and
while still on the upper ledges. While inside the bottom tunnel, a player can
use the back circular tunnel portion to run from the Reaper while melee
killing.
DUO:
- To save the Reaper, the player in the bottom tunnel should keep the Reaper
busy by constantly circling the back portion of the tunnel while killing.
BOTH:
- If an Adjule reveals its plagas (splits its head), toss a flash grenade to
instantly kill it.
- Adjules cannot climb or hop up onto raised surfaces so they can't move up to
the upper ledges. They will remain below and run near the wall, so they can be
shot from a distance to help keep the combo going.

OVERVIEW OF THE VILLAGE
-----------------------
--> WETLAND MAJINI + PLAGAS
Wetland Majini are once again the main Majini type that are fought on Village.
They carry spears and some of them carry shields. Character weapons that have
a pierching property will be very beneficial for the wooden shield carriers
here. Some of the Wetland Majini wear helmets and mud musk, so shooting them in
the head is not always the best option for some characters.
Bui Kickwa enemies still appear slightly from the start of the stage then pick
up toward the end. Cephalo spawns do not begin until about midway through the
stage. Duvalia's will begin to spawn from some Wetland Majini toward the end
of the stage run.
--> WETLAND MAJINI WITH GREATER HEALTH
Unlike normal Mercenaries, the starting Wetland Majini in the stage do not have
greater health when compared to the rest. The Wetland Majini with reddish
brown mask that appear toward the end of a Village run have greater health
amounts however. They have about 25% more health than the standard Wetland
Majini. The Majini with masks that appear toward the end are the main Majini
that will spawn a Duvalia so try to cancel the plagas with a melee attack that
will cancel it or be ready to kill the Duvalia with a flash grenade.
--> THE GIANT MAJINI
Giant Majini will begin to spawn later in the run. The final two Giant Majini
come in a pair. Time bonuse placement remains the exact same as it was in
normal Mercenaries. All time bonuses even carry the same amount of time. All
items still remain in the exact same spots as well. It's a good idea to grab
green herbs and mix them then stock up on flash grenades on the tables of the
bottom area.

ENEMY LIST
----------
NOTE 1: All enemies listed below are based on enemies that actually spawn in
the stage. Some enemies are already present from the beginning so the amount
of enemies listed below will not add up to the total amount of enemies. The
chicken(s) in each stage count(s) as an enemy also.
NOTE 2: Exclusive to the Village and Ancient Ruins stage, there are actually
more than 150 enemies, so the stage will end once 150 enemies have been killed
even though there may be more enemies in the area.

REGION LIST (for enemy spawning)

the beginning portion of the bottom bridge.
-- Region B

the south.
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
DUO:
- Both players should meet up at the bottom area around the 100th kill since
the upper area will begin to run dry of enemies.
BOTH:
- Keep a hand grenade or flash grenade for the final portion of the kill combo
then toss the explosive to kill off multiple enemies at once to make the kill
combo go above 150 for a higher score.
- A player can stand on the hill in the northwest portion of the map and allow
Bui Kichwa enemies to gather below the hill. They can be used to help maintain
the kill streak and a player can toss a flash grenade at the 149th kill in
order to kill them all off for a 150+ combo.
- The final few Majini with dark masks that spawn along the upper floor have
more life and will usually spawn a Cephalo or Duvalia once killed, so try to
kill them with a melee that will cancel a plagas spawn.

OVERVIEW OF ANCIENT RUINS
-------------------------
--> NEW ENEMY: KIPEPEOS
Ancient Ruins continues to be a map filled with Wetland Majini that can spawn
Cephalos and Duvalias, but Reunion adds two more plagas types - now the Wetland
Majini can spawn Kipepeos and Bui Kichwas will spawn in some areas. Torch
Majini still spawn at certain kills and Giant Majini will appear as the stage
progresses. Overall a player will fight a mixture of every type of Wetland
Majini on Ancients Ruins once again.
There are now four flash grenades near the 90 second time bonus in the east
portion of the map. There are still a few fixed flash grenade drops as well.
Flash grenades still carry an important role in this map with the many Duvalias
that can spawn.
--> SCRIPTED PLAGAS SPAWNING AREAS
Just like in other stages, all plagas spawns are scripted, but unlike other
stages there will usually be a specific type of plagas per enemy spawning
region. The east region has several scripted Duvalia spawns while the northwest
regions has several scripted Kipepeo spawns. Knowing these regions can help a
player anticipate the plagas spawn and either cancel the plagas or be ready to
toss a flash grenade or shoot a flash round so as not to endanger the kill
streak.

REGION LIST (for enemy spawning)
--------------------------------
There are five regions total for the Ancient Ruins stage:
-- Region A
Region A covers all of the southwest area with the 90 second timer, combo bonus
and chicken. The moment a player steps through either of the southwest
doorways, that player will enter Region B.
-- Region B
Region B begins outside the southwest area and extends to the north. It's
north boundary stops at the very top of the first middle staircase in the
south. It's east boundary stops at the wall that hides a 60 second timer.
-- Region C
Region C includes the majority of the southeast area. It includes the bottom
tunnel and a good bit of the second floor walkway above the tunnel. The north
boundary stops right where the north wall of the tunnel ends. The area behind
the wall to the southwest with the 60 second timer is part of this region.
-- Region D
Region D covers the northwest portion of the map. It's southwest boundaries
take up the walkway that leads to the north lower walkway from the west side.
The top of the staircase that leads to the north and the walkway below the
stairs are actually in Region E however.
-- Region E
Region E covers most of the north portion of the map. It covers the lower and
upper portion of the north walkway to the east. It's boundaries stretch to the
top of the south staircase in the middle but only extend toward the north wall
of the bottom floor tunnel in the east.
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
DUO:
BOTH:
- The second and sixth torch Majini are both scripted Cephalos so finish them
off with a melee that will cancel a plagas spawn.
- The majority of the Wetland Majini that wear masks in the east portion of the
map will become Duvalias, so finish them with a melee that will cancel a plagas
spawn.
- Just like in Village, save a hand grenade or flash grenade for the ending
portion of the kill streak then toss the explosive to finish off multiple
enemies and make the kill streak go above 150 enemies for a higher score.

.---------------------------------.
| ENEMY TYPE | POINT AMOUNT |
|=================================|
| Majini (Base) = 400 |
| Cephalo = 800 |
| Licker Beta = 800 |
| Duvalia = 900 |
| Chicken = 2,000 |
'---------------------------------'
--------
OVERVIEW
--------
--> BASE MAJINI + NO BOSSES
Just like in normal Mercenaries, Experimental Facility still has no boss
enemies. The stage is composed entirely of all normal enemies, so there is no
way to exploit boss bonuses for the last few kills on this stage!
Base Majini are still the main Majini type that are fought on the this stage.
There are not any separate Base Majini and Lickers waves anymore. The top
portion of the facility mainly has Base Majini and the bottom portion has a
mixture of Base Majini and Lickers. Base Majini will still spawn Duvalias at
times, but now they can spawn Cephalos as well. The plagas spawns will
increase as the stage progresses like usual.
--> NEW ENEMY: BASE MAJINI WITH MACHINE GUNS
Base Majini with rocket launchers will spawn throughout the stage and they come
in much greater number than in normal Mercs. Base Majini with machine guns now
inhabit Experimental Facility and they will appear in greater number toward the
end of a run. These Majini will blast a player with short bursts of gunfire
from their machine guns. They can really drain a health bar fast at a
distance. Machine gun Majini should be killed immediately when they first
appear. They can be VERY dangerous with their rapid fire.
The machine gun Majini have a pattern to their attacks however just like any
enemy. They will fire two rapid fire burst of machine gun fire then reload, so
a player can run to the sides to avoid the first two burst fires then shoot the
Majini while it reloads.
Base Majini still toss grenades and have armor on different portions of their
body. Their main attack is usually a stun rod strike just like in normal
Mercenaries. Experimental Facility still carries the same bad hit detection
per Base Majini when the Majini is shot in the head. Once a Majini is shot in
the head, a head stun is not guaranteed. Characters that rely on head stun
melees for killing will be much weaker on Experimental Facility when compared
to other stages.
--> THE LICKER BETAS
Lickers will still attempt to pounce a player. A player will have to input the
counter attack command by pressing the []+X/A+X buttons when the button command
appears or face a Licker pounce. In solo mode, a Licker pounce is still
instant death and on duo, a partner must knock off the Licker with a gunshot or
partner assist melee.
As previously mentioned, all Lickers will spawn on the bottom floor. The only
Lickers that a player will fight on the top floor in solo mode are one of three
Lickers that begin on the bottom floor from the beginning of the stage.

Lying along the southwest wall in the spike trap that is on the north side of
the first floor.
[ ] Green Herb
Right before moving down the stairs to the 60 second time bonus on the bottom
floor, this will be on the platform above the stairs that leads to that floor,
along the southwest corner.
----------
CHICKEN(S)
----------
[ ] Chicken
The chicken will be standing on the portion of the floor right above a red
explosive barrel on the very bottom floor from the start of the stage. It is
best to NOT shoot the explosive barrel right at the beginning since the
explosion will set off the oil canisters to the side and trap a player in
between flame streams.
----------
ENEMY LIST
----------
NOTE: All enemies listed below are based on enemies that actually spawn in the
stage. Some enemies are already present from the beginning so the amount of

chicken(s) in each stage count(s) as an enemy also.
NOTE 2: In solo Experimental Facility in Mercs Reunion, three Lickers always
start in the bottom area and then all the other enemies spawn from spawn points

the bottom floor respectively.)
-----------
REGION LIST
-----------
There are two regions total for the Experimental Facility stage:
-- Region A
Region A covers all of the bottom floor (B1F) and the first floor (1F).
-- Region B
Region B covers all of second floor (2F) and third floor (3F).
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
- In order to maintain a combo while moving in between floors, a player will
need to make use of a proximity bomb or hand grenade. Toss the hand grenade at
enemies while climbing up a ladder or while falling down a ladder to hit the
enemies that follow or lay down a proximity bomb on the floor that you drop
from/are about to step off of.
- A player can also stand near the ladder and lure some enemies over to it then
drop or climb and quick turn to shoot the enemies in order to keep the combo
going.
- Get ready to leave the top area around the 50th kill (about 55) if you start
on top. A player will run out of enemies shortly after the 60th kill is made
if that player stays on top.
DUO:
- The player that starts on the top floor should drop down to the bottom floor
and meet up with the partner sometimes after the 100th kill since the top floor
spawns will be nearly cleaned out by then.
BOTH:
- Heavy Metal Chris is the only character that can melee kill a Licker (with
his stun rod), so he is really the best choice for this stage. Since there are
no bosses in the stage, the combo bonus from normal enemies and the overall
leftover time are the main determining factors for a high score.

OVERVIEW
--------
--> TOWN MAJINI AND TONS OF CEPALOS
Missile Area still has only Town Majini present in the stage as the main Majini
type much like in the original Mercs mode. The stage still carries a vast
amount of Cephalo spawns. Cephalos now spawn in an extreme great number from a
certain region of the stage - the majority of them spawn from the area along
the top middle walkway when a player climbs to the top walkway. About half of
all Majini that are not finished with a melee that cancels plagas will spawn
Cephalos in the middle region.
--> GATLING GUN MAJINI AND CAMPERS
Three Gatling Gun Majini will still appear in the stage at certain kills - they
all appear much later into the kill count now. All of them still appear from
the same spawn points.
Missile Area now has a bunch of stationary Majini that will camp out in certain
portions of the map. These Majini carry either bowguns, dynamite or cocktails.
They all stand on the overhead walkways and attack from up high. These enemies
will reduce the total number of enemies that will attack on the screen at one
time so they need to defeated quickly.
The camping Majini can be used to save the combo as well. Since they stay in a
certain area, a player will be sure to always have an enemy to kill in that
particular area. The camping Majini can be very crucial to keeping a full
combo in solo mode.
Quite a few of the camping Majini will arrive once a player has stepped into a
specific spawning region. Most of them appear when a player steps onto the
middle high walkway region. There are two that will spawn while a player is in
the far north a regions as well.

REGION LIST
-----------
There are six regions total for the Missile Area stage:
-- Region A (green)
Region A is split into two portions. The south portion covers the entire
second floor walkway in the south and the northern portion covers the majority
of the middle walkway in the north up until the walkway stretches across the
bottom floor in the north area.
-- Region B (yellow)
Region B is split into two portions just like Region A. It covers the north
portion of the south high walkway. The bottom portion of the stairs on the
west side of the south walkway is where the south boundary starts for the south
portion of this region. On the middle walkway, this regions covers the
platform with the 30 second timer, the narrow walkway to the east of the
platform and the side of the walkway in front of the middle shaft before
reaching the path that leads to the east storage room.
-- Region C (red)
Region C covers all of the bottom portion of the south floor up until a player
passes underneath the south overhead walkway.
-- Region D (orange)
Regions D starts below the stairs that lead up to the middle portion of the
bottom floor of the stage. Its boundary extends to the north up until a player
steps past the top walkway along the conveyor belt that leads to the storage
room.
-- Region E (light blue)
Region E begins near the west area with the missiles on the wall past the
railing. The region extends all the way to the south up until a player drops
from the north end of either walkway that hangs over the north conveyor belt.
-- Region F (purple)
Region F covers the entire bottom floor of the north area. A player can stand
on the north portion of the middle conveyor belt and still be in this region.
The north portion of the middle high walkway is also included in this area. A
player can stand right next to the potion of the walkway in front of the tall
ladder and hop over the gap then stand on the piece of walkway to the east and
still be in this area.
----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
DUO:
- In order to delay the killing of the first Gatling Gun Majini, the player
that starts near the 90 second timer, should lure the Gatling Majini to the
north area while on the way to breaking the 90 seconds then keep luring him
around that area until the player moves to the middle area. A player can use
hand grenades or proximity bombs to stun and damage the Gatling Gun Majini
while running from him.
BOTH:
- The top floor region (Region B) has almost nothing but scripted Cephalos
during the first 10 - 15 kills in that region, so perform constant melees that
will cancel plagas spawns in order to avoid the Cephalo spawnings.
- The north area region and the regions on the upper walkways both make Majini
spawn that will camp out on the upper walkways no matter where you move to.
These Majini will continue to stand in place and can cost a player the full
combo. Be sure to finish them off early from a distance. They can be used to
help maintain the combo as well. The north regions make two campers appear
also (one on the north walkway over the north conveyor belt and one dynamite
Majini on the walkway right above the tall ladder).

OVERVIEW
--------
--> MANY DIFFERENT ITEM PLACEMENTS
Normal Town Majini are still the main enemy types on Ship Deck. Ship Deck
still remains the only stage with extra weapons. There are still a total of
three rocket launchers hidden in the stage as well as a grenade launcher. The
grenade launcher now comes equipped with explosive rounds instead of flame
rounds in Reunion. Nitrogen rounds and flash round pickups are lying in the
stage now. One rocket launcher position and the grenade launcher position has
changed.
--> THE CHAINSAW MAJINI AND... OTHER BOSSES!?
Ship Deck was always known for its chainsaw Majini bosses that would appear
early in the stage in normal Mercenaries. In Mercenaries Reunion, the chainsaw
Majini still appear, but they appear much later into the run. Two chainsaw
Majini will still appear at once. The little surprise of having a blue and red
chainsaw Majini appear at once seems much less deadly in normal Mercs when
compared to Reunion. In Mercenaries Reunion's Ship Deck, the final three boss
enemies are a red Gatling Gun Majini and two blue chainsaw Majini. Should you
save a rocket launcher for them?
You damn right, you should!
--> TONS OF PLAGAS ENEMIES... BUT WE HAVE A GRENADE LAUNCHER WITH FLASH ROUNDS!
As usual, plagas spawns will pick up later into the combo on Ship Deck. This
time there is no specific area where the plagas will appear. They just all
start spawning at around a specific kill (around 100). Thankfully, a player
has access to a grenade launcher with flash round and nitrogen round ammo in
the stage that can be used to cancel or instantly kill the plagas enemies.

CHICKEN(S)
----------
[ ] Chicken
The chicken starts out on the small suspended platform in the southeast portion
of the ship. This platform has a rocket launcher pickup laying against its
railing and a Town Majini with a bowgun is on top of the tower also. In order
to get to the tower, a player will have to swing from the zipline along the
crane tower in the west. It's best to shoot this chicken from a distance or
fire a rocket at the platform to kill it off quickly.

OVERVIEW
--------
Prison is still the only map with one specific area for enemy spawning. No
matter where a player stands in this stage, the enemies will still spawn.
Prison still has the most aggressive Town Majini out of any stage. Cephalo and
Duvalis spawns will still increase as a run progresses just like in many other
stages.
--> IT'S RAINING KIMBOS!
Big Man Majini will not start to show up until around the 50th kill. An entire
wave of almost nothing but Big Man Majini will come at the end of Prison. They
literally group up on a player like Town Majini toward the end of a run. Town
Majini with dynamite still appear toward the end, but the Big Man Majini will
be more numerous.
--> TWO NORMAL EXECUTIONERS AND THREE RED EXECUTIONERS!
In normal Mercenaries, a red Executioner would start out in the stage from the
beginning. In Mercenaries Reunion, the first Executioner will not appear until
the 50th kill. The first Executioner will be a normal Executioner then a red
Executioner will appear shortly afterward and another normal Executioner will
follow. The final two Executioners are red. There are total of five
Executioners overall - two normal and three red Executioners.
--> MAJOR CHANGES IN TIME BONUSE PLACEMENT
Quite a few of the time bonuses have been changed in Prison. There is now a
time bonus in the center area and several other time bonuses have been
rearranged in the stage as well. First Aid Spray pickups have now been added
in two places on the map. The majority of the item placements remain the same
however.

REGIONS
-------
-- Regions A

----------
STAGE TIPS
----------
SOLO:
- Hit the majority of the time bonuses in the Prison before fighting. The
chicken should be the first enemy that is killed. Pick up the combo bonus from
the chest then start fighting after killing the chicken.
- A player can step inside of the room with the green herb on the first floor
in order to delay the first red Executioner's arrival. The red Executioner
will not arrive until a player steps outside of this room. DO NOT step through
a doorway or a window or the red Executioner will spawn.
DUO:
- Both players need to work out a strategy where they can hit all time bonuses
before fighting or one player can hit the time bonuses while another player
fights.
- It is best for both players to fight separately until the first Executioner's
arrival at the 50th kill. Once the Executioner arrives, both players should
meet up in the middle area.
- Save the Executioner by fighting around him while in the middle area. Try to
save him until the 120th kill.
BOTH:
- Conserve flash grenades for Duvalias or any Cephalo spawn that is almost
guaranteed to ruin your combo without tossing the flash explosive.

MERCENARY REUNION CHARACTERS [CS00]
===============================================================================
The following is a list of all characters in The Mercenaries Reunion mode along
with a full analysis of each one based on my own playthroughs with each
character and some ideas from fellow friends that I have talked with.
Each character should be used differently depending on whether a player is
playing solo or duo mode. In solo mode, melee kills should be used often, but
take out a powered weapon and fire at the closest enemy if the combo is ever at
risk. The combo should take full priority over melee kills.
In Duo mode, players should limit themselves to weaker weapons in order to
obtain as many melee kills as possible. Each player will draw the attention of
the enemies so a player will not get surrounded as much in Duo mode. Limit the
use of a powerful weapon so that your character only uses one for bosses and to
keep the kill chain going. Melee kills are still a factor in obtaining a high
score in Reunion. Remember that each second left over after all enemies are
defeated will be worth 300 points per second.
----------------------------------------
Extra Melee Attacks in Duo Mercs Reunion
----------------------------------------
In Duo Mercs Reunion, some character match-ups will cause both characters'
melees to change to a new, more powerful melee attack.

No, this character is not a Gatling Gun Majini! This is Chris Redfield in
metal armor with a gatling gun! Think of him as a metal Tofu with a gatling
gun.
Heavy Metal Chris can easily be considered the most unique character out of the
full roster of characters in Mercenaries Reunion. He has several hidden
advantages in his armor and weapon arsenal that no other character possesses.
He comes equipped with a gatling gun that has an infinite supply of bullets and
a stun rod that can easily melee kill any type of enemy. This Chris type also
has special inventory armors that reduce the damage done by melee and
projectile attacks.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' INVENTORY
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| | Hand | |
| |Grenade (3)| |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|

|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| Melee | Proximity |Bulletproof|
| Vest | Bomb (3) | Vest |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
Heavy Metal Chris is the only character in Reunion that comes with inventory
items that cannot be discarded. Both his melee vest and bulletproof vest must
remain in his inventory at all times. They can be switched to different slots
but they will always be there to take up two slots in the player's inventory.
It's a small price to pay for two items that allow him to take less damage from
melee and projectile attacks however.
This Chris type requires no ammo, so all he really needs to collect are
explosive items and healing items. Heavy Metal Chris will definitely need
healing items if a player chooses to use his stun rod often. Even though he
takes less damage from attacks, he will most likely be hit often while trying
to hit a crowd from close range.
His explosives in his inventory work very well for bosses! Since his gatling
gun has trouble stunning a boss, laying down a proximity bomb in a boss' path
or tossing a hand grenade at a boss to stun it will definitely help out when a
boss enemy appears.
Chris walks very slow while his gatling gun is currently equipped, so a player
will want to switch to the stun rod or an exposive item to run faster while
moving with him. Both his gatling gun and his stun rod can be used to set up
melee kills so you'll be switching between them often.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' GATLING GUN
.-----------------------------.
| Gatling Gun |
|=============================|
| Firepower: 350 |
| Capacity: Infinite |
| Reload Speed: -- |
| Special: -- |
'-----------------------------'
Gatling Gun
-----------
Pros:
+ Infinite Ammo.
+ No need to reload.
Cons:
- Doesn't pack enough power to stun bosses quickly or kill them quickly.
- Has a slow start-up animation for firing due to the barrel rotation.
- Chris moves slower while this gun is equipped.
At first glance, the gatling gun seems just like a boss killer and nothing
more. It basically seems like a weapon that would ruin melee kills with its
power. That's not the case if you know how to use this gun though. The
gatling gun's rapid fire can easily mow down a crowd of normal enemies in
seconds. When the barrel of the gun starts to revolve, whatever is at the
other end of Chris' gatling gun is going to get spammed with a shower of
bullets as long as player continues to hold down the trigger button.
The gatling gun can actually be used to set up melee kills! It takes some good
timing but the feeling of setting up a melee kill is quite rewarding and the
novelty of actually using a gatling gun to stun an enemy for a melee kill is so
very epic! The gun can stun an enemy just like a machine gun but a player
needs to time the barrel rotation and the actual shots very well in order to
stun a normal Majini without killing it. Two shots at a Town or Base Majini or
one shot to a Wetland Majini will set it up for a kill from Chris' frontal leg
stun or head stun melees.
The main flaw of the gatling gun is its start-up animation due to the barrel
rotation and the fact that it can't stun some bosses very quickly at all. The
gatling gun is best used for long range or mid range kills since it needs a few
seconds to start up due to the barrel rotation prior to firing. Bosses such as
the Executioner need to be shot from long range or stunned with a hand grenade
or proximity in order to damage them easily with the gatling gun. It takes
quite a few shots in order to stun an Executioner with the gatling gun alone,
so a player should not use this weapon from close range when confronting a boss
unless the boss has been weakened severly and is close to death.
Chris will move slower than normal while carrying the gatling gun, so a player
will want to switch to his stun rod or any other weapon or item in order to
move faster while running with him. His gatling gun can actually be discarded
in order to remove his metal bullet backpack. There is really no reason to do
that unless you want to limit your firepower and only take on a stage with a
short range weapon and explosives however.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' STUN ROD
.-------------------------------------.
| Stun Rod |
|=====================================|
| Firepower: 350 |
| Capacity: -- |
| Reload Speed: -- |
| Special: x5 damage on plagas |
| cancels plagas spawns |
'-------------------------------------'
Stun Rod
--------
Pros:
+ Any kill with the stun rod counts as a melee kill.
+ Quick close range weapon.
+ No ammo or reloading required.
+ Highly effective against plagas enemies and actually prevents plagas spawns.
Cons:
- Lacks range (close range only).
- Slight hit detection problems with small enemies.
Chris delivers a quick shock for electrical damage with each swing of his
trusty stun rod. This short range weapon has the ability to stun an enemy and
set it up for melee just like gunfire. The stuns are still random based on
what portion of the enemy's body that a player hits. Every Majini type, takes
at least three hits to kill off with all stun rod attacks.
Any Majini that is killed with a stun rod strike will counts as a melee kill
and give a bonus of 5 seconds to a player just like a melee kill. Depending on
the range and the section of the body that a player is aiming for, the stun rod
can hit multiple times per strike. It's really best to walk up to a Majini and
aim downward then strike it with the stun rod. Chris stun rod will hit from
his left side first, so try to point his left side toward whatever enemy that
you're trying to attack.
His stun rod can be used in combination with his gatling gun. The gatling gun
can be used to weaken an enemy then the stun rod can be used to finish the
enemy off. There are quite a number of methods that can be used to weaken a
Majini before a final stun rod hit. Incendiary grenades will take just enough
damage from a Majini to where Chris can finish it off with a single stun rod
strike - use this on crowds to get in multiple kills with stun rod strikes
easily.
Since the stun rod deals electrical damage to an enemy, it can be used to
quickly defeat any parasitic enemies such as a Cephalo. Two stun rod strikes
will instantly kill a Cephalo for a melee kill. One stun rod strike will
weaken a Cephalo severly! Chris' stun rod will also prevent plagas spawn.
Scripted plagas Majini such as the Allyson on Public Assembly or the second
torch Majini on Ancient Ruins will not spawn a Cephalo when killed with the
stun rod!
Chris' stun rod can be used to melee kill enemies that cannot even be set up
for a melee. A player can strike a Bui Kichwa (spider enemy) in Village with
the stun rod and kill off the Bui Kichwa for a melee kill. Chris can even
melee kill a Duvalia with a stun rod attack to its mouth when it leans over!
Melee kills can be saved with the stun rod whenever any enemy has been weakened
to the point of death as well. So long as the final hit against an enemy is a
stun rod attack, that kill will count as a melee kill.
Chris' stun rod sometimes has hit detection problems on smaller enemies. With
Bui Kichwa enemies, a player must aim downward, and the hit with the stun rod
must be exact in order to hit the spider-like enemy. Sometimes the stun rod's
close range only attacks will make it hard to hit an enemy. If the enemy backs
up in the slightest, the stun rod strike may miss the enemy, so always be
prepared to run closer to an enemy after aiming to get a definite hit.
NOTE: A stun rod strike can stun a Reaper from close range much like an
electric round from the grenade launcher.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' METAL BACKPACK
Pros:
+ Protects Chris from some back attacks
+ Protects Chris from grabs to the back or sides
Cons:
- Blocks a player's view somewhat
Say what? A section for Chris' back pack!? Yes! Chris' metal backpack
deserves its own section under his listing because it is indeed a factor in
playing him. As long as Chris wears his metal back pack, he cannot be grabbed
from directly behind or to each of his sides by a Majini. A Majini must reach
out toward his front portion in order to grab him, otherwise a Majini will not
be able to reach him since his back pack will be in the way of itss arms!
Chris can also use his backpack to shield him from some melee attacks and
projectiles. Whenever a gatling gun Majini begins to fire its gatling gun,
Heavy Metal Chris can turn his back to the attacking gatling gun Majini and
walk so that his backpack fully covers him - he will be shielded from the
Gatling Gun Majini's gunfire with his metal backpack at that time.
Chris backpack will also shield him from thrown weapons and a few attacks that
hit the backpack first and not Chris. As long as the weapon makes contact with
Chris' metal backpack first, the attack will not harm him. The attack will hit
his metal backpack instead.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' HAND GRENADES
.---------------------.
| Hand Grenade |
|=====================|
| Direct Hit: 1,500 |
| Area Effect: 1,000 |
'---------------------'
Pros:
+ Can easily take down a group of normal Majini or stun a boss enemy.
+ Useful against Cephalos and Duvalias with direct hit.
Cons:
- Bouncing can sometimes mess up a precise direct hit.
It's a real good thing that Chris has both hand grenades and proximity bombs,
otherwise, bosses would be quite hard to stun quickly from close range with his
gatling gun along. Hand grenades should be used for distant stunning on a boss
enemy such as the Excutioner. Toss the hand grenade then fire the gatling gun
at a boss while it is stunned. Boss enemies such as the Giant Majini don't
need an explosive stun to finish them off.
Chris' hand grenades can also be used to knock down breakable walls with
explosions for quicker access to areas. The hand grenades can be tossed down
at enemies that lie below some high areas in order to maintain the combo as
well. When a Duvalia is spawning, if Chris doesn't have any flash grenades,
toss a hand grenade at the feet of the spawning Duvalia to finish it off with a
direct hit explosion while it spawns - this method is much quicker than waiting
through its invincibility animation of a spawn and then shooting it with the
gatling gun.
In solo mode, it's a good idea to use hand grenades in order to save the combo
from a distance. Thanks to the recoil and time consuming startup animation of
his gatling gun, tossing a hand grenade can be a bit faster and more exact when
trying to save a combo.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' PROXIMITY BOMBS
.---------------------.
| Proximity Bomb |
|=====================|
| Direct Hit: 1,500 |
| Area Effect: 1,000 |
'---------------------'
Pros:
+ The explosive can be placed on the ground and any enemy that triggers it will
be hit directly.
+ These can help to keep the kill chain while being placed on the run from a
group of enemies.
Cons:
- There is really no way to aim a proximity bomb at an enemy for precion. Hits
are all about timing and expectency.
Just like hand grenades, Chris can use these explosives to stun a boss.
Proximity bombs are better used for a boss that is moving along a narrow path
toward Chris or a boss that is expected to move along the path that the
proximity bomb is placed. These can work much better than hand grenades
against Reapers since Chris can place one then quickly run away as a Reaper
approaches then blast the Reaper in the chest as it turns from getting up to
kill it after a proximity bomb hit. These can also be used to quickly finish a
Duvalia after it spawns - just lay a proximity bomb in its path while running
away from it.
In solo mode, proximity bombs can also be used to save the combo. While
running away from enemies, place a proximity in their path in order to save the
combo while on the run. Some luck and good placement of the proximity bomb is
needed while attempting this however.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Chris can only perform these special leg stun melees in duo mode while paired
with a Barry or Rebecca partner.
Chris' straight and his uppercut now take off a bit more damage when compared
to regular Mercenaries. His straight punch will instantly kill any Majini that
has taken a headshot from his gatling gun or a head stun from his stun rod.
The stun rod + straight combination works excellent for crowds with Chris' wide
range for his straight attack. Both his uppercut and his hook can be used in
combination with his stun rod strikes to further damage a Majini as well.
His gatling gun can easily set up an uppercut melee kill with the damage it
deals. Two leg shots to a Town Majini or Base Majini will make it to where an
uppercut will finish them off. One shot to a Wetland Majini will allow Chris
to finish it off with an uppercut for a melee kill. Chris' stomp will easily
finish off any Majini that has taken damage from a gatling gun shot or a stun
rod hit with its 600 damage.
The stun rod by itself is considered a melee so a player can use the stun rod
to finish off any weakened enemy for a melee kill. Sometimes it is faster to
hit a grounded Majini with a stun rod rather than stomp it. For a group of
Majini, it is a lot better to hit them with a stun rod strike while they are
grounded rather then stomp them since the stun rod attack is much quicker.
The stun rod can work good against multiple Majini. Aim downard and strike the
stun rod at Majini to hit their legs and get a chance for a stun in order to
activate a melee. Chris starts swinging from his left, so try to line up a
targeted Majini with his left side before a swing to get a better chance at
hitting the Majini.
An incendiary grenade that hits a Majini will weaken it just enough to where a
stun rod strike will finish it off. Since Chris can attack with a stun rod
immediately after tossing an incendiary grenade, the stun rod can hit the
burning Majini as it flails or falls while on fire to kill it much quicker
rather than having to wait on it to be grounded for a stomp.
As usual, Chris' neck breaker will prevent plagas spawns, and, even though it
isn't an instant kill, a stun rod strike that kills a Majini will also prevent
a plagas spawn as well.
When Chris is paired with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode, he will gain
a new frontal leg stun and back leg stun melee. His uppercut melee will change
to the Rising Upper melee and his neck breaker will change to the Hammer Elbow
melee. Both of these melees take off some incredible damage. No prior damage
is even needed to kill the majority of Majini with either of these.
Chris' Rising Upper has a slower startup animation when compared to his
uppercut but it has some very good range. His Hammer Elbow is much quicker,
but lacks the range for multi melee kills most of the time. Neither of these
new melees will cancel a plagas spawn, so a player will need to use Chris' stun
rod in order to cancel a possible or scripted plagas when paired with a Rebecca
or Barry partner.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Heavy Metal
Chris.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** Gatling Gun shot/Stun Rod Attack --> Gatling Gun/Stun Rod leg stun -->
Uppercut
For all Town Majini and Base Majini, Chris must first shoot each of them with
at least two shots from the gatling gun before they can be killed off by an
Uppercut. Each shot or stun rod strike takes 350 damage and the uppercut takes
450, so two shots are needed for Town Majini with 800 life (Male Town Majini)
** Gatling Gun/Stun Rod leg stun --> Uppercut
(Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini, Dynamite Majini, Cocktail
Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini ONLY)
For all the Majini listed above, a single shot from the Gatling Gun to any
portion of its body followed by an uppercut will finish off each of them for a
melee kill.
** Gatling Gun leg trip --> Stomp
After any gatling gun shot or stun rod strike that grounds a Majini, rush
toward the Majini then stomp the Majini for a melee kill. If you miss the
stomp then quickly take out the stun rod and hit the Majini while it gets up.
** Gatling Gun/Stun Rod leg stun --> Neck Breaker
This melee combination will instantly kill ANY Majini and avoid any possible or
scripted plagas.
** Gatling Gun/Stun Rod leg stun --> Rising Upper
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
This will instantly kill off any normal Majini that gets hit by the Rising
Upper melee. It can easily set up multiple melees kills with its range.
** Gatling Gun/Stun Rod leg stun --> Hammer Elbow
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Much like the Rising Upper, this melee will instantly kill any normal Majini as
well without the need for prior damage. The Hammer Elbow is faster than the
Rising Upper, but it has shorter range for multi melee kills. It should be
noted that the Hammer Elbow will NOT cancel plagas spawns like a neck breaker.
A Heavy Metal Chris player will have to cancel possible plagas with the stun
rod instead of the neck breaker when playing with a Rebecca or Barry partner.
** Stun Rod attack x3
All normal male Town Majini will take at least 3 strikes from the stun rod to
finish off if they do not receive any prior damage. The stun rod by itself can
quickly kill a Majini if a Majini is trapped in a corner or pinned against a
wall. Aim Chris' left side toward a Majini that you want to hit since he hits
from that side first and he has greater reach from his left side.
There is no limit to what Heavy Metal Chris can melee kill with his stun rod.
He can even melee kill a Duvalia if the final attack against a Duvalia is with
the stun rod. The stun rod works very well for melee killing Bui Kickwa
enemies in Public Assembly and Village - just make sure to hit them before they
grab. All Bui Kickwa's only take one strike from the stun rod to kill.
He can also melee kill Cephalos very easily with the stun rod. Since the stun
rod takes x5 damage against plagas enemies, a Cephalo will be killed in two
strikes. There is a sort of trick to killing a Cephalo with a stun rod. If
one of them spawns in front of Chris right after an uppercut, quickly aim and
turn his left side to the Cephalo then swing to hit the Cephalo with the stun
rod. This usually makes it to where the Cephalo's top appendage will not hit
Chris. Quickly strike it twice with the stun rod to kill it off.
Keep in mind that a stun rod strike against a Majini will cancel any possible
or scripted plagas spawns from the Majini. Sometimes it is really best to hit
a fallen Majini with the stun rod to finish it off rather than stomp it with
the possibility of a plagas spawn.
** Stun Rod attack after two Gatling Gun shots
It's good to get yourself in a habit of equipping the stun rod directly after
trying to shoot a Majini once or twice for a leg stun. If the Majini fails to
give a leg stun, equip the stun rod while it staggers from the first or second
shot then run up to it and strike it with the stun rod to finish it off.
** Incendiary Grenade --> Stun Rod attack
Any normal Majini will be weak enough to be finished off by a stun rod attack
after being hit by an incendiary grenade. The best part about Heavy Metal
Chris is that he can hit them with the stun rod while they stagger or fall from
being burned. Toss an incendiary grenade at a crowd and dash toward them then
hit them all with stun rod attacks and you'll kill the whole crowd very
quickly!
** Stun Rod attacks --> Melees
While hitting a Majini with a stun rod, the stun rod attacks might activate a
stun. You'll have to keep a Majini's health in mind based on the current
Majini that you're fighting to take advantage of melees during stun rod
strikes.
Stun Rod head stun --> Straight
Stun Rod leg stun --> Neck Breaker
Stun Rod leg trip --> Stomp
Stun Rod strike --> Stun Rod leg stun --> Uppercut
Stun Rod strike --> Stun Rod arm stun --> Hook/Kick
Stun Rod arm stun --> Hook/Kick --> Stun Rod strike
** Straight punch --> Stomp
(Wetland Majini)
This combination is really good to know for Wetland Majini. As you know,
Wetland Majini will hop back up once knocked down if they do not receive enough
damage prior to the fall. A straight punch's 600 damage rate will make sure
that they stay grounded for a while, whether you hit one after a flash grenade
or hit one while melee killing another. Chris can follow up this fall with a
stomp OR he can leg stun a nearby Wetland Majini and uppercut it and the
grounded Majini.
** Gatling Gun shot (as Majini stumbles) --> Stomp / Stomp (Head Crush)
If a Majini begins to stumble from any type of action that Chris makes, he can
quickly shoot it once with the gatling gun before it falls completely then run
up to it and stomp it. The gatling gun shot must hit before the Majini hits
the ground completely or the shot will trigger its recovery animation. If a
Majini falls to the ground before you can shoot, rush to the head portion of
the Majini (move forward then quick turn) and then activate the stomp so that
Chris' foot hits the Majini's head for an instant kill head crush.
All of the above can be avoided through the use of Chris' stun rod however.
Since he can melee kill with any stun rod strike, all a player has to do is run
toward the fallen Majini then hit it with the stun rod. You could actually
stomp the Majini once to take off 600 damage then hit it with the stun rod
afterward to kill it. It really doesn't matter when you have a close range
weapon that can melee kill!
-------------------------
Big Man Majini Melee Kill
-------------------------
** Gatling Gun shots --> Straight
You really have to get the feel of this melee kill sequence and know the
timing. Aim at a Big Man Majini then shoot it in the legs. Your shots will
make it stand up and down. Once you think you've shot it enough, run up to it
and perform a straight punch while it kneels. If the straight doesn't kill,
take out the stun rod and hit the Big Man Majini and it should die eventually
for a melee kill.
------------------------
Multi Melee Combinations
------------------------
** Uppercut that hits standing and grounded Majini
If a Majini falls to the ground after being shot at least twice with the
gatling gun and that grounded Majini falls near a standing Majini, try to shoot
the standing Majini in the leg with the gatling gun for a leg stun then
uppercut the standing Majini so that Chris' uppercut hits the standing and
grounded Majini at the same time to kill both.
Chris' uppercut takes 450 damage and a normal Male Town Majini has 800 life, so
you'll usually have to shoot the Majini at least twice in order to kill it with
an uppercut.
** Stomp two grounded Majini at once
This is hard to plan at times, without the use of an uppercut, but if two
damaged Majini fall to the ground and a portion of one Majini lies over or
under the other, try to angle Chris stomp so that he hits both of them with his
foot. While facing a Majini's legs, Chris' foot will always stomp the body, so
if a Majini's foot lies over or under another grounded Majini body, stomp the
body of the Majini with the legs near it to hit them both.
You can also time an uppercut after a leg stun so that it hits a stunned Majini
and a Majini that is behind the stunned Majini to set them both up for a double
stomp.
** Gatling Gun leg stun --> Rising Upper to multiple Majini
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Since Chris' rising upper has good range and deals intense damage that can kill
most Majini prior to the melee, it can easily be used to set up multiple melee
kills if a player simply shoots the leg of a Majini to get a leg stun then
stands near the stunned Majini and waits for Majini to pile up near it before
performing the melee. This is much better used in narrow areas such as the
back alley in Public Assembly.
** Gatling Gun leg stun --> Hammer Elbow
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Just like the rising upper, the hammer elbow can easily gain multiple melee
kills with its intense damage since it needs no extra damage prior to the melee
to kill. The hammer elbow is quicker than the rising upper and lacks good
range so it's a bit harder to set up multiple Majini for this melee.
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the basic commands that a Chris player can issue
with the partner assist button followed by a direction. These can only be
performed in duo mode.
01) Tap assist button
02) Hold assist button + Right on the Directional Pad
Chris: "Come on!"
03) Hold assist button + Left on the Directional Pad
Chris: "Thanks!"
04) Hold assist button + Up on the Directional Pad
Chris: "Go!"
05) Hold assist button + Down on the Directional Pad
Chris: "Wait!"
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' PARTNER ASSIST COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the assist commands that a Chris player can
issue to a partner. Press the assist button to perform the following responses
during the action listed. These can only be performed in Duo mode.
01) When an enemy has grabbed Chris
Chris: "Help!"
"Help me out here!"
02) While Chris is in dying status
Chris: "Heeeelp me!"
"I'm not gonna' make it!"
03) When Chris runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY INVENTORY
WEAPON)
04) When a Chris player requests ammo from a partner
Chris: "I need ammo"
--> HEAVY METAL CHRIS' PARTNER RESPONSES
Listed below are the responses that a Chris player can trigger by pressing the
assist button during the following actions. In order to perform each one with
more accuracy, press and hold the assist button when you go to perform each
response. Holding the button for a few seconds will keep your character from
accidentally saying "Come on". If the response doesn't work the first time,
then press and hold the assist button again.
When it doesn't work the second time, that usually means either the time for a
response has elapsed, or the action was not counted as one that can be
responded to; every now and then responses will not activate when they should.
These can only be performed in duo mode.
01) Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun, magnum, or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical
headshot)
Chris: "Great shot!"
"Good work!"
"Nice work!"
02) Partner gives Chris an item
03) Partner heals Chris
04) Partner resuscitates Chris
05) Partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
Chris: "Thanks for the help."
"Much appreciated."
"Thanks."
06) Partner is in dying status
Chris: "I'm coming!"
"Hold on!"
07) Partner performs a request
08) Partner performs an action command
09) Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Chris: "Roger"
"Ok."
10) Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
11) Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
12) Partner melee attacks an enemy that Chris has knocked off the partner with
a partner assist melee attack.
Chris: "That'll work!"
"Good job!"
"Nice!"

Yeah, Capcom gave Sheva Midnight Wesker's magnum, STARS Chris' machine gun and
BSAA Chris' shotgun from normal Mercenaries along with a sexy new outfit
reminiscent of fairy tale. Fairy Tale Sheva is more like a BB Hood or Bulleta
when compared to Red Riding Hood though. Even though Sheva still has her slow
ground melee, the damage of two of her melees have been upgraded to make her
much more useful than she was in the original Mercenaries.
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S INVENTORY
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |

| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
Sheva comes jam-packed with a whole basket full of weapons in her inventory.
She carries the SIG 556 with an assortment of 100 bullets. She also has the
most powerful magnum in the game - the M500 magnum - with an additional 6
bullets. Much like BSAA Chris in regular RE5 Mercs, she also carries a
shotgun. Fairy Tale Sheva is almost like a STARS Wesker with the amount of
firepower she comes with. She really comes with too much, so a player might
want to consider discarding.
Her Ithaca shotgun can easily be discarded in favor of the M500 if a player can
handle the recoil and make precise shots from close range. Besides the M500,
all of her weapons are slightly more damaging than they were in normal RE5
Mercs in the hands of other characters.
Sheva also comes with 5 Golden Eggs. There is no reason to start collecting
healing items for her early in a run. Fairy Tale Sheva is about the only
character that can easily make it through a full run without the need of any
extra healing items since she starts with 5 full heals from the beginning!
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S SIG 556
.-------------------------------.
| SIG 556 (MG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 175 |
| Capacity: 80 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: -------------- |
'-------------------------------'
SIG 556
-------
Pros:
+ Good damage rate that matches her melees very well.
+ Decent capacity
Cons:
- Recoil can mess up precision aiming
Fairy Tale Sheva's SIG 556 machine gun matches her melees perfectly. The
machine gun takes off damage good enough to where all she has to do is hit a
Majini once or twice at the max then perform either her frontal leg stun or
head stun melee and finish it off. The machine gun comes with a higher
capacity than STARS Chris' machine gun in original RE Mercs, so Sheva won't
have to reload as often.
A player will have to put up with some slight recoil during rapid fire, which
can mess up precision aiming with the SIG. Short taps of the trigger can help
for precise shots but precision is pretty hard to maintain from long range
while holding down the trigger.
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S M500
.-----------------------------.
| M500 (MAG) |
|=============================|
| Firepower: 4000 |
| Capacity: 6 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: ------------ |
'-----------------------------'
H&K M500
--------
Pros:
+ Extreme damage
Cons:
- Heavy recoil
- Poor rate of fire
Fairy Tale Sheva's magnum is the most powerful magnum of any Mercs character in
Reunion. This gun can kill any boss enemy in just a few shots thanks to its
4000 damage rate. The only real flaw is the heavy recoil animation per shot
fired. The recoil makes it to where the rate of fire is very slow as well.
Sheva must tilt the gun upward after every shot in order to absorb the recoil.
This gun is highly effective against any enemy type that cannot be taken down
quickly with the SIG 556. Big Man Majini, Cephalos, Duvalias, Kipepeos and
Adjules all fall very quickly to the M500 magnum. Since a player will
constantly find magnum ammo from enemy drops, it's best to use the M500 over
Sheva's Ithaca shotgun.
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S ITHACA
.-----------------------------.
| Ithaca (SG) |
|=============================|
| Firepower: ? |
| Capacity: 25 |
| Reload Speed: ------------ |
| Special: ------------ |
'-----------------------------'
Ithaca
------
Pros:
+ Decent Damage
+ The spread of each shot covers a wide area in front of Sheva
+ Good pushback weapon for knocking enemies down
+ Sets up a melee kill for Cephalos.
Cons:
- Overall decent damage will not always save a combo in an intense situation
- The M500 takes off way more damage and is almost a guarantted kill on normal
enemies
Fairy Tale Sheva's shotgun is slightly more damaging than the Ithaca shotgun
that BSAA Chris carried in original RE5 Mercenaries, but the gun still isn't a
guaranteed kill on normal Majini if the full spread does not hit them and the
gun still has a rather poor firepower when compared to Sheva's magnum. A
player could easily discard this weapon in favor of the more highly damaging
M500 magnum.
The only real positive aspect of the Ithaca is that its spread and pushback
power can knock down an enemy such as a Cephalo instantly. If you're aiming is
good, why would you want to simply knock down a Cephalo, when you could easily
switch over to the M500 magnum and kill the Cephalo instantly with a shot to
any portion of its body? Well, there is one answer to that question though,
and that is to melee kill a Cephalo with Sheva's highly damaging ground melee.
Cephalo melee kills are about the only reason to keep the Ithaca. Even while
shooting and impaling the fallen Cephalo, however, the kill is not always
guaranteed because of the shotgun's spread.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Sheva can only perform this special ground melee in duo mode while
paired with a Josh or Excella partner.
If you're familiar with the melee damage from Sheva's melees in the original
RE5 Mercs then you'll notice a drastic increase in damage for her head stun and
frontal leg stun melees in Reunion. She now takes off just enough to kill any
normal Majini after two shots to any portion of the body with her SIG. If
Sheva would have had this type of damage rate in the original RE5 Mercenaries,
she would have been quite useful instead of a painful challenge to play.
Since her roundhouse and her somersault now take off nearly double what they
used to, any two shots prior to these melees will kill off any normal Majini
type. A single shot to the body followed by a shot to the leg for a leg stun
will set up a somersault melee kill. A single shot to the head followed by a
somersault will now kill off any weaker Majini such as females, dynamite,
Wetland (except Torch) and cocktail Majini in the Mines.
Her Throat Slit can still be used to cancel possible or scripted plagas
enemies. Shevan's ground melee is still very slow but it will kill off any
standard Majini that falls to the ground no mater if it is undamaged or not.
One needs to keep in mind that this ground melee will NOT kill off an undamaged
male Town Majini that happens to step into the blade as Sheva impales however
since she will be hitting the standing Majini's legs and only take off 800 -
10% damage when the Majini has a full 800 HP amount. Female Majini and other
weaker Majini will be killed by a standing impale however since they have less
than 800 HP.
Sheva's Double Fang melee will kill off just about any Majini that falls to the
ground. You have to keep in mind that this melee hits twice however, so any
Majini that steps into the slashes will get hit by one slash that causes 600
damage before the Majini staggers backward. It won't completely ruin a melee
kill like with Sheva's Impale, but it can still mess them up for her. Any
Majini that is already on the ground will be pinned down and receive both hits
automatically once the melee begins.
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Fairy Tale Sheva.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** SIG 556 shot --> SIG 556 leg stun --> Somersault
Notice how I don't define the first shot as a "body" or "leg" shot - because it
doesn't matter. Any two shots prior to a somersault will now kill off the
majority of Majini types.
** SIG 556 leg stun --> Somersault
(Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini, Dynamite Majini, Cocktail
Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini ONLY)
A single leg stun shot and a somersault performed on any of the Majini listed
above will kill them off instantly.
** SIG 556 head stun --> Roundhouse
(Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini, Dynamite Majini, Cocktail
Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini ONLY)
One head stun shot from the SIG 556 along with a roundhouse will instantly kill
off all Majini types listed above.
** SIG 556 leg stun --> Throat Slit
This combination will instantly kill ANY Majini and it will avoid any possible
or scripted plagas.
** Somersault --> Impale / Roundhouse --> Impale
(Wetland Majini)
Wetland Majini will get up after being knocked down if they do not receive
enough prior damage to fall. Sheva's somersault and roundhouse melees take off
enough damage to keep them grounded. This will set them up for an impale OR
another roundhouse or somersault on a Wetland Majini next to them - keep in
mind that both her somersault and roundhouse will hit grounded Majini.
** Impale on fallen Majini
Any normal Town, Base or Wetland Majini that falls and stays on the ground can
be impaled for a melee kill. The 800 damage from an impale is just enough to
kill off the majority of Majini types instantly without the need of any damage
prior to the fall. After a Majini has grabbed Sheva and she knocks it off, a
player can turn toward that fallen Majini and impale it for an instant melee
kill.
** Double Fang on a fallen Majini
(with a Josh or Excella partner in duo mode only)
While paired up with a Josh or Excella partner in duo mode, Sheva's impale
ground melee becomes the double fang ground melee. This melee hits with two
attacks that cause 600 damage each for a total of 1200 damage. This ground
melee is a bit shorter than the impale and takes more damage overall. Sadly,
if a Majini walks into the melee it will likely only get hit with one slash,
which will send it staggering back, only damaged by 600 and have a change at
wasting a melee kill.
------------------
Cephalo Melee Kill
------------------
** Ithaca blast --> Impale/Double Fang
This melee kill combination can be kind of risky. Even though Sheva's impale
takes off 800 damage, the shotgun blast might not have weakened the Majini
enough for it to die to the impale. Only try this combination in duo mode
since Sheva's long recovery animation from the impale can easily cost a player
the full combo in solo mode. The double fang melee in duo mode has a much
greater chance at killing a Cephalo with its 1200 damage.
In solo mode, it's really best to just blast the Cephalo with the M500 and make
sure it dies regardless of melee...
------------------------
Multi Melee Combinations
------------------------
** Somersault that hits standing and grounded Majini/Roundhouse that hits
standing and grounded Majini
If Sheva can knock a Majini to the ground and make sure that it has been shot
twice, she can set a nearby Majini up for a somersault or roundhouse melee then
somersault or roundhouse both the standing and grounded Majini at the same time
for a double melee kill.
She can also perform a somersault to a group of Majini to knock them down then
perform another somersault or a roundhouse to a Majini that stands near the
group of fallen damaged Majini to multi melee kill the grounded Majini. Since
Sheva's somersault and roundhouse melees now take off 600 damage, she can truly
be a beast for multi melee killing in a tight area!
** Impale or Double Fang that hits multiple Majini
Just like with Chris' stomp, Sheva can impale or Double Fang two Majini that
have been knocked to the ground and are on top of each other in some way. If a
weakened Majini or "weaker" Majini (female, etc.) happens to move into the
blade while Sheva performs the impale then it will die from the impale melee
attack.
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the basic commands that a Sheva player can issue
with the partner assist button followed by a direction. These can only be
performed in duo mode.
01) Tap assist button
02) Hold assist button + Right on the Directional Pad
Sheva: "Come on!"
03) Hold assist button + Left on the Directional Pad
Sheva: "Thanks!"
04) Hold assist button + Up on the Directional Pad
Sheva: "Go!"
05) Hold assist button + Down on the Directional Pad
Sheva: "Wait!"
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S PARTNER ASSIST COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the assist commands that a Sheva player can
issue to a partner. Press the assist button to perform the following responses
during the action listed. These can only be performed in Duo mode.
01) When an enemy has grabbed Sheva
Sheva: "I need your help!"
"Help me!"
02) While Sheva is in dying status
Sheva: "I need heeeelp!"
"Help!"
03) When Sheva runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY INVENTORY
WEAPON)
04) When a Sheva player requests ammo from a partner
Sheva: "I need ammo"
--> FAIRY TALE SHEVA'S PARTNER RESPONSES
Listed below are the responses that a Sheva player can trigger by pressing the
assist button during the following actions. In order to perform each one with
more accuracy, press and hold the assist button when you go to perform each
response. Holding the button for a few seconds will keep your character from
accidentally saying "Come on". If the response doesn't work the first time,
then press and hold the assist button again.
When it doesn't work the second time, that usually means either the time for a
response has elapsed, or the action was not counted as one that can be
responded to; every now and then responses will not activate when they should.
These can only be performed in duo mode.
01) Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun, magnum, or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical
headshot)
Sheva: "Nice shot!"
"Good work!"
"Nice work!"
02) Partner gives Sheva an item
03) Partner heals Sheva
04) Partner resuscitates Sheva
05) Partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
Sheva: "Thanks partner."
"I owe you one."
"Thanks."
06) Partner is in dying status
Sheva: "I'm coming!"
"Hold on!"
07) Partner performs a request
08) Partner performs an action command
09) Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Sheva: "Roger"
"Ok."
10) Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
11) Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
12) Partner melee attacks an enemy that Sheva has knocked off the partner with
a partner assist melee attack.
Sheva: "Nice teamwork!"
"That's good!"
"Excellent!"
"Chobenbeznaz!"

Delta team's Captain Josh Stone is probably one of the biggest beasts of a
character in Mercenaries Reunion if a player realizes his effectiveness. His
ground melee is highly damaging and can get multiple melee kills much like Jill
Valentine's Double Knee Drop in the original RE5 Mercenaries. His handgun
carries max capacity, his shotgun has an incredible range and... this man
carries a rocket launcher!
--> JOSH'S INVENTORY
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |

'-----------------------------------'
What? Only 10 ammo for our handgun!? Well, take a look at the capacity first
of all. Josh comes supplied with enough handgun bullets to take down about
half of any stage's normal Majini if melee kills are used along with each shot!
It's still a good idea to collect handgun ammo along the way, but Josh won't
really be needing it for a while.
His shotgun has a capacity of 7 and he only brings 10 shotgun ammo to the
battle with him, so you'll need to start grabbing ammo for it early since he
has one of the most useful shotguns in the game. We'll get to that later.
Josh carries three hand grenades along with him. These can be used to break
open cracked walls in a stage or tossed at the Reaper to weaken it severly.
Would you look at that? My man, has a rocket launcher as well. This rocket
launcher will instantly kill a boss, so always save it for one of the stage
bosses!
--> JOSH'S M92F HANDGUN
.-------------------------------.
| M92F (HG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 250 |
| Capacity: 100 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: -------------- |
'-------------------------------'
M92F
----
Pros:
+ Extremely high capacity! Josh will not need to reload for quite a while.
+ The handgun's light damage can help to set up Josh's powerful melees rather
well and give him a chance for more.
+ Unlike BSAA Chris' and BSAA Sheva's M92F in the original Mercs, Josh doesn't
have to worry about a high critical rate.
Cons:
- The damage is overall weak which can be bad for setting up Josh's frontal leg
stun melee.
With a 100 capacity, a player will not need to reload Josh's M92F handgun for
quite a while. Sure, you should still collect handgun ammo, but there is
really no need to reload after each shot - unless you're some kind of Mercs
whore that used to play original Mercs everday and try for 900K and 700K on
various Mercs duo and solo stages respectively and were constantly worried
about having to sit through a reload animation.
Thankfully Josh's M92F does not carry the same high critical percentage that
BSAA Chris' and BSAA Sheva's handgun carried in original Mercenaries. His
handgun only gets a critical headshot sometimes just like any standard handgun.
Josh can easily get a head stun on any type of Majini then perform his hammer
blow melee and kill it off the majority of the time.
The handgun's weak damage allows Josh multiple attempts at all of his melees.
Really the only flaw with his handgun is the fact that it will take at least
two shots to damage a Majini enough to kill it with Josh's power kick melee,
but that can be easily excused when the rest of his melees pack so much power.
--> JOSH'S M3 SHOTGUN
.---------------------------------.
| M3 (SG) |
|=================================|
| Firepower: ? |
| Capacity: 7 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: -- |
'---------------------------------'
M3
--
Pros:
+ Incredible damage for a shotgun!
+ The high damage makes the range far greater than any other shotgun.
Cons:
- Lower capacity than many other shotguns and Josh doesn't start with much ammo
for his shotgun.
The sheer damage of Josh's shotgun is simply amazing. Josh's M3 can basically
be thought of as a magnum. Usually it can be quite hard to take on a boss with
only a shotgun. In Josh's case, he can mutilate a boss in just a few shots
with his M3. Cephalos will fall easily with a single shot from close or even
mid-range with this shotgun.
Josh's M3 damage is so great that it makes its attack range seem greater than
it actually is. If a player fires at any normal Majini and ANY portion of the
spread hits that Majini, that Majini will die. If a player is halway across
Public Assembly and fires at a Majini on the other side and hits that Majini
with any portion of the shotgun's spread, that Majini will die!
The M3 can be a really good combo saver and it's really just as much of a boss
killer as any magnum. If Safari Chris would have had this much power behind
his M3 in normal Mercs, he would have really had been the ultimate boss killer!
--> JOSH'S ROCKET LAUNCHER
.---------------------------------.
| Rocket Launcher |
|=================================|
| Firepower: 30,000 |
| Capacity: 1 |
| Reload Speed: -- |
| Special: -- |
'---------------------------------'
Rocket Launcher
---------------
Pros:
+ 1 hit kill to anything basically.
+ Its spread can kill multiple enemies.
Cons:
- Only holds one rocket.
- Josh only has one rocket launcher!
- A player can accidentally get knocked into dying status from using this
weapon on close range enemies.
Josh comes equipped with one rocket launcher from the start of each run. A
player should save this rocket launcher for one of the stage's bosses - most
likely the last boss. This weapon can be used to kill a boss as the 150th
enemy very easily and increase the score for a stage dramatically! The rocket
launcher is an instant kill to just about any enemy. The only enemy that can
sometimes survive this weapon is a Red Executioner if the Red Executioner only
happens to get hit by the long range portion of the spread.
The damage of the explosive spread of a rocket launcher can be just as damaging
as a direct hit, so a player can easily defeat a group of enemies including a
few bosses by simply aiming down at the surrounding ground and firing a rocket
directly at the ground. This can easily defeat normal enemies and multiple
bosses with one shot all while they surround a player. For the three bosses
that appear at one time on Ship Deck, the rocket launcher is basically a
necessity!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Immediate Rocket Launcher Blast While Aiming With Another Weapon
----------------------------------------------------------------
Command: Aim with a weapon such as a handgun then immediately equip the rocket
launcher through the quick select D-pad command assigned to the rocket launcher
then fire immediately.
Normally Josh has to stand and lean over a bit then place the rocket launcher
on the shoulder shortly before aiming, but with the method mentioned above the
rocket launcher blast is instant. You're actually aiming with the first weapon
then quickly equipping the rocket launcher and firing instantly at whatever
target your character was aiming at.
Here's a more detailed description on how to perform this technique:
1) Set up the rocket launcher to where it can be quickly equipped with a D-pad
press (Up, Down, Left, Right) by placing it in the Up, Down, Left or Right
slots in the inventory menu
2) Aim with a weapon such as a handgun. Whatever you aim at is going to hit
with the rocket.
3) While still aiming with the handgun, press the D-pad direction that the
rocket launcher is assigned to then immediately fire.
This method is most useful for when an enemy is close to your character and you
don't have time to go through the full aiming animation of the rocket launcher.
Just aim with a handgun then immediately equip the rocket launcher then fire to
avoid having the enemy get too close to where the rocket blast might hit your
character.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Josh can only perform this special head stun melee in duo mode while
paired with a Barry or Sheva partner.
Josh really has one thing going for him with the majority of his main melees.
He's got power! His Hammer Blow packs just enough power to enable him to
finish just about any Majini with a simple headshot from his M92F handgun. His
hammer blow is his main melee kill setup overall. A player can play Josh just
like BSAA Chris and perform one M92F shot to the chest followed by a M92F leg
stun then hit the Majini with a power kick.
His most useful melee is his ground melee. Much like Jill's Double Knee drop
in the orignal Mercs mode, Josh can easily set up multi melee kills by luring a
Majini toward a fallen Majini then elbow drop them both. He has some really
good range with this melee also! Any Majini that comes into contact with his
body will be instantly finished off by his elbow drop. The melee takes off at
least around 1000 damage, so it will finish any normal Majini no matter what
portion of the body they are hit from.
His arm stun melees are also quite damaging as well. If a player can get an
arm stun on a Majini that is near a weaker Majini (female, bowgun, etc.), the
player can rush behind the stunned Majini and perform Josh's iron tackle melee
and kill both the stunned and weaker Majini. This melee has some really good
range too - Josh rushes forward when he performs this.
The melee that Josh performs to save a partner will instantly kill off any
normal Majini that it hits. Basically, a player can get multiple melee kills
from saving a grabbed partner!
--> JOSH'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Josh.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** M92F head stun --> Hammer Blow
Unlike BSAA Chris in normal Mercs, Josh's handgun does not have a high critical
rate, so he can take advantage of a head stun followed by a melee. An M92F
head stun and a Hammer Blow will finish off all normal Majini (Town, Wetland
and Base) for a melee kill. His hammber blow has some good range, so it can
easily hit multiple Majini and set them up for an elbow drop.
** M92F head stun --> Maximum Straight
(with a Sheva or Barry partner in duo mode only)
When paired with a Sheva or Barry partner in duo, Josh's hammer blow changes to
the maximum straight melee. The maximum straight is much more powerful than
the standard hammer blow even though it resembles the melee somewhat. The
maximum straight takes more time to perform, but if it hits multiple Majini
then it will kill just about any Majini without the need for prior damage.
** M92F leg stun --> Suplex
Josh's suplex is always a 100% critical on any Majini type. It will cancel any
scripted or possible plagas, so always try to perform this melee kill setup
when a plagas is expected to spawn from a certain Majini.
** M92F arm stun --> Iron Tackle
(KILLS Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini, Dynamite Majini, Cocktail
Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini without the need for prior damage)
For an arm stun melee, Josh's iron tackle melee is incredibly damaging. On
weaker Majini types such as Wetland Majini and the other listed above, there is
no need for prior damage for this melee to kill. Josh can basically shoot a
Majini in the arm for an arm stun then perform his iron tackle and get multiple
melee kills for the types of Majini listed above since the damage rate of the
melee is greater than their HP amount.
With the majority of Town and Base Majini, Josh will need to shoot a Majini at
least once before performing his iron tackle melee in order to achieve a kill.
A player can still set up multiple melees with his iron tack on Town and Base
Majini, but a single M92F shot to all targets must be achieved before the iron
tackle will kill most of the time.
** Partner Assist Melee (after a partner is grabbed)
Josh's Partner Assist Melee takes off some tremendous damage and will kill any
Majini that he hits. This melee can be used to gain multiple melee kills on
surrounding Majini that happen to stand in the way of a grabbed partner.
------------------
Cephalo Melee Kill
------------------
** M3 blast (from long/mid-range) --> Elbow Drop
Since Josh's M3 takes off so much damage, a player must make sure to be at a
distance or at least aim downward while shooting a Cephalo to make sure that
the blast does not kill. Once the Cephalo falls, Josh can most likely finish
it off with an elbow drop.
------------------------
Multi Melee Combinations
------------------------
** Elbow Drop that hits multiple Majini
Since Josh's Elbow Drop takes off so much damage, a player can ground a
standing Majini with a shot to the legs then stand over that Majini and wait
for another Majini to attempt an attack then perform his elbow drop to kill off
both the grounded and standing Majini. The elbow drop is damaging enough to
kill off the majority of all Majini types without the need of prior damage.
--> JOSH'S BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the basic commands that a Josh player can issue
with the partner assist button followed by a direction. These can only be
performed in duo mode.
01) Tap assist button
02) Hold assist button + Right on the Directional Pad
Josh: "Come on!"
03) Hold assist button + Left on the Directional Pad
Josh: "Thanks!"
04) Hold assist button + Up on the Directional Pad
Josh: "Go!"
05) Hold assist button + Down on the Directional Pad
Josh: "Wait!"
--> JOSH'S PARTNER ASSIST COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the assist commands that a Josh player can issue
to a partner. Press the assist button to perform the following responses
during the action listed. These can only be performed in Duo mode.
01) When an enemy has grabbed Josh
Josh: "Help!"
"A little help!"
02) While Josh is in dying status
Josh: "Heeeelp me!"
"I'm huring over here!"
03) When Josh runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY INVENTORY

assist button during the following actions. In order to perform each one with
more accuracy, press and hold the assist button when you go to perform each
response. Holding the button for a few seconds will keep your character from
accidentally saying "Come on". If the response doesn't work the first time,
then press and hold the assist button again.
When it doesn't work the second time, that usually means either the time for a
response has elapsed, or the action was not counted as one that can be
responded to; every now and then responses will not activate when they should.
These can only be performed in duo mode.
01) Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner

Josh: "I'm comin'!"
"Hold on!"
07) Partner performs a request
08) Partner performs an action command
09) Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Josh: "Understood"
"Ok."
10) Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
11) Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
12) Partner melee attacks an enemy that Josh has knocked off the partner with
a partner assist melee attack.
Josh: "That'll work!"

Excella can easily be considered one of the best of the Mercenaries Reunion
characters because of one reason - she carries a grenade launcher loaded with
12 flash rounds. Plagas spawns can happen without warning at certain points of
Reunion stages and Excella can instantly take out her grenade launcher and kill
any plagas that dares to try to break the current kill combo. Her grenade
launcher also allows her to stun bosses and save them for later into the combo,
which is a clever technique for gaining a higher score since bosses are worth
more points later in the combo.

Excelle comes prepared to deal with any situation in Mercenaries Reunion. It's
such a crime that she comes with a grenade launcher loaded with 12 flash
rounds. She's fully prepared to deal with the two most annoying factors of
scoring high in Reunion - keeping the combo (instantly killing a spawning
plagas that can break a combo) and making sure that a boss lives until later in
the combo (stunning the boss with flash rounds and melee killing around it).
Her M93R handgun is extremely powerful. You can think of this weapon as her
magnum. It fires 3 burst fire shots that can be toned down to one by tapping
the trigger. She brings along 50 handgun ammo which can be used up in the
blink of an eye. Make sure to constantly collect handgun ammo for her!
Her AK-74 is decent and can be used to set up a quick stun for a melee kill if
a player accidentally hits the wrong portion of a Majini's body with the M93R.
It can also be used to set up Excella's cross slap while with a Sheva or
Rebecca partner in duo mode. A player needs to keep this weapon. Don't
discard it in favor of the M93R. Excella will likely run out of ammo if a
player carries only her M9R.
To top off her assortment of useful weapons, she also carries a first aid
spray... as if she needs one!
--> EXCELLA'S M93R HANDGUN
M92F
----
Pros:
+ High damage
+ Effective boss killer
Cons:
- High damage can mess up melee kill combinations
- Need of instant stun power against bosses (like a magnum)
.-------------------------------.
| M93R (HG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 400 |
| Capacity: 30 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: 3 shot burst |
'-------------------------------'
Excella packs a lot of firepower behind her handgun mainly because of its
intense damage mixed with the fact that it fires a 3-shot burst if the fire
button is held down. This gun is basically like a magnum when all three shots
are fired at once. One 3-shot burst fire hits for 1200 damage on any foe. The
fact that she can spam 3 shots very quickly means that she can take down a boss
pretty quickly with this weapon.
The M93R is also Excella's main weapon that can be used to set up melee kills
on normal Majini. A single shot to a Majini's head for a head stun followed by
her high heel melee attack will instantly finish off any normal Majini. Her
M93R also makes a good combo saver for when the combo is at risk. Basically, a
player can just spam her three shot burst fire on any nearby Majini and kill it
in two shots.
Excella will be using this weapon a bunch and a player will likely run out of
ammo quickly since this gun basically takes priority over her AK. It's very
wise not to discard her AK in place of her M93R though. She doesn't always
receive handgun ammo at a steady rate and you might find yourself out of ammo
completely if you choose to discard her AK.
The damage that this gun deals can be just as much of a flaw as it can be
useful. Since the gun takes so much damage from a normal Majini, a player will
really only have one chance to get a head stun on most Majini. If a player
misses the head and hits the body of a Majini, the next shot to any portion of
the body after that will kill.
--> EXCELLA'S AK-74 MACHINE GUN
.-------------------------------.
| AK-74 (MG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 220 |
| Capacity: 50 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: ? |
'-------------------------------'
AK-74
-----
Pros:
+ Sets up melees with little damage prior to the stun
+ Can save a melee kill from a missed M93R head stun
+ Very useful for her special arm stun melee in duo with a Sheva/Rebecca
partner
Cons:
- Minimal damage doesn't set her quicker melees that well
Excella's AK actually has a good damage rate for a machine gun, but it doesn't
really set up her quicker melees that well at all. The AK can be used to save
a melee kill when a M93R shot misses a Majini's head and hits another portion
of its body. Melee kills are not really worth the time and effort to switch to
the AK in Reunion like they would be in normal Mercs though.
Her AK weapon really only shines when Excella is teamed up with a Sheva or
Rebecca partner. Her new frontal arm stun melee (Cross Slap) is highly
damaging and a player will have several chances to set up an arm stun with the
light damage of her AK when compared to the high damage of her M93R.
Her AK can be used to set her humilation and first aid melee easily, but these
melees take quite a bit of time and are not worth the effort most of the time.
--> EXCELLA'S GRENADE LAUNCHER
Grenade Launcher
----------------
Pros:
+ Comes equipped with the absolute best type of ammo for Reunion stages (flash
rounds)
+ Flash rounds can save melee kills
+ Possibilty of other useful ammo types such as nitro rounds
Cons:
- Having a grenade launcher limits the possibility of handgun ammo drops (since
you're getting so many different types of grenade launcher ammo at times)

'----------------------------------------------------------------'
Excella's grenade launcher starts with 12 flash rounds already inside the
chamber. Her starting ammo type is really the best type of ammo to have for a
grenade launcher in Mercenaries Reunion. Stages are plagued with scripted
plagas enemies that will ruin your combo with their spawnings from Majini and
this ammo will instantly kill off any plagas enemies that spawn with a single
shot.
Excella can also gain nitrogen rounds, which will instantly freeze normal
Majini and set them up for her high heel melee. A nitrogen round freeze will
cancel any possible plagas spawn, so melee kill killing with a high heel after
a nitro freeze will never result in a plagas. Nitrogen rounds can be used to
build time, but Excella can't easily hit multiple enemies with her high heel
like Chris or Sheva could with their head stun melees in the original
Mercenaries mode. Nitrogen rounds are most useful for Excella in canceling
possible plagas from Majini overall.
Explosive rounds can actually be useful in Reunion for keeping the combo. One
explosive round blast will kill any normal Majini, so explosive rounds can be
used for a quick combo saver in place of Excella's M93R handgun.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Excella can only perform this special arm stun melee in duo mode while
paired with a Sheva or Rebecca partner.
Excella carries a much different variety of melees when compared to other
character types. Her main melee that a player will want to use for melee
killing is her high heel melee. After a single head stun from her M93R,
Excella can kill off the majority of Majini with a high heel for a melee kill.
Her AK can be used to easily set up either of her leg stun melees. Excella's
melees take off so much damage that only a bit of prior damage is needed before
the actual melee to kill. Both her frontal leg stun and back leg stun melees
will cancel a plagas spawn. Take off enough damage to where these melees will
kill (first aid always kills) prior to the melee and a scripted plagas Majini
will die instantly without a plagas spawn.
Excella's normal arm stun melees are completely useless thanks to the low
damage that they deliver. When paired with a Sheva or Rebecca partner, her
frontal arm stun melee turns into the "Cross Slap" melee. This melee takes off
only 500 damage, but it has a 100% critical rate on standard Majini, so it will
basically always kill a normal Majini unless the Majini spawns a plagas from
the cross slap. Her cross slap can easily gain multiple melee kills on a group
as well without the need for prior damage!
Excella's heel stomp ground melee hits twice and takes around 600 damage per
hit - the actual stomp takes damage then the foot grind takes more damage.
Since her ground melee is so damaging, she can instantly finish off the
majority of Majini types that happen to fall to the ground without taking prior
damage.
--> EXCELLA'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Excella.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** M93R head stun --> High Heel
Shoot a Majini one time in the head to get a head stun then rush up to the
Majini and hit it with Excella's high heel for a melee kill on just about any
Majini type. Make sure to only tap the trigger to avoid the 3 shot burst fire
when shooting a Majini. Excella's M93R takes so much damage that a player can
only follow up with a second shot aimed at the leg for a possible leg stun in
order to melee kill the damaged Majini. A body shot after a previous body shot
or head shot will kill most Majini.
Excella can also take advantage of her weaker AK when a M93R headshot is missed
and hits another portion of a Majini's body. Her AK only takes off 220 damage
from a Majini, so she can have another chance at a possible head stun if a
player switches to the AK and fires at a damaged Majini's head after a M93R
shot. In a way, attempting for a melee a second time, isn't always worth it in
Reunion since time isn't worth as much point value at the end.
** M93R/AK leg stun --> Humiliation
Humiliation appears to be an instant kill melee, but it isn't. Keep in mind
that the Humiliation melee takes 750 damage, so some form of prior damage is
needed. This knowledge is mainly needed for Torch Majin on Ancient Ruins that
have around 1000 HP.
The full melee animation is quite long, but this melee will cancel a plagas
spawn as long as the melee kills the Majini. Damage the second torch Majini on
Ancient Ruins enough to where this melee will kill it and that torch Majini
will not spawn its scripted Cephalo.
** M93R/AK leg stun --> First Aid
Excella's first aid melee is an instant kill and has quite a lengthy animation.
Much like the Humiliation melee, it will cancel any scripted plagas. This
melee is like laying down a proximity bomb with a timer. Excella gives the
Majini a shot of the Uroboros virus and it causes the Majini's body to swell up
and explode. The explosion will instantly kill or damage any enemy that is
within its blast radius. It has quite a bit of a blast radius also!
The first aid melee is mainly useful for solo mode. The timed explosion is set
to go off right when a combo chain starts to blink if no prior kill is made.
Basically, an Excella player can perform her first aid melee as a crowd
approaches then run ahead and make some distance while the swelling Majini body
prepares to blow up and kill off approaching Majini (and save the combo). This
has to be timed well and a bit of luck is involved. In duo mode, this melee
basically just ruins melee kills if it explodes near a group of Majini. It CAN
be used to keep the combo in duo also, but a combo is easier to keep with a
partner, which limits this melee's potential in duo mode.
** AK arm stun --> Cross Slap
(ONLY when paired with a Rebecca or Josh partner in duo mode)
This melee gives much usage to Excella's AK. Excella's light damaging AK can
be used to gain an arm stun on any Majini type in order to set up Excella's
highly critical cross slap melee. Her cross slap melee can easily gain
multiple kills with its range and the fact that no prior damage is need to kill
a Majini with the melee (because of its 100% critical rate). Since an arm stun
is random it's highly advised that player uses the AK to set up the arm stun
instead of the highly damaging M93R.
** Heel Stomp
No prior damage is needed in order for this melee to kill. It can be set up
with the AK or M93R so long as the Majini hits the grounds. The melee has two
animations that actually damage. The actual stomp damages the Majini first of
all then the foot grind damages the Majini once again. If a Majini happens to
walk into Excella's foot, it will likely only get hit by one portion of this
melee and might only bounce back as if hit by an arm stun melee.
** M93R shot to body or head --> Flash round stun --> High Heel
Since Excella's M93R takes off 400 damage and her high heel melee takes off 400
damage as well, a player can quickly shoot surrounding Majini in the body or
head then stun them all with a flash round then high heel kill all of the
Majini that were damaged. This is a really nice melee kill setup for a crowd.
--> EXCELLA'S BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the basic commands that a Excella player can
issue with the partner assist button followed by a direction. These can only
be performed in duo mode.
01) Tap assist button
02) Hold assist button + Right on the Directional Pad
Excella: "Come On!"
03) Hold assist button + Left on the Directional Pad
Excella: "Don't expect any thanks!"
04) Hold assist button + Up on the Directional Pad
Excella: "Go!"
05) Hold assist button + Down on the Directional Pad
Excella: "Wait!"
--> EXCELLA'S PARTNER ASSIST COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the assist commands that a Excella player can
issue to a partner. Press the assist button to perform the following responses
during the action listed. These can only be performed in Duo mode.
01) When an enemy has grabbed Excella
Excella: "Help!"
"Help me out here!"
02) While Excella is in dying status
Excella: "Heeeelp me!"
"I'm not gonna' make it!"
03) When Excella runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY INVENTORY
WEAPON)
04) When a Excella player requests ammo from a partner
Excella: "I need some of your ammo"
--> EXCELLA'S PARTNER RESPONSES
Listed below are the responses that a Excella player can trigger by pressing
the assist button during the following actions. In order to perform each one
with more accuracy, press and hold the assist button when you go to perform
each response. Holding the button for a few seconds will keep your character
from accidentally saying "Come on". If the response doesn't work the first
time, then press and hold the assist button again.
When it doesn't work the second time, that usually means either the time for a
response has elapsed, or the action was not counted as one that can be
responded to; every now and then responses will not activate when they should.
These can only be performed in duo mode.
01) Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun, magnum, or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical
headshot)
Excella: "Bravo!"
"Good work!"
"Nice work!"
02) Partner gives Excella an item
03) Partner heals Excella
04) Partner resuscitates Excella
05) Partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
Excella: "Don't expect any thanks."
"I suppose I should thank you."
*Giggle*
06) Partner is in dying status
Excella: "Enough whining!"
"I'll be there when I'm ready!"
07) Partner performs a request
08) Partner performs an action command
09) Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Excella: "Very well."
"Understood."
10) Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
11) Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
12) Partner melee attacks an enemy that Excella has knocked off the partner
with a partner assist melee attack.
Excella: "Nice technique!"
"You're good!"
"Nice!"

I used to constantly joke to friends about Safari Chris being a Chris
(Midnight) in the original Mercs. He couldn't always kill after a headshot
followed by a straight however. Warrior Chris is about the closest variation
to a Midnight Chris as Capcom will give us - he makes up for the shortcomings
that Safari Chris had.
Warrior Chris even has Midnight Wesker's P8 handgun with the same stats that
Wesker had in the original Mercs mode. He borrows the Hydra from STARS Wesker,
though STARS Wesker's Hydra is still supreme in attack range and attack power.
His hair is slick back like Wesker and he has the attitude of a badass.
I can now officially say that there is a Chris (Midnight)!
--> WARRIOR CHRIS' INVENTORY

'-----------------------------------'
Warrior Chris begins with a P8 handgun and a total of 55 bullets if you add up
the bullets in his chamber along with the starting ammo in his inventory. He
also packs in a Hydra shotgun. Chris' Hydra holds 10 shells unlike the 6
shells that STARS Wesker's Hydra held in normal Mercenaries. He has 15 shotgun
shells extra from the start. Warrior Chris also starts with a PSG-1 rifle. It
has a starting capacity of 15 with no extra ammo.
A player will most likely want to start hording ammo from the start while using
Warrior Chris. His power weapon is mainly going to be his Hydra, so collecting
ammo for it from the beginning in solo runs is almost essential with the
widespread of plagas in some stages. His PSG-1 rifle will most likely only be
used for distant shots on far away enemies and distant combo saving shots, so
collecting ammo for it is not really of that much concern. A player may
actually want to discard his rifle to get the chance of having more handgun and
shotgun ammo.
Warrior Chris goes through shotgun ammo like a sifter on some stages since his
shotgun isn't always powerful enough to take down some enemies from close range
and it still can't hold that much ammo when compared to some of the other
shotguns.
--> WARRIOR CHRIS' P8 HANDGUN
.--------------------------------.
| P8 (HG) |
|================================|
| Firepower: 300 |
| Capacity: 25 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Level 3 Piercing |
'--------------------------------'
P8
--
Pros:
+ Light damage gives multiple headshot attempts
+ Piercing bullets can shoot through shield and help set up multi melee kills
+ Can easily set up an uppercut melee on weaker Majini with one leg stun
without the need of prior damage
Cons:
- Doesn't work well to set up an Uppercut melee on Town and Base Majini
Chris' P8 handgun is almost exactly like Midnight Wesker's handgun from the
original Mercenaries mode. It deals the same amount of damage to an enemy and
it has a piercing effect. The only slight change is a higher capacity of 25
bullets.
This handgun allows Chris to gain multiple head stuns on a single Majini
because of its light damage. Chris' straight punch melee now takes off 600
damage from enemies so he can finish off any normal Majini with a straight
punch after a headshot or any type of shot from the P8 handgun. A player can
set up multiple melee kills easily with his handgun's piercing. While Majini
are grouped, shoot a Majini in the body so that the shot pierces through the
first Majini and hits a Majini behind it. Shoot the first Majini in the head
for a head stun then straight punch it so that the straight hits the front and
back Majini to kill them both with a melee.
Because of the handguns' piercing, Chris has no problem dealing with Majini
that have wooden shields since his bullets will travel right through the
shield. Chris has a major advantage against Wetland Majini because of his
handgun's damage mixed with his uppercut melee's new damage rate. Chris can
easily shoot a Wetland Majini in the leg to gain a leg stun then uppercut the
Wetland Majini and finish it off with only one shot's worth of prior damage
before the uppercut.
--> WARRIOR CHRIS' HYDRA
.---------------------------------.
| Hydra (SG) |
|=================================|
| Firepower: ?? |
| Capacity: 10 |
| Reload Speed: ? |
| Special: ? |
'---------------------------------'
Hydra
-----
Pros:
+ High damage rate from close range
+ Good boss killer overall
Cons:
- Even with its high damage it can't stun bosses quickly
- Overall, not as powerful as STARS Wesker's Hydra from original Mercs
Dear god, Capcom gave Chris the Hydra shotgun! The Hydra shotgun is still a
real powerful shotgun just like STARS Wesker's Hydra in the original Mercs
mode, but Warrior Chris' Hydra is not as powerful as Wesker's shotgun from a
distance. A shot has to hit point blank from close range in order to take off
maximum damage with Warrior Chris' Hydra.
The lack of distant power makes the Hydra useful for setting up Cephalo and Big
Man Majini melee kills, but overall, Chris' Hydra is kind of risky when it
comes to saving the combo. Just shooting a normal Majini from a distance is
not going to be a guaranteed kill like it used to be the majority of the time
with STARS Wesker.
Even though the gun lacks distance power, the Hydra is still very powerful from
close range as long as the full blast hits. It lacks stunning power just like
STARS Wesker's Hydra when confronting the Executioner boss and Warrior Chris
has no high-powered handgun or magnum to stun the Executioner boss with, so its
wise to run behind an Executioner and shoot him from the back while he tries to
turn. The gun will stun after the second shot from close range and it still
takes off quite a bit - basically killing a Public Assembly Executioner in
three shots at least (possibly two from extreme close range).
--> WARRIOR CHRIS' PSG-1 RIFLE
.-------------------------------.
| PSG-1 (RIF) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 1200 |
| Capacity: 15 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Level 8 Scope |
'-------------------------------'
Pros:
+ Good long distance damage for saving a combo
+ Maximum zoom for the scope
Cons:
- Takes a while to aim with the scope
The PSG-1 rifle is best used for distance shots while playing as Warrior Chris
in Mercs Reunion. It takes some good damage from long range and will kill just
about any Majini with one shot to any portion of the body. Since enemies lie
in wait in high areas throughout some Reunion stages such as Missile Area, the
rifle can make a good weapon for disposing of these camping enemies.
The rifle can also make a good combo saving weapon for when a kill needs to be
made quickly in order to save a combo. Remember that Chris will have to aim
and you'll need to quickly adjust your scope over an enemy before each shot
however, unlike the Hydra's instant blast. The PSG-1 is more of a guaranteed
kill on distant Majini unlike the Hydra with its lower attack range however.
The only problem with using a PSG-1 for combo saving is the possibility of a
plagas spawns. The PSG-1 will likely not be enough to finish a Cephalo in time
if the combo is at risk.
The PSG-1 is really not good for bosses at all. It can be used to kill off
bigger normal enemies such as Big Man Majini or distant Cephalos in about three
shots, but overall, the Hydra still reigns supreme for dealing damage to a boss
enemy.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Chris can only perform these special leg stun melees in duo mode while paired
with a Barry or Rebecca partner.
Chris' straight punch melee has received a heavy increase in damage ever since
the original Mercs mode. A single headshot with his P8 handgun (or a shot to
any portion of the body) followed by a straight punch will kill any normal
Majini. His uppercut melee only takes off just a bit more damage than it used
to (450 now compared to 400) so at least two shots of prior damage are needed
for Majini such as most Town and Base Majini. For weaker Majini such as female
Town Majini or Wetland Majini, Chris can kill them all with an uppercut after a
single shot to the leg.
Chris' stomp damage still remains the same and just about every other melee
remains unchanged from normal RE5 Mercs. His neck breaker melee can still be
used to cancel possible or scripted plagas spawns from a Majini in order to
avoid the plagas.
When Chris is paired with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode, he will gain
a new frontal leg stun and back leg stun melee. His uppercut melee will change
to the Rising Upper melee and his neck breaker will change to the Hammer Elbow
melee. Both of these melees take off some incredible damage. No prior damage
is even needed to kill the majority of Majini with either of these.
Chris' Rising Upper has a slower startup animation when compared to his
uppercut but it has some very good range. His Hammer Elbow is much quicker,
but lacks the range for multi melee kills most of the time. Neither of these
new melees will cancel a plagas spawn, so a player will not be able to cancel a
possible or scripted plagas when paired with a Rebecca or Barry partner while
using Warrior Chris. Not being able to cancel plagas can be a major flaw for
Warrior Chris in stages such as Missile Area where a certain region (the middle
region) will spawn Cephalos more often than others.
--> WARRIOR CHRIS' MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Warrior.
--------------------
Town and Base Majini
--------------------
** P8 head stun --> Straight
Much like Midnight Weskers headshot + Cobra Strike in standard Mercenaries,
Chris can now kill the majority of Majini with a headshot followed by a
Straight punch. Unlike Safari Chris, the side that the Straight hits from
doesn't matter - since the Straight takes off 600 damage and the headshot takes
300 + 20%, this combination will kill any normal Town or Base Majini. The only
exceptions are the Agitator Majini and Allyson on Public Assembly along with
Torch Majini on Ancient Ruins.
Thanks to the P8 handgun only taking 300 damage, Chris can shoot a Majini twice
in the head and not kill off the Majini with either shot just like Midnight
Wesker could do in normal RE5 Mercenaries.
** P8 leg stun --> Uppercut
(Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini, Dynamite Majini, Cocktail
Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini ONLY)
The Majini types listed above are weak enough to be killed by a P8 leg stun
shot followed by an uppercut. The leg stun is random so it might not activate
on the first shot. Thankfully, Chris can shoot the Majini in the leg once
again for another chance.
** P8 leg stun --> Neck Breaker
This melee combination will instantly kill ANY Majini and avoid any possible or
scripted plagas.
** P8 leg stun --> Rising Upper
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
This will instantly kill off any normal Majini that gets hit by the Rising
Upper melee. It can easily set up multiple melees kills with its range.
** P8 leg stun --> Hammer Elbow
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Much like the Rising Upper, this melee will instantly kill any normal Majini as
well without the need for prior damage. The Hammer Elbow is faster than the
Rising Upper, but it has shorter range for multi melee kills. It should be
noted that the Hammer Elbow will NOT cancel plagas spawns like a neck breaker.
** P8 shot to head or body --> Flash Grenade --> Straight
This combination is much like Excella's high heel after a M93R shot except
you'll need to find a flash grenade in order to perform it obviously. Since
Chris' handgun and straight are greater than a standard Majini's HP when used
together, he can fire one shot at every Majini in a crowd and possibly use the
handgun's piercing in the process, then toss a flash grenade and hit each
Majini with a straight punch in order to melee kill it.
------------------
Cephalo Melee Kill
------------------
** Hydra shot --> Stomp
Perform a Hydra shot from mid-range from a Cephalo then run up and stomp it
while it is on the ground for a possible melee kill. It's really best to
attempt to kill the Cephalo from close range and then run up and stomp it if it
doesn't die from a close range blast however. Having a Cephalo live through a
stomp takes more time than a possible melee kill on it is worth in solo mode.
In duo mode, a Cephalo melee kill will help a bit more since both players are
building time.
-------------------------
Big Man Majini Melee Kill
-------------------------
** Hydra Shot --> Uppercut
Perform a Hydra shot from mid-range then run up to the Big Man Majini as it
blocks and perform Chris' uppercut melee for a possible melee kill. Much like
the Cephalo melee kill, it's best to fire off the shot from close range and
only attempt an uppercut if the Big Man Majini survives the blast. A close
range leg blast will help to increase the chances of having the Big Man Majini
live through the blast and have just enough HP left for the uppercut to finish
it off.
** Hydra Shot --> Rising Upper
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Perform a Hydra shot from mid-range to long range and then run up to the Big
Man Majini as it blocks and perform Chris' rising upper for a possible melee
kill. This will work about 90% of the time. Chris' rising upper melee takes
so much damage that a Big Man Majini will likely not be able to survive even
with only a slight bit of damage lost from a Hydra spread shot. Chris players
that are paired with a Rebecca or Barry partner should definitely try for this
melee kill since it works the majority of the time.
------------------------
Multi Melee Combinations
------------------------
** Piercing shot that hits multiple Majini --> Straight
Since Chris' handgun can easily pierce through a Majini and hit another Majini
behind it, he can take advantage of this and shoot through a Majini's body to
hit the one behind it then shoot the front Majini in the head and straight
punch the Majini in front and the one behind it and kill both in the process
since a handgun shot to the chest and a straight punch are greater than the
standard Majini's HP amount.
** Uppercut that hits standing and grounded Majini
If a Majini falls to the ground after being shot at least twice with the P8
handgun and that grounded Majini falls near a standing Majini, try to shoot the
standing Majini in the leg with the P8 handgun for a leg stun then uppercut the
standing Majini so that Chris' uppercut hits the standing and grounded Majini
at the same time to kill both.
Chris' uppercut takes 450 damage and a normal Male Town Majini has 800 life, so
you'll usually have to shoot the Majini at least twice in order to kill it with
an uppercut. Weaker Majini such as female and Wetland Majini can be killed
with an uppercut after one shot however.
** Stomp two grounded Majini at once
This is hard to plan at times, without the use of an uppercut, but if two
damaged Majini fall to the ground and a portion of one Majini lies over or
under the other, try to angle Chris stomp so that he hits both of them with his
foot. While facing a Majini's legs, Chris' foot will always stomp the body, so
if a Majini's foot lies over or under another grounded Majini body, stomp the
body of the Majini with the legs near it to hit them both.
You can also time an uppercut after a leg stun so that it hits a stunned Majini
and a Majini that is behind the stunned Majini to set them both up for a double
stomp.
** P8 leg stun --> Rising Upper to multiple Majini
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Since Chris' rising upper has good range and deals intense damage that can kill
most Majini prior to the melee, it can easily be used to set up multiple melee
kills if a player simply shoots the leg of a Majini to get a leg stun then
stands near the stunned Majini and waits for Majini to pile up near it before
performing the melee. This is much better used in narrow areas such as the
back alley in Public Assembly.
** P8 leg stun --> Hammer Elbow
(with a Rebecca or Barry partner in duo mode only)
Just like the rising upper, the hammer elbow can easily gain multiple melee
kills with its intense damage since it needs no extra damage prior to the melee
to kill. The hammer elbow is quicker than the rising upper and lacks good
range so it's a bit harder to set up multiple Majini for this melee.

Since I consider Warrior Chris a Chris (Midnight), then Business Sheva is
definitely a Sheva (Midnight). Business Sheva comes equipped with a highly
damaging handgun and magnum. This setup makes her a really good character that
can be hard to use but ultimate when mastered. Her handgun will kill any
normal Majini in two shots, but if a player's aiming is precise, she can be a
real beast with her roundhouse melee that hits with such a wide range. She can
really show the Majini that she means business if used properly.

'-----------------------------------'
Sheva comes equipped with Safari Chris' handgun from the original Mercs mode.
Her handgun capacity is kind of low so she will definitely be needing the 50
extra handgun bullets that she comes equipped with. Her L. Hawk magnum has a
low capacity as well, but she brings along 12 magnum bullets which will
definitely help out for bosses.
She brings along 5 Proximity Bombs. A player would usually want to discard
them to save inventory space since they will ruin melee kills, but these can be
used to keep the combo going in both solo and duo modes so it's a good idea to
keep them. Business Sheva also starts with a first aid spray. As if she
needed one with such a good inventory already!
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S SIG P226
.-------------------------------.
| SIG P226 (HG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 480 |
| Capacity: 16 |
| Reload Speed: 1.62 sec. |
| Special: -------------- |
'-------------------------------'
SIG P226
--------
Pros:
+ This gun packs some real power that can set up Sheva's main melees for a kill
in one shot
+ The gun takes so much damage, it can actually be used to keep a combo going
when a quick kill needs to be made instead of having to switch to the magnum
Cons
- The gun leaves no room for error when trying to melee kill normal Majini
- Small capacity overall compared to other handguns
Business Sheva's handgun really packs power and makes a loud racket per shot to
signify its dominance in damage among the Reunion handguns. Sheva's SIG P226
is the most damaging handgun in any Mercs mode. This can be both good and bad.
Precision must be maintained when using Business Sheva. There is no room for
error when setting up a head stun melee for a melee kill. If a normal Majini
is hit twice with this handgun in any portion of its body then it will die!
One headshot is all that is needed in order to set a Majini up for a roundhouse
or somersault melee kill. Business Sheva can even kill weaker Majini (Wetland,
female Town, etc.) with a single arm stun followed by a twist kick or knee.
The high damage rate per shot can be both good and bad depending on your
precision and how you melee kill with Sheva. She can easily set up multiple
Majini for a kill with a somersault just by shooting them and then head
stunning one in a crowd then perform a roundhouse on the stunned Majini and hit
the whole crowd in the process. Since her handgun takes much damage, she can
simply shoot a Majini in the legs or the chest and still kill it off with a
roundhouse or somersault.
Her handgun can actually be used to keep the combo going during a situation
where the combo is about to be lost since it is so damaging. The only true
flaw besides the arguable damage is the fact that this gun has a rather low
capacity when compared to other handguns in Mercs Reunion.
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S L. HAWK MAGNUM
.-------------------------------.
| L. Hawk (MAG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 2900 |
| Capacity: 8 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: -------------- |
'-------------------------------'
Pros:
+ Overall good damage for a magnum
+ Quick rate of fire
Cons:
- Still not as damaging as the M500 magnum
The L. Hawk doesn't take off as much damage as Fairy Tale Sheva's M500 Magnum
but a magnum that has such a good rate of fire as the L. Hawk and takes off
over half of what the M500 takes with much less recoil makes for a very nice
powered weapon for boss killing. This gun can finish off all bosses very
quickly within a few shots and it can help Sheva set up melee kills on a boss
if the shots are aimed at certain areas of each boss.
The L. Hawk has a really good rate of fire than be used to spam damage on
enemies and the reloading is very quick for a magnum weapon, even though you'll
likely still want to inventory reload like with all weapons. The weapon's
damage allows Sheva to shoot bigger enemies in a stronger area of their body to
minimize damage just enough to where she can finish them off with a melee for a
melee kill.
The L. Hawk magnum is a good weapon to use against any type of plagas enemy
also. Cephalos fall with one shot to the body while trying to defeat them with
this weapon. Duvalias take the usual shot to stun then shot to the mouth
however.
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S PROXIMITY BOMBS
.---------------------.
| Proximity Bomb |
|=====================|
| Direct Hit: 1,500 |
| Area Effect: 1,000 |
'---------------------'
Pros:
+ The explosive can be placed on the ground and any enemy that triggers it will
be hit directly
+ These can help to keep the kill chain while being placed on the run from a
group of enemies
Cons:
- There is really no way to aim a proximity bomb at an enemy for precion - hits
are all about timing and expectency
Proximity Bombs should mainly be used for keeping the combo while Sheva moves
to some other location for the most part. Since Business Sheva has a magnum
there is no need to use a proximity bomb for a boss. They might come in handy
for Duvalias, but Cephalos can be easily defeated with her magnum. In duo
mode, a player may actually want to discard these unless they might be needed
for some obscure locations where enemies might follow you as your character
races to some other portion of the map.
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S MELEE ATTACKS
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Melee Command | Type of Melee | Damage | Special |
|==============================================================|==============|
| Roundhouse | Head Stun Melee | 600 | Possible |
| | | | critical |
| Twist Kick | Arm Stun Melee (front) | 250 | N/A |
| Knee | Arm Stun Melee (back) | 250 | N/A |

| Double Fang | * Special Ground Melee | 600 x2 | N/A |
| Skull Crusher | Tag Team Melee (front) | 3,000 | Cancels |

| Spinning Back Kick | Tag Team Melee (back) | 3,000 | Cancels |

| Somersault | Counter Melee on Licker Beta | 600 | Sets up stab |
| | | | melee on |
| | | | Licker |
| Stab | Ground Melee on Licker Beta | 900 | |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Sheva can only perform this special ground melee in duo mode while
paired with a Josh or Excella partner.
Sheva's damage with her main melees (head stun and frontal leg stun) have been
greatly improved in Reunion. She can gain multiple melee kills so very easily
with her roundhouse and somerault now. Since both melees take off 600 damage
each, a single shot from the SIG P226 to any portion of the body will guarantee
a kill after a normal Majini is hit from these melees in any way.
Be sure to keep in mind that both her somersault and her roundhouse will hit
grounded enemies. Her main melee kill setup gives great advantage to multiple
melee kills just like with Fairy Tale Sheva. Sheva's somersault is easily one
of her fastest melees and the fact that her roundhouse and somersault can hit
grounded enemies can truly make Business Sheva a beast in the hands of an
experienced player that cleverly uses her gun to weaken Majini surrounding a
Majini that she is about to kill off with with either melee - basically, a
player and weaken multiple Majini with chest shots then stun a Majini with a
shot to the head and roundhouse the whole crowd to kill them off, standing or
grounded.
Sheva's ground melee still takes off 800 damage and will kill just about any
normal Majini without the need of prior damage. If a Majini happens to hit the
ground at any time, Sheva can run up to it and perform her impale ground melee
for an instant melee kill on most Majini.
Her throat slit melee can be used to cancel possible or scripted plagas
enemies. The damage rate of her handgun can go against Sheva when trying to
set up a throat slit however. If you try to get a leg stun on a scripted
Duvalia on Ancient Ruins then the leg stun shot will make the Duvalia spawn
because of the power of the SIG P226.
Sheva's Double Fang melee will kill off just about any Majini that falls to the
ground. You have to keep in mind that this melee hits twice however, so any
Majini that steps into the slashes will get hit by one slash that causes 600
damage before the Majini staggers backward. The Double Fang will ruin any
melee kill on a Majini that is hit while it is standing since Sheva's handgun
is so damaging to attempt a stun afterward, so only a flash grenade/round can
be used to save the melee kill basically (stun the Majini then run up and
somersault it). Any Majini that is already on the ground will be pinned down
and receive both hits from the Double Fang automatically once the melee begins.
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Business Sheva.
-----------------------------
Town, Base and Wetland Majini
-----------------------------
** SIG P226 head stun --> Roundhouse
A single head stun shot from the SIG P226 followed by a Roundhouse is enough to
finish off any normal Majini. Sheva takes off over 1000 damage with this full
melee kill setup. The main problem with this melee kill setup is that a player
cannot afford to miss the headshot (and hit another portion of the body) and
then expect to try for a stun on another portion of the Majini's body. Sheva
Business does not work that way. She requires precise aiming at all times in
order to melee kill with her effectively, which can make her a challenge to
play.
Since her handgun takes off so much damage, a Majini can be shot in any portion
of its body to set it up for a melee kill from Sheva's roundhouse or
somersault. Basically if a Majini has already received damage from a shot,
then try to stun a Majini that is nearby and work both of them into Sheva's
head stun or leg stun melee.
** SIG P226 leg stun --> Somersault
With the randomness of a leg stun, a somersault is a bad melee to attempt to
set up with the SIG P226. After one attempt at a leg stun, the next shot will
kill off a normal Majini if the first shot to a Majini's legs fails to give a
leg stun animation. Don't even try to set up a somerault melee with Sheva
unless a Majini wears a mask or your fighting the Base Majini with their bad
hit detection on Experimental Facility.
If a Majini wears a mask or carries a shield, shooting it in the legs is about
your only option. Thankfully, shield Majini will always give a player a leg
stun after shooting their legs though.
** SIG P226 leg stun --> Throat Slit
This combination will instantly kill ANY Majini and it will avoid any possible
or scripted plagas.
** Impale on grounded Majini
Just like with other Sheva types, Sheva's Impale ground melee will kill off
just about any type of Majini with one hit no matter if it has received damage
from a knockdown or not. After a Majini has grabbed Sheva and she knocks it
off, a player can turn toward that fallen Majini and impale it for an instant
melee kill.
** Double Fang on a fallen Majini
(with a Josh or Excella partner in duo mode only)
While paired up with a Josh or Excella partner in duo mode, Sheva's impale
ground melee becomes the double fang ground melee. This melee hits with two
attacks that cause 600 damage each for a total of 1200 damage. This ground
melee is a bit shorter than the impale and takes more damage overall. Sadly,
if a Majini walks into the melee it will likely only get hit with one slash,
which will send it staggering back, only damaged by 600 and basically a waste
of a melee kill by then unless you a spare flash grenade to stun it.
** SIG P226 shot to any portion of the body --> Flash Grenade --> Roundhouse
Much like with Excella and Warrior Chris, Business Sheva can shoot multiple
Majini with her SIG P226 handgun in any portion of the body then quickly toss a
flash grenade to set up a head stun then kill all the damaged Majini off with a
roundhouse. Thanks to her roundhouse's range, she can easily hit multiple
Majini that stand together for multiple roundhouse melee kills.
------------------------
Multi Melee Combinations
------------------------
** Somersault that hits standing and grounded Majini/Roundhouse that hits
standing and grounded Majini
If Sheva can knock a Majini to the ground and make sure that it has been shot
twice, she can set a nearby Majini up for a somersault or roundhouse melee then
somersault or roundhouse both the standing and grounded Majini at the same time
for a double melee kill.
She can also perform a somersault to a group of Majini to knock them down then
perform another somersault or a roundhouse to a Majini that stands near the
group of fallen damaged Majini to multi melee kill the grounded Majini. Since
Sheva's somersault and roundhouse melees now take off 600 damage, she can truly
be a beast for multi melee killing in a tight area!
** Roundhouse multiple weakened Majini
Since Business Sheva's handgun takes off so much damage, she can shoot Majini
that surround a certain undamaged Majini and then shoot the unweakened Majini
in the head then perform a roundhouse on the stunned Majini so that is hits the
weakened Majini in the process. This can work very well in tight areas or when
Majini gather near a wall.
Keep in mind that even if a Majini falls, Sheva can still hit that grounded
Majini with a roundhouse that is performed to a standing Majini. Her
roundhouse hits surrounding grounded enemies too, which really increases her
chance for multiple melee kills!
** Impale that hits multiple Majini
Just like with Chris' stomp, Sheva can impale two Majini that have been knocked
to the ground and are on top of each other in some way. If a weakened Majini
or "weaker" Majini (female, etc.) happens to move into the blade while Sheva
performs the impale then it will die from the impale melee attack.
--> BUSINESS SHEVA'S BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS

Come on, Come oooon! Here's Barry! I have THIS! Alright, I think we have all
the popular Barry phrases out of the way, and I'm sure as hell not going to
mention that damn overused sandwich line that is associated with Jill. Barry
is easily one of the most useful characters in Mercs Reunion. He has a handgun
that sets up his main melee rather well. His handgun is powerful, but not
powerful enough to limit his melee killing. Mr. Burton also has a very
damaging magnum with a good rate of fire.

Barry comes equipped with the Samurai Edge handgun that STARS Wesker had from
the original Mercs mode. He bring along 50 extra handgun bullets even though
he already has a capacity of 30 in the handgun from the start, so he basically
starts with 80 handgun bullets altogether. Besides the increase in damage, his
M29 magnum is just like the one used by STARS Chris in the original Mercs mode.
He has a starting capacity of 12 and brings along 6 extra magnum bullets.
Barry carries a Dragunov SVD rifle as well with no extra ammo, which is really
nice if you choose to discard this weapon. The Dragunov can be used to shoot
distant enemies or simply keep the combo going from a distance. It's more
valuable in some stage than others. In some stages, you can literally just
discard the weapon in favor of more handgun and magnum ammo drops.
--> BARRY'S SAMURAI EDGE HANDGUN
.-------------------------------.
| Samura Edge (HG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 350 |
| Capacity: 30 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Piercing |
'-------------------------------'
Pros:
+ Decent damage that allows Barry to get multiple stuns on a Majini
+ Good capacity for a handgun
Cons:
- The gun requires two shots to set up Barry's frontal leg stun melee kill
combination on ANY Majini
Barry comes equipped with the famed Samurai Edge handgun. This gun was custom
made at Robert Kendo's gun shop back in Raccoon City before the zombie outbreak
that destroyed the population... so that make it one badass weapon! Barry's
handgun deals some good damage overall - not too much and not too little.
His handgun sets up his main headbutt head stun melee with ease. Because of
his handgun's power, he needs to be played much like a STARS Wesker from the
original Mercs. Two headshots will kill a standard Town Majini, so if a player
misses a headshot and hits another portion of the body then the Barry player
will have to try to get a leg or arm stun in order to melee kill the Majini
since another headshot will likely finish off the Majini.
In order to set up his frontal leg stun melee, a player must first weaken a
Majini with a shot by shooting it once on any portion of its body then the
player must try for a leg stun. Sadly, the third hit kills. It's best to only
try for a leg stun when a head shot cannot be gained or when a shot
accidentally misses the head and hits another portion of the body.
Unlike STARS Wesker's Samurai Edge, Barry's handgun can pierce through shields
or multiple enemies, so he won't have a problem with Wetland Majini that carry
shields!
--> BARRY'S S&W M29 MAGNUM
.---------------------------------.
| S&W M29 (MAG) |
|=================================|
| Firepower: 3100 |
| Capacity: 12 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Level 4 Piercing |
'---------------------------------'
Pros:
+ High firepower
+ Great rate of fire (arguably the fastest for a magnum)
+ High capacity for a magnum
Cons:
- Still not as powerful as the M500 (this flaw can really be ignored with such
a good rate of fire though)
STARS Chris in the original Mercs mode had a low damaging M29 magnum (2100
damage) with a capacity of 12, but Barry has THIS new M29 magnum with the same
capacity and a higher damage rate (3100 damage). Barry's magnum only deals
1000 less damage when compared to Fairy Tale Sheva's M500 and it has a faster
rate of fire with very little recoil. A player can easily spam damage on a
bigger enemy with the quick rate of fire from the M29.
Barry's M29 magnum works perfectly for boss kills and even setting up boss
melee kills when shooting different portions of a boss' body. It's high, but
not extreme, damage can easily set up bigger enemies, such as the Big Man
Majini, for a melee kill as well.
--> BARRY'S DRAGUNOV SVD RIFLE
.---------------------------------.
| Dragunov SVD (RIF) |
|=================================|
| Firepower: 1100 |
| Capacity: 18 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Level 4 Piercing |
'---------------------------------'
Pros:
+ Long distance weapon for distant enemies
+ Good combo saver from long range
Cons:
- Overall weak damage
- Not all stages really need a rifle
BSAA Sheva has to use her Dragunov rifle as her main source of power for
disposing of bosses in the orignal Mercs mode, but Barry has a clear advantage
over a simple rifle with his more damaging magnum. The Dragunow can be used to
shoot enemies that are at a distance or it can be used as a quick combo saving
weapon for a far away enemy.
Really, a Barry player can easily discard his rifle on most stages in favor of
more handgun and magnum ammo. The rifle is really only useful on a few stages
such as Missle Area for enemies that like to camp on high platform. In solo
mode, the rifle can be useful for a quick combo saver as well. The zoom
function is only normal with no high-powered zoom, so Barry won't be able to
tell if a pool of blood has a Chris body lying near it from a great distance -
he will have to get closer to investigate/taste the blood.

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Barry can only perform this special arm stun melee in duo mode while paired
with a Chris or Rebecca partner.
Barry has quite an assortment of low damaging melees mixed with extremely
powerful melees. His headbutt melee has the ability to cancel a plagas spawn
in a Majini yet setting up the melee will risk a critical and increase the
chance for a plagas spawn on certain Majini.
His headbutt appears to kill instantly but that's because it has such a high
critical rate. The headbutt melee will result in a critical head explosion on
a Majini most of the time, but it does not always critical and when it doesn't,
it won't kill because of its low damage. If his headbutt does not kill, a
player can rush up to the stunned Majini and perform another headbutt while it
is stunned to finish it off.
Barry appears to have no real flaw with such good overall weapons but his main
flaw lies in the fact that he cannot achieve a multi melee kill on a group of
enemies that easily. His head stun melee is a single kill melee only and the
majority of his other melees have limited range and they are not very damaging.
His ground melee and back leg stun melee are about the only ways to multi melee
kill with him. His gun bash has some good overall range and it criticals 100%
of the time so it is a slow yet effective way to kill off multiple Majini
instantly if a player can work two Majini together. His ground melee, Miranda
Rights, takes off some very intense damge and will kill any Majini without the
need for prior damage but trying to multi melee kill with it is like trying to
multi melee kill with Chris' stomp (it lacks range).
--> BARRY'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300
points per second!
Exceptions to melee kills with Town, Base and Wetland Majini:
- Female Majini, explosive arrow Majini and shield Majini all have less life
than other normal Town and Wetland Majini so they will die within less
shots than what I have listed.
- The Rocket Launcher Majini will always perform a "lean backward" sort of
stun after being shot a few times. This counts as a leg stun, so rush
behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Barry.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** Samurai Edge head stun --> Headbutt
Since Barry's Samurai Edge takes off 350 damage per hit and a head shot
increases that by 20% a Heabutt melee, which takes off 400 damage after a
headshot will immediately kill any normal Majini regardless of whether it is a
critical or not. The headbut melee will also cancel any plagas spawns so Barry
will never get a Cephalo or Duvlia or any other type of plagas after finishing
off a Majini with a headbutt. The only flaw with this melee combination is
that the headshot for setting it up can be a critical which will increase the
chance of a plagas spawn from certain Majini (very few).
** Samuai Edge shot --> Samurai Edge leg stun --> Burton Boot
This melee kill combination is good to know for when you accidentally shoot
another portion of a Majini's body instead of the head when trying to go for
Barry's headbutt melee kill. Basically, you'll just need to shoot the Majini
in the leg and hope for a leg stun then follow it up with a Burton Boot melee.
A player can shoot the arm of a Majini for an arm stun and perform Barry's
Barry Sandwich or Knee instead of trying for a leg stun, but the Samurai Edge
shot will take off more when shooting a Majini in the arm so you might run the
risk of finishing off weaker Majini with a body/arm shot.
** Samurai Edge leg stun --> Gun Bash
A gun bash will always critical a Majini 100% of the time regardless of the
type of Majini and any Majini that gets caught in the way of Barry's gun bash
will get criticaled as well. The melee has the exact same range as Chris'
Hammer Elbow melee. Even though this is a leg stun melee from behind, it will
NOT cancel a plagas spawn in a Majini. If a player hits a scripted Cephalo
enemy with this melee then the Cephalo will spawn right after the gun bash.
** Flash Grenade --> Headbutt
Barry can actually gain melee kills from headbutting an enemy without any prior
damage because of the melee's high critical percentage. A headbutt will
critical about 90% of the time. A simple flash grenade toss in the midst of a
crowd will set all of them up for Barry's headbutt. Sadly, his headbut is a
single kill move only so he can only defeat one Majini at a time. On the good
side, Barry will not have to deal with a plagas from a Majini that is killed by
the headbutt since his headbutt will cancel any plagas spawns!
--> BARRY'S BASIC PARTNER COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the basic commands that a Barry player can issue
with the partner assist button followed by a direction. These can only be
performed in duo mode.
01) Tap assist button
02) Hold assist button + Right on the Directional Pad
Barry: "Come on!"
03) Hold assist button + Left on the Directional Pad
Barry: "Thank you kindly!"
04) Hold assist button + Up on the Directional Pad
Barry: "Go!"
05) Hold assist button + Down on the Directional Pad
Barry: "Wait up!"
--> BARRY'S PARTNER ASSIST COMMANDS
The following is a list of all the assist commands that a Barry player can
issue to a partner. Press the assist button to perform the following responses
during the action listed. These can only be performed in Duo mode.
01) When an enemy has grabbed Barry
Barry: "I need some help here!"
"Help me!"
02) While Barry is in dying status
Barry: "Don't let me die!"
"Don't leave me!"
03) When Barry runs completely out of ammo (NONE AVAILABLE FOR ANY INVENTORY
WEAPON)
04) When a Barry player requests ammo from a partner
Barry: "I need some ammo"
--> BARRY'S PARTNER RESPONSES
Listed below are the responses that a Barry player can trigger by pressing the
assist button during the following actions. In order to perform each one with
more accuracy, press and hold the assist button when you go to perform each
response. Holding the button for a few seconds will keep your character from
accidentally saying "Come on". If the response doesn't work the first time,
then press and hold the assist button again.
When it doesn't work the second time, that usually means either the time for a
response has elapsed, or the action was not counted as one that can be
responded to; every now and then responses will not activate when they should.
These can only be performed in duo mode.
01) Partner critical headshot (when an enemy's head bursts from a partner
handgun, magnum, or rifle shot - the shot MUST BE the random critical
headshot)
Barry: "Good work!"
"Nice work!"
"Nice one!"
02) Partner gives Barry an item
03) Partner heals Barry
04) Partner resuscitates Barry
05) Partner helps to break a grab (even a slight nudge that breaks the hold)
Barry: "Aw, you shouldn't have!"
"I can always count on you!"
"Thank you kindly!"
06) Partner is in dying status
Barry: "I'm coming!"
"Hold on!"
07) Partner performs a request
08) Partner performs an action command
09) Partner performs an action command while in a hoisting/preparing to jump
pose
Barry: "Roger"
"Ok."
10) Partner melee attacks an enemy after a bounce/stagger animation from a
Hook, Kick, Twist Kick or Knee (double team attack) [CAN'T BE ACTIVATED ON
BOSSES]
11) Partner melee attacks an enemy with a special tag team melee attack
12) Partner melee attacks an enemy that Barry has knocked off the partner with
a partner assist melee attack.
Barry: "Couldn't have done it better myself!"
"That's good!"
"Yes!"

Is that you, Rebecca? The S.T.A.R.S. medic that fought Dr. Marcus alongside
Billy Coen? The last surviving member of Bravo team that escaped from the
Spencer Estate with Chris and Jill back in the Arklay Mountains of Raccoon
City?
Rebecca Chambers is both a strong and weak character in Mercenaries Reunion
depending on how she is played. Much like Wesker in the original Mercs mode,
she has one melee that rules highly over all others since it can kill without
the need of prior damage. Rebecca is still far from a Wesker though. Besides
having a very powerful melee, she also some of the weakest overall melees and
weapons.

Would you look at all that ammo? Dear god, do you really need all of that,
Rebecca? Talking about a caked up inventory! In a way she doesn't really need
so much shotgun ammo. It's a good idea to discard something in her inventory
from the start of each run.
Rebecca carries the MP5 from the start. It comes with a capacity of 120 and
she already has 300 bullets extra. In a way, she might need them since the MP5
is a very weak weapon. Rebbecca also brings along a Jail Breaker shotgun. Her
Jail Breaker has a capacity of 10 and she brings along 60 extra shotgun shells
along with her.
To ensure her medic status, Rebecca starts out with two first aid sprays!
Fairy Tale Sheva still has the advantage of more healing with her gold eggs,
but Rebecca likes to look after others and share her healing with a healing
item that can heal her and her partner.
--> REBECCA'S H&K MP5 MACHINE GUN
.-------------------------------.
| H&K MP5 (MG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: 120 |
| Capacity: 120 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: Piercing |
'-------------------------------'
H&K MP5
-------
Pros:
+ Sets up Rebecca's Flame Spray melee easily with very light damage
+ Very accurate shots with little recoil
Cons:
- Very low firepower
- Light damage requires several hits in order to kill with other melees besides
the flame spray
Rebecca's MP5 carries the same damage rate as BSAA Jill's MP5 in the original
Mercs mode. It has a slightly lower capacity however. This gun is best used
to set up Rebecca's head stun flame spray melee. A simple tap of the trigger
to get a head stun on a Majini followed by a flame spray will instantly kill
the majority of Majini. Nearly any Majini that is caught in the flames will be
killed off as well.
This gun is very accurate when compared to the other machine guns in Mercs
Reunion. A player can literally pinpoint aim from a distance with this weapon
and keep firing at a precise area thanks to the little recoil that this machine
gun has.
The lower firepower of the MP5 really works against Rebecca whenever a player
tries to set up her other melees besides her flame spray. Since the MP5 will
ground a Majini rather easily, a player will likely knock down a Majini before
damaging it enough to kill it off with Rebecca's kick ground melee unless a
player aims for the head portion of the Majini for a critical kick. A
combination of MP5 damage and Rebecca's head cracker melee is a good method to
cancel any scripted plagas.
--> REBECCA'S JAIL BREAKER SHOTGUN
.-------------------------------.
| Jail Breaker (SG) |
|===============================|
| Firepower: ? |
| Capacity: 10 |
| Reload Speed: ? sec. |
| Special: -------------- |
'-------------------------------'
Jail Breaker
------------
Pros:
+ Decent damage for boss and big enemy kills
+ Tight spread allows a player to perform a more pinpoint blast instead taking
down a whole crowd and ruining melee kills with a single blast
Cons:
+ Lacks instant stunning power for bosses like most shotguns
Rebecca's Jail Breaker is more powerful than Clubbin' Sheva's Jail Breaker from
the original Mercs mode. She carries a capacity of 10 in the gun and comes
with plenty of ammo from the start. Really, a player doesn't need as much ammo
as Rebecca starts each run with, so a player might want to discard some in
favor of more inventory space.
Her Jail Breaker is her main source of firearm power and takes some really good
damage from close range. She can kill off a Cephalo with one shot from close
range a good bit of the time. If the Cephalo lives through a close range shot
then a kick will most likely finish it. The Jail Breaker is a decent gun for
boss enemies. It can kill a boss enemy rather quickly - usally in about four
shots. It can't stun a boss such as the Executioner quickly however. Rebecca
needs to fire her Jail Breaker at least twice in order to stun an Executioner.
Since the spread of the gun is so tightly compacted, Rebecca can avoid needless
killing by aiming diretly at an enemy and firing. She won't run the risk of
ruining melee kills in the process that much thanks to the little spread of
each shot.

* Rebecca can only perform this special arm stun melee in duo mode while paired
with a Chris or Excella partner.
Rebecca has a wide range of weak melees for the most part. Her head stun flame
spray melee literally rules her gameplay for the most part. A simple head stun
with the MP5 machine gun followed by her flame spray will kill the majority of
Majini types. Her flame spray by itself can finish off most Majini without the
need for prior damage. Her flame spray has some really good range and she can
get multiple melee kills very easily with this melee.
Rebecca's other melees require quite a bit of prior damage. It's best to make
sure that Rebecca has shot a Majini at least three times with her MP5 before
performing her kick ground melee to make sure that the ground melee kills.
Rebecca can face a Majini's head while it is grounded and get a critical kick
for a Majini that has not been damaged much.
Rebecca's Jump Hit sets up her kick rather well, but the process of doing both
of these together is rather time consuming. Her Head Cracker has the ability
to cancel a Cephalo if it kills. The head cracker has about a 25% chance of
gaining a critical on a Majini. If the melee kills a Majini or criticals a
Majini then a plagas spawn is instantly canceled. The critical possibility is
all random though!
--> REBECCA'S MELEE KILLS
Killing off any enemy with a melee will give the player a +5 second bonus,
which will be added to the clock. Finishing off as many enemies as a player
possibly can with melee kills is one of the main keys to scoring high in the
Mercenaries. All leftover time will be added to a player's main score at 300

behind him and perform a melee after he leans back for an instant kill.
The following section lists methods to obtain melee kills for Rebecca.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** MP5 head stun --> Flame Spray
An MP5 head stun followed by a flame spray melee is literally the bread and
butter of Rebecca's melee game. The flame spray melee deals enough damage to
kill off just about any Majini without prior damage. This combination is a
very easy way to set up multiple melee kills in tight areas. Rebecca can
easily get a triple melee kill against a crowd with little effort while using
this melee combination.
** MP5 shot to body --> MP5 shot to body --> MP5 leg trip --> Kick
(only two shots required for Wetland Majini [besides Torch], Female Majini,
Dynamite Majini, Cocktail Majini [only in Mines] and Bowgun Majini)
Rebecca needs to damage the standard male Town and Base Majini with at least
three shots prior to her kick ground melee in order to kill it off. With
weaker Majini such as the ones listed above, Rebecca only needs to shoot each
of them twice before performing her kick ground melee.
** Kick (Critical)
Whenever an undamaged Majini falls to the ground, or you are unsure whether or
not a kick will kill it from the body portion, run toward the Majini's head and
face the head then perform Rebecca's kick to splatter the Majini head all over
the ground with a kick directly to its noggin'. Such violence, Rebecca! Such
bloodshed, Ms. Chambers! Oh no!
** MP5 shot to body --> MP5 shot to body --> MP5 leg stun --> Head Cracker
One might think this melee combination is too time consuming to worry with but
a head cracker melee is the only way to cancel a plagas spawn with Rebecca. A
player must damage a Majini just enough to where the head cracker melee will
kill it in order to cancel a possible Cephalo. The head cracker has about a
25% chance of a critical, which means no prior damage may be needed but the
critical is all based on chance and luck. The critical will not spawn a plagas
either.
** MP5 body shot --> MP5 arm stun --> Double Flame Spray
(with a Chris or Excella partner in duo mode only)
Rebecca's double flame spray does NOT take off as much damage as her normal
head stun flame spray. A player will likely not get multiple kills off of a
double flame spray alone even though there is a slight chance of a critical or
multiple hits from the blast of a double flame spray.
A player should shoot a Majini at least once prior to the arm stun in order to
make sure that her double flame spray actually kills. This melee combination
is really not that great to use most of the time. Rebecca's normal flame spray
greatly overshadows her double flame spray with its ability to kill without the
need of prior damage.
** Flash Grenade --> Flame Spray
Since Rebecca's flame spray melee can kill off Majini without the need of prior
damage, a Rebecca player can simply toss a flash grenade into a crowd of Majini
then run up to each Majini or multiple Majini and kill them off with a flame
spray without the need of any MP5 shots before the flame spray.
-----------------
Basic Melee Kills
-----------------
** MP5 head stun --> Flame Spray to multiple Majini
ANY portion of the flame spray that hits a standard Majini will kill off the
Majini. No prior damage is needed for the majority of Majini types. A Rebecca
player can shoot a Majini in the head with her MP5 then stand next to the
Majini and wait as other Majini approach the stunned Majini then quickly
activate the flame spray melee and kill off multiple Majini. Her flame spray
works basically like a Wesker Cobra Strike that has greater range.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q.) [FA00]
===============================================================================
[1]
Q) How much is leftover time worth in Mercenaries Reunion
A) Time that is leftover at the end of run is now only worth 300 points per
second.
[2]
Q) How did you figure all the weapon stats, melee damage stats, enemy stats,
etc?
A) It all started from the assumption that a knife slash will deal 50 damage
to an enemy like it did in normal Mercenaries. 16 knife slashes will kill a
standard male Town Majini, therefore that Majini has around 800 HP. So...
yeah, a bunch of knife slashing and gunfire was used by me to figure out
many of the stats in this guide.
I will say that some of the info may be off, but it should be very close to
the actual information that Capcom hasn't released yet.

Q) What is the best method for gaining a high score in Mercenaries Reunion
(solo and duo)?
A) ALWAYS get a full combo. 150 kills exact. Any combo lower than that is
going to result in a much lower score. The run might as well end once the
kill chain stops before reaching 150 and display the phrase "YOU HAVE
FAILED!1" across the screen in red letters if the combo dies before 150 kils
are reached.
In stages with bosses, bosses should be saved until the last possible kill
range to where the bosses will all spawn during a kill range and the player
has enough time to include all of the bosses in the kill combo. The final
boss NEEDS to be the 150th kill ALWAYS if you want the highest score
possible!
Combo chests need to be picked up as early as possible. They will give 1000
points in place of the current bonus from the current kill chain number.
The earlier a player picks them, the more points the player will gain during
the kill combo. Picking up a combo bonus after the 50th kill will not
result in any extra bonus!
Melee killing is not near as important as maintaining a full kill combo in
Reunion, but it can raise the score a bit, so leftover time is still a
factor in Reunion but not near as much as it was in normal RE5 Mercenaries.
One full minute will now only give a player 18,000 extra points. Only in
Experimental Facility is time important since there are no bosses!
