While playing other shooters like Gears of War 3 and Halo 3 is fast-paced and fun, I was worried that the stop and shoot mechanics in Resident Evil 5 would hinder the frenzied feeling that online shooters have become so famous for. One thing that really concerned me about Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode was the controls. Playing with these characters doesn't really impact the gameplay per se, but since these characters must be unlocked by gaining points through match rankings, if you really want to earn Weskers' STARS outfit (which will cost you 10,000 points), it may be enough of an incentive to keep you in the game. Fans of older Resident Evil games will be happy to know that both Wesker and Chris have their old STARS outfits available for unlocking. Each character has two or three bonus outfits, which brings the total roster count to ten. These four characters include (Spoiler alert!) Chris, Sheva, Wesker, and Jill. Still, it is nice to have the choice to work together or solo.Īs far as characters are concerned, there are a total of four different characters you can play as, each with alternate costumes and weapons schemes. However, the team modes don't really add much to the gameplay, especially since working together can actually make you more of a target in Survivor mode. In addition to the regular versions of these modes, there is also a team version you can play to rack up cooperative points instead of just points for yourself. Although Slayer bears more than a passing resemblance to the unlockable Mercenaries mode, the dynamics are definitely different when you are playing online with up to four different people. You also get bonus points for killing special Majini, such as the black-clad, axe-wielding baddie from the first level of the story mode. Like Survivor, Slayers gives you a base amount of points for hitting Majini, and bonus points for killing them and going on uninterrupted streaks. This mode involves killing as many Majini as possible during a time limit. Outfit To unlock this outfit you have to beat every mission on any difficulty, and collect at least 25 BSAA emblems during story mode. Chris’ Safari Outfit To unlock this outfit, simply beat every misson on any difficulty. The trick here involves killing people, and staying alive at the same time, and the result is some very intense gameplay. In Resident Evil 5, Chris has two costumes that are unlockable for the primary story mode. However, if you get hit or killed, you will lose points you accumulated by killing others. You will get points for hitting (not just killing) other players and can get bonuses for extra hits, kills, and streaks. Survivor is the most competitive and has you running around familiar locations looking for other players to kill. There are two main modes in Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode: Survivor and Slayer. Despite all the talk, Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode is great for fans of online multiplayer, and if you crave competitive play, this DLC may be worth your investment.
However, what really riled fans up was the persistent rumor that this DLC was not even true additional content, but instead an unlock code that opened content already on the disc.Įither way, the Resident Evil 5 Versus downloadable content has been embroiled in controversy since it was released.
That number cannot be rounded off to a full percent for those types of weapons so the damage listing for weapons other than a magnum will be off for the Gatling Gun Majini.When the Resident Evil 5 Versus downloadable content debuted on April 7, much was made of the fact that the game had not yet been out for a month, and DLC was already being thrust at fans that were probably just finishing up the game. NOTE: The Gatling Gun Majini has a random weapon damage modifier for weapons other than a magnum. And for anyone wondering, no, I will not do this for Sheva and Jill - Chris and Wesker were intense enough. NOTE: If you need to look up any other type of statistic based on characters or enemies, look it up in my Stat List on GameFAQs:Īll of this info will be added to that guide along with the Chris info soon. Never say that the Chris player didn't give the Wesker player any help. This covers EVERYTHING that Wesker has, even a knife slash. The following is a listing of every gunshot and melee to every portion of the body for Wesker (S.T.A.R.S.) and Wesker (Midnight).
A Wesker player could be free to make his/her own melee kills with such a list for Wesker. It would be so dumb to do that only for Chris and not for Wesker also.
That's so unlike me- Wait.Īnyway, I recently did a full damage listing of all of Chris' gun and melee damage to every portion of an enemy's body in The Mercenaries in my Chris guide and I got to thinking. If you’re looking for some help for the mercenaries mode, check out my mercenaries mode strategy guide. Getting an A rank requires either 40,000+ points in single player mode, or 80,000+ in either co-op mode. Decided to post a pic of Wesker since this post is all about him. The other outfit, STARS Chris, is unlocked by getting an A rank on Experimental Facility.
