Hint: Unlimited Money and Ammo

Unlike in Resident Evil 4, your ammo and money carry over every time you replay a level. Collect money and ammo in a chapter; then pause, save and quit. Restart the chapter and you can collect everything a second time. This works well in chapters 1-2, 3-1 (the hovercraft level) and 4-1 (caves). As a general rule, this "farming" method works especially well in levels in which you can collect weapons worth money and ample hidden treasures like jewels and beetles. For instance, 3-1 has copious amounts of treasures, and a Rocket Launcher on the sunken boat that you can repeatedly collect.

Hint: Wesker's Dash Attack

When using the unlockable character Wesker in Mercenaries, you can click the Right Analog Stick (sometimes called R3) to initiate a dash. Press R1 + R2 while dashing to do a knee attack. Warning: This move will drain your own life meter, so use it sparingly!

Hint: Inventory Reload in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode you can reload your weapon by pulling up your Inventory screen and combining the ammunition manually with the gun (using the "Move" command button). Once you get used to this, you can use it to your advantage since it is a lot faster then reloading your shotgun, for instance, on the fly. More importantly, you can use this trick while climbing a ladder or when you are a jumping down to really save some time -- and possibly your neck.

Hint: Discarding Weapons in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode, ammunition drops are based on the type of weapons you have. Use this to your advantage by discarding weapons you don't use. This causes more ammunition to be dropped for other weapons. Example: For Wesker (Stars), drop the Samurai Edge to find more Magnum and Shotgun ammo.

Hint: Unlocking the Infinite Rocket Launcher

To acquire the Infinite Rocket Launcher, you must achieve a total game time of under 5:00:00. You don't have to play the game all the way through in one run to get a low total time -- you can just go chapter by chapter, using the Chapter Select, lowering your time in each. Your final time is a total of your lowest runs through the chapters.

Hint: Avoid the Cage in 6-1

Upon starting this level you'll be able to climb to the top of the crow's nest to the left of your spawn point. From here you may snipe the enemy that operates the crane. Look for him under the arm of the crane by the controls to the upper left. This will allow you to skip the scene in which your partner gets trapped in the cage. You can also snipe the enemy half way up the ladder, and the one by the caged area. The latter is easier to shoot from the level's initial starting point.

Hint: Unlimited Ammo for All!

Hint: Bypass the Locked Gate in 2-1

At the very end of 2-1 you'll ascend a building before fighting the chainsaw-wielding maniac. At the top of the building, you are prompted to split up so Sheva can work her way to the other side of the locked door below. You can avoid this entire scene and stay together by unlocking this door in an alternate way.

You'll need a hand grenade, which you can find on the first balcony up the stairs in the building with the locked door. Actually, you'll probably need more than one since this is a tricky toss. On this very balcony (the first one, not the top one), position yourself directly across from the "Animal Health" sign. Lob a grenade at this sign (aim a but lower than you think) and it will rebound off of it and land near the locked door below. This will blow off the lock. Go downstairs and exit via the door.

Alternately, if you have the Gatling Gun, you can push it through the door and it will shoot off the lock from the other side.

Hint: Evade Attacks

If you have ammo or other pickups at your feet, you can use them to evade enemy grabs and other attacks. Simply initiate the item pickup as the enemy begins its attack animation. You’ll be invincible as you bend down. Your AI partner will temporarily remain invincible as well. This can save your life in Mercenaries!

Hint: The Heart of Africa

There is a special treasure to be had in the boss fight with Jill and Wesker. If you beat up Wesker enough in the seven minutes he has to spare, the Heart of Africa treasure will appear between the two stairs on the bottom level -- behind where Jill spawns during the second half of the fight (and you can pick it up in the second half too). One Rocket in Wesker's well-groomed face will do the trick (you have to shoot the rocket with another rocket or a gun while he holds it). Hide at the end of a long passage after he kicks you through the wall. Soon you'll see on your map that he's spinning around, looking for you. Shoot him with a rocket then.

Hint: Hidden Treasure - Topaz (Marquise)

Note: This is significantly easier with unlimited ammo. After encountering your first Majini and jumping out the window in Chapter 1-1, a long wave of Majini will stream out of an alleyway. Instead of running for safety, take them on. After 20 or so, a final one will leave behind the Topaz (Marquise).

Easter Egg: Hidden Dialog

If you wait around long enough at the very beginning of Chapter 1-1, before any checkpoints, you will trigger a conversation between Sheva and Chris in which Chris gives a scathing critique of the American Dream.

Easter Egg: Hidden Cutscene

At the very start of Chapter 1-1, take your first right just past the building and you'll see a quick cutscene of a fellow in an unfortunate predicament.

Easter Egg: The Chair

In this immensely stupid Easter Egg, Chris and Sheva can take a short rest in a chair. There are chairs in Chapter 5-3 (at the beginning of the chapter, far end of the lab) and Chapter 6-2 (the captain's seat). That is all.

Easter Egg: Hidden Zombie

In the third part of Chapter 2-2, look for a green portable toilet just past the truck with a gatling gun. Politely knock on it for a surprise. Oh, and have a weapon ready.
