To unlock the Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil 8 Village (buy now € 64.99), complete the story of the game. It doesn't matter what level of difficulty your Resi 8 is on. You then get access to the bonus shop, in which the game mode The Mercenaries unlocks for AP points. In the main menu you then select bonuses and find the mercenaries mode there. At the beginning, the first stage, The Village, is unlocked. You can unlock more levels if you complete the missions with at least an A rank. For the last four modified stages with a higher degree of difficulty, B-ranks are sufficient. In the duke's room you will find a document with all the details on how to reach the ranks.How does the mercenaries mode work?
The game mode The Mercenaries is more like the raid mode of the Revelations offshoots than the Mercenaries from Resident Evil 4. You start in the Duke's room and buy weapons, ammunition, healing or upgrades for your weapons. Then you start the corresponding stage, kill as many opponents as possible one after the other in order to get a high score with combos. For example, if you have killed an opponent, you switch off another opponent in the next 15 seconds to increase your combo. If you fail to do this, your combo will be reset. By the way, you get an achievement or a trophy for a 30 combo.You also collect blue and yellow bubbles. While yellow gives you a time bonus, the blue bubbles give you a choice of three upgrades that give you more health, more damage or more perks. Have you done a certain number of enemies, you leave the level section. Each stage consists of two to five sections. Incidentally, the perks of the blue bubbles add up to the final scoring. You can also select the same ability several times.
Incidentally, for the final scoring not only the number of opponents killed, but also the collected money and the remaining time count. If you achieve at least a B-rating, you will receive 5,000 lei as a bonus for further attempts in the stage. With an A-rank you unlock the next map. An S rank gives you a bonus skill. First of all, getting B and A ranks before you go to an S rating is recommended. The first four stages come from the story sections Village, Castle, Factory and Chaos Village. Then you unlock the same four stages in a different form. The opponents are much stronger. Attention: You will not receive the bonuses for ranks S, A and B in the last four difficult stages.
Tips for S ranks
To get one in Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil Village To get a high rating, there are a few things you should keep in mind. The document next to the Duke always shows you which requirements you have to meet for the ranks. The first four stages allow a very specific tactic. In contrast, the last four modified stages are more difficult and require new strategies. In general, however: keep the combos high to get higher time bonuses. You plan the kills in advance. So if you still have time, you can quickly loot loot or the blue and yellow bubbles and leave an opponent standing.Before the start of the stage you decide on a weapon. Funds are tight, which is why you can neither buy all weapons nor unlock all upgrades. Once you have decided on a weapon, sell ammunition for the other guns at the Duke. That brings you money for important upgrades. Ammunition is also lying around in the duke's room between the level sections. Also sell what you don't need here. You can also sell healing items with confidence, provided you suffer little damage. You keep the pistol as an emergency weapon and sell half of the ammunition. If you are in the double S ranks, you should memorize enemy spawns and the distribution of blue and yellow bubbles in the stages. Sometimes the paths to the spawn points are far apart. Plan that in terms of maintaining the combos.
Tips for stages 1 to 4
In the first four stages of the mercenary mode in Resident Evil Village you use the sniper rifle . Because of its firepower, the Wumme is ideal. Tactically, the weapon is ideal, as you distribute one-shots at most opponents. So you sell all shotgun ammunition at the dealer and level up firepower and rate of fire. Don't forget: With the upgrade for the ammunition capacity, the weapon in Resi 8 is also automatically fully loaded. Shortly before the end of a level section, you save yourself reloading and invest your lei in upgrading the capacity. This also boosts your ammunition supply. Invest in perks that will increase your damage output. You should also choose the option that killed enemies explode from time to time.Warning: In the Chaos Village (Stage 4) you collect all shotgun ammunition. For the last section you can buy a shotgun from the Duke. This helps you to put the last boss down without any problems. At the end of the day you have amassed a lot of ammunition if you only use the sniper rifle for the first few sections.

Tips for stages 5 to 8
As Youtuber PowerPyx recommends in his guide, you should use the knife strategy. Neither a shotgun nor a sniper rifle are available to you. For many of the stronger opponents, the pistol is also too weak. The Masamune skill is required for the knife. For this you have to complete the first Chaos Village with an A rank. You sell your pistol and ammunition in full and get the grenade launcher and a couple of stun grenades. You also invest your lei in healing items. In addition to Masamune, you will also get the Blade Master Skill. Both in combination are excellent.You can put more skills into close attacks or more damage to enemies with less energy. The Masamune skill increases your knife damage tenfold. Since your knife does not require ammunition, you only concentrate on stuning the enemy with stun grenades. You can buy this from the Duke for only 200 lei each between the sections. You also get a couple of explosive grenades to remove the helmets of the werewolves with a cage on their head. Only then can you stun them with a lightning grenade. Also watch out for the vampire daughters in the castle, who you cannot kill with the knife in one cycle. For this you need at least 2 stun grenades.
The disadvantage of this method: According to PowerPyx, you only have a 14 percent chance of receiving the Masamune skill in a blue bubble. So you run straight to the blue bubbles and check whether the skill is available. In stage 5 (village 2), for example, you have three chances. If this is not there, just reload and try again. The constant restarting is the disadvantage of this method, since the method does not work without the Masamune. So sell your pistol and ammunition before you start and get the grenade launcher and a couple of stun grenades for the coal. On the website powerpyx also introduces you to another method with pistol, magnum and mines.
