Mercs Basics:

Points:

-Points are earned by killing enemies. The more enemies you kill, the more points you will get. Look at the table above. It shows how many points you will get for killing each different enemy. Boss enemies will net you more points then regular enemies.

Combo:

-Combos are achieved by killing enemies within a time spn of 10 seconds in between kills. The higher your combo, the more pomits you will get when the combo ends.

Time Bonus:

-Throughout each stage are several Time Bonus statues. Break these open to get an extra 30, 60 or 90 seconds added to your overall time. If you want to get a high score, then it is likely that you'll need all the Time Bonus' to gain enough points.

Rankings:

-Rankings are determined by how many points you have gotten. If you play Mercs co-op then then amount of points needed to achieve each rank is doubled.

D: Solo: 0 - 9999 Co-op: 0 - 19999
C: Solo: 10,000+ Co-op: 20000+
B: Solo: 20,000+ Co-op: 40000+
A: Solo: 40000+ Co-op: 80000+
S: Solo: 60000+ Co-op: 120000+
SS: Solo: 90000+ Co-op: 150000+

Okay so that's it as far as i can remember. Feel free to add to it and point out any errors and mistakes.

Oh and sticky pleaseeeee

 

[ChrisRedfield1994]

Kickass Wesker
Thanks for that!
Now I don't need to keep wondering which enemies to kill first!

 

[echoey]

This is all the information you need for mercs mode!!!
Nice one Wesker!! it should be stickyd as well!!
saves people joining the fozzy an asking how to do things haha

If I was any good at mercs mode this information would help me loads and I'd be able to unlock everything =P
But I sucks at mercs to harshly, need more practice haha.

 

[Kellyrose]

This is awesome! Thanks! =)
Not much to add, this guide helped me finally get S+, but everyone has probably already seen it

[A_Wesker123]

No problem guys

If you have any requests on guides you want me to do then dont hesitate to let me know

 

[echoey]

Im sure someone will ask you to do something sooner or later at the moment I'm pretty clued up on all my games xD

 

[toco]

thanks for the info now I can finely get some ponts!

 

[Davinfected]

I still suck at Mercs

 

[Levan]

Try watching videos of some high scorers. A lot of them post their gameplay in youtube, and maybe you can utilize their tactics to be good at Mercs.

 

[Pancham Cutie]

Here is something that was left out.

Killing a enemy with a melee attack will give you 5 extra seconds.

The game also gives you ammo for guns in your inventory so if you discard any weapons in you inventory then you will only get ammo for the guns that you didn't discard.

 

[wpstudart]

I'm not perfect in mercenaries, but I survive :lol: I think that the best way to kill majinis with a shot in the head (with the pistol) and finish with the melee attack. I think the other weapons are for, like an emergency.

 

[Valentine]

I'll give you a strategy.

In Duo: One must be Wesker! Then I would suggest Jill Valentine (BSAA)

Jill's handgun will get you a 95 % headshot kill. and she's got Flash and FAS.
Weskers Handkanon against Bosses.

I personaly use to get all Timelins then Kill.

REMEMBER! SURVIVAL IS ALWAYS FIRST PRIORITY.

You're right, it may be a good idea do it. I'll do it someday with a friend.

I got the time lines before either

 

[D2D]

Does anyone know if there are hidden weapons in the different stages. If you play the shipdeck once you jump across the three containers that face the long mast you can climb. after you hit the time bonus jump down and against the wall in the coner is a first aid spray but also a grenade launcher and a pack of flam rounds. I have the PS3 and its there no matter what person I play with so now I am wondering if there is something like this on any of the other levels. I played that level at least 20 times before I even noticed the aid spray and then about five more time before I noticed the launcher.

 

[Rusty]

YOU CAN ALSO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF WESKER'S DASH. ALMOST NOONE KNOWS THIS SO I FELT THE NEED TO CAP LOCK THIS STATEMENT.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dZngR95jGQ

He primarily sticks to the vertical shifts, but you can juke and turn horizontally as well. He has a nice dsiplay of this near the end of the vid where he dashes a circle around the Prison level. It's a good display of the dash properties though. I recognize them having experienced some myself. (Like not being able to do it with too much clutter around you....) You can also run through fire and are immune to all forms of attack while dashing and you can actually kill Majini with the vertical shifts he does 95% of the vid.

 

[Kosda]

2,000 for a chicken xD ? wtf ...

i never recognised it gives me points when i kill one ...and than even 2000 WOOOOT i always kill chicken, im egg addict haha

 

[Mr Sunshine]

Ahh never mind

Also, how much more points do you get from combos?

 

[Wesker_xSTARSx]

A single kill in Mercenaries is 300 points.
A single kill in Mercenaries with a melee attack is 300 points +05sec to the clock.
Each kill from a combo tacks on 10 points for how ever high you have the combo.
And Combo Times tack on an extra 1000 points multiplied by the combo number once the Combo Time is up.
