Now, when it comes to getting rewards from the RE4 Remake Mercenaries Unlock, players can first get their hands on the Handcannon weapon. 

  • If players were to unlock the weapons by themselves by playing through the main storyline, players would need to complete it by beating the main story on professional difficulty, which is not only extremely time-consuming, but it requires an intense amount of skill to do so. 
  • Other than that, payers would also need to spend 9-15 hours grinding out the main story so that they can unlock the Handcannon. 
  • However, if players want to unlock the Handcannon weapon as an RE4 Remake Mercenaries Rewards faster, then the Mercenaries Mode is the perfect solution. 
  • Players will need to spend a maximum of 1-2 hours grinding out the mercenaries mode, through which they can then unlock the weapon, and it ends up saving them a ton of time

The main way that players can unlock the Handcannon is that they will need to score an S rank or an even higher score by completing all 3 stages that are made available to the players in the mercenaries mode. 

  • After the weapon has been unlocked, players can buy the weapon in the Extra Content Shop by spending a total of 1000 CP, and after that, the weapon can be used in the main campaign as well.

Kicking things off, we have Leon, who is essentially the default unit, and players don’t need to unlock him. 

  • Leon is made pretty useful in nearly all stages that he is thrown into, whether it is the village, the castle, or the Island, and he is able to handle all kinds of enemies. 
  • Leon is equipped with Mayhem Mode, which essentially grants him an increased attack strength as well as increased attack speed, but this also means that it is incredibly difficult to use and it requires a lot of skill. 
  • When it comes to using the mayhem mode, players should mainly keep it for whenever they are in trouble, and it is best kept to take out opponents that are in a hazard in front of you. 

Weapons 

Now, when it comes to his weapons, he is equipped with a total of 4 weapons that players can choose from, which are listed as follows. 

SG-09 R

Luis

Moving on, the next character that players can get is Luis, and the main way that players can unlock him is through the RE4 Remake Mercenaries Unlock

  • Luis is not considered to be the best unit out there since he has an overall lower rating as compared to Leon and other units out there. 
  • Players can get to know his Mayhem Mode insanely easily since players can plant the dynamite, and it can bomb out opponents pretty easily.

  • Though, that being said, when it comes to attempting to take out opponents whenever you are close to them, Luis lacks power here. He is not able to carry out close combat well at all.

  • This makes him vulnerable to attacks from the enemy’s ends, and he lacks the proper weaponry that characters like Leon might have that is needed to take out enemies that are in hoards. 
  • He has a total of three weapons, with those being the Red9, SR M1903, as well as the Boot knife, but he also comes with a flash grenade and first aid sprays too.
