Endings & Unlockables

Resident Evil Outbreak's replayability is significantly enhanced by its diverse endings and a wealth of unlockable content. Your performance, particularly your clear time, infection rate, and combat efficiency, directly dictates which rewards you earn. Aim for high ranks to uncover everything the game has to offer!

Scenario Endings & Unlockable Scenarios

Each of the game's scenarios features multiple endings, primarily determined by your Clear Rank. This rank is a composite score based on completion time, damage sustained, enemies defeated, and final infection rate. Achieving an "A" rank on a scenario is crucial for unlocking both its best ending and its associated bonus content. The following scenarios are key to unlocking additional gameplay elements:

The Outbreak: This introductory scenario's rank influences bonuses for Kevin and unlocks.
Below Freezing Point: Essential for unlocking specific character costumes and bonus gameplay.
The Hive: Critical for unlocking Cindy's costume and progressing your overall completion.
Hellfire: Completing this scenario with an "A" rank is vital for unlocking the playable character Foreman (Bob), as well as George's costume.
Decisions, Decisions: The final scenario. Achieving an "A" rank here unlocks Alyssa's costume and the playable character Researcher (Monica).

Focusing on achieving "A" ranks on these scenarios is your primary path to unlocking the game's full potential, including bonus scenarios and characters.

Unlockable Characters & Costumes

Beyond the initial roster, Resident Evil Outbreak allows you to unlock entirely new playable characters and alternate costumes, offering fresh gameplay experiences.

Unlockable Costumes:

Each of the eight starting characters boasts alternate costumes, typically unlocked by completing specific scenarios with achievements. These costumes are purely cosmetic but add variety to your playthroughs. The conditions generally require an "A" rank clear, and it's often implied that this is for the *first* clear of that scenario with the specified character, though repeated "A" rank clears on easier difficulties may suffice for some.

Kevin Ryman: Complete "The Outbreak" with an "A" rank.
Mark Wilkins: Complete "Below Freezing Point" with an "A" rank.
Cindy Lennox: Complete "The Hive" with an "A" rank.
George Hamilton: Complete "Hellfire" with an "A" rank.
Alyssa Ashcroft: Complete "Decisions, Decisions" with an "A" rank.
Yoko Suzuki: Complete all scenarios on Easy difficulty.
David King: Complete all scenarios on Normal difficulty.
Jim Chapman: Complete all scenarios on Hard difficulty.

Additional outfits may be unlocked by achieving "A" ranks across all scenarios on higher difficulties. For instance, completing all scenarios with an "A" rank on Very Hard difficulty is known to unlock special attire for all characters.

Unlockable Playable Characters (EX Characters):

Resident Evil Outbreak features two secret, powerful playable characters, often referred to as "EX Characters," who are unlocked through specific scenario completions:

Foreman (Bob): Unlock by earning an "A" rank in the "Hellfire" scenario on any difficulty. Foreman is a durable character with a unique starting melee weapon.
Researcher (Monica): Unlock by earning an "A" rank in the "Decisions, Decisions" scenario on any difficulty. Monica often begins with helpful medical supplies and possesses research-related perks.

These characters become available for selection from the character select screen once unlocked and offer a distinct advantage in gameplay.
