Learn how to get a 5-second time bonus per melee kill in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D and exploit multi-kills for a 10-second bonus.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Perform any character melee attack to kill an enemy.
  2. 2
    This action will add 5 seconds to your remaining mission time.
  3. 3
    If a melee attack kills two enemies simultaneously, you will gain a 10-second increase to the total time.
  4. 4
    Set up multiple melee kills to actively build time during missions.
  5. 5
    Some melees, like Chris' uppercut, can hit both standing and grounded enemies, allowing for strategic setups where an uppercut on a grounded enemy can also hit another grounded enemy beneath it.
Tips
  • Most melee kills require prior damage to an enemy to be effective.
  • Learn how much damage an enemy can withstand before being weak enough for a melee kill to maximize time-building opportunities.
  • Consider using melees that can hit multiple enemies at once, such as Chris' uppercut, to gain larger time bonuses.

Melee Kills That Grant Time Bonus:

  • Head stun melees
  • Arm stun melees
  • Leg stun melees
  • Ground melees
  • Deathblow/Tag Team/Boss melees
  • Partner Help Melees
  • Knife Slash (available with Krauser and Jill's weapon sets)
  • Time bonus hit
  • Landing on an enemy (from ledge dropoff)
