Learn how to achieve at least a B-rank on Mission Level EX-5 in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. This guide provides tips and strategies to unlock this challenging mission.
Walkthrough
- 1The primary objective in The Mercenaries 3D is to complete missions as quickly and efficiently as possible, maximizing the remaining time on the countdown timer.
- 2Time limits can be extended by breaking Time Bonuses scattered throughout missions and by performing and killing enemies with melee attacks.
- 3Melee attacks grant bonuses: invincibility frames during the animation, +5 seconds to the timer upon a successful kill, and the prevention of certain enemy spawns (Cephalos and Duvalias) when specific melee attacks are used.
- 4To perform a melee attack, an enemy must first be flinched or knocked down.
- 5Specific body targets trigger different melee attacks: headshots can lead to a Straight, leg shots to an Uppercut, and rear attacks to a Neckbreaker (an OHK).
- 6The Neckbreaker is particularly effective against Cephalos and Duvalias, which are parasitic mutations that can spawn from common enemy types.
- 7Cephalos are tentacle-like appendages from the head, while Duvalias are clam-like shells from the torso.
- 8Flash grenades or rounds are effective against Plagas spawns, neutralizing them instantly. Explosive hand grenades can also be used.
- 9If unable to use flash or explosives, Plagas can be tackled manually, though they pose a greater threat than their hosts.
Tips
- Practice headshots with your pistol to set up melee attacks.
- Learn the timing and positioning for different melee attacks, such as the Straight, Uppercut, and Neckbreaker.
- Utilize melee attacks, especially the Neckbreaker, to prevent the spawn of Las Plagas.
- Mastering melee attacks is crucial for maximizing time bonuses and achieving higher ranks.
- Focus on efficient enemy takedowns to conserve ammo and extend the timer.
