Get ready for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D! This guide breaks down the game's Mercenaries history, core mechanics, and what this standalone title brings to the table. Learn about skills, weapon sets, and mission strategies.

Hey there, fellow Mercs player! So, you're diving into Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D? Awesome choice! While the Mercenaries mode has been around since Resident Evil 3, most of us probably remember it best from RE4 and RE5. RE4 was all about that sweet kill chain combo and bonus chests for points, while RE5 really pushed high scores by having you clear out 150 enemies and use melee to extend that precious time limit.

RE5's Mercenaries, with its online co-op and leaderboards, became a bit of a cult hit, right? People still actively compete and share runs on YouTube! Now, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is the first time this mode gets its own game. It pulls elements from both RE4 and RE5, feeling a lot like RE5 but with that extra tension you'd expect from RE4. A cool new feature here is the ability to equip skills, giving you upgrades that can really help boost your score. Plus, you can swap weapon sets, letting each character start with different gear.

This guide is going to walk you through every mission with strategies to help you nail those high scores – not just SS-ranks, but truly impressive scores! We'll also break down characters, weapons, list out all the skills with their descriptions, and cover the full medal list.

Quick heads-up: I'm still polishing this guide, so you might find a few rough edges or sections that aren't totally fleshed out yet. I'm working on adding more details, especially for the character breakdowns, so check back as it gets updated!
