Master Mission 1-3, Public Assembly, in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D! Learn the best melee strategies to defeat Majini and earn bonus time for a high score.

Alright, let's dive into Mission 1-3, Public Assembly. This is where you'll really start to get a feel for combat against actual enemies. You'll be facing off against several Town Majini who are going to hop over some concrete walls near a shack. Your main goal here is to take them all down.

Here's the key strategy: focus on finishing each Majini with a melee attack. You'll want to shoot them in the head, arms, or legs to stun them or knock them down. Once they're staggered, rush in close to get a button prompt for a melee finisher. The exact melee animation will change based on how you stunned them, but the important part is landing that finisher.

Why is melee so important? Each melee kill nets you an extra 5 seconds on the clock. Since every second leftover at the end of a mission is worth 1000 points, racking up these bonus seconds is crucial for getting a high score and that coveted SS rank.

SS-Rank Tips:

• Seriously, don't forget to finish every single Majini with a melee attack. Those 5 bonus seconds add up fast!
• After you defeat the third Majini, position yourself near the right wall. This sets you up perfectly to quickly engage the fourth Majini as they appear, and you'll be in a good spot to handle the fifth one as they run towards you from the other side.
