Is There a Mercenaries or Raid Mode in Resident Evil 2?

Resident Evil has always packed in a few extra modes after you finish the story. Whether it’s Wesker mode or Real Survival, there’s always something worth diving back into. That said, some fans might be wondering if there’s a Mercenaries or Raid Mode in Resident Evil 2.

Both modes have been staples in some of the more recent Resident Evil games. The Mercenaries is an added mini-game that lets you play as your favorite character and beat as many monsters on the map as possible to earn a high score. While you’re limited by a countdown, scoring skillful kills and wrecking hourglasses gives you more minutes to keep killing enemies.

Meanwhile, the Raid Mode is another added feature in the Revelations spin-offs. Players must clear a map from the single-player mode that has been rearranged with new enemy layouts. It pretty much works the same way as Mercenaries, except you can customize your weapons, equip skills, and earn EXP to strengthen your character.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like either the Mercenaries or Raid Modes are part of Resident Evil 2. Instead, the PS4 remake comes with the classic 4th Survivor and Tofu Survivor modes.

To play the 4th Survivor in Resident Evil 2, you will need to beat New Game 2nd Run with either character. If you cleared your first run as Claire, you’ll unlock New Game 2nd Run with Leon and vice versa.

Once you manage to beat the 4th Survivor, you will then unlock the Tofu Survivor mode in Resident Evil 2. This mode is essentially a harder version of the same mode in which you play as a block of tofu, and you’re equipped with nothing but knives.

Another mode worth noting is Ghost Survivors, which will be added in the game as free DLC. While Capcom hasn’t revealed much about the upcoming mode, it will allow you to play as multiple characters throughout the series.

There will also be randomized elements, so there’s plenty of replayability there. If anything, it seems like Ghost Survivors is the Resident Evil 2 Remake’s own spin on Mercenaries or Raid Mode.

That’s pretty much everything you need to know about Mercenaries and Raid Mode in Resident Evil 2. If you need some tips and tricks on the game, be sure to check out our handy wiki packed with other useful guides.
