Recommended Videos

Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake brings back most things fans loved from the original PS1 release, including the classic 4th Survivor mode, where you get to play as the iconic Umbrella agent HUNK. Here’s how to unlock and play the 4th Survivor mode in Resident Evil 2.

Here are the general steps you need to take to unlock 4th Survivor Mode in Resident Evil 2:

  • Beat the game with either Leon or Claire.
  • Beat New Game 2nd Run with either Leon or Claire.

First things first, you’ll need to have beaten the story campaign. You’ll start the game with either Leon or Claire, and once you beat their story, you’ll unlock a New Game 2nd Run mode for whichever character you didn’t pick first.

Once you beat New Game 2nd Run with that character, you’ll be rewarded with 4th Survivor as an extra mode you can check out in Resident Evil 2.

After beating New Game 2nd Run, head back to the game’s main menu and choose the Extra Modes option. You should see 4th Survivor here, so select that and you’ll be able to start playing.

In this mode, HUNK is tasked with escaping the police station and getting to an extraction point where a chopper will take him to safety.

The mode starts you off in the sewers, where the game basically forces you to run through the entire map in the game before you’ll finally reach your end point. And yes, there will be tons of enemies for you to kill or avoid along the way.

HUNK is equipped with a machine gun, handgun, pistol, and shotgun. He also gets a few sub-weapons and healing items, but it’s important to note that you won’t be able to pick up any resources in this mode. This means that you have to make do with what you have; if you run out of resources, you’re on your own.

And that’s all you need to know about how to unlock and play the 4th Survivor mode in Resident Evil 2. Be sure to check our Resident Evil 2 guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
