It’s finally here. Resident Evil 5 is the long-awaited continuation of Capcom’s storied survival horror series, and the game has a lot to offer. Arguments abound as to whether RE5 is a true Resident Evil game; whether it’s survival horror at all, in fact. But there’s something Resident Evil 5 has that none of its predecessors did — a lengthy adventure that warrants playing again, and again, and again. Single-player or multiplayer, there’s a lot to see in RE5. And surely, there’s a lot to do, as well.

Chris Redfield has been conspicuously absent as a playable character in canon Resident Evil releases recently. Resident Evil 4 brought back the hero of the second iteration in the series, Leon, but now Chris is back, on the hunt for his long-lost partner, Jill Valentine. His travels bring him to Africa, where he suspects not only Jill can be found, but where answers surrounding the mysteries of the Resident Evil series can be uncovered as well. Resident Evil 5 also introduces a new partner for Chris, one that will play an integral role in the game.

But Resident Evil 5 isn’t without its challenges. Those expecting a quintessential exercise in survival horror can continue to look elsewhere, because RE5 turns the series’ conventions upside down. Instead of carefully maneuvering, hoarding ammunition and avoiding fights, Resident Evil 5 stressed third-person combat above all else, and it will take some getting used to, whether you’re a veteran of the series or not.

Of course, that’s where IGN Guides comes into play. Our complete guide to Resident Evil 5 will have you covered. Our basics section is a detailed rundown of RE5’s fundamentals, with our patented ten tips resource. Our walkthrough will quite literally walk-you-through all sixteen of the game’s challenging chapters. The inventory section of our guide will give you vital details on all of the weapons, gear and items you encounter during your adventure. In the treasures section, you can find the lowdown on all of the valuable treasures you will find in the game, treasures that will be your primary source of precious money. And of course, the section of the guide covering emblems will bring you across the locations of all thirty well-hidden BSAA insignias. That leads right into the final section of our guide — unlockables — because RE5 is chock-full of ‘em.

Cheat: Inventory Duplication

This requires two very cooperative human players, and a Live connection.

1 // In the Inventory Lobby, invite a friend.

2 // Start the level (use 1.2 to make it easy). Have the host hand items (Rotten Eggs, First Aid, Ammo) off to the guest for duplication.

3 // With a full inventory, have the guest leave the game (it should say “All unsaved progress will be lost” — select “Yes”).

5 // After selecting “Yes,” another question for the guest will appear asking whether or not to save status and ammo. Choose “Yes” to save and you will have all the passed-on inventory saved.

6 // Now, back to the host: Quit out of the game, but at the second question, choose “No” and do not save ammo and status.

7 // Restart the game with the two characters and you’ll both have the ammo and items. Duplication successful! (Note: You cannot do this with weapons as you cannot hand them off to your partner.)

Addendum: A popular money-making strategy involves duplicating Rotten Eggs. These are worth $2,000 a pop, and 5 can be crammed in each inventory slot. That means you can eventually be duplicating $90,000 each time. Finding Rotten Eggs can be tough; they drop randomly in later levels. Also, for two people to increase the amount of eggs quickly, you’ll have to pass them back and forth, alternating who is saving and who isn’t.

Unlock the following filters by performing the actions below:

Unlockable: Rocket Launcher with Infinite Ammo

To unlock the Rocket Launcher with unlimited ammo, beat the game in under 5 hours (on any difficulty). Note: this must be toggled on under “Bonus Features.”

Unlockable: Costumes

These additional costumes for use in Campaign Mode can be unlocked by performing the following actions:

Hint: BSAA Emblems

Below is a list of how many BSAA Emblems can be found on any given chapter in the game. There are thirty emblems total, and not each chapter has one.

Hint: Unlimited Money and Ammo

Unlike in Resident Evil 4, your ammo and money carry over every time you replay a level. Collect money and ammo in a chapter; then pause, save and quit. Restart the chapter and you can collect everything a second time. This works well in chapters 1-2, 3-1 (the hovercraft level) and 4-1 (caves). As a general rule, this “farming” method works especially well in levels in which you can collect weapons worth money and ample hidden treasures like jewels and beetles. For instance, 3-1 has copious amounts of treasures, and a Rocket Launcher on the sunken boat that you can repeatedly collect.

Hint: Wesker’s Dash Attack

When using the unlockable character Wesker in Mercenaries, you can click the Right Analog Stick (sometimes called R3) to initiate a dash. Press both Triggers while dashing to do a knee attack. Warning: This move will drain your own life meter, so use it sparingly!

Hint: Weapon List

Below is a full list of weapons and how to find / unlock them. Most can be found in silver suitcases. The Dragunov is in a locker. Others are bought after fully upgrading a weapon.

Handguns

Shotguns

Machine Guns

Rifles

Magnums

Special Guns

Hint: Discarding Weapons in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode, ammunition drops are based on the type of weapons you have. Use this to your advantage by discarding weapons you don’t use. This causes more ammunition to be dropped for other weapons. Example: For Wesker (Stars), drop the Samurai Edge to find more Magnum and Shotgun ammo.

Hint: Inventory Reload in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode you can reload your weapon by pulling up your Inventory screen and combining the ammunition manually with the gun (using the “Move” command button). Once you get used to this, you can use it to your advantage since it is a lot faster then reloading your shotgun, for instance, on the fly. More importantly, you can use this trick while climbing a ladder or when you are a jumping down to really save some time — and possibly your neck.

Hint: Majini Distraction

You can click both analog sticks to taunt or goad nearby Majini into coming at you instead of your partner. Have your shotgun ready. “C’mon, c’mon!”

Hint: Alternate Way to Unlock Professional Difficulty

If you get invited to play a level on Professional via Xbox Live with someone who has unlocked Professional Difficulty in their game, it will then be unlocked in yours.

Hint: Unlocking the Infinite Rocket Launcher

To acquire the Infinite Rocket Launcher, you must achieve a total game time of under 5:00:00. You don’t have to play the game all the way through in one run to get a low total time — you can just go chapter by chapter, using the Chapter Select, lowering your time in each. Your final time is a total of your lowest runs through the chapters.
