How'd you do it?

Thank you so much, I was struggling to get 5 stars on waterworld with Hunk and I got it really easily thanks to some of your tips

Happy to hear it ^^

Thanks 😊 halp't alot you deserve more do you have a video about challenges?

[@Sarcosuchas]

Many thanks ^^ And yes, I have a Challenge guide as well ^^

[@diablerieTV]

Very much appreciate you making this video! Seeing how a real pro plays is awesome and this is all of the info that I need but I don’t have the free time to grind out the game to learn everything myself! Thanks dude!

[@Sarcosuchas]

Glad it was helpful! ^^

[@kramerfortuna7228]

I cannot thank you enough for this! I had no idea how the spawns worked, so I kept trying to hold out for as long as I could (after I heard that a good strategy for Leon was to hide in the barn) and I would eventually run out of enemies and drop the combo. Also, that was some EXCELLENT gameplay in the background.

[@Sarcosuchas]

Glad to hear it helped and many thanks ^^

[@DavidBlack666]

Hell yes, just got the handcannon! Thank you for making this guide, it was really helpful!

[@Sarcosuchas]

Glad I could help ^^

[@The_Mr.Minecraft]

Great video, if youre still doing re4 vr content, you should consider making a 5 star route guide, as the point increase on quest 2 to 125000 for 5 stars makes it quite a bit more difficult, especially if enemy spawns arent perfectly in your favor

[@Sarcosuchas]

There's no need for such a guide when this guide already covers the relevant information. The spawns are infinite on this version unlike the original, so memorizing the spawn lines and moving between them is all that's needed.

[@schtolteheim_reinbach_ii707]

One small tip that i have, when activating Bonus Time. You need to kill as many things as fast as you can. I kept using Wesker melee strikes. Which are way slower than just 1 handing the sniper rifle

[@Sarcosuchas]

I did explain and show this in the video

[@caiuscolley]

awsome, i just finished re4 vr and started playing mercinaries, this guide has helped alot :-)

[@robertadair4075]

Thanks this is a big help Sarcosuchas. I am currently stuck on Leon in the village struggle to get to 60,000, but I will soon. It was good when you said this was the hardest one.

[@Sarcosuchas]

Keep in mind that on VR, the 5 star requirement is 125,000 and not 60,000 like on the original versions.

[@MacintoshGaming1]

The only issue I come across when trying to 5 star these missions is ammo and how it'll just disappear or enemies won't drop any it can really screw with your combo and ruin the flow of what your doing cause now you gotta scramble for ammo

[@Sarcosuchas]

On VR ammo doesn't disappear, so if you don't grab it then it'll sit there while you move on and prevent more from dropping.

[@THEUrinalCake]

Woooo just got my 5 stars. Hunk on Village and Castle and Wesker on Island and Dockside. Weirdly my Handcannon isn't showing up at the vendor in game... It definitely said it unlocked.

[@Sarcosuchas]

You can only use the Handcannon in New Game+ by loading a completed game save.

Probably HUNK

[@carterb.]

The grenades in vr function more like an escape plan rather than an offensive tool when I’m playing lol

I just don't bother with them at this point lol

[@Iamaspect693]

I’m curious on what was the hardest challenge for you?

[@Sarcosuchas]

Perhaps Time Rush, initially. But none of the challenges proved extremely difficult for achieving 5 stars for me.

[@GTCrimson]

what is the best charicter for island and dockside i need help

[@Sarcosuchas]

I cover each character in this guide, so you should be able to work it out based on your own playstyle preferences.

[@sargent-dark7272]

What character is best for 5 staring all of them?

[@Sarcosuchas]

That depends on your playstyle, but Krauser is objectively the best character in VR.

[@Mr47jz]

I’ve probably watched this video a dozen times or so. I need 1 more 5 star Completion on castle I’m using hunk the whole time but not having a secondary weapon is a huge downside . But I think this time I’ll get it right… hopefully 🤷‍♂️

[@Sarcosuchas]

I hope you managed to get it ^^

[@urfriendjimbo9433]

here i got yall, want 5 stars on everything, unlock ada, use ada to unlock krauser, use krauser to unlock wesker, use wesker to unlock hunk, go back to all of the levels and beat all of them with hunk.

They need time to recharge, that's why its recommended to go through different loops to keep the flow of enemies.

[@lerat6304]

What's the reasoning behind Village Ganados having more health? Seems like they'd have less, since they're the first enemies in the game

[@Sarcosuchas]

Balancing thing I imagine. They have weaker attacks than most of the other ganado. In turn, Militia ganado deal the most damage but have the least health on average.

Yea how do you dual wield

[@Sarcosuchas]

Hold the handgun in one hand and your main gun in the other..

[@The_peacekeeper_987]

Do you mind making an updated version? Anytime I try your methods don’t work. Like enemies don’t spawn were you say they’re gonna spawn in that finishing move you do on the chainsaw sisters doesn’t work either. Maybe you should make an updated version so I can actually do this.

[@Sarcosuchas]

If my methods aren't working for you then you're not doing them correctly. The enemy spawns are dependant on how many enemies are on screen at a time (maximum 10) and your movements when crossing the spawn lines. The spawn lines shouldn't even cause issue on VR given that there's infinite enemies unlike the original version of the game. I also don't understand how the finishing move on the Chainsaw sisters, presumably you're referring to HUNK's neckbreaker, doesn't work. I assume you mean you are failing to perform the move, as the move always kills them as it is hard-coded into the game and has been since the original Gamecube release.

[@The_peacekeeper_987]

@@Sarcosuchas even if I kill every single person on the map then I run the way he told me to run and no enemy come. Like I almost had four stars on the village with like a four minute left I kept running around the map and I name is responding. When north south east and west went to the house is no enemies.

[@Sarcosuchas]

I suggest updating your game or headset. If you ran through the entire village and all the houses for 4 minutes and not a single enemy appeared, then your game is bugged or the headset has a problem.

[@The_peacekeeper_987]

@@Sarcosuchas I hope so. One more question, how do you doing that finishing move on the chainsaw sisters??

[@Sarcosuchas]

Just like you do any other melee move. Stun them by shooting them in the head, then use the action button to use the move. So, this means your accusation that my tips don't work boils down to you not understanding how to play the game?

[@cathoderayguns]

The only thing lazier than this dogshit asset flip game mode is that most of the game's bonus content is locked behind it so they wouldn't have to do Separate Ways.

[@Sarcosuchas]

You realise that Mercenaries was in the original game too, right? And VR even expanded on it with an exclusive challenge mode. And Separate Ways is just as much of an "asset-flip" as Mercenaries, if not even more so. The most likely reason for not doing Separate Ways was probably one of 3 possibilities. 1. Capcom didn't want them to do it for whatever reason or the contract expired/wasn't renewed. 2. Issues with using the grapple gun feature in VR, though this seems unlikely as it could just be a small scene like melees. 3. For the cutscenes to be displayed well, they would need to be remastered and that has never been done. The PS2 version, which debuted Separate Ways, could not generate real-time cutscenes, so all the cutscenes on that version are video files only. The Separate Ways cutscenes are therefore stuck as 480p videos unless Capcom remakes them from scratch, which is never happening.

[@cathoderayguns]

@@Sarcosuchas I know it was in the original, it sucked then too but at least there was less locked behind it. Now it's not only the garbage original but even worse challenges. That's unfortunate about the cutscenes, I didn't realize that. Mercenaries should still be able to be skipped with cheats or something.

[@Sarcosuchas]

I don't see what sucks about Mercenaries, honestly or why it needs cheats to skip it. It provides a fun challenge and getting the 5 star requirement isn't even that difficult with a bit of practice.

[@cathoderayguns]

@@Sarcosuchas I refuse to play mercenaries longer than the QA team did to unlock the Chicago Typewriter. I beat the game on pro, just give me the goddamn weapons.
