When you’ve finished your spooky adventure through the nonspecific European countryside in Resident Evil Village, it’s nice to unwind in a bonus mode like The Mercenaries. No wacky plot intrigue, no sadness, no grievous bodily harm- well, less grievous bodily harm, anyway. Just you, your trusty guns, and a whole lot of things with an attraction to not living, and there are plenty of incentives to do well in providing that desire. When you complete a stage in The Mercenaries in Resident Evil Village, you’re given a score, rank, and rewards based on a few factors of performance.
- Score: Killing enemies increases your score. You’ll also get additional points for any leftover Lei you have at the end of the stage, whether it be dropped from enemies or from stuff sold to the Duke.
- Combo: If you dispatch enemies in rapid succession without waiting too long in between kills or taking damage yourself, your combo meter rises, putting a multiplier on your score.
- Time: More leftover time at the end of a round will add an additional bonus multiplier to your score. This is why you should always break the yellow power ups to receive time bonuses, and not faff about on the maps too long.
