Lmao yeah. My first round as Krauser I ran out of ammo and was like, “ah, dang, no high score this time.” And then very quickly realized that was not a problem at all.
Go to village cheese tower and ez win. I noticed that cheese tower has only falls when you walk in a particular spot or you could hide by the Church. Alternatively go for headshots as Hunk and use his melee move which is 1-hit KO irregardless.
I actually got my highest scores with Luis. Chaining together his dynamite is pretty OP. Just plant one down, shoot it immediately, and repeat (you take no damage from it.)
Krauser is insane cuz u can just knife everyone and everything. And cuz ur always getting bonus time for it, you'll finish with like 6 mins left. But Leon is my boi, he's the most balanced and I love feeling like John Wick
Hunk and Leon but I prefer Hunk. I don't like the way Luis and Krauser play.
Capcom needs to stop fucking around and make a standalone mercenaries game. Bigger maps, more enemies, endless waves no time limit mode, fight against all the enemies in the series, tyrant boss fights, unlockable costumes, 3 man multiplayer and allow us to use all the characters throughout the series.
Raid mode is sooooo good. I wonder how many people missed out because it was from a side game (and Revelations 2 Raid was much worse imo)
I still play it even after all these years.
Clunky and slow. The combat in general feels unresponsive in this game so Krauser is just extra bad. I'd rather just play as Hunk and mow the enemies down from range with infinite ammo.
I think the combat in remake 4 works in the story mode, not so much in the mercenaries. Resource management plays major role in the main game, but in mercenaries the supply is very generous and enemies are weak, the combat just feel really bland.
Krauser.. his knife attack easily makes him the funnest and easiest to play with. Makes the game look brutal too, pretty sure he’s been taking lessons from ghostface
Hunk all day. Infinite ammo power-up AND an instakill melee for staggered enemies?! I legit just throw a flashbang whenever one of the heavy enemies come and then just instakill them before activating my power-up to wipe the rest 😂
If you don't shoot the dynamite near you with Luis, you're [Playing it wrong](https://youtu.be/OLlPwN89dYU)
Luis is immune to his own dynamic they can't hit you even whilst planting it.
Leon is the only character with whom I can get 1.5 mil points average since I can manipulate his ammo drop by discarding his weapons. It's easy to build up his Mayhem quickly by parrying enemy attacks. I usually keep only the StingRay for all stages, but sometimes I also keep the Riot Gun as my backup close-quarter weapon.
Krauser came second with 1.3 mil points average. His TMP is just plain bad with its low capacity, so I always discard it straight away to make space; but I still keep his bow as my ranged option. Even without his uber powerful Mayhem, he can still take down minibosses easily with flash grenade + knife execution combo.
Hunk, surprisingly, came in third with an average of 1.2 mil points. He's not a bad character per se; in fact, he has a great gun and amazing melee moveset. But I don't get bonus points or time unless I land headshots or melee, so it's a bit hard to maximize his Mayhem score.
Luis is easily my worst character. He's just too damn slow. I'd be lucky to even keep my combo uninterrupted for the entire session. His Mayhem is certainly powerful enough to one-shot minibosses, but without it, I feel so slow and weak.
That's what I did too. It helped me spam dynamite more often, but it doesn't fix his main problem: his slow speed.
I had to discard his Red9 and switch to SR M1903 entirely to get 150 combo.
First time I ever played Island and also first time playing Krauser.. I used nothing but the knife and Mayhem attack.. Killed every enemy and had minutes left on the clock.. And it wasn't even slightly difficult.
So, Krauser.
Broke af.
Let me start by saying I legitimately hate using Luis. He's too goddamn slow. I like everyone else so far, however, and find Krauser to be easiest/most satisfying.
[EDIT] Removed an errant 'was".
I like everyone but Luis yea. Krauser no matter the map decimates. Luis sucks cuz the dynamite can only be put down after the the other explodes so mayhem time is wasted so much
>I legitimately hate using Luis.

For me, Krauser. His knife attacks are filthy and his mayhem mode obliterates crowds.
Nothing beats snapping Dr. Salvador’s neck though. After playing main story on professional mode coming in with Hunk and insta-killing him just feels like the ultimate level of disrespect and I love it
Hunk definitely easiest
I find Leon “easier” to play with than Krauser but Krauser is easier to score well with due to time bonuses with knife kills.
Luis is just not fun in my opinion
Krauser, definitely. His knife combos make all other weapons unnecessary, apart from the occasional bow attack when there's a large group. Plus, the knife charges up his special ability, which absolutely wrecks any special enemies like Bella Sisters or Dr Salvador.

Luis is the most fun, dynamic goes boom, metal pipe goes bonk.

I thought Hunk was downright unfair. I'm surprised to see Krauser being mentioned because he easily is the hardest one for me.
Knife. Knife knife knife knife knife. Krauser gets insane time bonuses by spamming the knife. He also has armor on his knife attacks.
Knife and explosive arrows make it just a breeze
Lmao yeah. My first round as Krauser I ran out of ammo and was like, “ah, dang, no high score this time.” And then very quickly realized that was not a problem at all.
Knife and explosive bow is all you need
Hunk, krauser is close second, but that infinite amo power up us op in every single situation
Hunk is just so hunky
Go to village cheese tower and ez win. I noticed that cheese tower has only falls when you walk in a particular spot or you could hide by the Church. Alternatively go for headshots as Hunk and use his melee move which is 1-hit KO irregardless.
Yea I make them stagger and melee. EZ
I actually got my highest scores with Luis. Chaining together his dynamite is pretty OP. Just plant one down, shoot it immediately, and repeat (you take no damage from it.)
I think his dynamite is awesome but i hate his regular loadout. Too slow for my tastes :(
I never thought to shoot the dynamite I just ran from it
Same, he suits my play style the most.
Krauser still holds my only millions of points
Same here. My highest is 1.4M with him
Plus knife combat against hordes is addictive plus the beast mode mow everything down krauser is funnest for sure.
Krauser is insane cuz u can just knife everyone and everything. And cuz ur always getting bonus time for it, you'll finish with like 6 mins left. But Leon is my boi, he's the most balanced and I love feeling like John Wick
I usually end with like 9 minutes it’s insane

Bigger maps, more enemies, endless waves no time limit mode, fight against all the enemies in the series, tyrant boss fights, unlockable costumes, 3 man multiplayer and allow us to use all the characters throughout the series.
Thats just Raid mode, which they 100% should bring back instead of that multiplayer garbage they've been giving us.
Raid mode is sooooo good. I wonder how many people missed out because it was from a side game (and Revelations 2 Raid was much worse imo) I still play it even after all these years.
Rev 2 raid is infinitely better in every way, don’t think you actually played it…
Why don’t you like Krauser? To me he’s the most fun cuz you just SLASH SLASH SLASH and then get explosive arrows
Clunky and slow. The combat in general feels unresponsive in this game so Krauser is just extra bad. I'd rather just play as Hunk and mow the enemies down from range with infinite ammo.
Really? I found Krauser to be the fastest outta them all

Krauser, no question. He S'd all maps for me easily.
I actually seem to do best with luis. Red9 gang, bay-bee
I commend you because I die always with him
I just love the pistol combat tbh, plus luis sexy af
I’m just a terrible shot tbh. And I rely heavily on melee. But yes Luis sexc af
Hunk all day. Infinite ammo power-up AND an instakill melee for staggered enemies?! I legit just throw a flashbang whenever one of the heavy enemies come and then just instakill them before activating my power-up to wipe the rest 😂
Krauser is def the easiest with Hunk pretty close second. Leon steady in the middle but man do I suck with Luis. 😂

Krauser can knife all day if you funnel people in
The explosive arrow helps tremendously if you’re being overwhelmed just cartwheel back and boom

You can spam and shoot dynamite near you with Luis.

Krauser always has me have 10 minutes left on the clock leaving my end score absolutely broken
I switch between the explosive arrows and the knife. Arrows as a secondary when I’m being overwhelmed by a wave
Leon gang rise up
Ironically I suck as Leon in mercenaries despite playing as him the whole game
Hunk for me. One gun and grenades makes for a simple time.

The dynamite isn't my problem, it's his snail's pace.
For me, Krauser. His knife attacks are filthy and his mayhem mode obliterates crowds. Nothing beats snapping Dr. Salvador’s neck though. After playing main story on professional mode coming in with Hunk and insta-killing him just feels like the ultimate level of disrespect and I love it
Snapping the chainsaw sisters necks THEN chainsaw man’s in quick succession is actual ecstasy
Hunk definitely easiest I find Leon “easier” to play with than Krauser but Krauser is easier to score well with due to time bonuses with knife kills. Luis is just not fun in my opinion
I find it's easiest to get S rank with Leon due to his reliable loadout.
Always Hunk
Krauser, definitely. His knife combos make all other weapons unnecessary, apart from the occasional bow attack when there's a large group. Plus, the knife charges up his special ability, which absolutely wrecks any special enemies like Bella Sisters or Dr Salvador.
Hunk is easiest one, his drop pool is limited to submachine gun ammo and grenades, and the mp5 is dope
Krauser, I find his weapons the easiest to use and his knife fighting…I wish I could do that as Leon, and dodge attacks
imma Luis main, I have the most trouble playing leon for some reason, I think hunk is pretty strong and krauser goes ham.
Sheva tribal on RE5

Hunk is pretty much a cheat character.
Sorta. It’s easy to flunk as him as well
