Mercenaries is a long-standing mode within the Resi franchise and it’s a major part of Resident Evil Village. However, just like in other Resi games, you don’t unlock Mercenaries from the off.

To unlock Mercenaries in Resident Evil Village, you must first complete the game on any difficulty, which will unlock the Extra Content Shop. Here’s where you can buy tonnes of new weapons and extras, including Mercenaries.

Mercenaries costs 10 CP (Completion Point) and you should have more than enough CP if you’ve already completed the game. You can earn CP by completing challenges, which will also be available in your pause menu to check out when you continue your game in New Game+ after hitting continue from the main menu.

For those not in the know, Mercenaries is a super fun race against time to eliminate as many enemies as possible and rack up the highest score. It hasn’t been seen in Resident Evil for a little and was rather curiously absent in the Resident Evil 3 remake, so it’s good to have it back.

Resident Evil Village is available now for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, and Xbox One.
