the first encounter with the regenerator did a major decrease on my ammo and health

Shoot for head, legs, melee, then knife on ground.

Easy I assume?

Try Pro, it's actually pretty challenging, even for a vet like myself. I'm of course talking about the first run, not the tenth, where you have the Chicago Typewriter, Handcannon, and InfiniteLauncher. Oh and the PLR gun.

yes. it turned out easy. never thought regenerators would decrease later on in the game.... i am playing the pro difficulty now, and yes i already have the chicago typewriter and the infinite launcher and have used the typewriter on my 2nd run on normal mode, i haven't unlocked the lazer and hand cannon yet..

You'll get the Plaga Removal Laser after completing Pro, for free.

If you want the handcannon, which you get for free once you unlock it, you just have to upgrade it, you have to get 5 stars on all levels, with all characters....it sounds tedious but you learn how to use each of the characters pretty well though.

I'm sure you get how it works, get a big combo, don't die, and just try to make the most of the time you're given(the castle level I think is the best one for a big score).

Leon is one character I found difficult to use, his weapons seem mediocre to some of the others. His shotgun is his saving grave, keep that in mind. Hold it in position for a second before you pull the trigger and it will do it's job.

HUNK is one of the best, especially for the first level. Ada and Wesker both have snipers which are pretty effective.

Jack has his arm, nuff said.

I have RE4 on GC, Ps2 & Wii, and I garauntee that everytime I played through Mercs to get the Handcanon, Leon gave me trouble. You'll get it eventually, even if it's just barely meeting the required score, which I think is 60,000 right, for 5 STARS?

It's 40,000 in RE5, I think I remember that they took it down about 20,000 from RE4's Mercs, since RE5's is technically more difficult, the real-time inventory and all.

I found using Leon to be rather easy, I have 5 stars for him on every level except the military base (I got bored before I could get every stage with 5 stars on every character). Just kept throwing grenades and shotgunning everything. Ada was the one that has caused me the most trouble playing as...

Does he have any grenades, I don't remember?

Shotgun, good for crowd control, bosses, etc. The pistol good for regular ganado kills.

It pales in comparision though. Ada's got the mahcine gun, grenades, sniper, pistol. HUNK has got an easy single weapon, full auto, and grenades, not to mention one of the better melee's. Krauser's bow is ownage, and his melee's are no different. Wesker has pretty much the same stuff as Ada, pistol, magnum, sniper, grenades. All in all, Leon just seemed a bit plain.

yes leon has few items (no grenades) and he is a heavy character, so it's really a pain to be leon. ada's got a lot in her inventory and her favorite colored grenades and she and her weapons are fast. i find krauser powerful and wesker too but few ammo but has alot of grenades.. i also find hunk powerful

HUNK and Krauser are the best characters for RE4 Mercs.

Leon didn't have grenades? I still keep finding them and getting them from enemies. After I have about ten grenades I just go berserk, resulting in 5 stars.

really... i'd go try that then

You only need to find a few grenades and use them against bosses combined with shotgun. That always worked for me.

If you find a lot, then you're welcome to go crazy on the enemies

I haven't played RE4 Mercs in awhile....though I do remember that the enemies didn't obstruct your throwing path and keep your grenades that you just threw right in your face. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten burned by my own incendiary, or had to take a few steps back before the frag exploded.

sorry but i already have completed every character in every stage at 5 stars.. all weapons are unlocked

Cool. Unfortunately you then have to spend, not quote a million, but near that amount to upgrade your free handcannon.
