RAID MODE MISSIONS & UNLOCKABLES
Raid Mode is easily the best part of Resident Evil Revelations. It mixes the famed Mercenaries mode with some light RPG elements, such as loot, leveling up, and enemies with special statuses. I won’t lie though, my favorite part of Raid Mode is that you get to play as Jessica…
Every three episodes you complete in the campaign will unlock more Raid stages (for a total of 20, plus a bonus level). There are also multiple difficulties for each Raid stage, where you’ll face tougher enemies but get better rewards.
Since you’ll already be familiar with the game by now, my only advice is to keep your ammo and grenades fully stocked before starting each stage. You can re-up in the Store. After a few stages you should have a decent machine gun, which will be your weapon of choice going forward. Keep switching out your old weapons for the best machine gun at your disposal and using the best upgrades you’ve found. You’ll want to take a rifle with you for more powerful enemies, and then eventually a magnum when you finally get one. Save your grenades for mini-bosses.
Legendary Weapon: Obtain a super rare weapon
Unlock: New outfit – Parker 3
My first “super rare weapon” was the Drake, which I unlocked during Stage 9. I was level 9.
Legendary Raider: Obtain all super rare weapons
Unlock: New outfit
- Drake (double-barreled dragon shotgun)
- High Roller (AK-47) starting appearing in the Store at around level 13. I had one drop during a stage shortly after that.
- The Pale Rider (level 19 magnum with an extremely long barrel and 10K damage) appeared in the Store when I had completed Stage 19 and had about 100000 BP in my bank. It was $70K, but well worth it.
The fourth weapon is the Muramasa, a legendary rifle, which has been reported to unlock as appear as early as level 12.
Muramasa tips were submitted by Glenn Van dormolen, Rinni, Elisabeth Elvestad.
Reach player level 5
Unlock: New outfit – Jill 2
For every mission or stage you complete, you’re rewarding equal amounts of BP (money for the Store) and experience, based on your performance. Generally speaking, you’ll level up once per mission, assuming you get an S or A rank. By the time you to Stage 20, you might be level 18 or so, but going back and grinding out some BP or missions (see below) will help.
Stage 10 is good for early grinding, since you can complete it in less than three minutes.
Stage 17 is great for grinding to 20 or 25, since it can be completed in less than five minutes. Especially if you have a mission(s) for the shield mutants, this can be very lucrative.
Once you complete CHASM difficulty, TRENCH difficulty opens up, and the very first level will reward you with 20000 BP/experience, so there’s not a lot of reason to stay behind and replay CHASM stages other than getting all S ranks and mopping up certain missions.
Reach player level 10
Unlock: New outfit – Jessica 1
Reach player level 20
Unlock: New outfit – Parker 2
Reach player level 30
Unlock: New outfit
Clear all stages on CHASM difficulty
Unlock: TRENCH difficulty Raid Mode stages
Unlock: New outfit – Raymond 1
It takes roughly three hours to finish the first 20 stages of Raid Mode.
Clear all stages on TRENCH difficulty
Unlock: ABYSS difficulty Raid Mode stages
Unlock: New outfit
Enemies on TRENCH difficulty start at level 17.
Clear all stages on CHASM difficulty with S Rank
Unlock: Honor – Color 1
This is not difficult at all once you’ve leveled up, and you’ll probably get about half of the S ranks just playing normally. Remember to avoid damage, keep your accuracy high, and know where you’re going and you should nail the S rank. I thought I bombed a few stages but still ended up getting it (though I also thought I did well on a couple of stages and ended up getting an A…).
Use a very powerful shotgun to ensure your accuracy score is high/perfect.
Clear all stages on TRENCH difficulty with S Rank
Unlock: Honor – Color 2
Ghost Ship 100 percent Cleared: Find the real goal area in the ship
Unlock: New outfit
The Ghost Ship is the bonus level (Stage 21). Enemies start at level 1 but quickly begin to get more powerful. You’ll basically need to run from one side of the ship to the other. It gets hard, and dying means you’ll have to start all over again.
To make your life easier, level up a bit before trying this (25 or 30 recommended), come fully stocked, and use a Handgun for as long as you can, so you don’t waste your more powerful weapons on weak enemies. Good luck!
Note: If you destroy the gold token at the beginning of the stage, you’ll get a C rank.
