Resident Evil 4 Professional No Bonus Weapons
William Dupere
I see in a lot of guides that special weapons void the S+ rank and that you can only get it on a fresh save but they all say it's OK to use the Chicago Sweeper with infinite ammo? But isn't that a bonus weapon? And I thought you can't access bonus weapons on a fresh save?
You can access bonus weapons on a fresh save, you can also get s+ with them. You're confusing this with the requirment for the handcannon that says beat professional on a new save without special weapons.
Yes you can use the special weapons for S+ but to unlock their infinite ammo you'd probably have to beat the village anyway. And for professional S+ you need to do it all in less than 15 saves under 5:30.
Edit: My bad i misread your question, infinite rocket launcher is only available in ng+ in order to get s+ it has to be a new game. So no rocket launcher you can only use the chicago typewriter and primal knife for s+ but managing to get their infinite uogrades in under 15 saves and a strict time is already hard.
Got it thanks. Can you upgrade the typewriter to infinite ammo on like an easier difficulty and then use it on Professional or do the exclusive upgrades not carry over across save files? I'm trying to make this plat as easy as possible, lol.
Not only can you get the infinite ammo earlier with the Ticket, you can also use the money you saved up for a rocket launcher or knife/damage upgades instead. Rocket launcher will help you save time on Salazar and Saddler.
Could be done in a few mins, guess that depends how quick you are killing the Mutt and how exactly its triggered to spawn, for example, must you go into the house only, go upstairs or go in the attic, or must u pick up a file.......
I think going in the attic spawns it. But you can skip this request IF you were able to find 2 spinels from loot boxes on your way. Then you can just do the 1st request in the castle instead, which will get you to 30 as well.
Also, I don't think you realize how much money the Exclusive Upgrade Ticket saves. It removes all the cost for all the upgrades in the Capacity and Reload Speed category, that is a lot of money. If you wanted to get the infinite ammo with money instead you would have to not only pay for every single of those upgrades, but also for all the Damage upgrades as well which will cost you like half a million, if not more easily. You would probably have to save up all your money throughout the game to be able to get the exclusive uprade for the Chicago Sweeper, at that point you are already near the end of the game, so what is the point of getting the infinite ammo then? So it is actually the easiest question to answer -> 30 Spinels are absolutely the better choice, it is not even close.
Apparently there's a chicken hat that cuts damage in half but you need to beat it on Hardcore with a S+ to get it, which isn't even its own trophy, but should make Professional mode easier. I'm gonna have to beat this game like 37 times when all is said and done.
I can't recommend doing the savage mutt request on professional without infinite ammo. Triggering the dog to spawn is not a big deal and costs you like 1min 30s, but killing that thing takes a lot of ammo. And you have to deal with the village people to first. You are basically dumping all your ammo into 8 spinels - and that right before the cabin siege. This is suicide. Rather do request 1-7, skip 8 and do 9 at the beginning of the castle.
Welcome to the Resident Evil 4 Remake Trophy Guide! Following the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 it is now time for the remake of the genre-defining classic from 2005. While being very close to the original game in terms of story and locations, the game got changed a lot and will catch even veterans by surprise. Gameplay is similar to the previous remakes, but faster and more action-focused. The parry mechanic is a new addition and is definitely something you will have to master throughout your multiple playthroughs of the game.
There are a total of 4 special weapons you can unlock. Costumes and accessories can be changed in the Story Menu and will be active for all your savefiles and will not void any challenges or trophies.
The S Rank requirements are very lenient. Kill enemies in quick succession to keep up your combo and get as many kills as possible before dying or time running out. If you can do x100 kills combo (displayed in top right corner) you should get enough points for an S-Rank (S+ and S++ not required). Play as Leon, activate the green bubbles for bonus time and yellow bubbles for instant Mayhem Mode. When stronger enemies spawn, activate Mayhem Mode with + and shoot them with the Sniper or Shotgun for a quick kill. Other than that just try to stay alive as long as possible and kill enemies in quick succession to keep up your combo. You can shoot enemies in the leg with the pistol and then perform a kick when the button prompt shows to instant kill them. This saves ammo and also hurts surrounding enemies. When your health gets low press to open inventory and consume a health spray or herbs.
In the first playthrough you will want to get all collectibles and chapter-specific trophies out of the way. Playing on Assisted is recommended to make the chapter-specific trophies easier but you can also play on Standard if you prefer a more authentic horror-survival experience. Simply follow the collectible guide and you will get everything possible on the first playthrough: Resident Evil 4 Remake Collectible Guide. Should you get stuck anywhere you can also refer to Resident Evil 4 Remake Walkthrough.
The easiest method for both S+ runs is pretty much the same. Finish the Village Section using everything you can find and finish all the Merchant Requests -> this will get you 31 Spinels. Then in the Castle (Chapter 7) you can buy the Exclusive Upgrade Ticket for 30 Spinels and use it on the Chicago Sweeper or Handcannon, which are the Extra Content Shop Weapons. You now have a weapon with infinite ammo for the rest of the run, making it pretty easy. Also try to save enough money to buy 2 rocket launchers. One before Salazar fight and one before Saddler fight. It saves time since the Rocket Launcher defeats bosses in one hit. Finishing Hardcore with the S+ rank will unlock the Chicken Hat in the bonus menu which greatly reduces damage taken and can be equipped if you still need to do a No Healing playthrough.

The second phase of the fight has Mndez swinging on the wooden beams below the ceiling. He will back up to the back of the arena and will throw burning wooden beams at you which you have to dodge by running left or right or grabbing 2 barrels which you can shoot to explode. He will also come at you with a stab which you will have avoid by moving away from his line of attack. Once up close he will attack with a few moves that you can either dodge with or by moving to the side. When he is up close it is your opportunity to use a short-range weapon for some good damage. When he is far away it is better to focus on dodging and only using long-range weapons like a sniper rifle.Wave Goodbye, Right Hand

An easy spot for this is in Chapter 3. Shortly after the church you will reach the entrance of the Quarry. At the Quarry Entrance (just after a blue merchant request letter on the wall), there will be lots of crows on the ground. Throw a flash grenade at them, it will kill all crows in one go and they count for the trophy.Never Heard It Coming
