Resident Evil 4 Remake: Mercenaries Mode – How to Unlock Luis

April 7, 2023 by Matt Villei

You gotta smoke?

With the introduction of the new Mercenaries Mode into Resident Evil 4 Remake, players have the chance to play as characters from the game’s main story that aren’t Leon as they attempt to rack up a lot of points and survive the fun arcade horde mode. One of these characters is Luis, the lovable former Umbrella scientist. While players are able to play as Luis, he isn’t available immediately and needs to be unlocked, so allow me to tell you how! This guide will tell players how to unlock Luis as a playable character in the Mercenaries Mode of Resident Evil 4 Remake.

How To Unlock LuisIn Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries Mode

In order to unlock Luis, you must first play as Mercenaries Mode’s default, character Leon. Playing as Leon, players must achieve at least an A rank on any of the stages available in the new arcade horde mode. Once you achieve an A rank while playing as Leon, Luis will become a playable character with his own loadout of weapons and his own special ability. Players that decide to play as Luis will find that he plays much differently from Leon as where the special agent is able to take on enemies from just about any range, Luis likes to keep his distance. Luis relies on long-range encounters and isn’t too good up close, with a Boot Knife being his only melee weapon. Despite this weak close-quarters weapon, he does have a decent mid to close-range option in the powerful Red-9 pistol while his SR M1903 sniper rifle is used to take out enemies before they even get a chance to get close. 

Just like the other characters that are playable in Mercenaries, Luis has a unique Mayhem Mode ability. Mayhem Mode is a special ability that you can activate whenever the bar at the bottom of the screen is filled. The ability is unique for each character and can really turn the tide if you find yourself getting overrun or simply want to rack up a giant combo. For Luis’ ability, he gains a slight speed boost and will be able to place down bundles of dynamite on the ground that will detonate after a short period of time or when shot.
