Just unlocked the handcannon today. 125000 on VR is surprisingly easier than getting 60000 on console. i remember it taking me and my friends ages to get the handcannon on console. Certainly helps only needing to do it with one character. HUNK for village and WESKER for all other stages made short work of it. think i got 125000 on castle and island first time with WESKER lol. Also helps having watched these guides and memorizing the levels over the years from playing console.
Indeed, the freedom of movement certainly helps. And these videos weren't intended as guides, whereas I actually did upload full guides. But hey, congrats on getting the handcannon ^^
Thanks for buncha great videos on RE4. I'm a 58 yr old guy who likes to SHOOT real guns and hadn't gamed since late 80's but fell in love with RE4 VR when we bought Oculus Quest 2 for my son's Christmas present. Spent several hundreds hours since, enjoying IT immensely. I'm one 🌟 away from unlocking the HandCannon right now. Reviewing your techniques and approach to different minigames with different characters was EXTREMELY helpful to an old part time (RE4 VR - exclusively) gamer like myself. You're doing great work and I admire your skills! Cheers!
Many thanks. I have full guides with detailed explanations for both Mercenaries and the Challenge Mode that should be of some help if you haven't already seen them. ^^
I've managed to 4 star every map but I've struggled reaching 5 star. I've found your vids to see if there are any tricks that I'm missing that might help with that extra bit of pointage. Thank you for the upload. I think my biggest issue is not keeping the kill counter active long enough. It tends to drop when I go looking for time. Highest I've reached is maybe 30.
Great job coovering all the characters for 5 stars on every map! For classic conditions, you would now unlock the Handcannon lmao. Are you going to try doing the challenges now? The unlockables for them seem really interesting (like big head mode and golden guns)
I have a lot of the VR specific tricks down, but are there some key differences between the normal and VR version? I heard grenades do less damage in VR
I know you would be kicking ass just as usual ^^ That's surprising how they chose to give a knife to Wesker and Re4 versions later haha I'm also seeing that 5 stars score is up to 125 000 now? And last comment but seriously that way of playing remembers me the old days with Doom and Timesplitter 😂
Well, Doom was my first game so I guess I adapt well to that playstyle. And yeah, 5 stars is 125k now, but you only need to get 5 stars on each stage once to unlock the handcannon.
@@themanicman8458 That is correct, the original was only 60,000. Due to the advantages of the freedom of aiming and movement in VR, they increased it to 125,000
Also, you can dual hand the sniper rifle and not hard scope if you shoot it on its side. Just need to try your best to line up the barrel with your target (Watching early, idk if you do it later, will edit if you did)
Do you think that with the increase in points you need to get 5 stars, do you think newcomers will have trouble getting that score or is it to compensate for how VR makes the game easier?
Are the requirements for the handcannon the same as before or have they changed? I just noticed in my game on the rewards screen that it requires "20 stars" and so far I have 4 stars on all maps with Leon, Ada and Krauser but it says I have 16 out of 20 stars.
Yay, finally you get to my Wesky🥰😆 Are the characters pretty much the same like they are on consoles, or are they more even? Will you be going for WR on this now too? If you don't already have them all lol
They're pretty similar, but grenades have been nerfed badly. And yeah, I'm going to go for WR on this version, the leaderboards are down so I can only guess if I have WR or not, but one potential WR is tomorrow's video.
@@Sarcosuchas Lol why am I not surprised? Well I'm sure it won't be long and you'll have all the records here too 😊 But why do you say the grenades are no good?
Welp I'm exactly 5 medals away from the Golden guns unlock but it's the Ashley challenge and God she so annoying like the untouchable one wasn't as much as she is
All of them are perfectly capable, its more down to gameplay and understanding how the game works. I'd recommend checking out my scoring system guide and tips and tricks for each character, as it mostly all applies to VR as well.
@@Roadrin ya thats what i was thinking… was able to bust out the 60 on all maps but 5 stars seems so out of reach for me. I guess i havent really gotten the rhythm of the mode yet. Sucks bc i dont play a ton but would love to go through the game again with all the new weapons. Gimme a glitch or an old school code!! 😩
Spawn lines? Idk where they would be for the castle. If u know u should make a video showing where there are cause that's probably why I find myself looking running around and not a enemy in sight.
@@redbeardevildead3459 I'll be making spawn guides and general guides; so its worth subscribing if you haven't already. But for Castle, the general rules are doorways and staircases have spawn lines. Watch my movements when playing Castle and see if you notice a pattern to my movements regarding stairs.
@@PauloRenatoSeraquini Because the points are added during the combo. Ganados are worth 300, with a maximum bonus value of 700. Look at the video. 1,000 points appearing above their heads during the combo.
I think you'll find my actual high score is much higher and can be seen in other videos lol. These "All Maps" videos were my first attempts for the most part lol
@@Sarcosuchas I know I figured I was just messing haha, I see you had the world record for a bunch. I’m pretty high on leaderboards like top 150-200 for all maps but I just started last week so I still have a ways to go.
@@Sarcosuchas But also I looked and literally every single world record for every one on VR is the one same dude and his score is like soo much higher than everyone else’s it’s insane lol, idk if he’s cheating or what haha. I’m gonna look for you on there next time I’m on
@@Sarcosuchashis scores are just so much higher on every single one so it looked weird. But one of the challenges is only having 50 shots with krausers bow. And he has like 740 kills. The next closest isn’t even remotely close. How was he able to get 740 kills with only 50 shots?? I know there’s a couple barrels but there’s def not enough to get that many..?
@@Sarcosuchas ah ok thanks It looks like you let them bunch up so you can get a stream of kills too. I also noticed that you build up a good amount of time before you let the swarm build up
@@-RandomBiz-Yep, the bonus chests are the key to high scores in RE4 Mercenaries. I have a scoring guide and VR version guide that explains all of this in detail
@@Sarcosuchas I've been trying over and over to get this last one with Wesker on the dockside. I have a problem getting enough of them to spawn. Sometimes I collect all of the hourglasses and then I can get up to 100,000 and then they just don't spawn.
I like how when you get 5 star you don't stop going for more points.
For me, it's about how high can I push the points :P
I mean why would you? It's still fun to keep the streak going.

Correction:
Hadn't gamed since late 90's!
Cheers!
Many thanks. I have full guides with detailed explanations for both Mercenaries and the Challenge Mode that should be of some help if you haven't already seen them. ^^
This is the one I was most exited for haha. You're the real Wesker
Thanks ^^
Finally. I can only get 4 stars. Need to see how. And Wesker is my best character. I want that hand canon.
And you shall see how tomorrow ^^
Crap. Didn't know you could enter the door at the very top of the castle

Then I recommend looking for time before you start killing, then you can focus on the slaughter until time runs out
Dude i dont know how happy i got when i saw ur guide and dude the golden handcannom run looked so fun i cant wait to get it dude that you sm🙏🙏
You're welcome ^^
Great job coovering all the characters for 5 stars on every map! For classic conditions, you would now unlock the Handcannon lmao. Are you going to try doing the challenges now? The unlockables for them seem really interesting (like big head mode and golden guns)
Thanks ^^ And yeah, I've got all the challenges recorded and will be uploading them next.
I have a lot of the VR specific tricks down, but are there some key differences between the normal and VR version? I heard grenades do less damage in VR
Grenades deal less damage due to their blast radius being nerfed.
Combo timers can be carried before being activated
Enemies are infinite.
One handing the rifle makes it so much easier, rarely look down scope..
God this game is incredible, best version of re4 yet!
Very much agreed
i remember when i first played mercinaries i was so happy to unlock wesker
Are you planning on making guide videos for VR Mercenaries like you did with the PC Port?
My original Mercenaries guides were for all ports, not just PC.
But yes, I'll make a VR guide
I know you would be kicking ass just as usual ^^
That's surprising how they chose to give a knife to Wesker and Re4 versions later haha
I'm also seeing that 5 stars score is up to 125 000 now?

And yeah, 5 stars is 125k now, but you only need to get 5 stars on each stage once to unlock the handcannon.
@@Sarcosuchas Well at least you gotta earn your handcanon lol
I wasn't as good as you at Re4 but 60 000 to get 5 stars... nah 😂
@@yoann5573 It's easier on VR due to the freedom of movement
I know you're playing Wesker and all but this honestly feels like canonical Leon if you've seen resident evil vendetta
Yeah, I see what you mean lol
@@Sarcosuchas by the way is it just me or did the original resident evil 4 mercenaries mode only require you to get 60,000 points for five stars
@@themanicman8458 That is correct, the original was only 60,000.
Due to the advantages of the freedom of aiming and movement in VR, they increased it to 125,000
Yo I was able to get a score of 166,000 on castle with Leon. What is your highest? I had a pretty good run
My highest is somewhere between 185-195k. Can't remember exactly as the game only saves your top overall score.
Do you play RE4VR while standing or sitting? And nice video, you are the best at this, keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻
I always play standing up
Cool bonus time 2o in row zombie awesome
Thanks
It is a cool video awesome shot all 4 please I Love it the shot thanks for the video I Love it
Thanks ^^
Now I'm convinced that some characters share voice lines
They don't
Looking at your vids helped me get those 5 stars ez pz.
I'm glad ^^
😂 good
I just unlocked the cannon, hype level is through the roof!
Congrats ^^
Cool move to 2
Thanks
Cool bonus
Thanks ^^
can't wait to see ya destroying the challenges
You won't have to wait long ^^
Getting village was so hard i barely got 4 stars on castle
Uno de los mejores spedrunners que conozco
Aparte de ser el pro player
En realidad no soy speedrunner xD
Also, you can dual hand the sniper rifle and not hard scope if you shoot it on its side. Just need to try your best to line up the barrel with your target
(Watching early, idk if you do it later, will edit if you did)
Keep in mind this was recorded on the second day of release, I have since discovered all kinds of tricks lol
Do you think that with the increase in points you need to get 5 stars, do you think newcomers will have trouble getting that score or is it to compensate for how VR makes the game easier?
It's to compensate for the freedom of movement making the game much easier
38:59 Yet another weird bug found by Sarco
He didn't count for the kill later either
Games always glitch in my presence lol

For VR you only need to get 5 stars on each map once, so it can be with 4 different characters and the game won't care.
@@Sarcosuchas Awesome, thank you! Gonna go do that now! And thank you for the amazing guides!
@@Anutaku You're very welcome ^^
Cool move
Thanks
I need the hand canon so bad is there a chance you can help me with some tips with krauser
I have a guide for VR Mercenaries, watch that video.

@@melissazietz1241 I'll be sure to try xD
Their blast radius and damage have been reduced
@@Sarcosuchas I'm sure you'll do it lol. Well that wouldn't affect my too much, I'm no good at using them anyway😆
@@melissazietz1241 It can kill combos sometimes because the blast radius rarely kills now, and 17 years of using grenades is a hard habit to kick xD
Do you have any tips for how to 5 star the castle because I’m stuck on it
Who do you think would be the best character
I have a full VR Mercenaries Guide video, check that out.
@@Sarcosuchas thank you so much dude I just unlocked the handcannon!
@@LeytonTlou Glad to hear it ^^
You're pretty good.
Thanks, I've improved since this video as it was made to be quickly uploaded
Welp I'm exactly 5 medals away from the Golden guns unlock but it's the Ashley challenge and God she so annoying like the untouchable one wasn't as much as she is
I didn't find the Ashley challenge too difficult, but you do need to get creative with it
@@Sarcosuchas yea my main problem is I keep accidentally shooting her as she's always in the way for me😅
I pay game I shot of the zombie head and sit gap my it was bead at the castle with Albert weaker on RESIDENTS EVIL 4 on ps2
Bro eres muy bueno
Gracias ^^
EXCELENCIA PURA
Gracias ^^
Who would u say is best character for achieving 5 stars to unlock hand cannon. I am only barely at 4 stars with everyone unlocked.
All of them are perfectly capable, its more down to gameplay and understanding how the game works.
I'd recommend checking out my scoring system guide and tips and tricks for each character, as it mostly all applies to VR as well.
I think Wesker might be the strongest or at least that's how it seems to me. His weapon selection and his melee moves seem the best.
@@Roadrin That was true for the original versions, VR evens things out much more

Ya hay records mundiales en este modo vr?
Si, pero los leaderboards no estan funcionando, asi que no sé quién lo tiene WR.
Creo que tengo un par de WR de momento
@@Sarcosuchas los spanws son iguales que en la version de PC? (steam) ya vi que super salvador no respamea debajo de la torre
@@mikitok3377 Salvador es la excepcion, todos los demás spawns son iguales.
I'm having a problem with the enemies not spawning quick enough.
Because you're not moving over the spawn lines enough

I was getting wesker and I speed run the hand cannon and got it in 35 min
Nice
Das like det the same way
The zombie is baed but sit Attack
I just don't understand why you don't get more points for combos 😐
What do you mean? The point system is the same as the original versions of the game.
@@Sarcosuchas when you lose the combo it doesn't add anything to your score, neither when the timer ends.
@@PauloRenatoSeraquini Because the points are added during the combo.
Ganados are worth 300, with a maximum bonus value of 700.
Look at the video. 1,000 points appearing above their heads during the combo.

I'm assuming this is meant like badass?
Wait is that a knife? That's illegal lol
