NOTE TO THE READER
If you need information on the basics for Resident Evil 5, please refer to my
original Mercenaries or Mercenaries Reunion guide on GameFAQs. This guide is
written with the assumption that you know the basics of The Mercenaries and The
Mercenaries Reunion. Basically, you are already familiar with melee killing to
get a +5 second bonus per kill and you know that bosses need to be saved in
Mercenaries Reunion to get the highest score. If you don't know things like
that then visit my Mercenaries and Mercenaries Reunion guides.
This guide is meant for a player that wants to try to obtain high scores with
Chris in Resident Evil 5's The Mercenaries and The Mercenaries Reunion modes.
If you want to just get easy SS ranks with Chris in The Mercenaries or The
Mercenaries Reunion, this guide will still help, but you'd be better off
checking my original Mercenaries or Mercenaries Reunion guide on GameFAQs.
If you want high scores with Wesker then go to Youtube and learn about his
Cobra Strike and Dash. You'll only find information about Uppercuts and
Straight punches here.

===============================================================================
Chris Redfield is the main character in the story mode of Resident Evil 5 and
also one of the Mercenaries characters in both The Mercenaries and The
Mercenaries Reunion. Much like some of the weaker characters in Resident Evil
4's Mercenaries mode, Chris' weapon assortments makes him a harder character to
use when compared to some of the other characters in The Mercenaries.
In Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries, Wesker is easily the dominant character for
reaching a high score with his Cobra Strike head stun melee that can kill
normal Majini without prior damage and his dash melee that can be used to set
up multiple melee kills and save melee kills on weakened Majini. When it comes
to all character types in The Mercenaries, Chris and Sheva are much more
limited since they must damage prior to most melees and they both have trouble
saving melee kills on weakened Majini. In Mercenaries Reunion, Chris is
actually one of the hardest characters to play - Sheva is arguably more
powerful than Chris in Mercenaries Reunion.
All five of the Chris types in The Mercenaries and The Mercenaries Reunion are
useful in their own way and this guide's main focus is to give you an extremely
detailed look at each of them. Having played almost no other character but
Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5's The Mercenaries and The Mercenaries Reunion
for the past few years, I feel that I can easily say that I know how to use him
quite well.
To sum it all up, this guide comes from one of the most dedicated Chris
Redfield players that you will find in the Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries
community... and one that has been there since the beginning!

================
PLAYING AS CHRIS
================
Playing as Chris is almost like playing a card game in a way - you play the
cards you receive and take your chances with whatever hand you are dealt.
All Chris types in The Mercenaries and The Mercenaries Reunion rely on leg
stuns at some point. Some Chris types rely fully on leg stuns in order to
melee kill. A Chris player is always at the mercy of luck with a leg stun at
certain points. Even if you use the head stun Chris types (Safari Chris and
Warrior Chris) there will come points where a leg stun will be needed.
With Chris, you take advantage of whatever circumstances you are given and make
choices based on the current situation. Sometimes luck will not work in your
favor but you can redeem yourself later in a run by making a good choice based
on new developments. Sometimes luck will be with you a great deal and you can
completely maximize and take advantage of the choices you are given.
Overall, Chris is a character of luck to some degree, but no matter what type
of luck you have, Chris players need to have the skill and the knowledge of how
to use that luck to their advantage or fight their way out of a bad luck
situation in order to score high with him.
One thing is for sure, Chris takes a lot of patience to play. Even the most
skilled players will have to give in to bad luck with leg stuns no matter how
much experience they have in using him. A leg stun Chris type such as STARS
and BSAA can't aggressively attack a crowd by performing stomps from constant
knockdowns on Majini - he needs that leg stun for an uppercut, but sometimes,
no matter how many leg shots are made, that leg stun will simply... not
activate.
==================================
RECOMMENDED CONTROL TYPE FOR CHRIS
==================================
The best control type for using Chris in Mercenaries is subject to opinion, but
I use control type B. I started out as a Type D player, but switched over to
type B after 6 months of playing Mercenaries after seeing the advantages of the
camera turn.
With the quick camera turn, a player can quickly fire shots through a crowd and
turn quickly to face Majini that would take longer to turn toward with a simple
quick turn. A Chris player needs to be able to respond quickly to a Majini
that is to his side when one is nearby to avoid an attack or grab and type B or
type A will give a player that advantage.
The button layout for type A controls keeps me from using it. The melee and
firing button are the same button unlike type B controls, so a player can't
easily stand near a stunned boss and continue to fire before performing a melee
to finish it off. A player can hold down on the firing button then release it
really quick and tap it again to melee the boss while up next to the boss while
using type A, but type B is so much easier overall since a player can just
stand next to the boss and weaken the boss with gunfire then tap a different
button to hit it with a melee.
NOTE: If you plan to play solo mode with any Chris type, type A or type B
controls are VERY much needed. Solo mode is unkind to any character without
the ability to use the camera turn and with Chris, the mode is pure evil
without the ability to turn very quickly when surrounded by enemies.
==============================================
QUICK CAMERA TURN (Type A and B controls only)
==============================================
The Quick Camera Turn, often called the "Quarter Turn", is a camera exploit
that can be performed with Type A and B controls. With A and B control types,
the camera is controlled with the right thumbstick, so a player can turn the
thumbstick in any direction in order to rotate the camera in that direction.
When you press the aiming button while turning the camera your character will
instantly turn and aim in that direction.
Aiming button for Type A = RT/R1
Aiming button for Type B = LT/L1
A player can perform several Quick Camera Turns in a row while holding any type
of gun weapon or grenade/egg weapon. The Quick Camera Turn is performed MUCH
quicker while holding a grenade or egg weapon. If you want to see it in
action, equip a grenade/egg and then hold to the side with the right thumbstick
then quickly tap the aiming button to make your character turn extremely fast
to where you might get dizzy from watching the viewpoints as they switch.
A player can also aim with the camera while using type A or B controls.
Basically, think of the center of the camera as your character's gun laser.
When you turn the camera to the side then quickly aim, your character will be
aiming toward the center of that camera angle view. So, you can turn the
camera toward the head of a Majini then aim and fire instantly at the Majini's
head. The same can be done for any other part of the Majini's body.
========
LAG SHOT
========
The lag shot is a term associated with firing a shot to set up a stun and then
firing a shot from close range and doing a melee DIRECTLY after firing the
second shot. The lag shot is much easier to do in a duo game when lag is
present. It can be done without lag, but the combination has to be entered
very quickly! The lag shot allows a player to take advantage of an early
Majini stun and instantly kill a Majini by having a weakening shot and a melee
performed in one combined sequence. Here's an example of a lag shot sequence
with BSAA Chris:
BSAA Chris melee kill (without lag shot)
M92F leg shot -> M92F leg stun shot -> Uppercut
BSAA Chris melee kill (with lag shot)
M92F leg stun shot -> (move close to Majini) -> M92F lag shot + Uppercut
Basically, a player is combining the second shot needed for damage and the
melee in a near instant combination. With Type B controls on Xbox, a player
will want to get a leg stun then rush up and aim and then fire at any portion
of the Majini with RT then immediately press X afterwards to activate the
Uppercut. So basically, the sequence would be done as follows for Type B
controls:
Melee Kill Sequence: BSAA Chris melee kill (with lag shot)
Actions: M92F leg stun shot -> M92F lag shot + Uppercut
Description: Hold LT then tap RT to fire -> run up to the stunned Majini and
hold LT then tap RT to fire then IMMEDIATELY press X to activate the uppercut
right after the shot.
====================================
PLAY DUO MODE AND SOLO MODE AS CHRIS
====================================
-- SOLO MODE
Solo mode pits one player against all stage enemies per stage and it is on the
difficulty of Normal for the main game. One player is in charge of keeping the
full combo with his/her own actions and the player must activate all spawns
within a stage based on the player's movement and overall killing speed.
One thing that is easily noticeable in solo mode for a Chris player is the
recovery period for when a Majini falls. In solo mode, a Majini is more likely
to stay down on the ground for a good five to six seconds compared to duo
mode's near instant recovery. It's often a good idea to ground multiple Majini
more often in solo with Chris since they will remain on the ground long enough
to where they can be stomped one right after the other.
-- DUO MODE
Duo mode allows a player to team up with another player and it is on the
difficulty of Veteran for the main game. Both players are in charge of keeping
the combo, so you will have a helping hand once the combo gauge starts to fade.
Since two players will be performing melee kills, time will often rise faster
and so will the score in duo play.
In duo mode, enemies will sometimes almost instantly get up from the ground
once knocked down. This is very noticeable to a Chris player. Grounding
multiple Majini in a row is not always good to do in duo that often since the
Majini recover quicker - basically, you might ground one Majini with shots then
ground another and stomp the first only to have the second Majini recover as
you run toward it, which can cost you time.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you only play one mode all the time, you're going to be bad
at the other mode in some way due to difficulty adjustment. It's good to play
both solo and duo Mercs. Skills in Mercs are obtained by playing both modes
and not whoring only one. If you only play duo, you'll likely remain very
dependent on a partner and your gameplay will suffer in tense situations
because of that. If you only play solo, you will not be adjusted to the higher
level of aggression or lag that you will have to put up with in duo mode.
One problem that I see with several players that only play duo is that they are
too single enemy focused. They put all of their attention on one enemy instead
of quickly spreading damage among all enemies in a crowd. Solo mode gets so
tense that a player is forced to weaken multiple enemies since the crowds can
be much larger. Because of gameplay such as this it's very important to play
solo mode to practice. You don't have to play it for a high score - just play
it for practice.
===========
PLAY VERSUS
===========
Versus helps to make you quicker at inventory navigation and it can help to
speed up your gameplay. Team Survivors and Survivors is the best mode to play
in order to help speed up your gameplay. Seconds count when you are forced to
quickly navigate through an ever-changing inventory like in Versus. Versus is
overall really good practice for speed in RE5 gameplay.
Team Slayers and Slayers can be good for learning the enemy spawning per stage.
It's an excellent way to learn to pick out scripted criticals and plagas also!
=================================================
BSAA, SAFARI OR S.T.A.R.S IN ORIGINAL MERCENARIES
=================================================
Overall, S.T.A.R.S. Chris is easily the best Chris type out of the available
Chris types in the orignal Mercenaries mode. He has some sort of projectile
weapon for all situations. He is the only Chris with a magnum, he has a quick
melee setup that only BSAA Chris can rival and he has the possibility of
nitrogen rounds and flash rounds for his grenade launcher. Using a machine
gun, he will get more chances at setting a Majini up for an uppercut melee kill
and he can can save melee kills on weakened Majini by stunning them with flash
rounds. He can often melee kill most bosses also!
Other than his rocket launchers for quick boss killing, Safari Chris has no
true advantage. He actually has more flaws than advantages thanks to his high
critical rate from his handgun, shotgun and his main melee kill setup. His
main melee kill combination (headshot + straight) has a chance to not kill
also. The straight must hit the front portion of the Majini and even then
there is still a chance that it might not kill.
BSAA Chris would be just as powerful as S.T.A.R.S. Chris with a magnum, but
unfortunately he is stuck with only the weakest shotgun in The Mercenaries.
His main melee kill setup is very easy and he sometimes seems to get easier leg
stuns when compared to STARS Chris (all leg stuns are random though, so this is
arguable). With no magnum or other powered weapon, fighting against plagas
spawns and bosses are his main downfall.
=============================================
WARRIOR OR HEAVY METAL IN MERCENARIES REUNION
=============================================
When it comes to solo play in Reunion, Warrior has a major advantage over Heavy
Metal Chris - Warrior Chris has a shotgun that can kill bosses quickly! Heavy
Metal Chris has problems stunning and weakening bosses in both solo and duo,
but with a good partner in duo, he can actually be a better team mate than a
Warrior Chris partner.
Heavy Metal Chris excels in building time with his stun rod. He can literally
melee kill ANY type of enemy in the game because of his stun rod. If he were
in the original Mercenaries game, S.T.A.R.S. Wesker would have a definite rival
for high scoring on Experimental Facility. Building time with his stun rod
makes Heavy Metal Chris a good choice for duo Reunion, but you'll still have
the flaw of not being able to kill bosses quickly, so a partner will need to
take over for killing bosses or you will have bear down on a boss with intense
gatling gun firepower in order to kill it.
Warrior Chris is basically a Safari Chris without flaws besides some slight
problems in stunning a boss with only a shotgun. He doesn't have any rocket
launchers for quick boss killing, but his main melee setup (headshot +
straight) will always kill and Warrior Chris can be quite good for Wetland
Majini - leg stun shot -> Uppercut.
=============
CHRIS' MELEES
=============
-- The table below shows all of Chris' melees for normal RE5 MERCENARIES.
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Melee Command | Type of Melee | Damage | Special |
|=========================================================|===================|
| Straight | Head Stun Melee | 400 | Possible critical |
| Hook | Arm Stun Melee (front) | 250 | Possible critical |
| Kick | Arm Stun Melee (back) | 250 | N/A |
| Uppercut | Leg Stun Melee (front) | 400 | Possible critical |
| Neck Breaker | Leg Stun Melee (back) | Kill | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| Stomp | Ground Melee | 600 | Critical if aimed |
| | | | at Majini's head |
| Haymaker | Tag Team Melee (front) | 3,000 | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| Back Hand | Tag Team Melee (back) | 3,000 | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| Top-down Punch | Partner Assist Melee | 500 | N/A |
| Uppercut | Counter Melee on Licker Beta | 600 | Sets up stab |
| | | | melee on Licker |
| Stab | Ground Melee on Licker Beta | 1,200 | N/A |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Overall, Chris' straight and his uppercut are his most powerful standing
melees. Both of them are easily capable of hitting more than one Majini for
multiple melee kills. His stomp takes off 600 damage no matter if it hits an
enemy while it stands or is on the ground and it can hit multiple Majini rather
easily as well. The stomp is his most damaging normal melee - it's easy to set
up and it's very quick. Chris has the fastest ground melee in The Mercenaries.
Chris' neck breaker is an instant kill on normal Majini and it cancels plagas
spawns but it is single kill only and slower than his straight or uppercut,
which means you should avoid performing it often since it gives very little
time advantage. Try to only neck break powerful Majini that require a bunch of
damage to kill (Torch Majini, Agitator) or neck break scripted Cephalo Majini
(Majini that will always become a Cephalo unless instant kill meleed).
-- The table below shows all of Chris' melees for RE5 MERCENARIES REUNION.
ALL CAPS = New melee or a melee with higher damage than The Mercenaries mode.
.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Melee Command | Type of Melee | Damage | Special |
|=========================================================|===================|
| STRAIGHT | Head Stun Melee | 600 | Possible critical |
| Hook | Arm Stun Melee (front) | 250 | Possible critical |
| Kick | Arm Stun Melee (back) | 250 | N/A |
| UPPERCUT | Leg Stun Melee (front) | 450 | Possible critical |
| Neck Breaker | Leg Stun Melee (back) | Kill | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| RISING UPPER | * Special Leg Stun Melee | 2000 | N/A |
| | (front) | | |
| HAMMER ELBOW | * Special Leg Stun Melee | 1500 | Possible critical |
| | (back) | | |
| Stomp | Ground Melee | 600 | Critical if aimed |
| | | | at Majini's head |
| Haymaker | Tag Team Melee (front) | 3,000 | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| Back Hand | Tag Team Melee (back) | 3,000 | Cancels plagas |
| | | | spawn |
| Top-down Punch | Partner Assist Melee | 500 | N/A |
| Uppercut | Counter Melee on Licker Beta | 600 | Sets up stab |
| | | | melee on Licker |
| Stab | Ground Melee on Licker Beta | 1,200 | N/A |
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
* Chris can only perform these special leg stun melees in duo mode while paired
with a Barry or Rebecca partner.
In Mercenaries Reunion, Chris gains the advantage of a more powerful straight
and uppercut. His straight takes off 600 damage in Mercenaries Reunion and his
Uppercut takes off 450 damage. The raise in uppercut damage does not really
help out as much as the added straight damage. Both Warrior and Heavy Metal
Chris can kill off any normal Majini with a shot to any portion of the body
along with a straight punch.
The Rising Upper and Hammer Blow melees are special melees that can only be
performed in duo mode. Chris needs to have a Barry or Rebecca partner in order
to perform either of these special melees. His Rising Upper melee will take
the place of his uppercut and his Hammer Elbow melee will take the place of his
neck breaker.
Having special melees with Warrior Chris can be bad in stages with scripted
plagas however. Since Warrior Chris will not have his instant kill neck break,
every scripted plagas in a stage will be activated on his side since he will
not have a melee to cancel them. With Heavy Metal Chris, he always has his
stun rod to cancel scripted plagas.
=======================
CHRIS' MELEE PROPERTIES
=======================
-- The table below shows how Chris' melees can hit a Majini
.----------------------------------------------------------.
| Melee Command | Melee Range |
|==========================================================|
| Straight | Standing/Hits directly ahead |
| Hook | Standing/Grounded/Hits to Chris' right |
| Kick | Standing/Grounded |
| Uppercut | Standing/Grounded/Hits to Chris' right |
| Neck Breaker | Standing (grab) |
| Stomp | Standing/Grounded |
| Haymaker | Standing |
| Back Hand | Standing |
| Top-down Punch | Standing |
| Stab | Standing/Grounded |
'----------------------------------------------------------'
It's very important to know whether Chris' melees will hit standing enemies
only or standing enemies and grounded enemies. Melees that hit grounded
enemies will likely hit the enemy's legs when Chris hits a fallen enemy,
therefore Chris will have to damage that grounded enemy just a little more when
compared to a standing hit with that same melee.
Chris' uppercut and his stomp are his best melees to hit grounded enemies. The
uppercut will often hit an enemy's legs while an enemy is grounded and take off
360 damage, which is 400 damage minus 10% for hitting the legs of a Majini. In
order to hit a grounded enemy with an uppercut, Chris has to set a Majini up
for a leg stun and have a damaged Majini below the stunned Majini - basically,
his uppercut will hit and kill the fallen Majini on the ground while it hits a
standing Majini.
In order to kill the grounded Majini, it must be weakened enough to where the
uppercut will kill it, otherwise, the Majini will be raked off the ground by
Chris' fist and the Majini will fly into the air then hit the ground and get up
instantly after the fall, which is basically the waste of a melee kill if Chris
doesn't have a flash explosive to restun it without damaging it. Chris' Hook
and his Kick can both hit grounded Majini, though they very much lack range and
they are both weak.
NOTE: Chris' Hook and Uppercut are both more likely to hit enemies from Chris'
right side rather than his left. Be sure to keep this in mind while trying to
angle his uppercut to hit an enemy.
.------------------------------------------------.
| Melee Command | Type of Attack |
|================================================|
| Rising Upper | Standing/Grounded |
| Hammer Elbow | Standing |
'------------------------------------------------'
In Mercenaries Reunion, Chris' Rising Upper will hit grounded enemies which
helps out GREATLY for setting up multiple melee kills. Since Chris' Rising
Upper takes off 2000 damage there is no need for damaging a fallen enemy prior
to performing it. Sadly, his Hammer Elbow will not hit a grounded enemy but it
can hit multiple standing enemies.
==============================
MULTI MELEE KILLING WITH CHRIS
==============================
Multi melee killing is when you hit more than one Majini with a melee and kill
them both in the process. The game will only display +5 seconds, but if you
look at the timer in the middle of the screen, you will gain +5 seconds for
every Majini that is hit with a melee for the blow, so if you hit two Majini,
you'll gain +10 seconds.
Chris can multi melee kill with any of his melees other than the neck breaker,
which is single kill only with its grab animation. It's very helpful to know
how each melee can hit a Majini. Refer to the table up above where each melee
is listed as being able to hit standing or grounded enemies. It's much easier
to get a multi melee kill with a melee that can hit grounded enemies.
VERY IMPORTANT: The main goal with each Chris type (especially STARS, BSAA and
Heavy Metal) is to spread damage across multiple enemies through gunshots that
are fired at each of them then work all of the weakened enemies into one melee.
Here's a breakdown of how to multi melee kill with each of Chris' melees:
-- Straight (Standing only)
Chris' straight has a random chance at splattering a Majini's head with a
critical hit much like a handgun. This can help him to kill multiple Majini at
the same time with one straight but it's more a stroke of luck than anything.
The straight punch can hit an undamaged Majini in the process of hitting
another Majini and actually kill the undamaged Majini through a critical hit to
head - the critical froma straight is completely random.
Since Chris' straight has the most range out of any of his melees, the straight
can be a good way to hit weakened Majini. Chris can easily maneuver around a
weakened Majini then get a headstun on another and stand near the stunned
Majini then activate the straight so that it hits both the stunned and weakened
Majini. As mentioned above, he can also get random criticals on undamaged
Majini while hitting a stunned Majini to kill more than one at the same time.
-- Uppercut (Standing and Grounded)
The uppercut is far superior to other melees when it comes to gaining multiple
melee kills with it. Since it can hit grounded enemies, Chris can easily hit
multiple enemies with one uppercut. You'll actually want to aim his uppercut,
by stepping to the side of a Majini when one is grounded near another.
Keep in mind that while a Majini is on the ground, Chris is more likely to hit
the Majini's legs, which takes off 10% less damage. Chris will be taking off
360 damage instead of the full 400 damage from an uppercut when he hits a
grounded Majini most of the time.
Any Chris type can take adantage of the uppercut for setting up multiple melee
kills. You need to weaken one Majini and then leg stun another Majini near
that weakened Majini then perform Chris' uppercut so that his fist hits both of
them. If the weakened Majini has fallen near the stunned Majini, Chris'
uppercut will hit the fallen Majini while it is on the ground - remember that
the uppercut will take off 360 damage at that time however.
Whenever you have a situation where a grounded Majini is right below a Majini
that Chris just leg stunned, any Chris type can shoot the grounded Majini to
damage it enough to where an uppercut will kill it then uppercut the standing
Majini and melee kill the fallen Majini in the process. It's so useful to know
this for BSAA Chris and STARS Chris. Obviously, you will need to know how much
damage was delivered to the grounded Majini before doing so though.
VERY IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that Chris' uppercut will mainly hit to his right
side. Try to aim all uppercuts so that the Majini that is about to be hit is
to Chris' right before activating the uppercut melee.
-- Stomp (Standing and Grounded)
The stomp can be just as useful as the uppercut for gaining multiple melee
kills, but it's not always easy to sep up a multiple stomp most of the time.
You'll mainly get a multi stomp by chance. The most common way to set one up
is to uppercut two Majini that stand in a line (one behind the other) then
stomp them both. A player can also stand by one leg stunned Majini and wait as
another runs behind the stunned Majini then uppercut them both and stomp them
both afterwards.
Chris can also lure a weakened standing Majini toward a weakened fallen Majini
then stomp as the standing Majini reaches in to grab so that his foot hits both
Majini at the same time. Besides the hilarious site of watching the standing
Majini fall back with the force of a Redfield boot, you'll gain a multi melee
kill.
The most important part about hitting multiple grounded Majini with a stomp is
to make sure that they fall to where one portion of a Majini touches the other
portion. For instance, a leg might overlap a Majini's body and when Chris
stomps he hits both the body of one Majini and the leg of the other Majini.
Aim for the portion where they both overlap each other then stomp to hit them
both.
NOTE: Keep in mind that Chris' stomp can hit a Majini leg and take off 540
damage instead of the full 600 damage. This can happen sometimes when
attempting to stomp more than one Majini. It can mess up a melee kill for
STARS Chris and BSAA Chris the most out of any Chris type since their main
melee weapons damage the least - basically, if the Majini is not damage enough,
it will only be weakened.
-- Hook/Kick (Standing and Grounded)
It's very hard to gain a multiple melee kill off of a hook or kick melee.
Since they can hit grounded Majini, they have a good chance to hit multiple
Majini when a weakened ground Majini stands by a Majini that is arm stunned
however. They have the potential to hit standing weakened Majini as well. The
Hook is more likely to hit standing Majini thanks to its wide range.
Using the hook or kick for a multi melee kill is really not something you'll
want to try to set up however. Multi melee killing with Chris' two arm stun
melees is more of a Kodack moment than a true useful strategy. It's kind of
like that one day when you accidentally stomped a chicken - it's a rare
occurrence.
NOTE: Be sure to keep in mind that a hook will hit more toward Chris' right
side much like his uppercut melee, so a player will want to try to work Majini
to his right side when attempting to hit more than one.
-- Rising Upper (Standing and Grounded)/Hammer Elbow (Standing) [Reunion]
When paired with a Rebecca or Barry partner in Mercenaries Reunion, Chris will
gain his powerful Rising Upper and Hammer Elbow, which will greatly increase
his chances for multi melee killing. Both of these melees will kill Majini
without the need for prior damage.
A good tactic to use when you get a leg stun on a Majini is to stand by the
stunned Majini and allow other Majini to gather then perform the Rising Upper
melee to hit several Majini at one time. Chris' Rising Upper allows him to hit
grounded enemies, so it's really the best of the two special Reunion melees
when it comes to hitting multiple Majini.
-- Stab (Standing and Grounded)
Chris can actually get multiple melee kill off of a stab on a Licker Beta, but
this is extremely luck base considering how hard Lickers are to flip over and
set up for melee. Naturally, you can only do this on Experimental Facility.
This is best done on the ramps on the bottom floor or the stairs of the top
floor. Basically, Chris will stab one Licker Beta then hit another Licker Beta
or Base Majini with his knife in the process. The stab takes off 900 damage,
so it will kill any Licker or Base Majini that Chris hits with the knife
regardless if he hits them in the leg or body.
==============================
SAVING A MELEE KILL WITH CHRIS
==============================
Unlike Wesker, Chris has no dash and no way to save a melee kill unless you
play as Heavy Metal Chris, who has a stun rod to save melee kills. Chris has
to rely on stuns alone to set up melees and sometimes, he will not always get
them, especially in the case of BSAA Chris or STARS Chris with their random leg
stun play.
-- Low damaging knife stun
With other Chris types aside from Heavy Metal Chris, you'll need to figure out
just how much damage a Majini can take before it dies from gunfire. After the
final shot, to where the Majini cannot survive another shot, run up to it and
equip the knife then slash its legs to attempt to get a leg stun on it. The
amount of slashes that Chris can hit the weakened Majini with will vary
depending on Chris type since they will take different amounts of damage with
their weapons. Keep in mind that the knife takes 45 damage per leg slash.
-- Flash explosive save
A flash round with STARS Chris or a flash grenade can help to save a melee kill
also. Use a flash explosive the moment that a Majini cannot take anymore
damage to stun it and set it up for a Straight melee kill. One thing to keep
in mind is that Chris' straight can cause a critical which can increase the
chances for random Cephalos.
NOTE: A direct hit with a flash round will take 100 damage, so shoot the
weakened Majini indirectly. Flash rounds will cause cocktail Majini to burst
into flames and it will make dynamite and explosive arrow Majini explode.
-- Luring Weakened Majini into melees on other Majini
Chris can stun a Majini then lure a weakened Majini into the melee. This is
best done with Chris's uppercut or straight but it can also be done with his
other melees as well. Naturally, this will take some good timing but this can
be one of Chris' best way to save a melee kill overall since it's quick. It's
best to stand by a stunned Majini and wait for a weakened Majini to reach out
for a grap or attempt to hit Chris then perform the melee as the weakened
Majini moves in.
-- Luring Weakened Majini into a time bonus hit
Besides looking pretty hilarious, a player can lure a weakened Majini toward a
time bonus then hit the time bonus and the Majini with Chris' Hook. You won't
just gain +30 seconds from that time bonus hit, it will be more like "+30
seconds... No wait! +35!"
-- Falling on a weakened Majini
If a Majini is standing beside a ledge and Chris shoots it, the Majini will
fall and take 350 damage from the fall. When the Majini falls, quickly run
over to the ledge and fall along with it. If Chris hits the dying body of the
Majini (falls on it), he will receive +5 seconds for a melee kill. If Chris
hits the grounded body BEFORE it has been on the ground for too long, he can
stomp the Majini for a brief period before it recovers if the Majini is still
alive. It's best to plan stuff like this out since Chris has to fall along
with the Majini basically - anticipate the fall after a shot to a Majini that
stands near a ledge.
=================================
SHOOTING A MAJINI FROM A DISTANCE
=================================
When an enemy is at a distance, a Chris player can quickly shoot the Majini in
any portion of the body, based on the Majini type, to keep it from setting up
an attack. This is VERY useful for dynamite and cocktail Majini. A shot from
a distance will cancel the lighting of a stick of dynamite and it will cancel
the throwing animation of any weapon.
Shooting a Majini just to stagger it is also a good tactic for working your way
around it to keep Chris from getting surrounded. If one Majini is in front of
Chris and two Majini are behind him, shoot the one in front of Chris to quickly
stagger it then run behind it and immediately turn to face all three Majini
from one side.
==============
ROLLING MAJINI
==============
When shooting Majini that are running or sometimes just standing still they
have a chance to fall to the ground and roll. Chris cannot activate a stomp
command on a rolling Majini until it finishes rolling. The Majini is not
considered "grounded" until it completely stops rolling.
During the rolling animation, a Chris player can damage the Majini further
however - this is VERY useful to know for STARS Chris. If you ever shoot a
Majini once with STARS Chris' SIG 556 and it starts to roll, you have a chance
to hit it one more time during its rolling animation to set it up for a stomp
melee kill once it finally stops rolling.
========================================================
SHOTS + STOMP AFTER A GRAB/SHOTS WHILE A MAJINI STAGGERS
========================================================
-- Shots + Stomp After a Grab
Whenever a Majini grabs your character from the behind, struggle with the
Majini normally to fight it off (wiggle the left thumbstick and tap a button),
then quickly aim toward the fallen Majini and shoot it to damage it and set up
a ground melee kill. If you shoot fast enough, the Majini will not get up and
your character will receive the ground melee command while standing over the
weakened Majini. This is best done with Type A or B controls where a player
can take advantage of the quick camera turn. Basically, the moment after your
character fights off the Majini, aim straight it and fire to damage it then
Chris can stomp it afterwards for a melee kill.
-- Shots While a Majini staggers
There will come a time where a Majini will get knocked off balance based on
your actions and will stagger backwards and fall. The moment the Majini is in
this staggering animation, a player can shoot the staggering Majini before it
hits the ground in order to damage it and set up a ground melee kill once it
falls.
NOTE 1: Both of these techniques work for all characters, but are not needed
for Jill since she already takes 1200 damage per Double Knee Drop ground melee.
NOTE 2: With STARS Chris, a player will have to shoot a Town Majini twice
before a stomp and with Heavy Metal Chris, a player will have to use the stun
rod to damage.
NOTE 3: Wetland Majini will have to be shot multiple times before they will
remain grounded. One shot from any Chris type will not keep them grounded.
=======================================
TIGHT SPACES FOR MELEES/FIGHTING BOSSES
=======================================
-- Tight Spaces
Like most characters, Chris excels greatly in tight spaces. The leg stun
Chris' (BSAA, STARS and Heavy Metal) can uppercut multiple standing and
grounded Majini much easier in a closed corridor and the head stun Chris'
(Safari and Warrior) can knock down several standing Majini that line up in a
tight corridor. Safari and Warrior Chris can fight just about anywhere thanks
to their straight melee kills, but BSAA, STARS and Heavy Metal really need
tight areas to rack up time from multi melee kills with their uppercuts.
-- Fighting Bosses
When fighting any type of boss as BSAA, STARS and Safari Chris (without a
rocket launcher), it's a good idea to have Chris' back to a wall so that Majini
can't get behind him while he shoots the boss. Bosses can also be stunned and
Chris can run behind the boss and damage it further (use the boss as a shield)
- this is especially needed for BSAA Chris and Safari Chris without a rocket
launcher since it will take several shots from their shotguns to finish off
most bosses. Use a hand grenade to stun some bosses with BSAA and Safari
without a rocket launcher if needed.
With Warrior Chris, he is much like STARS Chris in that he can kill a boss
quickly, but keep in mind that his Hydra must be aimed at specific parts of the
boss (Executioner's head, etc.) in order to stun some bosses easier. Heavy
Metal Chris needs hand grenades or proximity bombs to stun many of the bosses
he will face. He is a total sitting target while shooting a boss with his
gatling gun. Thankfully, Majini can't grab him from the back so at least he
does have that advantage.
================================
SPREADING DAMAGE AGAINST A CROWD
================================
This is VERY IMPORTANT to learn with any Chris type.
When up against a crowd of Majini, Chris is going to have to damage each Majini
in that crowd somewhat before he can perform a melee to melee kill each one.
With STARS Chris and BSAA Chris, it's a good idea to fire shots at each Majini
in the crowd to stagger the Majini and damage it. Once Chris gets a leg stun,
a player can stand by the stunned Majini and uppercut to hit multiple Majini
that have already been damage.
BSAA Chris - Shoot each Majini in a crowd with one shot to the chest to stagger
them then try for leg shots to get a leg stun. It's basically like a game of
connect the dots. Once you connect them all... BOOYAH!
Safari Chris - The BSAA Chris method can work even though Safari's handgun is
more damaging, but Safari's straight can also knock down a crowd and possibly
kill multiple Majini with a critical punch (without prior damage).
STARS Chris - Perform a three shot spray of SIG shots down each Majini's body
(starting from their chest and ending at their legs) then shoot the legs to try
to get a leg stun. STARS Chris players can also shoot Majini twice in the
chest and then once in the legs.
Warrior Chris - Warrior Chris can take advantage of his handgun's piercing and
he can be played like BSAA Chris when a crowd is present (each shot will hit
and damge multiple Majini), though he will kill with his handgun shots faster
than BSAA Chris, much like Safari Chris. He can be played like a more
successful Safari Chris also.
Heavy Metal Chris - Damage all Majini in a crowd with gatling gun fire then try
for leg stuns. Pull out the stun rod if a leg stun occurs or not. You need to
train yourself to pull out the stun rod a bunch just as a precaution. Heavy
Metal Chris can also use his stun rod alone for crowd control. Each strike has
some decent range and he hits with a wide swing - in a tight corridor, his stun
rod can really shine against crowds!
=====================
ITEM DODGING AS CHRIS
=====================
Picking up an item off the ground will make your character invincible to any
sort of harm throughout the entire item pickup animation. Just stand over the
item and press the X/[] button to pick it up the instant an enemy is about to
attack/grab in order to dodge.
Keep your inventory open for at least one item while playing as Chris the
majority of the time since he will need to pick up items in order to escape
enemy attacks at times. This holds true for any character, but when playing as
BSAA Chris and STARS Chris, who rely on random leg stun, you're not always
going to get a stun when you need it and might run the risk of getting
attacked, so your Chris might be able to pick up an item in order to dodge an
oncoming attack or grab if he fails to get a leg stun in a tense situation.
Heavy Metal Chris in Reunion is like a punching bag when it comes to attacking
Majini with him since he must get up close a good bit of the time so item
dodging can be extremely important for him. Thankfully, he needs no ammo, so
he is free to pick up a good bit of items in order to dodge.
==========================
LAG WITH CHRIS IN DUO MODE
==========================
In duo mode, a Chris player can have a major disadvantage while playing as
STARS Chris and BSAA Chris. He already has to rely on a random leg stun to
gain his best melee kill setup, but toss in the fact that you will have to wait
a certain amount of seconds for the random stun to activate along with the
possibility for an unregistered shot and you might be setting the stage for
ultimate fail in your gameplay. I'll always say that playing as BSAA Chris or
STARS Chris under heavy lag is so very useless.
IMPORTANT FACT: Certain types of lag will decrease leg stun luck.
That statement above is so very true. There are certain types of lag that will
give your character few leg stun chances. It's so noticeable when you're under
that type of lag. All you will receive per leg shot are tons of staggers and
rare leg stuns and knockdowns.
If you play with a Wesker partner in duo in normal RE5 Mercs, it's really best
if the Chris player hosts the game most of the time. Let's compare the two
under 3 seconds of lag:
-- Chris
Possible Majini reactions per leg shot fired:
- possibility for a random leg stun after 3 seconds of lag in between each shot
- a knockdown where Chris will have to wait a few seconds for the button prompt
to appear in order to activate it ("Stomp" won't always appear instantly due
to lag)
- a slight stagger after 3 seconds
- an unregistered shot leading to no response (aka. you didn't fire that shot)
- the possibility for no leg stun at all (well, we might as well use shotgun or
magnum really...)
ONE ADVANTAGE: Chris can set up an easy lag shot after receiving a leg stun
after the first shot - basically just run up to the leg stunned Majini and fire
a shot then melee. Lag will actually make it much easier to perform a lag
shot. This can help out Chris quite a bit on Wetland Majini stages where the
Majini are weaker than Town Majini.
-- Wesker
Possible Majini reactions per head shot fired:
- a stun that will ALWAYS activate after 3 seconds
- a critical which will at least keep the combo going
- a Cephalo which any Wesker type can easily kill with one shot if the combo is
at risk
- an unregistered shot leading to no response (aka. you didn't fire that shot)
No character is easy to use under lag, but I feel Wesker has more advantages
that allow him to cope with lag better. This is all arguable, and for players
to make up their own mind about really though. The lag shot with lag can help
STARS Chris and BSAA Chris out a bit, but waiting a few seconds in between leg
stun chances can severely weaken them and make them more open to attacks.
In Mercenaries Reunion, Heavy Metal Chris isn't really as bad under lag as BSAA
Chris or STARS Chris in normal RE5 Mercs. He will still have the obvious delay
after each leg shot, but with Heavy Metal Chris, he has a stun rod that can
save melee kills so he's not really at that much of a disadvantage. Safari
Chris and Warrior Chris both rely on head stun melees for the most part, so at
least they will have same basic advantages as a Wesker player under lag...
minus the overpowered weapon for killing Cephalos quickly of course.

BSAA Chris can rival a S.T.A.R.S. Chris player with his weak handgun, which can
set up easy uppercut melees. He can gain multiple melees easily since he
damages quickly with his handgun and has a very easy overall melee kill setup
on the majority of Majini. After damaging a Majini with two handgun shots to
any portion of the body he can melee kill the Majini with an uppercut. Damaged
Majini can pile around him and feel the sweet embrace of a Redfield uppercut
once he gains a leg stun.
For a powered weapon, BSAA Chris only has his low damaging Ithaca shotgun.
This can be used to save combos when the combo gauge is blinking or damage high
HP enemies. His Ithaca shotgun is his boss killer. With some good dodging
skills and knowledge of boss attacks, a BSAA Chris player can get through a
boss fight without using his hand grenades to stun a boss, which is a good
strategy to learn for killing a boss.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSAA Chris starts with the following items in his inventory:
- M92F Handgun (with 50 handgun bullets)
- 50 Handgun Ammo
- Ithaca M37 Shotgun (with 20 shotgun shells)
- 30 Shotgun Ammo
- 5 Hand Grenades
- 1 First Aid Spray
Below is a diagram of his inventory from the start:

| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
It's a good idea to move Chris' First Aid Spray to another slot once you gain
control of him. The bottom slot would be best saved for any flash grenades
that a player might find while fighting Majini. Even though his hand grenades
will often ruin melee kills during a fight, it's still a good idea to keep them
to stun bosses and destroy breakable walls. BSAA Chris starts with 50 bullets
of handgun ammo in his inventory and he already holds 50 bullets in the chamber
of his M92F handgun, so he really starts with a total of 100 handgun bullets
altogether.
His Ithaca shotgun holds 20 shotgun shells from the start and he has 30 extra
shotgun shells in his inventory for a total of 50 shotgun shells. He really
doesn't need all of that ammo for his shotgun on most stages. If you ever find
that you're running out of inventory space during a run, discard the shotgun
ammo from the beginning. BSAA Chris will receive plenty of shotgun ammo drops
while fighting, so you'll never be in a shortage of shotgun ammo most likely.
With the shotgun already holding 20 shells from the start, BSAA Chris is not
going to run out anytime soon on most stage (Prison is an exception).
--> BSAA Chris' M92F handgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- M92F (HG)
Firepower: 250
Capacity: 50
Reload Speed: 1.70 sec.
Special: Critical 37.5%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSAA Chris starts with a total of 100 handgun bullets altogether. He has 50
handgun ammo in his inventory and his handgun holds 50 bullets from the
beginning. He will need all of that ammo plus more throughout his fights per
stage since his melee kill setups usually require two shots per Majini. It's a
good idea to horde handgun ammo with BSAA Chris from the beginning if handgun
ammo is lying around since it is used up fast!
BSAA Chris' handgun has a high critical rate which will lead to critical
headshots often with each headshot on a normal Majini. This ruins melee kills
and can cause random Cephalos, but it can also help in saving the combo if you
don't want to risk saving the combo with a shotgun blast that may or may not
kill from mid or long range. A shot to the head with the M92F handgun will
often result in a critical headshot that will kill the Majini.
The M92F handgun will take 250 damage per shot on a normal Majini. Two shots
to set up an uppercut followed by an uppercut melee is the best way to melee
kill a normal Majini with BSAA Chris to gain a 5 second bonus per melee kill.
--> BSAA Chris' Ithaca M37 shotgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ithaca M37 (SG)
Firepower: 400
Capacity: 20
Reload Speed: 2.40 sec.
Special: Critical 25%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSAA Chris' Ithaca shotgun is his main boss killing weapon...
...
Yeah, that's what I thought too when I first started playing BSAA Chris.
Capcom gave the main character of Resident Evil 5 a shotgun that only takes off
400 damage per pellet and it happens to be his most powerful gun weapon! The
Ithaca shotgun starts with 20 bullets in its chamber and BSAA Chris has 30
extra shotgun shells in his inventory from the start. He doesn't really need
that much shotgun ammo on most stages, so a player can easily discard the 30
shotgun shells to free up inventory space.
When fighting a boss with BSAA Chris, a player will often want to use a
combination of his hand grenades and his shotgun to stun and weaken bosses.
His shotgun alone can work well for boss stuns with proper aiming at a boss'
weak point, but tossing a hand grenade is so much quicker and will remove a
crowd of Majini if they happen to surround a boss (especially in solo mode).
Chris' firepower for his Ithaca is 400 damage per pellet shot, so that means
when you fire the shotgun at a wall, each hole that is made will take 400
damage from anything that it would have hit with that shot. Usually the
shotgun will make about 7 holes in a wall, so his gun actually takes off about
2800 damage per shot for a DIRECT hit where ALL pellets hit an enemy.
Normal Ithaca pellet spread:
. .
. . . <--- 400 damage x 7 pellets
. .
--> BSAA Chris' Hand Grenades
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hand Grenade
Direct Hit: 1,500
Area Effect: 1,000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSAA Chris starts with 5 hand grenades in his inventory that take off 1000
damage or 1500 damage per explosion based on if the explosion is a direct hit
or not. The best part about Chris' hand grenades is that they are very useful
for stunning bosses and they SHOULD be used to stun bosses when several enemies
crowd the boss, especially in solo mode.
Yeah, you're going to ruin melee kills while stunning a boss that has a crowd
around him, but if you go in with shotgun alone, just imagine the time you'll
be wasting when getting grabbed and possibly getting knocked into dying status
while trying to stun that boss without a hand grenade!
BSAA Chris' hand grenades are very useful for breaking open cracked walls to
make short paths in Public Assembly or Prison. His hand grenades are good for
killing the chicken in each stage also. There is really no need to pinpoint
aim with the handgun when Chris can just toss a hand grenade that will knock
that little clucker out with a wide area range explosion. Sometime pinpointing
aiming at the chicken with the handgun and shooting it is better since you
don't run the risk of ruinining melee kills however.
Chris' hand grenade is also a really good method to defeat Cephalos that spawn
from a Majini and still keep the combo in solo mode. The moment a Cephalo
spawns, Chris can quickly toss a hand grenade at the foot of the Cephalo and
the direct hit explosive blast will instantly kill the Cephalo. Again, the
hand grenade will ruin melee kills when tossed at a Cephalo in a crowd, but it
will instantly rid Chris of that Cephalo nuisance. The same can be done for
Duvalias also - hand grenades are actually PRICELESS against Duvalias since one
direct explosion can kill them while the Majinin mutates into the Duvalia!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section is a listing of damage that each of BSAA Chris' melees and weapons
will take from each enemy in The Mercenaries. Each Enemy has its total HP
amounts listed along with damage modifiers. The amount of damage that each of
Chris' melees and weapons take from each portion of the enemy is listed below
the HP amounts and modifiers. Basically, if you want to make up your own melee
kill, then add up a total amount of shots leading up to a melee and make sure
that full amount is greater than the enemy's HP.
NOTE: Some of the damage listings per enemy can be off a bit. Some of enemies

-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 1
*******************************************************************************
M92F Chest shot -> M92F Leg shot -> Uppercut
(250 damage + 225 damage + 400 damage)
*******************************************************************************
A chest shot followed by a leg shot and then an uppercut is the bread and
butter of BSAA Chris' melee kills for normal Majini. Since a leg stun is
random, the leg shot may not be activated on the second shot and Chris may have
to shoot the legs of the Majini one more time for another chance at a possible
leg stun. If that doesn't work, he will have to resort to knife slashing the
Majini in the legs of using a flash grenade to stun it for a final attempt at a
melee kill. Any normal Town Majini will die from the fourth M92F shot to any
portion of the body.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 2
*******************************************************************************
M92F Leg shot -> M92F Leg shot -> Uppercut
(225 damage + 225 damage + 400 damage)
*******************************************************************************
Shooting the legs twice is another option for a Chris player to set up an
uppercut. Why would you want to shoot the legs twice and risk a knock down on
the first shot? Well, when up against a crowd of Majini, you're little Chrisy
will be begging for a leg stun to avoid the attacks or grabs from the Majini
mob in front of him.
Constantly shooting only the legs can be a good choice for a BSAA Chris player
that is up against a big crowd of Majini.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 3
*******************************************************************************
M92F Leg shot -> Stomp
(225 damage + 600 damage)
*******************************************************************************
If a Majini is tripped by a single stomp, Chris can run up to the Majini and
stomp it on the ground for a melee kill. An M92F shot to any portion of the
body will guarantee that a stomp will kill most normal Majini.
NOTE: If the stomp hits the legs of a Majini after a leg shot the stomp will
not kill. This can be a flaw of shooting the legs of a Majini from the
beginning when attempting to get a double stomp - basically, Chris accidentally
stomps the legs of one Majini and ruins the melee kill on that Majini.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 4
*******************************************************************************
M92F Leg shot -> Neck Breaker
(225 damage + instant kill)
*******************************************************************************
A neck breaker is an instant kill on any type of Majini. Get a leg stun
through an M92F shot then step behind the Majini to get the neck breaker
command then press the button to activate the neck breaker to instantly kill
it. Besides instantly killing a Majini, the neck breaker will also stop
scripted plagas spawns from a Majini. If a Majini WILL spawn a plagas enemy
from any other type of kill, Chris can cancel that Cephalo spawn by performing
a neck breaker on the Majini.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 5
*******************************************************************************
Knife Slash legs -> Uppercut
(45 damage + 400 damage)
*******************************************************************************
Alright, so you've weakened the Majin down to where the fourth shot will kill
it. Whatever shall you do for that +5 bonus now? Well, you could try for a
leg stun with Chris' machete (knife). His knife takes only 50 damage (45 for a
leg slash), so you'll get a few chances.
The main problem with doing this is that Chris will be wide open to surrounding
Majini attacks and grabs. Only try for this if only a few Majini are in the
area. This is a better option for duo play rather than solo since you'll have
few enemies at a time most of the time in solo - keep in mind that enemies are
more aggressive in duo though!
Out of all the Chris types, BSAA Chris will have to resort to a knife slash the
most to gain a stun for a melee kill. He damages the most and has to rely
almost fully on leg stuns. Head shots are almost complete fail with BSAA Chris
unlike Safari Chris since BSAA Chris' handgun will almost always result in a
critical head shot and, unlike STARS Chris, his main weapon for melee setups
takes off more.

* This is really the best method for killing a female Majini. You'll get three
chances for a leg stun if Chris shoots the legs of the female from the start.
** DON'T do this unless it is an accident or you're a man or woman of risks.
About 90% of the time, a female Majini will spawn a Cephalo from a head stomp.
If you don't get a Cephalo from the head stomp on a female Majini, you are VERY
lucky and you should treasure that +5 time bonus.

M92F leg shot -> Neck Breaker
M92F chest shot -> M92F arm shot -> Hook/Kick
* Since Wetland Majini have lower HP than Town Majini, BSAA Chris' handgun will
kill off a Wetland Majini with a third shot if he fires at the chest first. A
player can start off by firing at the legs of a Wetland Majini to have a total
of three chances for a leg stun without killing the Majini. If the Wetland
Majini is hit with only two leg shots and falls, it will automatically get up
after hitting the ground. If the Wetland Majini is hit with a chest shot
follwed by a leg shot and falls, it will remain grounded since it has received
enough damage to stay on the ground for a while.
Setting up Wetland Majini for an uppercut or stomp with BSAA Chris is a matter
of luck no matter how you try to set up the melee. It's best to go with what
works best for you. No method is really better than the other when all leg
stuns are random!

hitting a Bui Kichwa. Basically, you'll have to set up a leg stun on a Wetland
Majini then aim the uppercut so that it will hit a Bui Kichwa. This is MUCH
easier said than done and you're likely to get this more on accident or by
chance rather than trying to actually set it up.
-- Cephalo - 3000
Ithaca shotgun blast to chest -> Ithaca shotgun blast to chest -> Stomp*
Ithaca shotgun blast to chest -> Explosive barrel explosion -> Stomp**
M92F chest shot x5 -> Close/mid-range Ithaca shotgun blast to chest -> Stomp***
* Both shotgun blasts need to be from close or mid-range in order for them to
weaken the Cephalo enough to where it will be killed by a stomp. Since a
Cephalo must be knocked down twice, you'll need to shoot it once to knock it
down then wait for it to get up and then shoot it again. Don't hit it again
while it is on the ground, or it will automatically get up after falling the
second time. It's really best to try to kill it with up close shotgun blast.
You're really already wasting time by killing the Cephalo with a shotgun, so
having it survive after a stomp that follows two shotgun blasts would just
waste time.
** An explosive barrel will take 1000 damage from the Cephalo, so it will
weaken it just as much as a shotgun blast. Again, the Cephalo will get up if
it is hit while it is already grounded. It's possible to shoot a Cephalo with
a shotgun blast and hit an explosive barrel at the same time on some stages
(like Missile Area). It's basically a bouncing process.
*** Each M92F shot will take 250 damage (1250 total). If you can hit the
Cephalo from close range with an Ithaca blast to the chest after the handgun
chest shots, it should weaken the Cephalo enough so it will be killed by a
stomp. This is a very consistent melee kill for a Cephalo, but the time wasted
with the M92F shots is very annoying.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- I RAN OUT OF HANDGUN AMMO! WHAT NOW!?
Thanks to BSAA Chris's weak shotgun, a player can actually set up stomp melees
by aiming toward the feet of a Majini and firing at it's legs to knock it down.
Since each pellet takes off 400 damage, you want only one or two pellets from
the shotgun spread to hit. The Majini will likely fall back with its head
facing Chris, so try to stomp it from the side if possible in stages with
random Cephalos to help prevent them.
You can also resort to using the knife and slashing at a Majini's legs then
perform a quick neck breaker. Don't do this for crowds though - the shotgun
works much better for crowds when out of handgun ammo. Even if you do ruin
melee kills, at least you won't run as much of a risk of getting grabbed when
firing the shotgun.
-- DESTROYING WEAK WALLS WITH GRENADES.
Use hand grenades to destroy the cracked walls in Public Assembly and Prison if
needed. Most of the time, you'll do this at the start of a run. Try to avoid
hitting Majini to help save melee kills as usual.
-- USING THE KNIFE TO SAVE A MELEE KILL.
The majority of Majini will die after four shots to any portion of the body
with the M92F handgun. If Chris doesn't get a leg stun after three shots,
you'll have to resort to the knife or lure the weakened Majini into a melee
that is used to hit another Majini. Basically, you equip the knife then aim
toward the Majini's legs and slash for an attempt at one final leg stun. This
is just as random as the chances for a normal leg stun from the handgun, so
your luck will vary. It's best to only try this when facing only one or two
Majini instead of a crowd.
-- DISCARD THE SHOTGUN AMMO FROM THE START?
Since BSAA packs 20 shotgun shells in his shotgun from the start, there is no
reason to keep his extra ammo on most stages if you think you might need the
extra inventory space. Besides Experimental Facility, Ship Deck and Prison, he
won't need the extra shotgun shells in duo or solo most likely. If you do need
some extra shotgun ammo, there should be plenty of shotgun ammo drops lying
around from random enemy item drops.
-- 2 LEG SHOTS VS 1 CHEST SHOT + 1 BODY SHOT TO SET UP AN UPPERCUT?
BSAA Chris can kill most Majini with two handgun shots to any part of the body
followed by an uppercut. Many players shoot the chest before hitting the legs
for a smaller chance of tripping the Majini - you only hit the legs one time,
so you'll either get a knockdown, a leg stun or nothing and have to shoot
again.
When a big group of Majini is near Chris, you'll want to get a leg stun as soon
as possible. When up against a large group, a player can focus on shooting
only the legs of Majini to possibly get a leg stun faster. This way, if a
Majini is about to grab Chris, he can quickly activate an uppercut if he gets a
leg stun prior to the grab.
-- GRENADE OR SHOTGUN FOR CEPHALO KILLS, DUVALIA KILLS AND BOSS STUNS?
A blast from the Ithaca shotgun is not going to kill an undamaged Cephalo on
the first hit, but a player can toss a grenade at the feet of a Cephalo to
instantly kill it with the upcoming explosive blast. Obviously, a hand grenade
will ruin surrounding melee kills, but if the current combo is at risk (numbers
are flashing), a hand grenade is the only way to instantly kill a Cephalo and
save the combo without ruininig a melee kill by shooting a nearby Majini with
the Ithaca shotgun.
BSAA Chris can melee kill Cephalos with two well-aimed shotgun blast followed
by a stomp, but the combo is much more important than a possible melee kill.
The shotgun is still a good way to kill a Cephalo, but, like already mentioned,
it won't be an instant kill.
When it comes to a Duvalia, it is to your advantage to toss a hand grenade at
the feet of a transforming Duvalia in order to kill it instantly with the
resulting explosive blast. No matter how many melee kills, you ruin with the
hand grenade, the hand grenade is far superior to using the Ithaca shotgun on a
Duvalia.
Bosses are really best killed with only the shotgun. If a group of Majini
surrounds a boss in solo mode, it's best to use a grenade to clear away the
surrounding Majini and stun the boss. The Gatling Gun Majini is about the only
boss that Chris must stun with a grenade in order to damage him and kill him.
-- AIMING CHRIS' UPPERCUT AWAY FROM A MAJINI HEAD?
Most stages have random Cephalos in them that can be activated by shooting or
hitting a Majini in the head. Chris' uppercut often has a chance to hit a
Majini in the head from in front of the Majini, so it can cause a random
Cephalo to spawn from a Majini.
A player can aim Chris' uppercut away from a Majini by stepping to the side of
a Majini before activating the uppercut. This will make it to where his fist
will hit the side of the Majini instead of the head. Aiming the uppercut away
from the Majini head will reduce the risk of creating a random Cephalo. Chris
might still have a chance of hitting the Majini's head, but hitting a Majini
from the side will reduce that risk.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Chris (Safari) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Safari Chris is almost like a joke character in The Mercenaries with his random
flaws. He is like a watered-down Wesker in the form of Chris, only possessing
Wesker's flaws and none of his strengths. Safari Chris comes decked out in a
zebra outfit and carries a powerful handgun, a shotgun and two rocket
launchers. This version of Chris is hard to the core in a very funny sort of
way!
Safari Chris is flawed highly with each of his weapons in stages where Majini
can spawn random Cephalos. His main melee kill setup involves a head stun and
Chris' straight, which often hits the head of a Majini for a critical, so this
Chris has the potential to create tons of Cephalo spawns in stages that carry
random Cephalos. Even Safari's M3 shotgun will often critical a Majini if it
hits a Majini in the head, so his powered weapon also has the potential for
creating random Cephalos.
Safari Chris' main melee kill setup also has a random damage factor associated
with the straight punch melee. Basically, after a head shot + Straight punch
sequence, a Majini might survive the straight and have enough HP left to be
killed off by a simple knife slash to any portion of the body. This flaw along
with his random Cephalo chances will sometimes lead to a combo loss in solo or
duo mode.
The main saving grace of this Chris type is that fact that he can instantly
kill any enemy with his rocket launchers. Most stages have multiple boss
enemies, but Safari can instantly kill two of them with his rocket launchers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safari Chris starts with the following items in his inventory:
- SIG P226 Handgun (with 16 handgun bullets)
- 30 Handgun Ammo
- M3 Shotgun (with 10 shotgun shells)
- 10 Shotgun Ammo
- 2 Rocket Launchers
Below is a diagram of his inventory from the start:
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| Handgun | Rocket | Shotgun |
| Ammo (30) | Launcher |Shells (10)|
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| SIG P226 | | M3 |
| (HG) | | (SG) |
| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | Rocket | |
| | Launcher | |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
Safari Chris starts with less overall ammo than BSAA Chris and this WILL affect
his ammo drops from enemies. Since he starts with only 30 extra handgun
bullets and 10 extra shotgun shells in his inventory, he will receive less of
each ammo type when compared to BSAA Chris, so running out of ammo with Safari
Chris might happen at times. Safari Chris seems to have the least amount of
random handgun ammo pickups from enemy item drops out of any character.
S.T.A.R.S. Wesker is the only other character that gets few handgun ammo drops.
It's a good idea to horde handgun ammo with Safari Chris as it appears from
defeated enemies. Safari Chris might enter periods where enemies will only
drop shotgun ammo. This is one of his many flaws and it will happen to a
player eventually. Running out of shotgun ammo can happen as well, but since
Safari will not use shotgun ammo as much, it's really not that much of a
problem on most stages.
To make up for his low ammo count, Safari Chris has two extremely overpowered
rocket launchers in his inventory. Whatever Safari hits an enemy with a direct
rocket attack, that enemy will be no more! Just point at the enemy and fire
and the big bad monster will go away guaranteed!
--> Safari Chris' SIG P226 handgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SIG P226 (HG)
Firepower: 350
Capacity: 16
Reload Speed: 1.70 sec.
Special: ---------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SIG P226 has a higher damage rate than many other handguns in Mercenaries
but it's just low enough to expose one of the biggest flaws of Safari Chris.
His main melee kill setup is a shot to the head with his handgun followed by a
straight punch. His straight punch will sometimes take off less damage than it
is supposed to and this causes the straight to not kill Town and Base Majini at
times. If only Safari Chris' gun took off just 50 damage more, he would always
kill with his main melee setup. Always hitting the front of a Majini with
Safari's straight will reduce the risk of him not killing with his straight,
but it's not always guaranteed even then.
The P226 handgun takes 350 damage per shot and this causes it to weaken Majini
with fewer shots when compared to BSAA Chris which means that Safari is better
off going for headshots. The P226 handgun will sometimes give a player tons of
critical headshot in a row however. This can lead to random Cephalo spawns on
stages with random Cephalos. To make matters worse, Safari's straight punch
has a chance to spawn a random Cephalo as well since it can cause a critical
head explosion!
The handgun's higher damage rate keeps a player from successfully playing
Safari like BSAA Chris since most Majini will die from the third leg shot.
Safari Chris players can try for a chest shot/leg shot and leg shot followed by
an uppercut, but always remember that the third leg shot will kill if the leg
stun doesn't activate on the second shot!
-- Safari Chris' M3 shotgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- M3 (SG)
Firepower: 500
Capacity: 10
Reload Speed: 3.00 sec.
Special: ---------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The M3 is by far the worst shotgun in the game. Sure, it takes off 100 damage
more when compared to the Ithaca shotgun, but just fire it at a wall on Public
Assembly and look at the pellet spread! This shotgun has a VERY random pellet
spread.
Normal M3 pellet spread:
. .
. . . <--- 500 damage x 7 pellets
. .
The diagram above shows the kind of blasts that Safari will be firing from his
M3. All of those dots will take off 500 damage, but just fire at a wall and
look at how random those pellet spreads are - they are almost never the same
like BSAA Chris' more consistent spread from his Ithaca shotgun. Either way,
Safari's shotgun will take off more damage per shot than the Ithaca when it is
fired at close range. The M3 CAN kill a Cephalo with one hit from one
perfectly aimed chest shot from close range. It can also set a Cephalo up for
a stomp melee kill.
The randomness of the pellet spread causes each shot to be different no matter
how a player aims the gun however. Against a boss, the M3 will often kill
faster than BSAA Chris' Ithaca shotgun however, so even without his rocket
launchers, Safari is still overall better for boss kills when compared to BSAA
Chris.
-- Safari Chris' Rocket Launcher
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rocket Launcher
Firepower: 30,000
Capacity: 1
Reload Speed: ---------
Special: ---------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of his whole inventory setup, the two rocket launchers in Safari's
inventory are the main attraction to any player that scrolls through the
character select screen, I'm sure. Each rocket shot will take off 30,000
damage which will kill ANYTHING with a direct hit. The area damage will kill
off just about anything except for the Red Executioner at times.
The main flaw with the rocket launcher is that it will kill off every enemy
near the boss and has the potential to ruin several melee kills! It's far
better to go ahead and fire the rocket and ruin melee kills rather than weaken
a boss with the slow shotgun however. Since most stages have more than 2
bosses, Safari Chris will have to fight off at least one boss with the M3
shotgun in solo mode, so it's good to plan ahead and decide which boss presents
the biggest challenge.
Because of the explosion, it's easy to get knocked into dying status by
shooting a rocket launcher from too close of range to Safari Chris. All it
takes is an overly aggressive boss to charge Safari (Chainsaw Majini) or have a
Majini step right in front of the scope as a player aims to accidentally have
the rocket hit Safari Chris when he fires. Take great care when attempting to
fire the rocket launcher and be on the lookout for that stray Majini!

This section is a listing of damage that each of Safari Chris' melees and
weapons will take from each enemy in The Mercenaries. Each Enemy has its total
HP amounts listed along with damage modifiers. The amount of damage that each
of Chris' melees and weapons take from each portion of the enemy is listed
below the HP amounts and modifiers. Basically, if you want to make up your own
melee kill, then add up a total amount of shots leading up to a melee and make
sure that full amount is greater than the enemy's HP.
NOTE: Some of the damage listings per enemy can be off a bit. Some of enemies
such as the Gatling Gun Majini appear to have a random weapon damage modifier
for some weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 1
*******************************************************************************
SIG P226 head shot -> Straight
*******************************************************************************
Safari Chris' main melee kill set up should be a shot to the head with his P226
handgun followed by a straight punch on the staggering Majini. With Town
Majini and Base Majini, this melee kill setup might not lead to a kill. There
is a random damage factor associated with BSAA Chris and Safari Chris' straight
punch that makes the straight punch melee take off less per hit sometimes.
Sometimes the full string of attacks will not take off more than 800 damage and
the Majini will survive to where a single knife slash will finish it off.
Contrary to popular belief, failing to hit the head of the Majini is NOT the
reason why Safari Chris takes off less. There is some other yet unknown factor
that causes his straight punch to take off less than it it supposed to at times
(possibly hitting the weapon arm of a Majini). Wetland Majini will always be
killed by Safari Chris' main melee setup however since they only have 700 HP.
NOTE: Always hitting a Majini from the front with a straight punch after each
headshot will increase your chances for killing a Majini with Safari Chris'
straight after each P226 headshot. When a Majini turns its back to Chris after
a headshot, rush around to its front side then activate the straight punch
melee. The straight punch is still not guaranteed to kill even from the front,
but most of the time, it will kill when Chris hits a Majini from the front
after each headshot.
Base Majini have a hit detection problem associated with hitting them in the
head - the head stun will not always activate, which makes Safari Chris much
worse than the other two Chris types on Experimental Facility. It is far
better to kill Base Majini with an uppercut, neck breaker or stomp melee
because of this.
Safari Chris' main melee setup will cause Cephalos like a Wesker player that
sets up Cobra Strike with either Wesker type. Safari Chris seems to produce
even more Cephalos than Wesker with his P226 head shot and his straight. One
will have to keep this in mind and try to avoid Majini that have a high risk
for random Cephalos (female Majini, most Missle Area Majini) by killing them
with uppercuts, neck breakers or stomps.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 2
*******************************************************************************
a) SIG P226 chest shot -> SIG P226 leg shot -> Uppercut
b) SIG P226 leg shot -> SIG P226 leg shot -> Uppercut
*******************************************************************************
Safari Chris can use the same melee kill setups as BSAA Chris, but since his
gun is more powerful, he will have less chances to set up a leg stun than BSAA
Chris. The plus side on doing this is that he will have much less chance of
producing a random Cephalo on stages where they are common, but a player will
often be forced to kill off Majini due to not getting a stun.
As with BSAA Chris, it is best to aim the uppercut away from the head of the
Majini to avoid producing a random Cephalo. Simply step to the side of the
Majini just a bit before activating the uppercut to have less of a chance of
the uppercut hitting the head of the Majini.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 3
*******************************************************************************
SIG P226 leg shot -> Stomp
*******************************************************************************
Just like with BSAA Chris, Safari Chris can stomp Majini after they fall to the
ground after receiving one shot from the P226 handgun for a melee kill.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 4
*******************************************************************************
SIG P226 chest shot -> SIG P226 arm shot -> Hook/Kick
*******************************************************************************
I didn't feel a Hook/Kick melee kill sequence was worth going into depth for
BSAA Chris, but with Safari Chris, he can actually kill off a Majini after the
second shot to set up the arm stun since his gun is more powerful than BSAA
Chris' M92F handgun. While shooting at a Majini's head it is very possible to
hit an arm on accident, so this melee combination can come in handy.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 5
*******************************************************************************
SIG P226 leg shot -> Neck Breaker
*******************************************************************************
Getting a leg stun on a Majini with the P226 handgun and stepping around the
back side of the Majini will allow Safari Chris to instantly kill the Majini
with a neck breaker for a melee kill. The neck breaker is most important for
canceling scripted Cephalos that would have otherwise been activated from a
normal melee kill. It's also useful for Majini that have high HP amounts, such
as the Agitator on Public Assembly.

* A head shot + straight melee kill combination will always kill a female
Majini unless the female spawns a Cephalo, and a random Cephalo spawn can
happen OFTEN with a female Majini when hitting it in the head! Since both the
head shot and the straight have a chance to produce a random Cephalo on a
Majini type that has extremely high chances, it's really best just to try for a
leg stun then perform a neck breaker or maybe just try for an uppercut or stomp
melee kill to avoid the possible Cephalo spawn.

Obviously, you'll want to try to get two chest shots before an uppercut, but if

* Out of all of Chris' melees the Uppercut will be your best chance at a
hitting a Bui Kichwa. Basically, you'll have to set up a leg stun on a Wetland
Majini then aim the uppercut so that it will hit a Bui Kichwa. This is MUCH
easier said than done and you're likely to get this more on accident or by
chance rather than trying to actually set it up.

M3 shotgun blast to chest -> Stomp *

* By shooting a Cephalo point blank in the chest with the M3, Safari Chris can
sometimes finish off the Cephalo with a stomp after it falls to the ground.
It's best to aim to kill the Cephalo with one shotgun blast. A player can
shoot the Cephalo with a few SIG P226 handgun shots before the shotgun blast in
an attempt to weaken it so that the stomp will kill. It is very possible to
kill off a Cephalo with one single shot from the M3 shotgun, but that takes ALL
pellets in order to do so.
** Shooting the Cephalo in the chest with two shots from Safari's handgun will
help out if Chris can't easily get close to it for a close range blast from the
M3. You could also try to hit the Cephalo with only one handgun shot before
the shotgun blast if two handgun shots is too much.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- ALWAYS HIT A MAJINI WITH A FRONTAL STRAIGHT AFTER A HEAD STUN
Safari Chris' straight will take off random damage for some reason when a
straight does not hit from a Majini's front side. Whenever a Majini turns its
back to Chris during a head stun from a handgun shot, quickly run to the
Majini's other side (front side) then activate the straight so Chris will
straight punch the Majini from the front. Knowing this is VERY important for
Safari Chris players.
If a straight punch does not kill a Majini after a head stun, it will be
extremely weak and will die to a simple knife slash. The best way to finish it
off would be to quicky run toward it and stomp it. Either stomp it or lead it
another Straight. If the combo is at risk when the Majini hits the ground, go
ahead and shoot it with Safari Chris' handgun to save the combo.
This is a flaw that a player WILL encounter no matter how much you play Safari
Chris. The straight not killing can be very random at times. Even when the
straight is aimed toward the front side of a Majini, there is still a small
chance that it might not kill.
-- LAG SHOT
More than any other Chris type, the lag shot (instant shot before a melee) is
very important to Safari Chris. While using the lag shot, Chris can arguably
be played as a leg stun character. Since his handgun will take off so much
damage with two shots that it will kill a Majini on the third shot, a Chris
player can start off by shooting a Majini in the legs then run up to it during
a leg stun and quickly lag shot then uppercut to kill it off.
As you might imagine, this takes much practice to perfect, but it's definitely
worth learning if you intend to play Safari Chris seriously. It's best to
practice the lag shot in Versus where lag is present often. The lag shot also
helps when Safari Chris accidentally gets an arm stun when trying for a
headshot. Arguably, the lag shot can be used to rid him of the flaw of his
straight not killing also - head stun, lag shot, straight.
NOTE: See the section for "Lag Shot" at the beginning of this guide for
information on the lag shot technique.
-- SAFARI CHRIS AND CEPHALOS
Safari Chris is a Cephalo producing machine in stages with many random Cephalos
such as Public Assembly and Missile Area. He has the highest chance for
activating a scripted Cephalo out of any other character in The Mercenaries.
His handgun already has a high critical rate and his straight punch has a high
critical rate as well. He will sometimes often get criticals with his main
melee kill setup (headshot + straight) which will lead to him creating random
Cephalos. There is no way to avoid this unless you play Safari Chris as a leg
stun character (preferably with lag shot) in stages where random Cephalos are
found.
Safari Chris' shotgun also has a very high critical rate when it hits a Majini
in the head. Always try to aim for a Majini's body and legs when shooting a
Majini with the shotgun to avoid a crical head shot.
-- MELEE KILLING CEPHLAOS WITH SAFARI CHRIS
As already mentioned, Safari Chris will be breeding Cephalos quite often at
times in stages with random Cephalos. To melee kill a Cephalo, you'll have to
hit it with an extremely close M3 blast or weaken it a bit with one or two
handgun shots then blast it with the M3 to set it up for a stomp. It's really
best to aim to kill the Cephalo with the shotgun most of the time since shotgun
blast melee killing is very random thanks to the pellet scread.
-- MELEE KILLING WITH THE SHOTGUN
Safari Chris players will run out of handgun ammo on some runs eventually.
Safari Chris gets less handgun ammo drops than other Chris types. You might be
forced to use the shotgun to set up stomps. Basically, aim for the legs of a
Majini and fire to knock them to the ground then run up and stomp - try to
avoid stomping the head.

"Loading grenade... open fire!"
When it comes to the overall best Chris type for The Mercenaries, STARS Chris
wins hands down over the other Chris types. He has something for every type of
situation. He has a low damaging machine gun to set up melee kills, a magnum
for boss killing (and it helps him set up melee kills) and a grenade launcher
that can allow him to instantly kill plagas and save melee kills on weakened
Majini with flash rounds and the grenade launcher can set up some extremely
time building multi melee kills with nitrogen rounds.
With the right amount of luck, STARS Chris can easily rival a Wesker player for
high scores in The Mercenaries. The only thing that really sets him apart from
a Wesker is that he relies on random leg stuns and has no dash to save melee
kills on weakened Majini. If he could get a leg stun with each leg shot, STARS
Chris could rival Wesker scores and more easily surpass them.

STARS Chris comes decked out with everything needed for a stage in his
beginning inventory. He comes equipped with plenty of machine gun ammo and
will get frequent machine gun ammo drops from enemy kills. His magnum already
holds 12 bullets and he also has 6 extra bullets in his inventory. STARS Chris
seems to receive magnum ammo from enemy drops at a decent enough rate to keep
him from running out of ammo for it as long as the magnum is used only when
needed.
STARS Chris carries a grenade launcher that comes equipped with electric rounds
from the start. He will receive random grenade round drops from enemies every
now and then. He will mainly only need flash rounds and nitrogen rounds for
the majority of the stages however. To free up inventory space, it's almost
always best to discard his electric rounds after finding and loading flash or
nitrogen rounds.
In some stages such as The Mines and Missile Area, nitrogen and flash rounds
have the potential to do more harm than help (ruin melee kills on dynamite and
cocktail Majini). A STARS Chris player can discard his grenade launcher to
elminate grenade round drops and get a better chance at machine gun ammo and
magnum ammo. Grenade round drops can easily become frustrating at times for
both Chris and any partner in duo - the grenade round drops will sometimes be
dropped instead of some needed ammo that could have been dropped.
--> S.T.A.R.S. Chris' SIG 556 machine gun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SIG 556 (MG)
Firepower: 160
Capacity: 65
Reload Speed: 2.55 sec.
Special: ---------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARS Chris' SIG 556 machine gun is his main weapon to set up melee kills with.
It's quite easy to set up a melee kill with the SIG and there are several ways
to do so with its overall low damage ouput. As you know, leg stuns are random,
but STARS Chris has the best overall chance at leg stuns more than any other
Chris type. Since the SIG 556 takes off little damage per hit, Chris will have
many chances to get a leg stun through leg shots.
From a range, the recoil can mess up precision shots, but the recoil is not
near as bad as Clubbin' Sheva's AK. While the SIG 556 is not as accurate as
both Jill types' machine guns, the SIG can have some decent accuracy with good
aim. A STARS Chris player will mainly use this weapon for close range combat,
so the recoil doesn't really matter too much.
Two SIG shots to the body and one SIG shot to the legs for a leg stun followed
by an uppercut is the usual method for setting a Majini up for an uppercut
melee kill. One shot to the body and two shots to the legs with the SIG will
also set up an uppercut melee kill. Knowing both of these melee kill methods
will come in handy for STARS Chris. The first melee kill method requires more
precision and is overall slower. The second melee kill method can be done
quite fast - literally hold the trigger for rapid fire and aim at the Majini's
body then drag the SIG downward while blasting at the Majini's legs.
Using a machine gun to set up melee kills requires good timing and that's one
thing a player will have to learn on their own with STARS Chris. Knowing how
long you should down the trigger while aiming is a big factor to using STARS
Chris well. The timing for Chris' shots needed for melee kills is really
nothing that you can see in videos, you just have to get the feel for it. In
the case of Big Man Majini melee kills with the machine gun, their stagger
animations give off how many times Chris has hit them (four shots = one
stagger).
--> S.T.A.R.S. Chris' S&W M29 magnum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- S&W M29 (MAG)
Firepower: 2,100
Capacity: 12
Reload Speed: 3.53 sec.
Special: Level 3 Piercing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The M29 magnum is the main weapon that separates STARS Chris from all the other
Chris types. STARS Chris has a boss killing weapon with frequent ammo drops!
The M29 magnum is the weakest of all magnums but it has the best capacity and
the quickest rate of fire out of all the magnums. The M29 magnum is very easy
to aim for precision aiming also. The gun does not obstruct the view of the
player while aiming at all and the red laser trail is very easy to see!
The M29 magnum deals out 2100 damage per shot. STARS Chris can set up any boss
for a melee kill with magnum shots (and possibly some extra SIG 556 shots for
some extra damage needed to make a melee actually kill). While the other two
Chris types in normal Mercs have no definite melee kill method for bigger
enemies and bosses, STARS Chris can get an easy kill on most bigger enemies and
all bosses.
STARS Chris' magnum is easily what makes him the best Chris type overall. The
magnum can also be used to save the combo from a distance on any normal Majini.
The only real problem that Chris faces with a low damaging magnum is a sudden
Cephalo spawn and killing bosses enemies with high HP. He can still kill all
of these enemies quicker than the other Chris types, but he is open to Majini
attacks and grabs while filling the enemy full of lead, so you'll need to take
that into consideration while shooting.
--> S.T.A.R.S. Chris' grenade launcher
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Grenade Launcher
Acid Round Firepower: 500
Electric Round Firepower: 400
Explosive Round Firepower: 1,000
Flame Round Firepower: 500
Flash Round Firepower: 100
Nitrogen Round Firepower: 100
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As if STARS Chris was not already good enough with his machine gun and magnum,
he also comes equipped with a grenade launcher. From the start, the grenade
launcher is pretty useless with only electric rounds, but STARS Chris will
sometimes get flash rounds and nitrogen rounds from enemy drops. Acid rounds
and explosive rounds are only useful on certain stages. Flame rounds are
basically useless and only really used for boss stunning on Chainsaw Majini or
extra firepower. Below is a list of all grenade rounds and their uses:
- Acid Rounds
Acid rounds are most useful on Experimental Facility. Lickers are very weak to
the acid spread of an acid round, so Chris can kill off groups of Lickers with
one acid round shot. A player can knock a Licker on its back with an acid
round shot and set it up for a stab melee. Knocking a Licker over with an acid
round requires a non-direct hit that hits the Licker from the front or a direct
hit one of the Licker's front legs.
Acid rounds will also stun the Reaper boss enemy with two direct shots to any
portion of its body. Just shoot the Reaper with two acid rounds to make it
bend backward and expose its main chest weak point to which Chris can easily
shoot with a magnum shot to kill it off with a single shot.
Acid rounds will stun a crowd of Majini and make them all fall face first for
Chris to easily stomp, but the falling animation takes too long to usually
bother with and the Majini all get up quickly most of the time and are damaged
and more prone to bullet kils at that time.
- Electric Rounds
Electric rounds are most useful for quickly breaking apart cracked walls and
wooden doors on Public Assembly and Prison. It will take two shots per cracked
wall to break it. Wooden doors will take a single shot to break compared to
several shots with any other weapon.
Electric rounds can be used on Wetland Majini to easily weaken crowds for quick
melee kills. After one electric round shot, all Majini that were hit can be
killed with Chris' straight and uppercut if he can set it up on the weakened
Majini. Using an electric round along with flash rounds and flash grenades can
help out a bunch for Wetland Majini groups - shoot a crowd with the electric
round then stun them all with a flash explosive and kill them with straight
punches.
Electric rounds also take off a bunch of damage from any plagas enemies. They
can kill both Duvalias and Cephalos quickly when shot at any portion of their
body. A Cephalo will die within two electric round hits while a Duvalia will
take about three to four hits most of the time.
NOTE: Electric rounds can set off dynamite, cocktails and explosive arrows so
do not shoot any of the these Majini types with electric rounds or you'll risk
ruining melee kills.
- Explosive Rounds
Explosive rounds are best used on Experimental Facilty while fighting Lickers
Betas. By aiming at the front legs or directly in front of the Licker and
firing an explosive round, Chris can hit the Licker and knock it over to set it
up for a stab melee kill. So long as the explosive hit does not take full
damage and hits the Licker from the front side, the Licker will be tumped over
and set up for a stab melee kill. An explosive round is much easier to use in
setting up a melee kill on a Licker Beta when compared to an acid round.
Explosive rounds can also be used to break open cracked walls on Prison and
Public Assembly, but it's really best to use the starting electric rounds for
that purpose to avoid the time needed in picking up the explosive rounds and
wasting of inventory space in carrying them.
- Flame Rounds
For the most part flame rounds are basically useless. They can be use to stun
the Chainsaw Majini on Ship Deck, but that is really not needed since Chris can
stun the Chainsaw Majini with a leg or head shot with the M29 magnum. They are
best used for needed ammo on Experimental Facility against Licker Betas if
Chris is running low on ammo. With one flame round shot, Chris can break open
a cracked wall on Public Assembly and Prison with this grenade round, but his
starting electric rounds can work just as well.
Like acid rounds, flame rounds will stun a Majini and make a Majini fall to the
ground for an easy stomp, but it takes just as long for the Majini to fall to
worry with using them for that purpose.
- Flash Rounds
Flash rounds have the ability to kill off any plagas enemy instantly with its
blinding flash. Flash rounds also allow Chris to save melee kills on weakened
Majini.
DO NOT fire a flash round when a dynamite, explosive arrow or cocktail Majini
is in the area. The blinding flash will cause dynamite and explosive arrow to
explode and mess up melee kills around them. Cocktail Majini will burst into
flames and burn any surrounding enemies.
NOTE: Keep in mind that a direct hit with a flash round will take off 100
damage, so hitting a weakened Majini with a flash round can kill it if the
Majini is weak enough.
- Nitrogen Rounds
Nitrogen rounds will instantly freeze any normal Majini type that does not hold
an explosive of any type. The Majini will be frozen and Chris will be able to
straight punch all the frozen Majini for a melee kill. A Chris player can
group Majini into a crowd then straight punch through multiple frozen Majini at
once. Grouping Majini for nitro freezes and just overall nitrogen round use
can GREATLY increase time from melee kills when the nitrogen rounds are used
properly.
Nitrogen rounds can freeze Big Man Majini and even allow Chris the option of
melee killing a Licker Beta. Basically, Chris can freeze a Licker then do some
form of action that causes him to hit Licker with his body after performing the
action. Leaping from a platform, falling from a platform, hopping over the
railing - all of this will melee kill a frozen Licker.
A nitrogen round will freeze the following enemies:
Town Majini
Wetland Majini (destroys shield and freezes shield Majini)
Base Majini (all types)
Big Man Majini
Licker Beta (no melee command)
Bui Kichwa (no melee command)
Extra Tips:
- Melee kills can be saved by freezing a weakened Majini with a nitrogen round.
A player MUST remember that a nitrogen round will take 100 damage per direct
hit however, so an extremely weak Majini must be hit indirectly - the nitrogen
round must be shot at the ground below the Majini or the shot must hit an
obstacle near it.
- A direct nitrogen round shot to an Explosive Arrow Wetland Majini will freeze
it. Any non-direct hit to an Explosive Arrow Majini with a nitrogen round will
cause it to explode.
- A direct hit with a nitrogen round on a transforming Duvalia will instantly
kill it much like a hand grenade explosion. The nitrogen round must be shot
before the full Duvalia mutation is complete however.

This section is a listing of damage that each of STARS Chris' melees and
weapons will take from each enemy in The Mercenaries. Each Enemy has its total
HP amounts listed along with damage modifiers. The amount of damage that each
of Chris' melees and weapons take from each portion of the enemy is listed
below the HP amounts and modifiers. Basically, if you want to make up your own
melee kill, then add up a total amount of shots leading up to a melee and make
sure that full amount is greater than the enemy's HP.
NOTE: Some of the damage listings per enemy can be off a bit. Some of enemies
such as the Gatling Gun Majini appear to have a random weapon damage modifier
for some weapons.

-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 1
*******************************************************************************
a) SIG 556 chest shot -> SIG 556 chest shot -> SIG 556 leg stun shot ->
Uppercut
b) SIG 556 chest shot -> SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 leg stun shot -> Uppercut
*******************************************************************************
These are the main melee kill setups that a STARS Chris player should be
familiar with. You need to train yourself to do these combinations very
quickly. The first combination takes a bit longer than the second. The first
has to hit the chest precisely two times, while the second can be easily
performed by holding the SIG toward a Majini's chest then firing the machine
gun while lowering the weapon toward the Majini's legs.
It's a good idea to know both of these melee kill sequences since they both
come in handy. Against a crowd of Majini, it's much better to use the second
melee kill setup since it's overall quicker and will allow a player to stun or
knock down Majini quickly.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 2
*******************************************************************************
SIG 556 chest/leg shot -> SIG 556 chest/leg shot -> Stomp
*******************************************************************************
A few SIG shots to the legs to ground a Majini is a good stomp setup for Town
Majini that are at a distance from Chris. This can also be good for cocktail
Majini, dynamite Majini and Base Majini with grenade straps to avoid setting
off their explosives. When up against a group of Majini, a player can quickly
ground multiple Majini with rapid fire to the legs then stomp them afterwards.
It's very important to listen for the two shots before attempting a stomp on a
grounded Majini. It's quite easy to mess up a stomp melee kill by accidentally
grounding a Majini with a single shot. The stomp will not kill at that time
and the melee kill will be basically ruined unless you wait for the Majini to
rise then toss a flash grenade.
Wetland Majini will get up unless they are heavily damage prior to a knock
down. It's best to try to kill them off with Uppercuts (both standing and
grounded hits) rather than stomps.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 3
*******************************************************************************
a) SIG 556 chest shot -> SIG 556 chest shot -> SIG 556 head stun shot ->
Straight
b) SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 head stun shot -> Straight
*******************************************************************************
Sometimes, Chris will not always gain a leg stun when fighting against multiple
Majini. Leg stuns are random and will not always activate, but thanks to the
SIG 556's weak gunshots, Chris can set up a straight punch melee kill after two
chest or leg shots. His straight punch is good for crowds much like his
uppercut, but it scatters Majini after it hits, so it has less potential to set
up a double stomp.
Keep in mind that a head shot and a straight punch can both give you a critical
head explosion. In Mercs stages with the possibility for random Cephalos, the
headshot + straight punch combination can backfire on a player and give that
player a Cephalo spawn. In other words, don't try to head shot and straight
punch female Majini on Public Assembly that often!
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 4
*******************************************************************************
SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 leg shot -> SIG 556 leg stun
shot -> Uppercut
*******************************************************************************
The melee kill setup above is not really something that a player will want to
aim for, but it's good to keep this one in mind. If a Town or Base Majini is
shot in the legs four times and gives a leg stun pose after the four shots, it
can be killed off with an uppercut. You'll mainly get this while trying to
ground a Majini with rapid fire.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 5
*******************************************************************************
SIG 556 leg stun shot -> Neck Breaker
*******************************************************************************
Like with all Chris types, a single shot to the leg that yields a leg stun can
set up a neck breaker melee after Chris steps around to the back of the Majini.
A neck breaker will cancel any scripted plagas spawn that would have otherwise
occurred and it is always an instant kill.
With STARS Chris, when attemping a neck breaker on a Majini that isn't a
scripted Cephalo, it's a good idea to shoot the Majini once in the body with
the SIG then once in the leg to set up a stun. This way, if the Majini falls
to the ground, Chris can stomp it kill it instantly instead of having to race
around to the head for a critical stomp.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 6
*******************************************************************************
Critical head stomp
*******************************************************************************
STARS Chris will have to use a critical head stomp more often than the other
Chris types since you'll likely hit a few Majini with a single SIG shot while
trying to ground them instead. To instantly kill that grounded Majini, quickly
run around to the Majini's top half and face its head then perform the stomp to
crush its head under Chris' boot. Keep in mind that a head stomp can set off
random Cephalos in stages that carry them so it's not always good to try for a
critical head stomp (especially on Missile Area).

Critical head stomp on fallen Majini
* The Majini MUST be hit with two shots to any portion of the body prior to a
normal stomp in order for the stomp to kill. If the Majini is only shot once,
it will not be killed by a stomp - this is a major flaw of STARS Chris and it
WILL happen on accident eventually. The stomp must not hit the legs of the
Majini if it only receives two shots to the legs prior to the stomp. If not,
the Majini will survive the stomp - this only happens if two Majini are
grounded next to each other and the stomp is activated on both so that Chris'
foot hits the legs of one Majini.

Nitrogen Round -> Straight (activated on Wetland Majini that hits Bui Kichwa)
Nitrogen Round -> Hop through window/fall off cliff (any action that makes
Chris fall on the Bui Kichwa)
* Out of all of Chris' melees the Uppercut will be your best chance at a
hitting a Bui Kichwa. Basically, you'll have to set up a leg stun on a Wetland
Majini then aim the uppercut so that it will hit a Bui Kichwa. This is MUCH
easier said than done and you're likely to get this more on accident or by
chance rather than trying to actually set it up.

* This melee kill is kind of luck based. The electric round must knock the
Cephalo over.
** Both melee kills that involve shooting a Cephalo's legs are all luck based.
Sometimes the Cephalo will fall and sometimes it won't.
*** The four SIG shots will make the Cephalo start to get up and the second
explosive round will knock it back down and set it up for a stomp melee kill.

-- Big Man Majini - 4000
IMPORTANT: For a Big Man, remember that four SIG 556 chest shots will make him
stagger. He will perform his stagger animation for every four SIG chest shots,
so if you fire rapidly and see him stagger three times, you just hit him twelve
times.
M29 chest shot -> M29 leg stun shot -> Straight
M29 leg shot -> M29 leg stun shot -> Straight
SIG chest shot x12 -> M29 leg shot -> Straight *
Stomp -> SIG chest shot x7 -> M29 leg shot -> Straight *
* The key to timing this well is to know that the Big Man will stagger right
after the 12th SIG shot, so shoot him in the leg with the magnum after the
third stagger. This melee kill combination is good to use on Prison where
magnum ammo can be rare.
* This combination is for when a stomp accidentally hits a Big Man Majini prior
to shooting it (aka. it lunges into Chris' foot while he stomps). Remember
that you will get one stagger animation and will have to perform the magnum leg
shot before the second stagger.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- TWO SIG SHOTS BEFORE A STOMP
Drill this into your head. Chris MUST hit all normal Town Majini (not Wetland,
female, or the weaker Mines Majinin) with two SIG 556 shots prior to a stomp in
order for the stomp to kill the Majini for a melee kill. Stomping a normal
Town Majini that has only been hit with one SIG shot prior to a fall will take
off 600 damage from it and not kill it, thereby screwing up a melee kill.
Messing up a stomp melee kill can be a major flaw when using STARS Chris since
it's sometimes hard to tell how many SIG shots a running Majini has received as
it rolls to the ground. If a Majini only receives one SIG shot before being
grounded, quickly move on to another Majini or shoot the grounded Majini to
make it get up faster. Chris can run to the Majini's head and perform a
critical head stomp on its head also - in stages with random Cephalos, this can
REALLY backfire on him though since he can activate a random Cephalo with that
critical head stomp.
-- LEG SHOT, STEP IN, NO LEG STUN, STEP OUT, TRY AGAIN
It will take quite a few hits on a Majini's legs at times in order to activate
a leg stun since they are completely random. One technique that many STARS
Chris players use is to try for a leg stun with a SIG shot while stepping close
then, if you fail to get one, quickly back off and try for another. This will
help to keep Chris safe from any surrounding Majini grabs since he will stay
moving during this process. The moment you get a leg stun, rush forward and
uppercut.
This is a good method to use when one Majini keep failing to yield a leg stun.
It's NOT good to stand still at all. The longer Chris stands still, the longer
he will be open for a grab. Don't try to keep leg stunning one Majini in a
crowd either. Shoot the legs of multiple Majini in a crowd and watch for a leg
stun pose.
-- HERDING MAJINI FOR A NITRO FREEZE
Nitrogen rounds should not be wasted at all. It is best to keep them until
your character is either surrounded or manages to group several Majini together
for a big freeze with one shot. They are not to be wasted. Never use them
just because you have them.
-- FREEZING SCRIPTED CEPHALO MAJINI WITH NITROGEN ROUNDS
When you cannot get a leg stun on a scripted Cephalo Majini or when a scripted
Cephalo Majini is in a crowd, it's a good idea to use a nitrogren round to
freeze the scripted Cephalo. Freezing scripted Cephalos can help out a bunch
on stages such as Ship Deck when Chris can't activate a leg stun. Say... if a
scripted Cephalo red wrench Majini falls to the ground after the first leg
shot, Chris can blast the fallen Majini with a nitrogen and stomp it to cancel
the Cephalo and gain a melee kill.
-- FLASH ROUND AND ELECTRIC ROUNDS USED TO PURPOSELY KILL DYNAMITE AND
EXPLOSIVE ARROW MAJINI
Sometimes flash rounds and electric rounds can come in handy when trying to
save the combo if dynamite Majini or explosive arrow Wetland Majini are in the
area. Simply firing off one of the grenade types at either Majini type will
cause them to instantly explode. This can help out for saving the combo at
times... like, if you run out of magnum ammo!
-- USING THE SIG 556 TO WEAKEN AND SAVE MAGNUM AMMO ON A BIG MAN MAJINI
I listed two melee kill methods for killing a Big Man Majini with only one
magnum shot in the full melee kill list up above. It's very advisable to learn
these combinations for Prison mainly. In Prison, magnum ammo is very much
needed for the Prison Executioners, so conserving magnum ammo is very
important!
-- PLAYING WITHOUT A GRENADE LAUNCHER
I'd actually recommend that a STARS Chris player practice playing without a
grenade launcher at some points (discard it). When playing without a grenade
launcher, nitro rounds are not there to help you at all. Chris has to get by
strictly with the machine gun only. It's some good training for players that
want to practice conserving nitro rounds when they actually have a grenade
launcher.
Getting rid of the grenade launcher will also give you quite a bit more
inventory space as well. It's quite refreshing at times.

Warrior Chris is basically everything that Safari Chris should have been in
normal RE5 Mercenaries. He has very few melee kill flaws with his main melee
kill setup and his handgun does not critical near as often as Safari Chris' SIG
P226 handgun did. Since Chris' straight punch takes off 600 damage in Reunion,
Warrior Chris' low damaging handgun is a godsend for setting up melee kills
since it can actually hit a Majini in the head twice without killing it.
Warrior Chris should be used as a head stun character in Reunion for the most
part. His headshot + straight punch melee kill sequence will kill just about
any normal Majini. When paired up with a Barry or Rebecca partner, Chris'
Uppercut changes to the Rising Upper and his Neck Breaker chances to the Hammer
Elbow. Both melees are extremely overpowed and can kill off normal Majini
without the need for prior damage. The only flaw with the extra powered melees
with Warrior Chris is that, he cannot cancel plagas spawns without his neck
breaker!

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I N V E N T O R Y < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrior Chris starts with the following items in his inventory:
- H&K P8 Handgun (with 25 handgun bullets)
- 30 Handgun Ammo
- Hydra Shotgun (with 10 shotgun shells)
- 15 Shotgun Shells
- 1 PSG-1 Rifle (with 15 rifle bullets)
Below is a diagram of his inventory from the start:
.-----------------------------------.

| Handgun | PSG-1 | Shotgun |

| | | |
|-----------+-----------+-----------|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
As you can see, Warrior Chris starts out with a low extra ammo count for each
of his main two weapons. He won't get many handgun and shotgun drops at times.
He seems to get rifle ammo quite a bit however, which is really not needed in
most stages. If you don't need the PSG-1 rifle, it's really best to discard it
to eliminate rifle ammo drops and free up some inventory space.
Warrior Chris is going to be using his P8 handgun and his Hydra shotgun quite a
bit throughout a Reunion run. It's good to horde ammo for each weapon.
Shotgun shells will tend to pile up if you pick up every available shotgun
drop, but handgun ammo never does really pile up in Warrior's inventory since
he'll be using it so much. Warrior is primarily a headshot melee character,
but he can be used as a leg stun melee character as well at times.
--> Warrior Chris' P8 handgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- P8 (HG)
Firepower: 300
Capacity: 25
Reload Speed: 1.02 sec.
Special: Level 3 Piercing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the type of handgun that Safari Chris should have had in normal RE5
Mercs. Warrior Chris' handgun takes off moderate damage and sets enemies up
for a Straight punch melee kill always. Since Warrior Chris' Straight punch
melee takes off 600 damage in Mercs Reunion, he will always kill off any normal
Majini type with a headshot followed by a Straight punch.
The P8 is the same handgun that is used by Midnight Wesker in normal RE5 Mercs.
It's bullets still have a piercing propery that will allow them to pierce
through Majini and any shields they might carry. Since Chris' handgun takes
off 300 damage and his Straight takes off 600 damage in Reunion, any piercing
shot on Majini will set them up for a Straight melee kill, so one tactic while
using Warrior Chris is to line up damaged Majini for a single Straight punch to
get a multiple hit.
--> Warrior Chris' Hydra shotgun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hydra (SG)
Firepower: 400
Capacity: 10
Reload Speed: 3.30
Special: Attack Range: 24
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrior Chris comes equipped with the Hydra shotgun that STARS Wesker used in
regular RE5 Mercs. The firepower has been lowered a bit, and the attack range
is not as great. The lower firepower is definitely felt whenever a sudden
Cephalo spawns from a Majini. From close range, the majority of the full
pellet spread of the Hydra shotgun needs to hit a Cephalo in order to kill it.
The Hydra can hold 10 shotgun shells at a time, so Chris will not have to
reload as much as STARS Wesker. The Hydra shotgun should be used a Warrior's
main boss killing weapon. Besides the lower damage, the Hydra shotgun also
lacks stunning power just like STARS Wesker's Hydra. At least STARS Wesker had
a powerful handgun and magnum that could stun bosses though. Chris has no real
good method to stun bosses from a distance unless you bring along hand grenades
to stun them or use the PSG-1. It's really best to circle around a boss and
shoot the boss with the shotgun instead of relying on any stunning weapon
besides a hand grenade however.
--> Warrior Chris' PSG-1 rifle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PSG-1 (RIF)
Firepower: 1200
Capacity: 15
Reload Speed: 1.98 sec.
Special: Level 8 Scope
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrior Chris' PSG-1 rifle can be both a blessing and a curse depending on the
stage that you are playing. He really only needs the rifle on Missile Area and
Ship Deck for the most part. Other than those two stages, he really doesn't
need this weapon. The PSG-1 rifle is about the same strength as Battle Suit
Jill's PSG-1 from normal RE5 Mercs - it even has the level 8 scope zoom still!
In stages where this weapon is not needed, keeping it in Warrior Chris'
inventory will only make enemies drop rifle ammo when they could have dropped
more useful handgun or shotgun ammo instead. It's a good idea to discard the
PSG-1 rifle from the beginning in stages where it is not needed. Rifle ammo
can be constant at times from enemy drops if Warrior Chris keeps this weapon in
his inventory.
The PSG-1 rifle can serve as a decent long range combo saving weapon or boss
stunning weapon, but his handgun can works just as well for long range with
some good aiming really.

This section is a listing of damage that each of Warrior Chris' melees and
weapons will take from each enemy in The Mercenaries. Each Enemy has its total
HP amounts listed along with damage modifiers. The amount of damage that each
of Chris' melees and weapons take from each portion of the enemy is listed
below the HP amounts and modifiers. Basically, if you want to make up your own
melee kill, then add up a total amount of shots leading up to a melee and make
sure that full amount is greater than the enemy's HP.
NOTE: Some of the damage listings per enemy can be off a bit. Some of enemies
such as the Gatling Gun Majini appear to have a random weapon damage modifier
for some weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 1
*******************************************************************************
P8 head stun shot -> Straight
*******************************************************************************
A P8 shot to the head followed by a straight punch will kill off any normal
Majini for a melee kill. Since Warrior Chris' handgun will pierce, it can hit
multiple Majini and set each of them up for a straight melee kill. All Chris
has to do is hit a Majini in any portion of the body in order for a straight
punch to kill that Majini. Each shot will take off 300 damage and each
straight punch will take off 600 damage, which is much greater than the common
800 health normal Majini.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 2
*******************************************************************************
P8 body shot -> P8 leg stun shot -> Uppercut
*******************************************************************************
Much like Safari Chris in normal RE5 Mercs, Warrior Chris can kill off a Majini
with a body shot and leg shot followed by an uppercut. Chris' uppercut takes
off around 450 damage in Mercs Reunion, so it needs more prior damage than his
straight punch in order for it to kill.
Just like Safari Chris, Warrior Chris will kill off a Majini with the third P8
shot to any portion of the body, so the second hit must stun. A player can
shoot a Majini in the legs twice and uppercut as well, or take advantage of a
lag shot after getting the first leg stun shot on a Majini.
It should be noted that Chris can kill off female and Wetland Majini with a
single leg stun shot followed by an uppercut since they all have only 700
health. Warrior Chris can be a real beast in Wetland stages because of this.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 3
*******************************************************************************
P8 chest shot -> P8 arm stun shot -> Hook/Kick
*******************************************************************************
This is not a melee sequence that you'll be wanting to purposely try for, but
if you happen to get an arm stun shot after hitting a weakened Majini that has
already been shot once, then it can be killed with a Hook or Kick. A player
that hits a Majini in the arm from the start can run up to the Majini and
perform a quick lag shot followed by a Hook/Kick as well.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 4
*******************************************************************************
P8 leg stun shot -> Neck Breaker
*******************************************************************************
The usual leg stun shot from the P8 handgun followed by a Neck Breaker from
behind will still kill off any normal Majini instantly for a melee kill and
eliminate the chance of a random or scripted plagas spawn.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 5
*******************************************************************************
P8 leg stun shot -> Rising Upper (duo with Rebecca/Barry partner only)
*******************************************************************************
While teamed up with a Barry or Rebecca partner in duo Reunion, Chris' uppercut
melee will be replaced by his Rising Upper melee. This melee takes off 2000
damage with each hit, so it will kill off any normal Majini that Chris hits
with his rising uppercut. The Rising Upper is a good melee to set up multiple
melee kills with when Majini are piled up. The Rising Upper hits a wide area
in front of Chris and it has delay which will allow Majini to pile up before it
hits.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 6
*******************************************************************************
P8 leg stun shot -> Hammer Elbow (duo with Rebecca/Barry partner only)
*******************************************************************************
While teamed up with a Barry or Rebecca partner in duo Reunion, Chris' neck
breaker melee will be replaced by his Hammer Elbow melee. The Hammer Elbow
takes off 1500 damage with each hit, which will kill off any normal Majini that
Chris hits with his elbow. The Hammer Elbow does not have as much range as the
Rising Upper but it still has good delay to allow Majini to pile up before the
melee.

easier said than done and you're likely to get this more on accident or by

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- HANDGUN SHOT TO ANY PORTION OF THE BODY + STRAIGHT KILLS
Since Chris' straight punch melee takes off 600 damage in Mercenaries Reunion,
a single shot from his P8 handgun (300 damage) and a straight (600 damage) will
kill off any Majini. This is so helpful to know because it can be used to set
up multiple melee kills by luring weakened Majini into the straight punch aimed
toward another Majini and Chris can stun weakened Majini with a flash grenade
then straight punch them to kill them. Even if the Majini is hit in the leg, a
straight punch will be enough to finish it off for a melee kill.
-- WARRIOR CHRIS VS WETLAND MAJINI, FEMALE MAJINI AND OTHER WEAK MAJINI
Warrior Chris can kill off Wetland Majini and female Majini by simple shooting
them once in the legs to get a leg stun then uppercut them. It only takes one
shot to finish each of them off with an uppercut. Whether you go for leg stuns
and finish them off with an uppercut or go for head stuns and finish them off
with a straight melee kill methods for Wetland Majini are all based on
preference. With leg stuns, they are random, so you have the risk of killing
off the Majini without melee, and with head stuns, they can cause criticals, so
each each method has flaws.
-- RISING UPPER/HAMMER ELBOW MELEES PROS AND CONS
The Rising Upper and Hammer Elbow can help Warrior Chris out greatly. Not only
will he be able to use leg stuns more effectively, but he will also be able to
finish off Big Man Majini easier. With a quick non-direct Hydra blast to the
Big Man Majini, the Big Man will slide back and block then Chris can run up and
kill it with his Rising Upper melee.
The main flaw with the powered melees when using Warrior is that he has no way
to cancel scriped Cephalos when using them. Since the Hammer Elbow takes the
place of his Neck Breaker, he cannot cancel scripted Cephalo spawns and must
always activate them. Scripted Duvalias can be cancelled with a stomp, but a
knockdown will not always occur.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Chris (Heavy Metal) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At first glance, once you see that big gatling gun of his, this Chris type
seems completely useless since melee kills are the main focus for killing off
Majini in Mercenaries Reunion. With enough effort in understanding him,
knowledge of his attack damage (weapon and melee), knowledge of enemy HP and
good timing with his gatling gun shots this Chris can be a time building
machine! His stun rod weapon makes it to where he can melee kill anything with
several attack combinations.
Heavy Metal Chris has one major flaw in the fact that he cannot deal with
bosses that well however - playing him in solo mode shows this weakness all too
well. His gatling gun has a lengthy startup animation where the front barrel
will rotate before the gun fires, which can get him grabbed or hit when trying
to fire quickly.
He is just as flawed as he is good, but with the right amount of dedication and
patience, he is an extremely fun character to learn. Heavy Metal Chris is
actually the most fun Chris type to use in either mode if you ask me. He is so
unique when compared to other characters.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warrior Chris starts with the following items in his inventory:
- Gatling Gun (with infinite bullets)
- Stun Rod
- 3 Hand Grenades
- 3 Proximity Bombs
- 1 Melee Vest
- 1 Bulletproof Vest
Below is a diagram of his inventory from the start:
.-----------------------------------.
| | | |
| | | |
| | Hand | |
| |Grenade (3)| |

| Vest | Bomb (3) | Vest |
| | | |
'-----------------------------------'
Heavy Metal Chris has only three empty spaces in his inventory from the start,
but that shouldn't be a concern at all. Why? Because Chris will not have to
waste his inventory with carrying extra ammo for any of his weapons. His stun
rod is a melee weapon and his gatling gun has an infinite supply of bullets!
The only thing that a Heavy Metal Chris player will have to worry about is
stocking extra explosive weapons (such as a hand grenade) and healing items.
Chris has a melee vest and a bulletproof vest in his inventory at all times.
Both of his vests cannot be discarded - Chris must keep them in his inventory
the whole time. A player can discard Chris' proximity bombs, but they can be
just as useful as his hand grenades on some stages - such as stages with
Duvalias and Reapers.
When it comes to inventory space, Heavy Metal Chris is a bit more free to pick
up just about anything when compared to other characters. In a solo game,
besides the annoying rotten egg pickup, he will only receive explosive drops
and healing items.
--> Heavy Metal Chris' Gatling Gun
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Gatling Gun
Firepower: 350
Capacity: Infinite
Reload Speed: --
Special: --
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Metal Chris' gatling gun comes packed with an infinite supply of bullets.
At first glance, Heavy Metal Chris' gatling gun appears to do nothing but waste
melee kills and allow a player to spam the screen with bullets. With a little
work on the timing, his gatling gun can be used to weaken Majini and set up
melee kills.
The gatling gun takes off 350 damage per shot, so two hits to any portion of a
Majini's body followed by Chris' uppercut will kill off the majority of normal
Town Majini. With weaker Majini such as Wetland Majini or female Majini, it
will only take one shot prior to an uppercut to finish them off. Chris can
shoot a Majini in the head and set up his more powerful straight punch melee,
but the accuracy needed for a headshot with the gatling gun is not really worth
it.
Speaking of accuracy, when it comes to any type of accuracy from long distance
the gatling gun can be extremely bad in hitting a ranged target. The gatling
gun produces such a heavy recoil that whatever you aim at is not likely to get
hit whenever the gatling gun starts firing. The front barrel of the gatling
gun also has to go through a rotation cycle each time before it can be fired,
so saving the combo instantly after a Majini grab or any type of hit from a
Majini can be quite hard since the firing of Heavy Metal Chris' main weapon is
not instant.
It's best to use this weapon in combination with Heavy Metal Chris' stun rod.
The gatling gun is usually used to weaken a Majini in an attempt to set the
Majini up for an uppercut melee. If the leg stun is not activated, Chris can
always save the melee kill with a stun rod hit on the weakened Majini!
When it comes to bosses, the gatling gun is your best gun for weakening a boss,
with a catch - the gatling gun cannot easily stun a boss at all. Chris will
need a hand grenade or a proximity bomb in order to stun an Executioner boss
when it gets close to him. The gatling gun is only effective at weakening an
Executioner from a distance or while the Executioner is stunned. Other than
stunning an Executioner with an explosive, your Heavy Metal Chris is a standing
target while shooting a barrage of bullets at an Executioner that is coming
right toward Chris.
--> Heavy Metal Chris' Gatling Gun Backpack
Surely you notice that huge backpack full of infinite bullets that obstructs
your view while playing as Heavy Metal Chris? That backpack is actually good
to have there. If the gatling gun is discarded, Chris will no longer have the
backpack on his back, but... you want to keep it!
The backpack will protect Chris from side grabs and back grabs. Majini hands
will go right through Chris while the backpack remains on his back. This means
that whatever Majini are behind Chris are of little concern unless one of them
has a weapon. The only way that Heavy Metal Chris can be grabbed is from the
front while he still keeps the gatling gun and backpack in his inventory.
The backpack will take many normal Majini attacks that hit the backpack
directly and don't pierce through the backpack to hit Chris. Attacks such as
hits with a handaxe, green bottle or wrench will hit the backpack first if
Chris has his back turned and this will allow Chris to avoid damage. Chris can
even turn his back toward the Gatling Gun Majini as he begins to fire and allow
the backpack to shield him from the gunfire. The backpack will also shield
Chris from bowgun bolts from bowguns.
The backpack will not shield Chris from all attacks however. Attacks such as a
shovel strike or a long pipe hit may or may not hit Chris through his backpack.
Shovels will sometimes only scrape the backpack and sometimes they will hit
Chris through his backpack - it all depends on how close the Majini is to Chris
and where the weapon hits him. Boss attacks such as the Executioner's attacks
and the Giant Majini attacks will all still damage Chris no matter where they
hit. The Gatling Gun Majini's bullets are the only boss attack that the
backpack will shield him from.
--> Heavy Metal Chris' Stun Rod
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Stun Rod
Firepower: 350
Capacity: --
Reload Speed: --
Special: x5 damage on plagas
cancels plagas spawns
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stun rod is by far the main reason to use Heavy Metal Chris. ANY enemy
that is finished off with a final strike by the stun rod will count as a melee
kill! Because of this, it's a real good idea to remember how much damage that
you have dealt to each enemy in order to finish them off with a stun rod. It's
good to know how much damage each of Chris' melees take off a Majini and how
much each gatling gun shot takes off (350).
For example, if an undamaged Majini falls to the ground, Chris can run over and
activate his stomp to take off 600 damage then finish off the Majini with a
stun rod attack before it recovers - the stun rod attack will take off 350
damage and will finish off the Majini (800 HP) for a melee kill.
It becomes quite interesting when you think of the possibilities for a melee
kill when it comes to using the stun rod. Heavy Metal Chris has the
possibility to kill off ANY enemy with this weapon, but it's good to deliver
prior damage beforehand. Chris can melee kill Bui Kichwa enemies on Public
Assembly and Village with a single swipe from the stun rod, he can melee kill
Adjules in the Mines with a few shots followed by a stun rod hit, he can melee
kills Lickers... this man can even kill off a Duvalia with rapid fire to the
legs of the Duvalia to bring it to its knees then run over and hit the
Duvalia's mouth with the stun rod!
The best part about killing plagas enemies with the stun rod is that the stun
rod will take off 5 times as much damage per hit against any type of plagas.
It will only take 2 stun rod attacks to kill off a Cephalo compared to the
barrage of bullets from the gatling gun. Hitting an enemy with the stun rod is
much like hitting an enemy with an electric round. The stun rod hits take off
the same amount of damage and have the same damage properties.
NOTE: Hitting a Reaper with the stun rod will stun the Reaper just like an
electric round shot!
NOTE: One final hit to a scripted plagas Majini with the stun rod will cancel
the plagas spawn much like Chris' neck breaker. This needs to be put to use
often in Mercs Reunion!
--> Heavy Metal Chris' Hand Grenades
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hand Grenade
Direct Hit: 1,500
Area Effect: 1,000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Metal Chris' hand grenades can be VERY important for distance attacks
when playing him. Since the gatling gun has such bad accuracy from long range
along with such a bad startup per shot, Chris' hand grenades can be used to
kill off long range targets at a quicker rate if needed. A hand grenade tossed
at the legs of a mutating Duvalia is a very quick way to kill off a Duvalia
also just like with BSAA Chris in normal RE5 Mercs!
Along with his Promixity Bombs, the Hand Grenades are also Chris' only way to
stun some bosses quickly. The gatling gun will take several shots to stun a
boss but a hand grenade will stun many bosses instantly with a direct hit with
the explosive blast.
--> Heavy Metal Chris' Proximity Bombs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Proximity Bomb
Direct Hit: 1,500
Area Effect: 1,000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heavy Metal Chris' proximity bombs are another good way to stun bosses when
they follow Chris. These can also be used to help keep the combo while running
away from enemies. Proximity bombs can also be more effective against Duvalias
if they have already mutated and are coming toward Chris - just place one on
the ground and allow the Duvalia to step over it while it chases Chris.
Whether you should discard the proximity bombs from the beginning of a run or
not is really up to you. In duo mode, they don't have as much purpose since
Heavy Metal Chris will not have to keep the combo all by himself, but, as you
know, in solo mode, the combo is completely under the responsibility of one
player and Chris' proximity bombs can help out in that aspect.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section is a listing of damage that each of Heavy Metal Chris' melees and
weapons will take from each enemy in The Mercenaries. Each Enemy has its total
HP amounts listed along with damage modifiers. The amount of damage that each
of Chris' melees and weapons take from each portion of the enemy is listed
below the HP amounts and modifiers. Basically, if you want to make up your own
melee kill, then add up a total amount of shots leading up to a melee and make
sure that full amount is greater than the enemy's HP.
NOTE: Some of the damage listings per enemy can be off a bit. Some of enemies
such as the Gatling Gun Majini appear to have a random weapon damage modifier
for some weapons.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 1
*******************************************************************************
Gatling Gun shot -> Gatling Gun shot -> Uppercut/Stun Rod Strike
*******************************************************************************
When fighting Town Majini, shoot them twice in the legs with the gatling gun
then equip the stun rod and run toward the Majini. If the Majini is stunned in
the leg then uppercut the Majini, if the Majini is not stunned, hit it with the
stun rod. Wetland Majini can be killed off with a single shot from the Gatling
Gun to any portion of the body followed by an uppercut. A stun rod strike will
kill a Wetland Majini after one gatling gun body shot or two leg shots.
Each gatling gun shot takes off 350 damage so just two shots from it already
inflict 700 damage on a Majini. The stun rod hits inflict 350 damage also and
Chris' uppercut takes off 450 damage from a Majini. Be sure to keep these
figures in mind - they help out a bunch when using Heavy Metal Chris since he
can get a melee kill on every enemy if you keep up with the damage inflicted.
NOTE: Keep in mind that a stun rod strike will cancel a plagas spawn, so when
fighting a Majini that is a scripted Cephalo, you'll want to damage it a bit
then finish it off with the stun rod, or neck break it. A stun rod is faster
at stunning a normal scripted Cephalo Majini when compared to Chris' neck
breaker.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 2
*******************************************************************************
a) Stun Rod Strike -> Stun Rod Strike -> Stun Rod Strike
b) Stun Rod Strike -> Hook/Kick -> Stun Rod Strike
c) Stun Rod Strike -> Straight
*******************************************************************************
The stun rod works very well when attacking Majini from close range, especially
in tight areas when Majini surround Chris. A player can easily get multiple
melee kills with stun rod strikes at times. Each strike takes off 350 damage
so three hits will kill the majority of most Majini.
The stun rod will set up stuns just like the gatling gun. Most of the time,
it's quite hard to control what portion of the body that Chris will hit with
the stun rod, but when a Majini tries to grab, a stun rod strike at that time
will usually head stun it. A stun rod hit followedy by a straight is an
instant kill to any type of normal Majini. Since Chris' straight takes 600
damage in Reunion, a stun rod strike before it will guarantee a melee kill most
of the time.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 3
*******************************************************************************
Incendiary Grenade -> Stun Rod Strike
*******************************************************************************
Incendiary Grenade are similar to a flash grenade for Wesker in normal Mercs or
nitro rounds to STARS Chris and Tribal Sheva. When tossed at a crowd, an
incendiary grenade will damage all Majini for 500 damage. Chris can run toward
the Majini as they fall and hit them with the stun rod to kill them. He can
get multiple melee kills very easily with this combination.
Incendiary Grenades are Heavy Metal Chris' best answer for crowds of Majini.
Just one can instantly burn a whole crowd of six Majini and set all of them up
for one-hit stun rod melee kills. Be sure to collect incendiary grenades when
they are available.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 4
*******************************************************************************
Gatling Gun leg stun shot -> Neck Breaker
*******************************************************************************
Even though the neck breaker is slow, it is the best way to cancel some of the
more powerful scripted plagas enemies such as the Agitator and Allyson on
Public Assembly. The neck breaker is also good for instant invincibility when
a crowd surrounds Chris.
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 5
*******************************************************************************
Gatling Gun head stun shot -> Straight
*******************************************************************************
Now, this is one melee combination that I wouldn't advise trying for since it
is quite hard to get a single head shot with a weapon that has such crappy
precision, but, since Chris' straight does take off 600 damage and a gatling
gun shot will take 350 damage, a shot to the head followed by a straight punch
will kill off any normal Majini.
Have you tried it yet? Can't you see that I just added this useless
combination to keep a person from emailing me about it once they stumble across
it...?
-- MELEE KILL COMBINATION 6
*******************************************************************************
Stomp -> Stun Rod attack
Stun Rod Attack to save melee
*******************************************************************************
A stomp will inflict 600 damage on a Majini whether it is standing or is
grounded. If an undamaged Majini is hit with a stomp in either position
(grounded or standing), simply take out the stun rod and run toward it then
strike it with the stun rod to kill it off.
Heavy Metal Chris' stun rod gives him the power to save any melee kill. A
player can be quite creative with attack variety so long as you end every
combination with a stun rod strike. This is why keeping up with damage while
using Heavy Metal Chris is so very important.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- STUN ROD STRIKE WEAKENED MAJINI
I shouldn't even have to list this as a tip, since it should be on your mind
after reading the info above, but always take out the stun rod and hit any
Majini that will not yield any sort of stun. The stun rod can be used alone to
attack or it can be used in combination with the gatling gun (shoot to weaken
the Majini then stun rod strike).
-- STUN ROD STRIKES ON CROWDS
In closed areas, especially when a group of Majini surrounds Chris, the stun
rod by itself is often the better option rather than bringing out the gatling
gun. The stun rod hits quicker than the gatling gun and it has wider range, so
the stun rod is quite effective for crowd control in just about any area.
Closed areas are where the stun rod shines the most however. That back alley
in Public Assembly can be one time building area when Majini are pinned against
a wall or a corner with the stun rod.
-- FINISH OFF SCRIPTED PLAGAS WITH THE STUN ROD
If Chris can finish off a Majini that is a scripted plagas by hitting it with a
stun rod strike for the final hit, Chris can avoid the plagas spawn. This is
very helpful to know for enemies such as the female scripted Duvalia with the
shovel on Public Assembly or the masked scripted Duvalias on Ancient Ruins, the
Agitator scripted Duvalia on Public Assembly, the Allyson scripted Cephalo on
Public Assmebly, etc.
-- USE INCENDIARY GRENADES FOR CROWDS
Be sure to collect incendiary grenades as much as possible. When you have a
big group of Majini in front of Chris, an incendiary grenade tossed into the
middle of a group of Majini will burn them all and take off enough damage (500
damage) to where a single stun rod strike will kill them afterwards (350
damage).
-- UPPERCUT OR RISING UPPER?
This is an area of controversy for me. Most players will favor the Rising
Upper over Chris' Uppercut when it comes to Heavy Metal Chris, BUT the Uppercut
is so much faster! The Rising Upper will easily gain multiple melee kills
without prior damage, but a player that is used to using only the uppercut and
stun rod for the majority of melee killing might feel a bit confined with the
Rising Upper because of its lengthy animation.
Again, this is all based on preference, but, to me, the normal uppercut and
stun rod combination is better than the Rising Upper. I really feel that the
Rising Upper takes too long when I could be pinning Majini against a wall with
a quick uppercut along with stun rod strikes.
-- CHRIS' BACKPACK
When surrounded by a crowd, be sure to keep in mind that they can only grab
Chris from the front thanks to his metal bullet case backpack. Some weapon
attacks from behind will hit the backpack instead of hitting Chris as well.
The main attacks you have to watch out for are long weapon attacks (metal pipe,
shovel, etc) and boss attacks.
Chris' backpack can deflect gunfire from the Gatling Gun Majini and Majini with
AKs also. Basically, when the Gatling Gun Majini starts to fire at Chris from
a distance, he can turn his back to the Gatling Gun Majini so that his backpack
deflects the bullets. Besides looking hilarious, it's actually quite
effective!

SOLO STRATEGY -
DUO STRATEGY - http://tinyurl.com/3h5d89o
---------------
ALL CHRIS TYPES
---------------
-- DO NOT stomp female Majini in the head.
They are basically all random Cephalos and they have the highest chance for
causing a Cephalo out of any other Majini. If you stomp the head of a female
and your Chris doesn't spawn a Cephalo, you were VERY lucky.
-- Random Cephalos:
- Female
- Axe
- Cocktail
- Green Bottle
- Long Pipe
- Sickle
All of the listed Majini have a higher potential to be random Cephalos among
the Majini types. Besides the notorious female random Cephalos, the Long Pipe
Majini can be just as bad.
-- Aim uppercuts away from a Majini's head
In order to make sure that you don't get a random Cephalo, step to the side of
a Majini during a leg stun (usually the right side) and perform Chris' uppercut
so Chris doesn't hit the head of the Majini with his fist. BSAA Chris and
Safari Chris have the highest potential for causing a random Cephalo. STARS
Chris has less of a chance of activating a random Cephalo through an uppercut,
BUT he can still trigger them just as randomly.
----------
BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- Hand Grenades for the cracked walls
Toss a hand grenade toward the cracked wall of the center building to blow open
the side of the building and gain quick access to the 60 second time bonus
inside. A hand grenade can also be tossed in beweeen the two center buildings
to blow open both of those cracked walls as well. BSAA Chris can gain access
to the two flash grenades inside the building with the stairs. Most players
usually toss the hand grenades to blow open the walls at the beginning of a
run, especially in solo mode.
-- Aim BSAA Chris' uppercuts away from a Majini's head
This goes for all Chris types, but BSAA and Safari Chris have the highest
potential for causing a random Cephalo through an uppercut melee.
-- Hand Grenade against the Exectioner or not?
It's always best to try to kill the Executioner without the use of a hand
grenade, but if a crowd is around the Executioner, consider using a hand
grenade to stun him and kill the crowd. Getting grabbed while trying to kill
the Executioner is just as costly to your score as losing out on melee kills
from the hand grenade - mainly in solo mode.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Aim Safari Chris' uppercuts away from a Majini's head
This goes for all Chris types, but BSAA and Safari Chris have the highest
potential for causing a random Cephalo through an uppercut melee.
-- DO NOT headshot and straight punch females
Shoot females in the legs and neck break them. Shoot them in the legs and lag
shot then uppercut or just uppecut and stomp. When you shoot them in the head
and straight punch, Safari has two high risk chances at causing a random
Cephalo per female Majini melee kill.
-- ALWAYS be ready for an unexpected Cephalo
Safari Chris WILL get random Cephalos eventually with the way he should be
played - headshot + straight - so always be ready to save the combo at a
moment's notice if a Cephalo spawns.
-- Blast the Executioners with rockets
Blast the Executioners with rockets will ruin melee kills often, but it's a
quick kill and it will save time overall. One Executioner will have to killed
with the shotgun.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- Aim Safari Chris' uppercuts away from a Majini's head
This goes for all Chris types, but BSAA and Safari Chris have the highest
potential for causing a random Cephalo through an uppercut melee. STARS Chris
does not have this problem as much - he mainly only gets random Cephalos
through female uppercuts to the head.
-- Electric Rounds for the cracked walls
Shoot two electric rounds toward the cracked wall of the center building to
blow open the side of the building and gain quick access to the 60 second time
bonus inside. Two electric rounds can also be shot in beweeen the two center
buildings to blow open both of those cracked walls as well. STARS Chris can
gain access to the two flash grenades inside the building with the stairs.
Most players usually shoot electric rounds to blow open the walls at the
beginning of a run or toward the middle of a run.
-- Conserve nitro rounds
Conserve nitro rounds for when Chris truly needs them if he gets any. It's
best to end a run with nitro rounds than it is to waste them early and then
suddenly need them toward the end and not have them. If STARS Chris ends with
several nitro rounds, you just did well enough to where they weren't even
needed. Sometimes normal melee killing is faster than a nitro freeze +
straight also.
-- Be ready for the Executioner
Rush toward the Executioner when he appears and kill him quickly. Sometimes
it's best to let the Executioner come to STARS Chris however - it all depends
on if Chris has a crowd of Majini behind him or not. If he does have a crowd
behind him, rush forward to kill the Executioner quickly then rush by him as he
falls and blast his dying body then get back to killing other Majini.

ALL CHRIS TYPES
---------------
-- Random Cephalo List for The Mines:
- Red Wrench
- Pickaxe
- Dynamite (there is one of these and he spawns from top cave fence area)
-- Scripted Cephalos
- Green Bottle
3 of these spawn from the left spawn point at the end of the long tunnel.
While facing the entrance of the tunnel and looking down it, this spawn
point is to the left. They all carry green bottles in their left hand.
- Sickle
2 of these spawn from the northwest spawn point above the high platform.
They are both left handed.
- Pickaxe
2 of these spawn from the fence spawn point in the top cave.
- Bow Gun
This one spawns from the high door spawn point above the combo chest and

- Shovel
This one spawns from the high door spawn point above the combo chest and

----------
BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- Use Grenade or Proximity Bombs to damage the Reaper
When the Reaper appears, lay down a proximity bombs in his path or toss a hand
grenade below him. The resulting explosion will damage the Reaper and cause it
to roll. When it gets back up, it will expose it's chest weak point shortly
afterwards. Shoot it in the chest weak point with then M92F handgun or the
Ithaca shotgun to finish it off.
Hand Grenades need to hit directly in order to take off enough damage to where
a single M92F shot to the weak point will kill. If the hit is not directy, the
Reaper will hunch over and expose it's other weak points. If you decide to use
hand grenades and are unsure if you got a direct hit after the Reaper rolls,
take out the Ithaca shotgun and shoot the Reaper in the chest weak point to
have a better chance of killing it with one shot. With a proximity bombs, the
hit is already directy, so there is no need to take out the Ithaca shotgun.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Safari vs the Reaper
Use two of the rocket launchers to kill two of the Reapers. When facing the
third Reaper, you'll have to use a hand grenade or proximity bombs like BSAA
Chris in order to damage the Reaper then shoot it in its chest weak point when
it rises. The same methods as using the explosives for BSAA Chris still apply
here, so make try to make the explosive hit directly then shoot the Reaper in
the chest weak with the SIG P226 handgun or the M3 shotgun after it rolls.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- STARS Chris vs the Reaper
With precise aim with the M29 magnum, STARS Chris can shoot the Reaper in the
chest weak point when it open its weak point as it walks and kill it instantly.
He can also shoot it in one of its shoulder weak points as it hunches over and
scurries toward him then shoot it in another should weak point when it bends
over. Shooting it in a should weak point will take two magnum shots to kill
it.
STARS Chris can also take advantage of Flash rounds, Acid rounds and Electric
rounds for stunning a Reaper. Flash rounds and Acid rounds will stun a Reaper
and make it expose its chest weak point within two shots. Flash rounds will
stun the Reaper with two indirect shots and Acid rounds will stun the Reaper
with two direct shots. Electric rounds will stun a Reaper to where it will
reveal its shoulder one weak point and one more Electric round shot directly at
a Reaper's should weak point will make it show its chest weak point. Once
again, keep in mind that the second Electric round MUST be shot DIRECTLY at a
should weak point to stun the Reaper completely.
-- Nitrogen rounds for scripted Cephalos
BSAA and Safari Chris must neck break all scripted Cephalos, but STARS Chris
can shoot a scripted Cephalo Majini with a nitrogen round and then straight
punch it to instantly kill it and cancel the Cephalo in the process. This
helps out greatly when a scripted Cephalo Majini is grounded or when it simply
refuses to leg stun.

-- Chris vs Shield Majini
Try to kill off all shield Majini with an uppercut melee. With BSAA Chris and
Safari Chris, shoot the Shield Majini twice in the legs then uppercut, with
STARS Chris, shoot the Shield Majini three times in the legs then uppercut.
Obviously, your aiming needs to be very precise with each Chris type in order
to hit the legs each time.
If a Shield Majini ever gets right up in your face, try to back off and give
yourself some space in order to get a view of its legs. If it comes down to
it, take out a powered weapon and blast the Shield Majini if it won't get out
of your face - this is more of a last resort though.
With enough training a Chris player can use shield Majini to hit Bui Kickwa
with uppercut and hit weakened Wetland Majini. All of this takes practice
though.
-- Stay off the Top Bridge
DO NOT fight on the bridge at the top. Chris will be at such a disadvantage
against Wetland Majini that are below him while on the bridge. Their legs will
not be in view that well because of the angle. It's far better to lead Majini
toward the cave above the bridge or toward building below the bridge.
-- Melee Kill Cephalos
It's a lot easier to tell when a Cephalo is set up for melee on a Wetland
Majini stage when compared to other stages. Like the normal Wetland Majini,
their Cephalos will get up off the ground after being knocked down if they have
not suffered enough damage prior to the fall. This can come in handy for
knowing when they are weak enough to where a stomp will kill them however.
Basically, if a Cephalo falls to the ground after weapon fire and stays there,
it can most likely be stomped to finish it off for a melee kill! With BSAA
Chris it can often be stomped after two shotgun blasts, with Safari Chris, a
few SIG P226 shots followed by a shotgun blast will often set them up for
stomps and with STARS Chris, you'll have to shoot the Cephalo once with the
magnum then fire at its legs and hope that it falls to set it up for a stomp.
-- Melee Kill Bui Kichwa
All Chris types can melee kill Bui Kichwa by working them into uppercuts on
Wetland Majini. Most of the time, an uppercut will kill a Bui Kichwa. STARS
Chris can use nitrogren rounds to freeze and shatter Bui Kickwa while hopping
against them also.
----------
BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- M92F chest shot + M92F leg shot + Uppercut
vs
M92F leg shot + M92F leg shot + Uppercut
BSAA Chris can kill off a Wetland Majini with each of the melee kill methods
listed above, but there is a catch to using each one. If a player shoots the
chest first then shoots the legs, if the Majini falls, it will remain grounded
for a stomp. The bad part about shooting the chest first is that Chris cannot
shoot have a second chance at a leg stun after the first leg shot. If the
first leg shot fails to get a leg stun, the next leg shot will kill.
When firing at the legs from the start, Chris will get three chances at a leg
stun - he can hit the Majini three times in the legs with the handgun. The
only bad part about shooting the legs first is that if the Majini is grounded
on the first or second shot, it will automatically get up off the ground. It
will only receive enough damage to remain grounded for a stomp after the third
shot.
It's a good idea to experiment with both melee kill setups and choose what
works the best for you. Really, shooting the legs first is the better option,
especially if you try for a lag shot.
-- M92F leg shot + M92F lag shot + Uppercut
This is by far the best way to kill Wetland Majini with BSAA Chris, but it will
take practice with timing. Basically, you gain a leg stun then run up to the
Majini and fire a shot at it then perform the uppercut melee DIRECTLY after the
second shot. This method will save melee kills the most since leg stuns are
sometimes rare during some runs. This is much easier to do in duo when lag is
present.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- SIG P226 headshot + Straight
Safari will have no problem killing off Wetland Majini with his main melee kill
setup. Wetland Majini only have a little over 700 HP most of the time, so it
doesn't matter if his handgun headshot + straight punch takes off a little less
than 800 HP unlike with Town Majini.
The main flaw with Safari while fighting Wetland Majini is that his straight
punch takes off 400 damage and his handgun takes off 350 or slight less. Add
those up and you'll always get over 700 damage, which means that Safari cannot
hit a Majini with a straight punch then shoot it again without killing it!
Basically, if any Majini get caught in the straight punch of another Majini,
Safari Chris cannot hit them with a handgun shot afterwards! He will have to
use a flash grenade to stun Majini that have hit with a straight punch from the
start then straight punch them again.
-- Flash Grenade + SIG P226 lag shot + Straight
A Safari Chris player can make up an actual "Cobra Straight" after a flash
grenade toss against a Wetland Majini. It's like the ghetto version of a Cobra
Strike that you can perform through a lag shot. Basically, toss a flash
grenade to stun a Wetland Majini then stand near the stunned Majini and fire a
shot at any portion of its body with the SIG P226 handgun and then INSTANTLY
activate the straight punch. The straight punch will kill (350 + 400 damage).
Obviously, this will take practice, but it can be quite useful on both Village
and Ancient Ruins once Safari obtains flash grenades!
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- Nitrogen Rounds against Wetland Majini
Nitrogen rounds can truly make a score on Wetland Majini stages. Since Wetland
Majini can pile up SO much at times, they can be grouped together very easily
and frozen to set them up for straight punch melee kills. With Village's
constant threat of scripted Cephalos, the nitrogen rounds will help out in
limiting the Cephalos also - Chris can freeze scripted Cephalo Wetland Majini
then shatter them and cancel the Cephalo.
-- Nitrogen Rounds on Explosive Arrow Majini
STARS Chris can freeze an Explosive arrow Majini with a nitrogen round, but the
hit must be DIRECT. If the hit is indirect, the Explosive Arrow Majini will
explode and cause other Majini around it to explode.
-- Nitrogen Rounds on Bui Kichwa
Besides working Bui Kichwa into uppercuts, STARS Chris can freeze them near
some type of obstacle where he can land on them. He can freeze them below any
ledge (the hill with the combo chest, etc.) then drop on them. He can freeze
them outside the bottom hut window then hop over on top of them. All of these
methods are considered a melee kill on a Bui Kichwa.

-- Torch Majini vs Chris
Many of the Torch Majini on Ancient Ruins are scripted Cephalos, so it's really
best to neck break the majority of them. They have over 1000 HP each, so even
if they aren't a scripted Cephalo, it's best to neck break them or critical
head stomp them when they fall.
-- Duvalia vs Chris
When you know a Wetland Majini is a scripted Duvalia, it's always best to try
for a leg stun and neck break it if possible. If the scripted Duvalia can be
knocked to the ground, such as the Explosive Arrown Majini, Chris can stomp the
Majini and cancel the Duvalia spawn.
----------
BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- BSAA Chris vs Duvalia
With his M92F handgun, BSAA Chris will get a chance for one leg stun on each
scripted Duvalia on Ancient Ruins. After that, the Duvalia will spawn with the
second shot. Once the Duvalia spawns, be ready for it and toss a flash grenade
or throw a hand grenade at its legs to kill it. The hand grenade will
obviously ruin melee kills, but it's far better than trying to kill the Duvalia
with BSAA Chris' shotgun.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Safari Chris vs Duvalia
Safari Chris cannot easily cancel a Duvalia spawn at all. His SIG P226 handgun
takes off too much and will activate each scripted Duvalia after the first shot
to the head, body or leg. Safari will need to find a flash grenade, hand
grenade or use one of his rocket launchers to kill the spawning Duvalia.
Duvalias are really more of a threat than the Giant Majini, so it can be best
to save the rocket launcher for sudden Duvalia spawns.
NOTE: There are two hand grenade on the railing in the center of Ancient Ruins
that can come in handy for Duvalias. There are also two hand grenades near the
90 seconds in the northwest. Two flash grenades are near the timer in the east
and many beginning Wetland Majini will drop flash grenades once they are
defeated.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- Nitrogen Rounds against Wetland Majini
Once again, Nitrogen Rounds can work extremely well against Wetland Majini.
They will help to cancel Duvalias and Cephalos as well! Be sure to shoot
Explosive Arrow Majini directly with a nitrogen round if one is in the area
when you attempt to freeze to keep them from exploding!
-- STARS Chris vs Duvalia
STARS Chris is much like BSAA Chris in that he will get one chance for a leg
stun on scripted Duvalias. After that one chance, the Duvalia will spawn.
STARS Chris' starting electric rounds will take off tremendous damage from a
Duvalia after it spawns. His M29 magnun will take off some serious damage from
a Duvalia as well. A few shots to the leg and a shot to the mouth will usually
finish off the Duvalia. A Chris player can just spawn the legs with magnum
shots also.
The main flaw with STARS Chris when fighting a Duvalia with his starting ammo
is that he must wait for a Duvalia to fully spawn before he will be able to
damage it greatly. Shooting the Duvalia while it spawns will still take off
damage, but there is about a 50% loss of damage per shot while the Majini
mutates into the Duvalia.
STARS Chris can instantly cancel a spawning Duvalia with a flash round or
nitrogen round. A nitrogen round shot directly at a spawning Duvalia will
instantly kill the Duvalia. Keep in mind that the Majini MUST be MUTATING for
the nitrogen round to canel the Duvalia. Since the Duvalia's are plagas, any
shot (direct or indirect) with a flash round will instantly kill the Duvalia
like with any other plagas also.

- Random Base Majini (always different in appearance)
This one spawns from the Base Majini spawn point near the railings on the

-- Chris vs Duvalias
The same rules for canceling and killing a Duvalia still are in tact for
Experimental Facility as well. Only BSAA Chris can STARS Chris can gain a leg
stun on scripted Duvalia for a neck breaker melee kill.
There are a few ways to cancel the two indentifiable Duvalias however:
- Armored Scripted Duvalia
a) Wait for the Armored Majini to start to climb over a railing then hop over
the railing and then stomp it.
b) Fall down a ladder then hit the Majini on the way down as it climbs then
kill it while it is on the floor. No melee kill with this method.
- Gas Mask Scripted Duvalia
a) Both methods for the Armored Duvalia
b) With BSAA Chris and Safari, shoot the scripted Duvalia directly in the gas
mask to knock it over then stomp it while it is on the floor.

BSAA CHRIS

-- Melee Kill Lickers
BSAA Chris can flip a Licker over with his shotgun if you take out the Ithaca
shotgun and shoot the back leg of the Licker directly. If the pellet spread
hit the Licker just right, it will fall backwards on its back and then kick its
legs and be open for a stab melee kill. This takes practice and luck.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Melee Kill Lickers
Safari Chris can flip a Licker with his M3 shotgun just like BSAA Chris can
with his Ithaca shotgun. Aim at the back leg of the Licker while standing near
it then fire. The Licker will flip over and kick its legs. Once again, this
is about luck.
-- Safari Chris vs Duvalias

STARS CHRIS

-- Melee Kill Lickers
The best way to melee kill Lickers with STARS Chris is through nitrogen rounds.
Chris can freeze a Licker near any sort of obstacle that makes him hop against
the Licker in any way then Chris can hop into the Licker and touch it while
hopping to shatter the Licker for a melee kills.
Examples of frozen Licker melee kills:
- Hopping over a railing to hit a frozen Licker
- Falling from a high area to land on a frozen Licker
- Hopping across a platform to land on a Licker (first floor hopping platforms)
- Dropping off a raised platform to land on a frozen Licker
STARS Chris can flip a Licker and set it up for a stab melee with an explosive
round or acid round. The Licker must be shot in either of its front legs. You
can also fire at the floor in front of the Licker. The Licker MUST land on its
back and the shot MUST not kill it. Once the Licker lands on its back, it will
kick its legs then Chris can stab it.

-- Random Cephalos:
- Dynamite
- Just about any Majini
Stomping a dynamite Majini in the head is like saying "I want a Cephalo now,
GIVE ME A CEPHALO!" no matter what dynamite Majini it is. Nearly all Majini
are random Cephalos on Missile Area. Some of them are not, but it will vary
per spawning region.
-- Scripted Cephalos
- Axe
2 of these spawn from the storage room when a player stand in the middle
spawning region on the bottom floor.
- Megaphone
This one spawns from the right door above the 90 second timer while a
player stands in the 90 second spawning region in the north.
- Weaponless
This one spawns from the ceiling spawn point above the 30 seconds on the
south high walkway. He will appear when a player stands on the top
walkways.
- Long Pipe
This one spawns from the ceiling spawn point in the office when a player
stands on the top walkways.
- Machete
This one spawns from the ceiling spawn point above the 30 seconds on the
south high walkway. He will appear when a player stands in the south
bottom floor spawning region near the chicken.
- Cocktail
This one spawns from the ceiling spawn point near the missiles and the 30
seconds on the bottom floor - this area is in the middle. He will appear
when a player stands in the south bottom floor spawning region near the
chicken.
-- Scripted Criticals
- Axe
One of these will spawn from the upper walkways above the 90 second timer
when a player stands in the 90 second area.
The other one will spawn from the doorway above the central shaft when a
player stands in the middle of the stage. (same spawn point where the
second Gatling Gun Majini appears)
-- Aim uppercuts away from the head
With both BSAA Chris and STARS Chris, be sure to step around to the side of a
stunned Majini and aim your uppercuts away from the Majini's head to prevent a
random Cephalo spawn. BSAA Chris seems to get a higher chance for random
Cephalos with his uppercut, but all Chris types should aim uppercuts away from
the Majini's head.
----------
BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- BSAA Chris vs Gatling Gun Majini
BSAA Chris really needs to use hand grenades to stun any of the Gatling Gun
Majini. Stun them then run up to them and toss a hand grenade below them when
the "Backhand" prompt appears then quickly activate the backhand melee. Chris
will finish the Backhand as the hand grenade goes off and this will return the
Gatling Gun Majini.
- Yellow Gatling Gun Majini
Hand Grenade stun -> Backhand -> Hand Grenade Stun -> 2 Ithaca shots ->
Backhand
- Red Gatling Gun Majini
Hand Grenade stun -> Backhand -> Hand Grenade Stun -> Backhand -> Hand Grenade
stun -> 2 Ithaca shots -> Backhand
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Safari Chris vs Gatling Gun Majini
Use Safari Chris' rocket launcher on one of the Yellow Gatling Gun Majinis and
the Red Gatling Gun Majini. It's good to grab two hand grenades to help Safari
Chris deal with the other Yellow Gatling Gun Majini. Stun it with a hand
grenade then rush up and toss another hand grenade below it then activate the
backhand to restun it afterwards. Safari's shotgun will kill quicker, so it
should only take one M3 shot to finish off the Yellow Gatling Gun Majini before
the final backhand. This can differ though since Safari's M3 spread is so
random!
-- Headshots on Missile Area with Safari Chris
Missile is a VERY bad stage for Safari Chris. Since his main melee setup
(handgun headshot + Straight) greatly increases Cephalo chances, he can be a
total trainwreck on Missile Area when played as a head stun character. You
might want to resort to playing him like BSAA Chris on Missile Area most of the
time and only take risks on his headshot + straight every now and then.
It's really good to start shooting the legs of a Majini - once you gain a leg
stun, run up to the Majini and lag shot then cancel the shot into an uppercut.
This will save melee kills. Playing him as a leg stun character will still
ruin melee kills with his high-powered shotgun however. Remember to aim his
uppercut away from the head just like with BSAA Chris!
-- Cephalo melee
Safari Chris will get a lot of Cephalos most of the time, so try for a melee
kill against them. It's a good idea to fire off about two handgun shots at the
Cephalo then shoot it with the shotgun from close or mid range then attempt a
stomp. Trying to hit it from up close with a single blast then stomp it
afterwards hardly ever works for me.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- STARS Chris vs Gatling Gun Majini
STARS Chris really has no problem against either Gatling Gun Majini type. The
Red Gatling Gun Majini takes several magnum shots, but at least you can work
Majini into backhands performed on him. STARS Chris can easily aim backhands
on the Gatling Gun Majini at other Majini that move up to attack him and get
multiple melees in the process.
- Yellow Gatling Gun Majini
4 M29 shots to leg -> Backhand
2 M29 shots to leg -> Backhand -> 1 M29 shot to leg -> Backhand
- Red Gatling Gun Majini
6 M29 shots to leg -> Backhand
4 M29 shots to leg -> Backhand -> 2 M29 shots to leg -> Backhand
1 M29 shot to leg -> Backhand -> 1 M29 shot to leg -> Backhand -> 1 M29 shot to
leg -> 1 M29 shot to body -> Backhand
-- Nitrogen Rounds and Flash Rounds
Both Nitrogen Rounds and Flash Rounds can both be a blessing and a curse on
Missile Area. Since Chris will be dealing with dynamite Majini and cocktail
Majini very often, both grenade rounds can ruin melee kills very easily. If
you use either one, try to look around the area to make sure that no dynamite
or cocktail Majini are nearby. Both of them are just as bad as the other.
Flash rounds are good for saving the combo whenever you accidentally spawn a
Cephalo, but you'll likely create an explosion of flames around Chris when
using a flash round.

BSAA CHRIS
----------
-- BSAA Chris vs Chainsaw Majini
BSAA Chris has the hardest time against any of the Chainsaw Majini when
compared to other Chris types with only his weak Ithaca. The grenade launcher
with flame rounds can be used to stun the Chainsaw Majini, but it still doesn't
really help all that much. The best to kill off the Chainsaw Majini with BSAA
Chris is to find some sort of corner or narrow area and put Chris' back to a
wall then fire at the Chainsaw Majini's chest as it approaches.
Shoot any other Majini that tries to interfere with your shotgun rampage!
Obviously, this method will take QUITE A WHILE against the Blue Chainsaw
Majini. When the Blue Chainsaw Majini revives, choos from the following
a) Toss two hand grenades below it while it gets up to finish it off before it
starts berserking.
b) Stand above the reviving chainsaw Majini and aim at its head. When it start
to move blast it in the head as it revives.
c) Have a flash grenade handy and toss as the Blue Chainsaw Majini runs toward
Chris. Run up to it while it is stunned then blast it with the Ithaca to
finish it off.
d) Shoot the berserking Chainsaw Majini with a flame round or stun it with a
flash round then finish it off with the Ithaca - flame round shots by
themselves can work well at killing off the berserking Chainsaw Majini since
his health is so low. They take off 500 damage each and he only has 1500 HP.
-- Grab the Grenade Launcher
It's very important to grab the grenade launcher with BSAA Chris. He can
REALLY use the possible nitrogren round or flash round ammo drops if they
appears. He cannot always cancel the stages many scripted Cephalos from not
gaining a leg stun, so both ammo types can help him out great for doing.
Literally, freeze a scripted Cephalo Majini when it falls if it refuses a leg
stun or just shoot the head to activate the Cephalo then blast it with a flash
round to rid yourself of it.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Safari Chris vs Chainsaw Majini
Safari Chris has the advantage over the Chris types for this stage with his
rocket launcher for both Chainsaw Majini pairs. Both of his rocket launchers
can be used to kill both pairs instantly. He will have to worry about killing
off the reviving Blue Chainsaw Majini afterwards however - use the same methods
as BSAA Chris for the most part. His P226 handgun CAN help out for killing the
berserking Chainsaw Majini as well.
Chris' M3 shotgun can work quite well against Red Chainsaw Majini. It will
literally tear through them in about four shots from close range. Just like
with BSAA Chris, it's good to put Chris' back to a corner when facing off
against the Chainsaw Majini.
-- Safari Chris owns Ship Deck
Out of all stages, Ship Deck is Safari best stage overall. The best part is
that he doesn't have to worry about random Cephalos! He can kill off the main
threat of the stage (Chainsaw Majini pair) instantly as well! Like BSAA Chris,
Safari Chris can also take advantage of the grenade launcher and get possible
nitro and flash drops that will help him. He really shines on Ship Deck more
than any other stage overall.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- STARS Chris vs Chainsaw Majini
Against any Chainsaw Majini, always start with a shot to the leg to stun it.
After the leg shot, finish the Chainsaw Majini off with headshot or leg shots
(for melee killing). It's important that STARS Chris puts his back to a corner
much like BSAA Chris when fighting a pair of Chainsaw Majini. Spread damage
among the two but kill the red Chainsaw Majini first in order to keep the combo
going - since the blue won't count as a kill until he falls from berserk
status.
When the blue Chainsaw Majini revives, shoot it in the head or body while it
tries to get up to instantly kill it. Chris can do a melee kill against it
also, but it's really worthless unless the Chainsaw Majini has already revived
and is coming toward him. He will need a flash grenade to stun then shoot the
Chainsaw Majini in the arm once, shoot it anywhere with one SIG shot (just in
case) then perform a Hook for a melee kill. The SIG shot is only a precaution
just in case his Hook hits the arm of the Chainsaw Majini.

BSAA CHRIS

-- BSAA Chris vs Prison Executioners
BSAA Chris can have a very tough time against Prison Executioners since they
require so many Ithaca blast to finish off. The best way to deal with one is
to get it to perform an attack then dodge the attack and run toward it and
blast it twice with the Itaca shotgun to stun it. Keep blasting it it then
uppercut before it recovers and continue to blast it. Wait for it to attack
once again then dodge again and repeat.
It can be set up for a counter attack in the following ways:
a) Run around it's left side (your right) when it reaches out to grab then
blast it from behind.
b) Get it to perform its overhead then back up to dodge it then shoot it while
in close range.
------------
SAFARI CHRIS
------------
-- Safari Chris vs Prison Executioners
Obviously you'll want to save the rocket launchers to kill the Red Executioner
with Safari. MAKE SURE that the hit against the Red Executioner is a direct
hit since it CAN survive an indirect hit at times. Look at the BSAA Chris
section for killing the remaining Executioners with the M3 shotgun. Safari
Chris can kill the Executioner a bit faster thanks to his high-powered shotgun.
-----------
STARS CHRIS
-----------
-- STARS Chris vs Prison Executioners
The Prison Executioners on Prison can be a real pain for STARS Chris due to the
heavy amount of magnum ammo they will take to finish off combined with the fact
that magnum ammo can be rare. In a sense, STARS Chris relies on luck with
magnum ammo drops when facing the Prison Exectuioners. It's very wise to
conserve magnum ammo as much as possible with STARS Chris. Literally, use the
machine gun to weaken Big Majini Majini to where Chris weaken them further with
one magnum shot instead of having to use two shots. Kill Cephalos with flash
rounds or electric rounds to conserve magnum ammo.

Warrior Chris can use a hand grenade to stun the Executioner, but it's really

him with the Hydra. Make him perform a grab from close range and rush around
his right side then blast him from the back or make him perform his overhead
swing from long range then rush ahead him and blast him. Either way, he will
die within a few shots from the Hydra because of its intense spread.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Stun rod kill often
Public Assembly is full of Plagas enemies so, it's very important to stun rod
kill often after about 80 combo since the scripted plagas enemies will begin to
spawn more often then. It's really best to get in the habit of stun rod
killing overall with Heavy Metal Chris however.
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Executioner
Heavy Metal Chris will need to use a hand grenade or proximity bomb to stun the
Executioner. If you don't use one, Chris will just have to fire at the
Executioner from a distance with the gatling gun - keep in that, that he can be
stunned without a hand grenade or proximity bomb with Heavy Metal Chris.

-- Warrior Chris vs Reaper
Warrior Chris basically has no problem with a Reaper thanks to his Hydra.
Simply aim for the chest weak point of a Reaper as it moves toward Chris and
wait for it to open. Once the chest weak point opens, blast it with the Hydra
then blast the Reaper's should weak points to kill it eventually with enough
shots.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Reaper
Heavy Metal Chris can weaken a Reaper easily with hand grenade or proximity
bomb explosion. It's really best to lay down a proximity bomb when it follows
Chris in order to hit it directly. Once it rolls after the explosion, shoot it
in its chest weak point when it opens it up after the roll. It will always
reveal the chest weak point when turning!

-------------
WARRIOR CHRIS
-------------
-- Warrior Chris vs Wetland Majini
Wetland Majini are very weak (700 HP), so Warrior Chris can kill them off with
an uppercut after a single shot leg stun with his handgun. Any undamaged
Majini that is hit with an uppercut off of an other Majini will remain grounded
for a stomp.
-- Warrior Chris vs Giant Majini
Aim for the legs of a Giant Majini and keep blasting it with the Hydra and
following it back when slide backwards. Only uppercut if Chris is about to get
hit. The shots take off quite a bit from close range, so make each shot to the
legs with the Hydra VERY close to kill it quickly.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Wetland Majini
After gaining a single leg stun, Heavy Metal Chris can kill off a Majini with
an uppercut. Undamage Majini that are hit with an uppercut will remain
grounded and ready for a stomp also!
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Giant Majini
Heavy Metal Chris really only has a problem with Giant Majini when other
enemies are in the area with him. Giant Majini are really no problem for Heavy
Metal Chris otherwise - just aim at the legs of the Giant Majini then blast
them with the gatling gun. Don't even worry about uppercutting, just spam
gatling gun fire.

WARRIOR CHRIS

-- Warrior Chris vs Torch Majini
Always attempt a neck break against Torch Majini since many of them are
scripted Cephalos and they also have a good bit of health.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Warrior Chris vs Scripted Plagas
There are several scripted plagas that can be seen ahead of time on Ancient
Ruins. The Majini with helmets on the east side area the easiest to see
coming. Kill helmeted Majini and Torch Majini with the stun rod as the final
hit. With Torch Majini, neck breaks can work just as well since they have a
high health amount.

-------------
WARRIOR CHRIS
-------------
-- Warrior Chris vs Base Majini
The Base Majini in Mercenaries Reunion still have bad head shot detection on
them for the most part, so Warrior Chris is best played as a leg stun character
on Experimental Facility. Shoot the body and then the leg for a possible leg
stun to set up an uppercut melee kill. Warrior Chris can also gain one leg
stun with the handgun then take damage of lag shot and handgun shot + Uppercut
to melee kill - this will give him two chances for a leg stun.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Melee kill Lickers
Heavy Metal Chris can melee kill Lickers the easiest out of any Reunion
character with his stun rod. Most Lickers will die after three stun rod hits
or two gatling gun shots and a stun rod hit. Keep in mind that the Licker has
several portions of its body that affect damage delivered do it. Chris is most
likely going to hit either the front legs or the head, so the amount of attacks
it takes to kill one with a stun rod will vary at times.
Licker Beta (900 HP)
Heart (+300%)
Head (+10%)
Body (normal damage)
Front Legs (-30%)
Rear Legs (-20%)

-------------
WARRIOR CHRIS
-------------
-- Having a Barry/Rebecca partner in duo
When Warrior Chris has a Barry or Rebecca partner in duo Missile Area, he will
not have a way to cancel the many scripted Cephalos on the top walkway in the
middle of the stage. Basically, Chris will have to allow the Cephalo to spawn
then attempt to melee kill it or bullet kill the Cephalo since he will not have
a neck breaker! It's far better to have some other partner besides a Barry or
Rebecca partner if you start on the 90 second end on Missile Area in duo.
-- PSG-1 combo saving
Since Missile Area has so many camping Majini that like to stand on high
walkways, Warrior Chris' rifle can come in handy for shooting these camping
Majini.
-- Warrior Chris vs Gatling Gun Majini
The Hydra is really the best weapon to kill the Gatling Gun Majini with.
Trying to melee kill the Gatling Gun Majini will be tough since Warrior Chris
can only easily perform an uppercut after a Hydra blast pushes the Gatling Gun
Majini back.
The Gatling Gun Majini can be stunned with PSG-1 shots to the legs or head and
set up for a backhand or haymaker melee as well. The PSG-1 will not be an as
much of an instant stun as a Hydra blast however.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Cancelling Cephalos
Missile Area has a bunch of scripted Cephalos on it and most of them spawn when
a player stands on the middle top walkway. Heavy Metal Chris can easily cancel
all of the scripted Cephalos and gain a melee kill on them with his stun rod.
Heavy Metal Chris can really be the best character for Missile Area on Reunion
if you know how to play him and can save the Gatling Gun Majini with him.
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Gatling Gun Majini
Chris will need a hand grenade or proximity bomb to stun the Gatling Gun Majini
in Missile Area. He can easily spam damage on them with his gatling gun. It's
really best not to try for a melee kill on them - Chris' gatling gun should
remain firing once you start to fire.
One good thing about saving a Gatling Gun Majini boss with Heavy Metal Chris is
that he can take more damage with his bullet proof jacket and he can also
shield himself from gunfire with his steel backpack! Basically, a Heavy Metal
Chris player can turn Chris' back on the Gatling Gun Majini when it starts to
fire and allow the backpack to keep the bullets from hitting him - you will
have to sort of aim the backpack toward the bullet spray in order for this to
work.

-------------
WARRIOR CHRIS
-------------
-- Warrior Chris vs Chainsaw Majini
Warrior Chris can easily kill a chainsaw Majini with his Hydra from close
range. He doesn't even really need to stun one since he can blast it in its
body for max spread damage to make it fall rather fast. Against berserking
blue Chainsaw Majini, Warrior Chris can stand over their bodies and blast them
with the Hydra as they get up or he can shoot them from long range with his
PSG-1.
-- PSG-1 for camping bowgun Majini
Ship Deck can be very annoying when it comes to the Majini that will camp on
the crane tower and north tower when a player moves into the north and west
spawning region. Warrior Chris has the advantage of easy long distance
firepower with his PSG-1 however, so he can easily kill these nuisances if they
are spotted while they camp on either tower. Warrior Chris can be a great
asset on Ship Deck because of his rifle.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Chainsaw Majini
Heavy Metal Chris has a bad problems with stunning a Chainsaw Majini. He must
stun one with a hand grenade or a proximity bomb. Other than stunning one with
an explosive, he can't stun it with shots fired to its body. Against a
berserking blue chainsaw Majini, Heavy Metal Chris can lay down a proximity
bombs directly on the body of the blue Chainsaw Majini before it wakes up then
have the proximity bomb kill it when it tries to revive. From a distance,
Heavy Metal Chris can toss hand grenades at a berserking blue chainsaw Majini.

-------------
WARRIOR CHRIS
-------------
- Warrior Chris vs Prison Executioners
Warrior Chris' Hydra works very well against a Prison Executioner because of
its intense spread per shot and overall damage. Before shooting a Prison
Executoner, it's best to make it attack with a grab or an overhead attack then
dodge the attack (run around its left side when it grabs) and blast it with the
Hydra from behind. Use a hand grenade to stun an Executioner or clear enemies
away from it if needed.
-----------------
HEAVY METAL CHRIS
-----------------
-- Heavy Metal Chris vs Prison Executioners
Oh, dear god... the Public Assembly Executioners can be annoying enough with
Heavy Metal Chris and now you have two with even more health! There is no real
special way to defeat an Executioner with Heavy Metal Chris aside from stunning
it with a hand grenade or a proximity bomb followed by spamming it with gatling
gun fire. Each Executioner will take several stuns and bullets in order to
kill, so Heavy Metal Chris is going to have a VERY difficult time defeating a
Prison Executioner in solo play on Prison. In duo, he can fall back on his
partner.

Watching videos to see the gameplay of what I showcase in this guide is
extremely helpful. It's really best to see gameplay in video format to
understand it better in The Mercenaries or The Mercenaries Reunion.
The following is a list of several Chris players' Youtube Channels on Youtube.
Most of these players used only Chris for many of their runs. I only list
players that have been around for a while, not those that started within the
past year, so these are not all current Chris players. Really, the majority of
these players have moved on to other games, but these players have the best
examples of the way Chris is used today since many of them were playing as
Chris from the beginning.

Shameless plug again!
I mainly only used STARS Chris early on, but recently switched over to BSAA
Chris more often. I used mainly Heavy Metal Chris in Mercs Reunion, though I
did use Warrior for some runs. Most of my runs are duo with various partners.
The majority of my runs are with all different partners since I never truly had
a consistent main partner for duo - I'm often busy with other games.
NOTE 1: One interesting thing I'd like to point out about my videos is that I
started with Type D then switched over to Type B after the first six months I
started Mercs seriously. I feel that they show off the advantages of Type B
over a control type without camera control.
NOTE 2: I have two Missile Area runs with cha55163 on my page. Cha was the
original STARS Chris solo player, and his side of my 911K Missile Area BSAA
Chris/STARS Chris duo run is linked to on my page.
My side - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EZKplaUdr8
Cha's side - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L4rtq_hnas
Cha55163 was the player that inspired the way STARS Chris is used by many other
players today with his videos, so he deserves much credit. Without seeing his
videos, I would have never switched to Type B.

Cabesu has some excellent solo and duo Chris runs for The Mercenaries. His
main duo partner was combattmagnum. You can see both sides of their duo runs
if you go to both of their pages. He uses STARS Chris, Safari Chris and BSAA
Chris in solo.

If ever there was a Chris partner that I had that was very faithful to playing

favorite! He uses STARS Chris.

-- Fabrisio78
Console: PC

Fabrisio uses STARS Chris and has a few BSAA Chris runs for PC. He has some
rather impressive Public Assembly solo and duo runs on his page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- JoRez0
Console: PC
Control Type: Mouse and Keyboard
Region: Malaysia
http://www.youtube.com/user/JoRez0
Like Fabrisio, Jorez uses a mouse and keyboard setup while playing on PC, so
his gameplay will sometimes look a bit different when compared to console play.
Jorez uses STARS Chris and BSAA Chris and has some very epic runs with both.

http://www.youtube.com/Kayuiuma1
This man knows Chris well and he knows how to entertain you with his videos.
His patience for solo runs knows no bounds. He is really the best source for
BSAA Chris and Safari Chris solo runs.
Also, Kayu is your best source for Reunion Chris runs by far. Kinokoking was
Kayu's partner for many of his duo runs, so you can watch both sides of their
runs if you go to kinokoking's channel also.

Kinokoking is the only other player besides myself on this list that has never
used another character besides Chris. He is Chris exclusive. He started out
using BSAA Chris then started using STARS Chris more often.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Seitengrate
Console: PlayStation 3 (Xbox early on)
Control Type: Type A
Region: United Kingdom
http://www.youtube.com/user/SeitengrateZero
Seitengrate has many great Chris runs both new and old, solo and duo. Not only
his own runs, but several runs from Japanese Chris players as well. Look for
runs by RAGIA_2_RAGI and rainbow_495 on his page for some epic double Chris duo
runs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Console: PlayStation 3 (She mains Sheva)
Control Type: Type B (She is Sheva exclusive)
Region: United Kingdom (This is a plug for her)
http://www.youtube.com/user/JuJuJC
She'd kill me if I didn't mention her, so be sure to check out JuJu's page.
JuJu and Seitengrate have many Sheva and Chris duo runs which you can see both
sides of if you visit her page as well as Seitengrate's.
She used Chris every now and then with Seitengrate during duo runs. She also
used Warrior Chris in Reunion a few times because... she has this thing for
Warrior's well-defined back muscles.
