      You have to go into "Bonus Features" and buy the Unlimited Ammo using Exchange Points you earn at the end of each mission. (Based on Rank [S,A,B,C])

    The fastest way to earn cash is to have another player online to give you ROTTEN EGGS (fill your ENTIRE inventory with it) Then you quit the game and save. The person who gave you the eggs DOESN'T SAVE their game so that all the eggs they gave you will still be in their inventory and you will still have all the eggs they gave you..just keep repeating the steps until you feel like you have enough $$$ to buy and upgrade all ur weapons. ROTTEN EGGS sell for $2000 each, and you can hold up to 5 EGGS per slot so that'll be 45 ROTTEN EGGS per session that you can recieve. Hopefully this will help you guys earn $$$ WAY faster.

    Playing 4-1 is a great way to make cash. A friend and I ran through the stage so many times we have it down to around 14mins. Someone else might be able to do it faster. Finding all treasures and selling the grenade launcher you get everytime you go in will net you at least 50,000. It was an easy way to earn cash and points to buy unlimited ammo in the Bonus Features.

    My favorite way to earn ccash is chapter 5-3. There are tons of treasures in this chapter, u can get mutiple lion hearts, mutiple power stones and of course the heart of africa which alone is worth 10,000

    Chapter 5-2 just go where's there a lot of lickers... here you can get 5 lion heart, but you need to stay in this room! When you had all the lion heart, you quit and save.. after you continue your game and the lickers will still be here. So you will get 12 500 in like 1 or 2 minutes and you can repeat the step until you upgraded all your gun

  13. Flyers 1229

    • Jony118118
      July 7, 2009

      Well 4 was scarier since you were all alone and when the Chainsaw characters or the giants appeared you had to try to stay alive. But in 5 you can just be resusitated.

    To get money easy just, collect some rotten eggs. You need a second profile on your box it doesn't need to have an xbox live acct. Load the mission 2-2 in single player as chris with your main or primary profile. Then hit start on another control with the dummy or secondary profile. Have the dummy profile give you the rotten eggs and then quit the mission save your items on the first profile but not the second. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzFtepwHhKI

    i personly think wesker didnt die

    • steven
      June 23, 2009

      he didnt (probobly) because at the end dont you notice that the rockets donbt hit wesker exactrly?and that it only hotzs the lava around him and think about it. if he survived long enough after he fell in the lava to kill chris one last time dont you think he can survive a little longer to get out when they leave? i personally think that wesker will be in re6(if they make on) with a few missing parts a few scars and scorches but he is probobly not dead

      • Jony118118
        July 7, 2009

        The rockets went through his head ...

    • Collosalressifan
      October 29, 2009

      but look carefully and you see his head come off, cmon he got shot by 2 rockets

    hey guys how do you get an a on the mines on the mercenares

    • Archron
      May 31, 2009

      easy, i did it by my self on mercineries mode, play as chris, and just sprint around the tunnels, when the reaper comes try running away from it, and lure it out side near the explosive barrels, shoot the barral, it will knock the reaper on its arse and then go for the finishing blow with the shot gun (takes a few shots and leaves you open for flanking enemies). it will be time consuming so you will have to fight hard to get the extra points, I usualy play with my mate, however i managed to do ok by myself toachieve an A, also if you want bonous time try get as many malee kills, you get a bonous 5sec per malee.

      also for anyone wanting to know, I highly recomend you don't play as jill (at all) or the first sheva. wesker (s.t.a.r.s) always gives me the highest scores but you need to find health when you start or your going to be in trouble when stuck in a swarm of dead

    • headshooter 82
      June 16, 2009

      i passed it with jill

  22. Archron
    May 31, 2009

    btw has anyone else noticed that there are 2 other guns that can not be used during single player, I've used them during mercineries mode, wesker (stars) side arm and theres another side arm thats in mercs mode that isn't seen on single player, shame, i realy like weskers side arm, looks awesome with the silver gas chamber and black slide, and powerfull as well.

  23. psycho_817
    June 16, 2009

    to lovin R5 simply find a rotten egg and with multy player mode trade the egg to the second player have them save their settings and make u sure u dont save and ull end up with 2 eggs simply repeat untill you get 999 eggs or more and ull have millions PS the rotten eggs is the highest non treasure item in the game at 2k each ull end up with milions in no time.

    I played the chapter with the most Lickers (i forgot which chapter it was. it was the one where you need to get in an elevator). I got at least 45k with all those lion hearts. And I finished the chapter in 20 minutes or less.

    • Collosalressifan
      October 29, 2009

      on prof mode i finished that chapter in 7 mins, i had practise, that wer i got all mi money

  25. RE5FAN
    June 23, 2009

    THE FASTEST WAY TO GET MONEY IS TO DO THE ROTTEN EGG / DUPLICATION GLITCH.

    Using That Will Give You About 1.000.000 Per 1/2 Hour Or 1 Hour

    hey everyone you all know that wesker is one hard bastard to put down for good
    right now im at stage 6-3 as i speak (sort of) and i was thinking is this really it?
    i know wesker was saving himself for chris for a final showdown but with the new gaming
    technology being thrust upon us year by year i really dont think the resident evil series
    has finally come to a close not by a longshot one other thing wasnt the birkin girl
    supposed to be involved in re5? what the hell became of her?

    • Collosalressifan
      October 29, 2009

    September 16, 2009

    i agree that re4 was far creepier but capcom has yet changed the paradigm once again
    in other words yes re5 is sick. unbeliveably awesome
    how many of you counted the event comparisons between re4 and re5?

  35. d.atherton63

    • d.atherton63
      October 12, 2009

      absolutely. by the way, what is so frigging difficult for everyone to understand the concept of
      "achievements" and "trophies" anyhow? read my lips everyone...
      "achievements" are what is explained what you need to accomplish in order to gain
      your physical prize which is the "trophy".you dont get "achievements",you earn
      "trophies". next: of all the resident evil 5 fans playing the game, who has the lowest total
      time score? i managed to knock my total play time to 3 hours 44 minutes and 13 minutes.
