S+ Rank Professional Infinite Ammo Weapons

[MR DOG ANIMATIONS]

Can you use infinite ammo weapons on professional and still get S+ Rank? Or will that instantly remove the chance of getting S+? And also can you use exclusive deluxe weapons or is that also not allowed?

[DeadPhoenix]

As long as its done on a new game, then yes you can use any weapon. Only the handcannon can't be done with bonus weapons.

You can achieve S+ with bonus weapons.

The only requirements are;

-New Game
-Under 5 hours 30 minutes
-15 saves

I think itll tell you what you can and cannot use.
For the achievement it has to be new game, but you sill im pretty sure could get S rank, it just depends what you go for and itll give restrictions based on it, or non.

Do accessories affect S+ and do end of chapter saves count towards your 15 save limit?

No bonuses affect rank, only if you're playing a new game or continuing in NG+

You can get S rank with Infinite Rocket Launcher (technically if you mod it into the game, you can get S+)
You can get S+ bonus weapons and infinite ammo

S+ is new game, no other restrictions as long as it's playthrough 1 and under 15 saves.
The handcannon forbids bonus weapons, but does allow accessories including the cat ears which makes it a cakewalk.

So with this in mind, the optimal progression for Pro is:

Run 1: NG+ with infinite rocket launcher and whatever else, for A rank. Unlocks the Chicago
Run 2: NG fresh file, doing the 30 spinel route to get the exclusive ticket and upgrade the Chicago to have infinite ammo by Chapter 7. After chapter 7, the run is much easier. Unlocks the Cat Ears.
Run 3: NG fresh file, no bonus weapons, Cat Ears for infinite ammo. Shotgun away until you can buy the Broken Butterfly/Killer 7. Unlocks Handcannon

end of chapter saves do count. Don't use them since there'll always be a typewriter nearby, hell, don't even save on some chapters, so you can have a few extra saves for tough sections.
Also, whenever you die, quit to the main menu before loading a save, or the timer won't reset to where the save was.

As an example, you save 2 minutes into a run, play for 3 more and then die. If you reload the save from the game over, you'll reload at the 2-minute save, but the timer will read 5. If you quit to main menu and then load the save, it'll be at 2 minutes like it's supposed to be.
