Resident Evil 5
Can't unlock Mercenaries mode?
Yesterday, me and my brother finished our first playthrough of RE5 but we can't seem to find any semblance of mercenaries mode.

Can anyone help?

You need to finish game at lest on 1 specific difficulty.
To know, go in records in menu, here you can see all difficutlyes and theyr ranks, make sure that at least one of the bar is Filled up (no matter what rank, at leat one of them must be full)
If you missing some, in select chapter look down and search for missing ones.
[Example]
You might played game lets say from chapt. 1 > 3 on normal
Then decided to increese diff ,so you played rest on hard.
Or you was playing quickmatch and you joined in Middle of the game, whitch is cout as not-completed for you.

Much love. I'll look through it. Though We definitely played through the game on Veteran.

You must have Gold Edition or DLC "the untold stories". IIRC

Disregard my post above. Could not edit or delete it. I think regular mercs would still be available. I've forgotten achievements necessary to open.

"The Mercenaries" are part of the base game,

Other mods as:
Lost in Nightmare / Versus / Desperate Escape / The Mercenaries Reunion
Are in Extra Content Menu, whitch is part of DLC/GoldEdition/UntoldStories

go to chapter select and make sure you have a listed time for every chapter on the SAME difficulty

someone could of joined after a chapter started and that chapter could of not counted, or you might of switched difficulties
So I went in to check. Yes lads, you were right there are chapters that for some reason did not get "taken into account" by the game for some reason. Which is why I neither have the "Total" bar filled, nor the mercenaries mode unlocked. Shoite.

If you disconnect or join during the level after it started you won't get the final grade nor the completion for that level, it's pretty understandable, really.

More like an A(rsefu(ck, at least notify me somehow. Maan I am not surprised as to why many people don't speak all that fondly of this game. Its the small details it messes up. Still fun, but
