RESIDENT EVIL 2 HUNK CLOSE UP

The 4th Survivor gives players a chance to play as the mysterious character HUNK, an Umbrella operative caught in the outbreak, on a mission to retrieve samples of the G-Virus.

Experience Another Raccoon City Story

This mode reveals a different side of the Raccoon City incident story, as it takes place right after Leon defeats William Birkin in his G-Virus infected form. Hunk will start off from the lab entrance and make his way up to the Police Station.

A Challenge of Survival and Limited Resources

The minigame emphasizes survival and strategic use of items as no other items will be available for pickup. Players must rely on their wits and ability to fend off zombies effectively.

Expands The Game's Replayability

The 4th Survivor gives players additional content to play through, and as a timed minigame, players can push themselves to get the best time and complete the minigame as fast as possible.

Tips for the 4th Survivor Mode

Avoid Fighting As Much As Possible

Since there's no item and ammo pickup in this mode, you'll have to conserve ammo and supplies by avoiding enemies as much as possible. If forced to engage, shoot at the head or knees to stagger zombies instead of killing them.

Kill Enemies Blocking Narrow Pathways

4th Survivor Mode (HUNK Story) - How to Unlock & Walkthrough

It is recommended to take out enemies that block narrow pathways to avoid getting attacked and to quickly move forward. Aim for a head shot to take them out fast.

Conserve Grenades

4th Survivor Mode (HUNK Story) - How to Unlock & Walkthrough

Grenades and Flashbangs play an important role in this mode as they can help you escape being grabbed by zombies. This becomes crucial especially in the RPD section where zombies can gang up on you pretty fast.

Use Recovery Items at The Right Time

4th Survivor Mode (HUNK Story) - How to Unlock & Walkthrough

Try to save your herbs as much as you can until the later stages. Wait until you get fully damaged to "Danger" condition before using the First Aid Spray or the Red + Green + Blue Herb as these items fully restore your health.

Use of Defensive Herb Is Key

The Red + Blue and Red + Green + Blue herbs can also improve your defense, so it's best to use them much later on. This way, damage you take will be reduced and kept to a minimum.
