This guide covers the Active Skills available in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, detailing their functions, upgrade paths, and strategic uses.

Motion Detector

Function: Press triangle (Y button) to throw a Motion Detector towards the targetted area. This Motion Detector will stick onto any surface and display all enemies within a 15 meter radius on your mini-map. Enemy soldiers that trigger the Motion Detector will be stunned.

Recharge: Varies based on level.

Mimicry

Function: Target an enemy soldier then press triangle (Y button) to cloak yourself as the target. Mimicry lasts for a certain amount of seconds depending on the level of the ability.

Duration: Varies based on level.

Recharge: 20 seconds.

Comments: This ability recharges faster and lasts longer than Active Camouflage as long as your character is not hit. Do not use this directly in front of a soldier, as it will instantly wear off. Ensure your character is concealed before copying a soldier. Getting hit by gunfire can cancel Mimicry. Enemies generally will not attack while your character is cloaked as one of their own, allowing for close-range attacks until they notice.

Active Camouflage

Function: Press triangle (Y button) to activate a cloak that will make your character transparent for a certain amount of seconds depending on the level of this ability. Enemy soldiers will not be able to sense your presence, but most virus-infected enemies will still be able to see you.

Duration: Varies based on level.

Recharge: 45 seconds.

Comments: Active Camouflage is excellent for the recon class. Although it has a shorter duration and longer recharge time compared to Mimicry, it cannot be cancelled. While active, you can approach enemies for direct attacks or melee kills.
