COMBOING KILLS

Learn how to chain kills within 10 seconds in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D to earn bonus points and high scores.

Kills can be chained if enemies are defeated within 10 seconds apart from each other. Directly after two kills have been chained, an indicator of the current amount of kills, shown in white text font, will display in the top right hand corner of the screen (HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)). The indicator will flash a red color for each multiple of 10 that has been reached. As the 10 seconds go by, the current indicator will begin to flash and when the 10 seconds are almost up, the indicator will flash rapidly. Once the chain kill indicator disappears, it will instantly begin to award the combo score amount based on the current kills that have been chained.

Combo Score Bonuses:

• 7 kills: +300 per kill (normal enemy), +3,000 per kill (boss enemy)
• 8 kills: +350 per kill (normal enemy), +3,500 per kill (boss enemy)
• 9 kills: +400 per kill (normal enemy), +4,000 per kill (boss enemy)
• 10-19 kills: +500 per kill (normal enemy), +4,500 per kill (boss enemy)
• 20-29 kills: +600 per kill (normal enemy), +5,000 per kill (boss enemy)
• 30-39 kills: +700 per kill (normal enemy), +5,500 per kill (boss enemy)
• 40-49 kills: +850 per kill (normal enemy), +6,000 per kill (boss enemy)
• 50+ kills: +1,000 per kill (normal enemy), +7,000 per kill (boss enemy)

Chaining kills is necessary to receive a high score. For instance, by killing the Executioner Majini with a 50+ combo chain active, you will receive the normal 5,000 points for killing him, then you will receive an additional 7,000 bonus points because the current combo gauge is over 50. Instead of 5,000 points for a normal Executioner Majini kill, you will receive 12,000 points for killing him.
