Combat and items (14)

The Basics of Survival

Combine any two items in the inventory, such as two herbs or gunpowder; the story makes you combine key items early anyway.

Eat This!

Counter a grab with a sub-weapon (knife, grenade or flash grenade) equipped.

Hip to Add Squares

Pick up your first hip pouch. The earliest is in the West Office safe.

That'll Hold 'Em

Board up a first-floor window in the police station with Wooden Boards.

First Break-In

Open any dial safe. The first is the West Office floor safe on 1F (left 9, right 15, left 7).

Customizer

Attach a weapon part to a weapon. Leon's desk locks in the West Office give a handgun part.

A Vault-like Mind

Open either portable safe from the inventory. The first is in the 2F Shower Room, the second in the Linen Room.

Vermin Extermination

Shoot or break any Mr. Raccoon; the West Office one is the first.

Don't Need No Stinkin' Gun

Kill any enemy with the knife. A downed zombie is the easiest target.

Bon Appétit

Counter a grab with a grenade or flash grenade equipped, then shoot the grenade in the enemy's mouth before it goes off. Tip: A grenade sits in the first room of either 2nd Run, with zombies just outside.

Hats Off!

Shoot the Tyrant's hat off once he starts stalking the police station.

Keep Their Heads Ringin'

Hit a licker with a flash grenade, thrown or used as a counter.

Kill three enemies at once with a thrown grenade; wait until a group bunches up before you throw. Tip: The opening area of either 2nd Run has a grenade and a crowd of zombies.

Like Skeet Shooting

Shoot a zombie dog or a licker while it leaps at you. Dogs are the safer target.

Collectibles (5)

Treasure Hunter

(Incomplete, Missable) Develop the sewers film roll in the Dark Room, then find the two items its photos show in the Press Room and the S.T.A.R.S. Office. Incomplete: Where inside the Press Room and S.T.A.R.S. Office the two photo items sit is not written yet. Tip: Do this before the cable car into the lab; afterwards the police station is closed for that run.

A Waist of Space

Collect all six hip pouches in one run; the checklist lists each one in Leon's first run. Tip: Three pouches are missing on Hardcore, so do this on Assisted or Standard.

Lore Explorer

Read all 58 files across the four scenarios. Jill's letter does not count toward the 58. Tip: Files are saved to Records as you pick them up, so you can collect them across runs and quit early.

Complete Vermin Extermination

Break all 15 Mr. Raccoons across the four scenarios. The reward is an unbreakable combat knife.

Master of Unlocking

Open all eight safes and locks: three dial safes and five dial locks. All are in Leon's first run. Tip: The two portable safes are not part of this count.

Bosses and segments (5)

Gotcha!

(Missable) In the second G fight at the end of the sewers, knock G into the pit with the first call of the crane.

1. Make a manual save after placing the chess plugs in the Monitor Room, before the fight.
2. On the crane platform, press the red button to send the container away, then damage G until he is close to death. His shoulder eye turning orange is the reported sign.
3. When he kneels, press the red button again; the returning container must knock him off on this first call. If he stays up, reload.

One Slick Super-spy

(Missable) Finish Ada's segment in Leon's story using only the EMF Visualizer, never her handgun or a sub-weapon. Tip: Save after the alligator fight so you can retry the segment.

Young Escapee

(Missable) In Sherry's segment, escape the starting bedroom within 60 seconds.

1. Save before the Private Collection Room power puzzle, before Sherry's segment starts.
2. Take the stuffed toy, examine it for the block, and place the block to start the sliding puzzle. The start layout is random but the finished picture is fixed.
3. Note your moves, then quit and choose Continue: the timer resets and the layout stays the same. Repeat until you can solve it and cut through the wall with the scissors inside 60 seconds.

With Time to Spare

(Missable) Beat Stage 4 G, Claire's final boss, with at least 4 minutes left on the countdown. Tip: Use the minigun from the room before the fight and aim at the eyes on its chest.

In the Blink of an Eye

(Missable) Beat the Super Tyrant, Leon's final boss, with at least 5 minutes left on the countdown. Tip: Deal enough damage and a rocket launcher is handed to you for the finish.

Rank, difficulty and challenge runs (7)

Leon "S." Kennedy

Finish Leon's story on Standard or Hardcore with an S rank.

1. Rank depends on clear time: within 3:30 for a first run or 3:00 for a 2nd Run on Standard; 2:30 and 2:00 on Hardcore.
2. Assisted does not count. Pausing stops the timer; inventory and file screens do not.
3. After a death, quit to the title and load rather than choosing Continue, which keeps the lost time.

Sizzling Scarlet Hero

Finish Claire's story on Standard or Hardcore with an S rank. The time limits are the same as Leon's.

Hardcore Rookie

(Hardcore) Finish Leon's story, first run or 2nd Run, on Hardcore difficulty. Tip: Saving needs Ink Ribbons on Hardcore. An S rank on Hardcore also counts for the S-rank achievement.

Hardcore College Student

(Hardcore) Finish Claire's story, first run or 2nd Run, on Hardcore difficulty.

Frugalist

Finish any story scenario without using a single healing item. Tip: Assisted heals you partway on its own, which makes this easier. A blue herb used only for poison was reported not to break it.

Minimalist

Finish any story scenario without ever opening the item box. Tip: Grab the hip pouches. Unlocked infinite weapons come from the item box, so you cannot use them here.

A Small Carbon Footprint

Finish a story in 14,000 steps or fewer. Records in the pause menu show your count.

Extra modes and updates (4)

Grim Reaper

Finish The 4th Survivor extra mode, unlocked by finishing any 2nd Run. Tip: Save grenades for the police station stretch and avoid fighting the Tyrant.

Hell of a Sheriff

Finish No Way Out in The Ghost Survivors with Training mode off. Clear the other three Ghost Survivors scenarios first to unlock it.

1. Finish No Time to Mourn, Runaway and Forgotten Soldier; Training mode is fine for these.
2. In No Way Out, kill 100 enemies at the gas station with Training off. Weapons come from backpack zombies; there is no extra ammo for emptied guns, so drop them.

Got 'Em

Break all 10 golden Mr. Raccoons in The Ghost Survivors: four in No Time to Mourn, three in Runaway, two in Forgotten Soldier and one in No Way Out.

Chasing Jill

As Leon, read Jill's letter in Kendo's gun shop after leaving the police station through the parking garage.
