Resident Evil 2 or RE2 Remake is one of the hardest games in the series, so getting an S rank is much more difficult. But if you’re someone who really wants to challenge yourself, then this is great for you. Also, if you are a Resident Evil fan, you need to do this as it is the ultimate proof that you are really good at these games. Even then, it may take a few tries, but it’s definitely not impossible. So, this guide will tell you what steps you will need to take to get the coveted S and S+ rank.
How to get S and S+ rank in Resident Evil 2 Remake (RE2)
One good reason you might want to get an S or S+ rank in Resident Evil 2 Remake is because you will unlock weapons with infinite ammo. It’s a motivator that keeps you trying to reach those hard-to-reach ranks in RE2.
To get an S and S+ rank in RE2, you will need to race against the clock. This is the case in most Resident Evil games that fans of the series may already be aware of. Let’s look at both ranks separately and what is required for each.
How to get an S rank in RE2 Remake
To get an S rank in Resident Evil 2 Remake, you need to complete the game within a certain period of time. These time frames differ depending on whether this is your first playthrough of the game or not. Note that Leon and Claire’s stories count as separate playthroughs. So here’s how it works:
- First Playthrough (Scenario A) – Complete the game in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes.
- Second Playthrough (Scenario “B”) – Complete the game in less than 3 hours.
How to get an S+ rank in RE2 Remake
To get an S+ rank, you will need to do almost the same as the S rank, but now on Hardcore instead of standard difficulty. Keep in mind that in this mode you can only manually save 3 times during your playthrough. Here are the time frames:
- First Playthrough (Scenario A) Complete the game in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- Second Playthrough (Scenario “B”) – Complete the game in less than 2 hours.
