There are many ways to get multiple weapons with unlimited ammo in RE 2. You must remember that the main rule is that you must finish the game in under 3:00:00 with at least a "B" ranking on MEDIUM difficulty. However, the RECCOMENDED time to finish the game should be under 2:30:00 with an "A" rank (on Medium difficulty). If you do not follow these guidelines, such as getting a "D" rank with a bad time (Like 6:00:00) on the Easy difficulty, you will not get any of these secrets. Here is a list of items you will get if you abide by the time and rank rules.

Remember that YOU DO NOT start with these weapons in your inventory. Unlike Resident Evil, the weapons are located in the item box and take up two slots of your item space.

ROCKET LAUNCHER: If you finish the game in under 2:30:00 with an "A" rakning, this powerfull weapon will be yours. Any enemy, including the Tyrant, can be floored with one shot.

GATTLING GUN: If you finish the game in under 2:30:00 witn an "A" ranking, this puppy can be yours. A very fun weapon, to say the least.

GET THE ROCKET LAUNCHER, GATTLING GUN, AND SUB-MACHINEGUN: To get these three weapons with unlimited firepower, you must finish either Second scenario with an "A" ranking and a time under 2:30:00. If you are able to do so, all three weapons will appear simultaenously in the item boxes.

Although these weapons do make the game easier and a bit more interesting, your rank will be decreased by one grade. For example, if you got an "A" rank with a 2:25:00 time, but used the Gattling Gun, you will get a "B" rank instead. Although this will probably not matter to most of you players out there, the ranks are important if you want to unlock Hunk and Tofu.

Hunk and Tofu: The 4th Survivors

To get HUNK, you must finish either second scenario with an "A" ranking (The time you get doesnt matter). If you do, you will be prompted to save as "The 4th survivor" on your memory card.

Hunk is an Unbrella S.W.A.T. team member sent to retrive the G-Virus from Willaim Birkin. Hunk survived, by the way (if you notice in the cut scene at the middle of the game, Birkin only killed three of the men, and the fourth one is the survivor you play). Hunk starts out with a limited ammount of Ammo, so you must be very carefull about what you should kill. The main objective of this "Quest" is to make it to the heliport as safely as possible.

To play as TOFU, you must beat six (6) scenarios in a row. The way to do this is beat a 1st scenario, then a 2nd, then a 1st, and a 2nd, and so on. Make sure you save over the same memory card file or it will be like playing the game over and over for no reason at all. You must also obtain Hunk along the way. After you beat the game six times, you will be prompted to save Tofu's quest.

Tofu is actually a fermented piece of bean curd stapeled together, actually a favorite food among the Japanese. Tofu's scenario is exactly the same as Hunk's, but you only have the Combat Knife as a weapon. This little minigame goes to prove that players could beat the first game in under three hours with only the knife!! I could never do that........

The rules to obtain the key that allows you to swap outfits are exactly the same for Leon and Claire. To get this specail "Key", you must not pick up any items before you reach the Police Department. If you do this correctly, go to the walkway underneath the Police Station entrance and you will find the Brad Vickers zombie stumbling about. Although he will take many shots to defeat, the reward will be worth it. Be sure to search him to find that Key. With this key in your inventory, proceed to the darkroom under the first floor stairs. Use the key at the locker and you will have the EXTRA outfits. Heres what you get:

LEON

Leon will get 2 choices: a S.W.A.T. outfit with a Hat, Tanktop and Military pants. His other choice will be a "biker" outfit with a Leather jacket (skull included on back) and pants. With these two uniforms active, Leon has the ability handle any Handgun with one arm.

CLAIRE

Claire only gets one outfit: a denim Cowgirl uniform with fire designs. However, one outfit trades for a nifty 6-Shooter from the 1800's. This weapon fires very quickly and reloads just as fast.

Whats interesting about changing your outfits is that if you save your game data with the outfits active and you play a second scenario, the character you used will still appear with that outfit.

Here is a complete listing about how to get an "A" ranking. As you can see, Saves and the usage of Health Sprays affects your ranking. Just follow these numbers and you will get that "A" rank.

As long as you stick to this chart, you will get an "A" ranking. Remember that you should still finish the game in under 2:30:00 for an "A" ranking. However, Herbs DO NOT affect your progress. I reccomend that you use herbs instead of health sprays: they dont affect your rank and there are more than enough to go around.
