How To Unlock Hunk And The 4th Survivor In Resident Evil 2

As you’re probably aware, the newly fangled remake of Resident Evil 2 is chock-full with secrets and unlockable content. But did you know that Capcom’s latest survival horror also hides a cool bonus mode lifted straight out of the original 1998 classic?

Dubbed The 4th Survivor, this new mode places you in the blood-soaked boots of everyone’s favorite Umbrella Security officer, Hunk, and tasks you with escaping the mutated monstrosities that have taken hold of the Raccoon City Police Department. This is arguably one of the most challenging scenarios in the entire game. However, if you’re in the mood to unlock it, you’re already in the right place.

Unlocking Hunk and The 4th Survivor scenario requires players to beat the game with either Leon or Claire, and then beat the game with the opposite character in their respective 2nd Run scenario. In other words, first complete the campaign with either Leon or Claire, and then finish another playthrough with whatever character you didn’t choose, making sure to select the newly unlocked 2nd Run option from the game’s main screen. This is much akin to the original Resident Evil 2‘s A/B scenario setup.

Once both scenarios have been completed, players will unlock Hunk and The 4th Survivor bonus mode. If you thought that the main game was tough, then you’ll be in for a rude awakening. This new scenario is as hard as a zombie-flavored gobstopper. Not only must you contend with a bunch of nasty beasties, but you’ll be battling against the clock as well. For those who finally unlock this secret mode, we wish you the best of luck trying to finish it. You’re going to need it!

If you do manage to beat the The 4th Survivor, you’ll be treated to another brand new scenario: the legendary Tofu mode where – you guessed it – players take control of a man-sized, sentient piece of Tofu. We shit you not.

Tell us, are you gonna be trying your darnedest to unlock this new 4th Survivor scenario in Resident Evil 2? Or have you unlocked it already? Or perhaps you’re stuck on one of the game’s many safe or dial locks? Don’t forget to let us know in the usual place.
