Killing The Chainsaw Maniac - Easy Method

Requires a shotgun(with a minimum firepower of 200). And few hand grenades will help also.

When you face any chainsaw guy in the game, it is important to get headshots. The shotgun works best because once you shoot him in the head, it should cause him to stumble. (may require more than one shot depending on your shotgun's damage level)

Once he stumbles and stands still for a sec, you will have the chance to perform a reaction command on him, by pressing X if you're close enough.

Once the command is done, immediately toss a grenade at his feet. The grenade should explode as soon as the chainsaw guy recovers from your previous attack. The grenade explosion will again give you a chance to perform another reaction command.

Repeat these steps and he should die in no time.

Easiest Way To Kill Uroboros Wesker

When you are at the volcano(playing as Chris/Sheva) you can easily kill Uroboros Wesker by aiming and firing a rocket at his feet when he reveals his weak spot. He should be destroyed with one rocket if done right.

Easily Unlock Professional Mode

Just have your friend who has professional mode invite you to the game on professional (any level) and it will be unlocked on yours.

Mercenary Mode Ammo

If you drop your least favorite weapon and ammo for it, all the ammo you find in Mercenary mode will be for the gun you are holding.
