Resident Evil 5 - Cheats

Glitches/Exploits

  • Infinite Money Exploit: This exploit is also called "Rotten Egg Glitch", because it usually involves duplicating the Rotten Eggs (which is the most valuable non-treasure item in the game, selling for 2000 gold each), but works with any item. This exploit requires two controllers and two gamertags, and is performed as followed:
  1. Play the game till finding at least 1 Rotten Egg;
  2. Deposit everything but the Rotten Egg and go to Chapter 2-1 (or any Chapter where there are no enemies at the start);
  3. Sign into a second controller on a gamertag with Resident Evil 5 data and press join the game;
  4. Click ready on both controllers;
  5. Give Sheva the egg, then quit and save on both files;
  6. Repeat step 5, except ths time give Chris the egg(s) on Sheva, then quit again, but this time and press A to save on Chris and B to not save on Sheva;
  7. Keep repeating step 5 until satisfied: giving Chris the egg and quitting;
  8. Each character can have up to 45 eggs in their inventory, selling a total of 90.000 gold.

  • Item Steal Exploit: This infamous exploit involves hosting a game and kicking the partner as soon they join to steal their items. Requires two controllers, and is performed as followed:
  1. Host a game on any chapter;
  2. Wait till a player join the game;
  3. Turn on the second controller and kick the other player;
  4. Press start on the second controller and join with no gamertag;
  5. You will be taken back to the Item Management screen;
  6. Notice that the other player's items will be on the character.

  • Enemy Freeze Glitch: This graphical glitch involves killing an enemy while using reaction commands, more specifically the Back Leg Stun. It doesn't affect gameplay or the characters in any way, and is performed as followed:
  1. Stun an enemy in the leg;
  2. Run behind him and use the Back Leg Stun Melee (must be a move that involves grabbing the enemy, such as Chris' Neck Break, Sheva's Throat Slit, Jill's Head Grab, Josh's Suplex and Excella's First Aid);
  3. Right before the character grabs the enemy for the Leg Stun Melee, have the other character to hit the enemy with a knockback attack (like a Shotgun fire or Front Leg Stun Melee). The timing is strict, the enemy must be knocked in the exact moment the first character grabs him;
  4. If done correctly, the enemy will either freeze while standing still (happens mostly with Majinis wielding shields) or fall on the ground, but freezed as well. After a few seconds the enemy will just dissolve like usual.

quotBuyingquot ammunition

If you have a lot of money and have unlocked a particular gun you can buy that gun and sell it for a very reduced price However when you sell the gun whatever ammunition inside it when being sold is be transferred to your inventory allowing you to quotbuyquot ammo albeit at a very high price Note Buy the lowest cost type of gun because the ammunition is universal For example it does not matter which pistol to buy as long as you are trying to get pistol ammunition

quotCavesquot Easy money

The easiest and quickest way to make money is on Chapter 41 Play the level under the Amateur difficulty setting and look for all the treasures Collecting all the treasures will result in about 40000 gold There are seven treasures in part one of the level ten in part two and another ten including the Soul Gem worth 10000 gold in part 3

quotPublic Assemblyquot VZ61 machine gun

After the gate has broken open you can enter the market Go all the way down the street until you see big red doors and gas cans next to them Turn right just before the gas cans There will be a brief case you can open with a VZ61 Machine gun in it If you look closely the gun looks similar to the quotScorpionquot sub machine gun from Call Of Duty 4 This gun will make this level much easier

quotStorage Facilityquot Easy gold

Start Chapter 21 under any difficulty setting with a friend via the Internet Note You must have eggs to do this trick Begin your game with your partner Have whoever has the eggs drops out of the game leaving all the eggs to the AI character Have the other person then request all of the eggs from the AI character and complete the level making sure that the game saves Then go back into the game with your partner at the same level making sure that you have the eggs in every inventory slot Then drop out leaving all the eggs to the AI Have your partner request all the eggs then complete the level You can repeat this as many times as desired The eggs will multiply each time you do this and you can sell them for 2000 gold This is a way to receive unlimited amounts of money to buy whatever you need

quotTrain Stationquot Easy money

Fight through the first two packs of dogs After the second pack of dogs you should see a stack of lumber Climb up the stack all the way On the top stack turn right and you can collect a Jewel Beetle worth 2000 gold Climb down the stack and continue forward past the train car Turn right keeping the train car on the righthand side When you are almost to the end of that wall you can collect another Jewel Beetle on the righthand wall After you collect both Jewel Beetles quit the game and save your inventory Load the level again Sell the Jewel Beetles for a total of 4000 gold and play through the level again The Beetles will respawn The only ammo you should expend is on the two packs of dogs and two shots to destroy the explosive trip wire Other than that you should not have to shoot anything elseDerrick Hensley

quotUroboros Research Facilityquot Easy ammunition

In Chapter 52 quotUroboros Research Facilityquot after the conveyor belt area and you start a new checkpoint you reach a point where you drop down There are a number of crates with flame rounds rifle rounds handgun ammo and an incendiary grenade Collect everything then save the game and quit When you start again remove the collected items from the item management screen and collect them all again You can get 300 handgun bullets in a matter of ten minutes

quotUroboros Research Facilityquot Easy gold

At the start of level 53 go to the place where Excella talks to you at the end of level 52 Just beside the door you will see a safe containing a Treasure worth 3000 gold Quit and save then sell it during item management Repeat this as many times as possible until you max out your weapons

Defeating Lickers

The Lickers are far more difficult than in previous Resident Evil games However they have a weakness Notice they have a quotheartquot hanging down from their chest The best way to target this is to use a rifle for example the PSG1 Target the darker red bulge If you cannot get a clear shot at it score a head shot and they will recoil making the chest more vulnerable and easier to target With the PSG1 this will allow for a two shot kill or perhaps a one shot kill if you can hit the heart with the first shot Hand grenades also work very wellTthey will completely disappear when hit with a grenade This is very useful in Chapter 53 when you have to face a large number of them

Defeating the final Uroburos Boss

Upgrade the Lightning Hawk all the way and purchase unlimited ammunition for it 15000 points

Easy money

Go through a chapter collecting as many hand grenades as possible Then start Coop mode with a friend system link or over the Internet Give your partner all of your grenades and have them exit the game After they leave your AI partner will still have all of the grenades Make sure you request them back While you do this your friend that left can sell the ones he took with him You can have up to five in each slot and they sell for 250 gold each You will gain 11322 gold each time you do this if you have all your slots full This is also a good way to stock up on ammunition

Easy quick game

Use the following trick to get a combined clear time for the entire game of under five hours to unlock unlimited RPG ammunition A really easy way of doing this is to play under the Amateur difficulty setting and just run pass all enemies Only kill storydriven enemies ones that hold key cards or those that must be defeated to advance the game Also avoid any crates barrels or treasures Attempting this with a friend instead of the CPUcontrolled Sheva is recommended Note You do not need to purchase the infinite ammo in quotBonus Featuresquot as you would do for normal guns

Efficient healing

If both players stand in front each other and one of them heals themselves both persons will get healed

How to get versus mode characters
