On completing a sub-Chapter of the game, you receive a Rank depending on your performance during the game. From worst to best: C, B, A, S - you are awarded Exchange Points based on your difficulty and your ranking. For example, an A Rank on Amateur will net you 900 pts compared to Veteran's 1,500 pts.
Exchange Points are collected through all playthroughs and can be used by accessing the Bonus Features menu from the main menu.
The following tables lists all available unlockables that can be purchased. In some cases, more information can be found in the sub-categories on those specific Unlockables.
Costumes
There are two additional costumes for each character. These will generally be seen on your characters at all times, minus scripted events, once you pick your guns up from Reynard in Chapter 1-1.
