Resident Evil Revelations Raid Mode: levels, weapons and co-op
Prepare Raid missions with level-appropriate equipment.
Edition covered
Reference focuses on the 2013 PC/console HD version of the 2012 Nintendo 3DS game. Pictures show that HD version. Infernal difficulty, Wall Blister and expanded Raid content must not be assumed available in the original 3DS release.
Raid progression
Raid Mode is a separate combat progression mode with character levels, weapons and custom parts. Missions reuse locations in a different challenge structure. Campaign ammunition habits still help, but the equipment and leveling loop must be managed on its own screen.
| System | What it changes | Useful habit |
|---|---|---|
| Character level | Progression strength | Choose an appropriate stage. |
| Weapon level | Equipment performance | Compare with the planned mission. |
| Custom parts | Weapon behavior | Build a specific role. |
| Stage completion | Opens progression opportunities | Review the result and next challenge. |
Loadout checks
Compare weapon level, slot capacity and the effect of custom parts before entering a stage. A higher number is not the only useful trait: the loadout must handle close pressure, ranged threats and the ammunition needed to finish the mission.
| Check | Question | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Effective range | Can the loadout reach distant enemies? | Keep a precision option. |
| Close pressure | Can it interrupt a rush? | Bring a suitable close weapon. |
| Ammunition | Can it last through the stage? | Avoid wasteful firing patterns. |
| Partner equipment | What role is missing? | Choose complementary tools. |
Co-op needs complementary preparation
A partner can cover a weakness in range or crowd control, but both players still need enough healing and ammunition. Communicate before rushing ahead and use the game's partner calls to keep the group focused on the same route.
HD content differs from 3DS
The HD release adds Raid content including additional playable characters and equipment, while Infernal is a campaign difficulty addition. Check a reward against the version being played before treating a 3DS unlock list as complete for PC.
