Resident Evil 5 is the seventh main game in Capcom's Resident Evil franchise, released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2009 and for Nintendo Switch in 2019. Initially announced in 2005, a few months after the release of Resident Evil 4, RE5 was notably the first Resident Evil game in the main series produced after Shinji Mikami left Capcom.In an effort to reach a wider userbase, Capcom developed RE5 as a multiplatform release from the get-go rather than targeting a specific console as was the case with previous numbered installments. Featuring the same play mechanics and interface introduced in RE4, RE5 added an online co-op system that allowed the main story to be experienced by up to two players simultaneously. The developers also addressed criticism of RE4's loose ties to previous games by writing a storyline for RE5 focusing on the longtime rivalry between Chris Redfield and his arch-nemesis Albert Wesker 10 years after the events of Code: Veronica. It went on to become Capcom's best-selling game of all time by a significant margin, only being beaten out by Monster Hunter: World in 2018.Chris Redfield, now working for BSAA - an international group dedicated to dealing with bio-terrorist threats - has traveled to the African nation of Kijuju to deal an outbreak of what appears to be an altered version of Las Plagas. Allying himself with a Kijuju native and fellow BSAA operative named Sheva Alomar, their fight against this new outbreak is complicated when they discover who's involved with it...RE5 featured downloadable content, including two extra chapters ("Lost in Nightmare" and "Desperate Escape"), an online versus mode, and additional costumes and characters for the "Mercenaries" minigame. These additional contents were included in a re-release of the game titled Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. Another re-release, an HD re-release with no subtitle, was released for PS4 and Xbox One, once again with all the DLC attached and minor changes and a new mercenaries mode. | |

Say My Name: "CHRIIISSSSS!!!" "SHEEEVVVAAA!!!" "JIIIIILLLLL!!!" "WESKEERRRRRRR!!!" In Mercenaries Co-op, if one character dies, the other character will scream his/her name as long as they're not both the same character. This means you can hear Wesker scream Chris' name in sorrow or Excella scream Rebecca's name with no emotion at all. After being dropped in the volcano and burning, Wesker screams Chris' name in a frenzied rage. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Melee attacks are very powerful, some are even instant kills. Yet you can't use them willy-nilly, you've got to shoot enemies first. The secret method of defeating the final boss has Chris run up behind Uroboros-abusing Wesker and hold his betentacled arms while Sheva runs up and start stabbing him in the glowing weak spot. Common sense dictates that you don't fight a monster that assimilates every lifeform it touches by jumping on its back. However, this method quickly drains your health while you're in physical contact with Wesker, such that even on normal you need almost full health to pull it off before dying midway through the cutscene. You can forget about trying it on Professional unless you're really good at button-mashing. On Professional, one hit from most attacks is enough to put you into the Dying state, which lasts a grand total of two seconds. With how long some animations last, certain attacks can kill you outright and your partner won't be able to help. Since it takes time for your partner to pull out their first aid to heal you, where you can quickly die in the process unless they use it immediately, it can actually be beneficial to not pick up health items. This is because resuscitating instantly stops your health from draining and puts you right back into the fight. Trying to exploit the bizarre Weaksauce Weakness Uroboros has to knives means you are Too Dumb to Live. Seriously, it's a giant tentacle monster and your name isn't Heracles. Although, from a design perspective, it makes sense. You're most likely to run out of ammo fighting Wesker on beginner mode, whereas the secret method uses only knives. Thus, players who have run out of options might be in a better position to activate the semi-suicidal attack on beginner, where the backlash of it won't be harsh. | |

Aborted Arc: Despite Wesker having a collection of most of the viruses the franchise has introduced (the only one he lacked being the t+G Virus from Dead Aim), building him up as a threat by having so many at his disposal, none of them besides Las Plagas were used, and there's little indication they were used in his own experiments with Uroboros. | |

A few chapters later, Wesker infects Excella with Uroboros, and when it consumes her, he makes a similar comment to the one Excella made previously. | |

Ammunition Backpack | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_25248a68 | comment |
Ammunition Backpack: The Gatling Gun comes with a huge backpack-o-ammo, whether it's being used by an enemy or Chris. It's actually somewhat problematic when you use it, since the huge backpack blocks off so much of your vision that large parts of the screen becomes obstructed while in aim-mode. The backpack itself, however, protects Chris from gunshots to his back. It may, in a few lucky cases, act as an obstacle for a lunging Majini, making it miss when it would have hit. | |

Chris, when not player-controlled, is about to fight the biggest boss in all of RE history. The thing is Godzilla-sized. "Great. I feel more crazy talk coming." Chris, getting fed up with Wesker's constant monologues. "A chainsaw? Are you kidding me?" Chris, again when not player-controlled, sees the first Chainsaw Majini.

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Gatling Gun one can unlock for Chris is very inaccurate. The ammo reserve also blocks part of the camera view. On the other hand, each bullet fired packs a huge punch for an automatic weapon and the ammo backpack is also completely bullet-proof. The Rocket Launcher, in most situations aside from bosses. Though it's a One-Hit Kill for most of the enemies, you need to be quite distant from your target to use it, else you blow up too. And if someone gets in close range while you shoot... The Stun Rod is perfectly capable of, indeed, stunning almost every enemy you hit with it, up to and including Lickers and Reapers, and you can basically lock them and smack them with it until they die. Unfortunately, it takes quite a bit of skill to use this weapon effectively, since you have to get within melee range to use it, which is dangerous in many situations, especially against said Reapers. Although it gets pushed a bit more into practical territory in that it can defeat a plagas host without releasing the plagas, meaning you can smack a majini you know has a plagas until it dies. | |

Tank Controls | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_2d2a7825 | comment |
Tank Controls: Similarly to Resident Evil 4, the game uses slightly modified tank controls. The camera is always following Chris over the shoulder, and as a result, going "back" doesn't make him run towards the camera as in many three-dimensional games. Instead, he backs up. His movement feels clunky and he has a hard time turning while going any direction. Particularly notable considering this is a current-gen title — and most players expect controls like these to have died way back in the PS1 era. Capcom seems hell-bent on keeping them going. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Resident Evil 5 continues a trend started by 4 of naming monsters after a foreign word in the game's foreign setting, this time Swahili. For the Type 2 Plagas: the spider-like unhosted adults are referred to as "Bui Kichwa" ("Big Spider Head"), the head-replacing tentacle-like "Cephalo" ("Head", and short for the Kenyan root vegetable "Cephalopentandra"), the flying bat-leech "Kipepeo" ("Butterfly") and "Duvalia" (after a kind of African carrion-flower). The name "Majini", which refers to the infected hosts, translates to "Evil Spirit". Some of the Uroboros monsters also have meaningful names. The one encountered in the Tricell lab is called Uroboros Mkono, with Mkono meaning "arm" in Swahili (fittingly enough, this one has a very long arm). The one transformed from Excella Gionne is called Uroboros Aheri, Luo for "I love you", signifying that Excella was ended by her love for Wesker. | |

Shapeshifter Baggage | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_30509b6d | comment |
Shapeshifter Baggage: Played straight most of the time. Uroboros, in addition to all its biological properties, also gleefully flips off the laws of physics and is more than capable of turning your average human being into a hulking monstrosity the size of a truck in a matter of seconds. It's that kind of series, though. Averted/Played with once in 6-2: Excella absorbs a pile of corpses while transforming. While this is the first time Resident Evil has ever tried to explain where the extra mass comes from, Capcom failed to realized 50-ish humans doesn't quite add up to a 100 foot monstrosity half the size of a battleship... | |

Upon first obtaining all four pieces of the emblem and opening the door to the big village near the end of the chapter, directly to the right of the entrance after the waterlogged passage to the village proper, there's a S&W M29 on a corpse slumped against a tree in the center of an elevated ring walkway. Upon entering the enclosure, giant spikes will spring from the ground, trapping you within while four archers with explosive crossbows enter the elevated portion and start firing down on you like fish in a barrel. Only after killing the archers do the spikes lower, allowing you to escape. | |

Ascended Meme | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: Remember the infamous "Jill Sandwich" line that has been the most memorable thing about Barry Burton ever since the first Resident Evil? Well, Barry is a DLC character in Mercenary Reunion now, and one of his melee moves is called "Barry Sandwich"... Chris' infamous line "Barry? Where's Barry?" from the original game is played-with. One of Barry's one-liners is "HERE'S BARRY!". Another is "I HAVE THIS!" when performing a melee attack. Master of Unlocking gets some love as well. When you rip off Jill's mind control device, you get an Trophy/Achievement called "Master of Removing". The DLC level Lost in Nightmares has fun with a lot of the meme fodder from the first game, including Jill's lockpicking abilities, the Moon Logic Puzzle craze and so on. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: The flamethrower you use to kill the second Uroboros. Justified, since it's there on purpose as a safety measure, making this more of a planning error on the part of Excella. Later on, you face Excella herself on the roof of the Tricell Oil Tanker, in which there is a satellite laser you can use to shoot her main core. Why is there a satellite based laser synced to the roof of the tanker? That is never explained. To an extent, the second boss battle against Wesker. It's oddly convenient that he can't see you in the dark, and you just so happen to be fighting him in an arena with easily-located light switches! He could easily remove his sunglasses (and does once you inject him), but doesn't. The player can remove his sunglasses if they got grabbed by the shoulder before doing a QTE, but Wesker still behaves like he's wearing his sunglasses. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Flash grenades are very versatile once you know what all they can do. Any normal enemy stunned by them will be open to a melee attack, any parasite monster will instantly die if hit by one, the same goes for Bui Kichwas (the spider-like ones that grapple you), humanoid boss enemies will usually end up open to a finisher melee, and with the grenade launcher, you can keep 12 on hand and buy more as ammo for it. Learning how the melee system works can take some practice, and it's harder than just shooting, but it can save you a lot of ammo that you would otherwise use on lesser enemies, and possible bosses once you learn how. note Real quick overview: enemies can get stunned, with a unique animation, if you shoot them in the right place, and where you are standing. Normal enemies will get different attacks if they got stunned from a hit to the head/flash grenades, and depending on if you're in front or behind if hit in the arms or legs. what melee the boss is open to depends on how hard the boss was hit in most cases. Machine guns aren't overly powerful, and you can find yourself burning through ammo quickly if you're not real good at them. Solution? Give them to Sheva and remove her handgun. The AI is often enough significantly more resourceful with the abundant machine gun ammo than a regular player is, as well as fairly accurate. Playing this way allows the player to keep a handgun, shotgun, and possibly a rifle if they so choose without worrying about Sheva hogging and blasting all the same ammo until you're both dry. | |

Why Am I Ticking? | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_402140eb | comment |
Why Am I Ticking?: In Mercenaries, Excella's "first aid" move basically does this to enemies. It's a longer instant kill attack, but the enemy killed with it will blow up 3-4 seconds after the attack. They are immobilized for it and the blast range is kind of small, but it still seems to do the damage of a full force hand grenade inside of its range. | |

Resources Management Gameplay: De-emphasized compared to previous games. You only have 9 inventory slots and need to scrounge the battlefield for ammo and items, but resource conservation is heavily de-emphasized compared to even Resident Evil 4 since you can just re-play completed levels to grind for more ammo and items. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Lost in Nightmare and Desperate Escape DLC end on a happy note with a steep price. Lost in Nightmares ends with Jill tackling Wesker out of a window to save Chris and she and Wesker are presumed dead. However, most people who already played through the main game once have seen the cut scene leading to it anyway. Desperate Escape has Josh's pilot friend, Doug, buy him and Jill some time to get to his chopper, only for Doug to get blown up by a Majini wielding a rocket launcher. Josh is filled with sorrow over the loss of his friend while Jill consoles him. | |

Last Villain Stand: At the end, Wesker's lost practically everything. He's killed off and betrayed all of his allies, his resources are gone, and Chris and Sheva have just managed to crash his plane, robbing him of his only chance to unleash Uroboros upon the world. All he has left is a single canister of the virus. Wesker refuses to surrender and exposes himself to Uroboros (which would have eventually consumed him had he won), all for one last chance to finally kill Chris. | |

Menu Time Lockout | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_4eea352 | comment |
Menu Time Lockout: While having a very typical inventory, the game averts the usual pause while in the inventory and thus averts this trope, to give the player the sense of fearful scrambling to do something quickly in the middle of a fight or to plan ahead well. The actual reason for this is because the game can be played online with someone controlling your partner, so obviously having paused menu screens would be inconvenient to your counterpart, but it definitely goes a long way to upping the panic factor. | |

Book Ends: "More and more, I find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting for." Additionally, the game begins as Chris muses this question and hoping he finds an answer as he enters Africa. The game ends with him musing upon it again and with a clear decision on it as he's leaving Africa. | |

Nostalgia Level | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_56b5a6b7 | comment |
Nostalgia Level: "Lost in Nightmares" harkens back to the first game. The DLC, which happens three years before the main game, is significantly based upon the mansion from Resident Evil. The characters even comment on the striking similarity. Even more, if the player tries to trigger an optional cutscene from the first game three times, the camera will switch to the same fixed camera view from the older games. The Chris from that DLC is noticeably slimmer and is not hulked up like his current self. | |

Dump Stat | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: A weapon's reload speed, as once the player has their muscle memory down, they can instantly reload a weapon even in the heat of battle through the inventory popup, making this moot—this means that in cases like the M29 magnum, it will lose the only disadvantage it has against the Lightning Hawk, the weaker gun of the same class. That being said, the inventory popup is done in real time, meaning the actual gameplay doesn't pause, so there's still some level of risk involved. In the same spirit, certain weapons handle different ways, with their own advantages and disadvantages; this only means that a weapon that may be difficult for a human player to use (like the first two sniper rifles due to aiming problems) become perfect killing tools in the hands of the far less mistake-prone AI partner. You may not feel like handling the S75, but there's no reason to sell it off when Sheva will use it fine with no practice. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: "Uroboros" — or "ouroboros" — means "tail-eating" in ancient Greek, and is often depicted as a snake eating its own tail. It represents the ever-continuing cycle of life and death, or, better yet, the cyclic nature of beginning and end. Resident Evil 5 continues a trend started by 4 of naming monsters after a foreign word in the game's foreign setting, this time Swahili. For the Type 2 Plagas: the spider-like unhosted adults are referred to as "Bui Kichwa" ("Big Spider Head"), the head-replacing tentacle-like "Cephalo" ("Head", and short for the Kenyan root vegetable "Cephalopentandra"), the flying bat-leech "Kipepeo" ("Butterfly") and "Duvalia" (after a kind of African carrion-flower). The name "Majini", which refers to the infected hosts, translates to "Evil Spirit". Some of the Uroboros monsters also have meaningful names. The one encountered in the Tricell lab is called Uroboros Mkono, with Mkono meaning "arm" in Swahili (fittingly enough, this one has a very long arm). The one transformed from Excella Gionne is called Uroboros Aheri, Luo for "I love you", signifying that Excella was ended by her love for Wesker. | |

Fanservice: Chris's Warrior outfit puts him in leather pants and no shirt with a choke chain. Sheva's alternate costumes become gradually more revealing until she's wearing war paint, a leopard-skin bikini, and a short wrap around her hips. Wesker starts off the last battle naked to the waist. You can tell Jill's turned evil because she's wearing a skintight purple "battle suit". | |

Go Back to the Source: Chris eventually discovers that the Kijuju region was where Umbrella found the very first virus they experimented with: the Progenitor Virus, which turned out to be the basis for all the other viruses they developed. The source itself is a kind of flower that only grows in this area, more specifically an underground ruin that used to be an ancient African kingdom. One of the files indicates that ingesting the flower used to be a rite of passage for ancient kings in the area, and those who survived would ascend to the throne. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The BSAA Emblems. Special mention must go to the second-to-last one, which you literally cannot see. You just have to know which box to throw a grenade into. It's visible in a cutscene, which can be skipped if you shoot the enemy before it triggers. In fact, the entire emblem can become impossible to get if you skip the cutscene! The, for lack of a better term, "Synergy" system in Mercenaries in the original release and Gold Edition which would enhance set melee attacks in duo mode if you pair the correct two characters. Chris, Sheva, Josh Stone, Excela, Barry, and Rebecca will have improved melee, but it's only 1-2 moves and the game doesn't tell you which characters it works on or which moves they are. The game doesn't explain melee until chapter 3-1, with a completely random clipboard that doesn't fit in with the level at all. And even then, it only explains the most basic idea of melee attacks, despite how useful the system is as a whole. In addition, this comes after it would be the most useful, the beginning of the game where it could save you a lot of ammo and heavily increase your damage output that your guns cannot provide yet. | |

Invulnerable Knuckles | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_6fb4d332 | comment |
Invulnerable Knuckles: Chris somehow manages to punch a boulder during the final boss fight and move it, all without injuring himself. Humorously enough, an Averted Trope otherwise in the game - Chris doing a straight punch against enemies (initiated against them from their front) has him shake his hand off after and one of the fights with Wesker can involve a sequence which can result in Chris punching Wesker several times in the face and briefly shaking off his hand after knocking him down (it can be seen here). Evidently, Chris' enemies' faces are harder than a boulder. | |

Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_7265f84d | comment |
Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle: A lot of people felt that the imagery used in the trailers hearkened back to the more openly racist days when depictions of Africans as animalistic and barely human were rather common and accepted. Most importantly, they felt the concept of a white American male shooting shambling, black Africans to be more than a bit distasteful. It didn't help that the trailer never actually explicitly said anything about zombies, making it even more unsettling to those unfamiliar with the series. Controversy ensued. What definitely didn't help was the beginning of Chapter 3, which shifted the setting from modern-day urban Africa to a much more rural enemies, and changed the enemies from a variety of races in casual contemporary clothing to very dark-skinned Africans wearing loincloths and war paint, charging out of their mud huts wielding primitive spears and screaming war cries. Hand Waved (if only just) if you read the diary of a kid from the village, where he points out that in general the adults don't usually wear the tribal stuff, and actually regressed due to becoming infected. Why this didn't happen with any other group infected by Las Plagas is left unanswerednote The village in 4 is established to have been incredibly isolated and technologically backwards even before everyone was infected. | |

All boxes have a white back, red for handgun ammo, blue for machine gun, green for shotguns, white for sniper rifles, bright colors for the grenade launcher ammos with each ammo type having its own color, and red/grey for magnum ammo. | |

Combat Tentacles | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_77666408 | comment |
Combat Tentacles: Uroboros. Period. If it rejects a person, the person turns into a writhing tentacle monster. If it doesn't, the person still gets tentacles. Wesker suffers from the latter. Irving gets combat tentacles as well, though this is due to an advanced strain of Las Plagas from Resident Evil 4 rather than Uroboros. Also caused by the sole attack of Bui Kichwas, which wrap around a character's torso while slowly draining their health and leaving them vulnerable to other enemies. | |

Kick Them While They Are Down: Starting with this title, each character has a dedicated melee attack/downed finisher on a Majini that's lying face up or face down on the ground. Chris stomps them in the chest or head, and Sheva will stab them with her knife or use a double-knee drop depending on how the enemy is lying on the ground. All of the characters you can select in the Mercenaries Mode, have their own dedicated melee attacks and finishers as well. | |

| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_82108e3d | comment |
The secret method of defeating the final boss has Chris run up behind Uroboros-abusing Wesker and hold his betentacled arms while Sheva runs up and start stabbing him in the glowing weak spot. Common sense dictates that you don't fight a monster that assimilates every lifeform it touches by jumping on its back. However, this method quickly drains your health while you're in physical contact with Wesker, such that even on normal you need almost full health to pull it off before dying midway through the cutscene. You can forget about trying it on Professional unless you're really good at button-mashing. | |

For the Type 2 Plagas: the spider-like unhosted adults are referred to as "Bui Kichwa" ("Big Spider Head"), the head-replacing tentacle-like "Cephalo" ("Head", and short for the Kenyan root vegetable "Cephalopentandra"), the flying bat-leech "Kipepeo" ("Butterfly") and "Duvalia" (after a kind of African carrion-flower). The name "Majini", which refers to the infected hosts, translates to "Evil Spirit". | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: The partner A.I. is very controversial, receiving wildly varying statements regarding how good or bad it is. One quirk that is likely to frustrate players until they figure it out: The A.I. will not help you escape from grabs unless you press the Talk button, even if they're standing right next to you. The partner A.I. will avoid interrupting animations whenever possible. The player can immediately revive their buddy when they start bleeding out, but the A.I. just won't. On Professional difficulty, the bleed-out timer runs out almost as fast as the damage animation finishes, and your A.I. partner will watch you die at their feet. What weapon the A.I. will use depends on the game's value of its ammunition, not the current circumstances of the battle. They will use pistols, then machine guns, then shotguns, then sniper rifles, then hand cannons. The actual supply of the ammo doesn't matter; if you hand Sheva a fancy, upgraded magnum with Bottomless Magazines unlocked, she'll still use literally any other weapon until she exhausts her ammo stocks, and if she picks up any more rounds she'll go right back to it. It seems that this was done to A.I. Sheva to save ammo for the player on their first time out, since A.I. Chris will switch weapons more often depending on the situation, but he's only available as part of New Game Plus. The A.I. in Lost in Nightmares is even worse. In the final battle against Wesker in Lost in Nightmares, Jill will never dodge Wesker's attacks. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Even though the controls are technically the same, if you decide to play as Sheva, it will take you some getting used to for orientating the camera with her on the right during aiming. People who played lots of Resident Evil 4 might find some of the changes to the button mapping (particularly with regard to the Run and Fire buttons) to be jarring. In a similar vein, but not quite controls, the club wielding mini-bosses in the sun corridors got changed in the HD re-releases so that the sun rays no longer instantly vaporize them, but deals moderate damage to them instead. Before, the player could get them caught in the sun beams for an instant kill that denied you their treasure drops, but now they will only flinch and take damage, and still drop their treasure even if the beam kills them. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Sheva's longbow in the original version of the game; it lacked a laser sight (for obvious reasons) or any sort of aiming cursor, requiring players to determine the correct location of the target by themselves. However, it has a high amount of power (rivals magnums without upgrades) and has infinite ammo by default. The Gold edition, however, gave the longbow a targeting reticule, thus removing its greatest disadvantage. | |

Kill It with Fire: Uroboros, a virus that turns those infected with it into a writhing mass of infinitely-regenerating black oozing tentacles. Fortunately for every Uroboros fight, there is a source of fire nearby. At least one of these is properly justified, too; it's in a test lab, and they had better be packing flamethrowers to take care of any out-of-control experiments. In Mercenaries Reunion, Rebecca gets flame sprays to kill majini with. | |

Hand Cannon | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_9cde2df1 | comment |
Hand Cannon: There are three magnums in 5, each with their own pros and cons: The Smith & Wesson M29 of Dirty Harry fame. It's the Jack of All Stats among the three magnums, being weaker than the M500 but still stronger than the Lightning Hawk. The Desert Eagle .50AE (named Lightning Hawk in-game). It's the weakest in terms of firepower but quickest in terms of firing rate and reload speed. The Smith & Wesson M500, which is the real life name of the Handcannon from 4. It's the most powerful handgun in the game, but it's held back by having the smallest capacity and strongest recoil. | |

| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_9f41fabe | comment |
Elite Tweak: Minor, but with infinite ammo, one of the best guns in the game is the Lightning Hawk. It's the weakest magnum, and its highly rare ammo would be wasted since, if you're using magnum ammo, you most likely want every shot to count for as much as possible against a strong enemy. But with infinite ammo, it can replace both your handgun/machine gun and magnum, as the higher power revolvers have a lot of recovery between shot while the L. Hawk has it low enough that you can string the shots together like a handgun while still having higher damage than every other gun class. | |

Murder by Cremation: To kill the first Uroboros, the player needs to lure it into a walk-in furnace and have their partner power it up. The first player runs out before the doors close, leaving the Uroboros to fry. Problematically, it can grab one of the players just as the doors close, leaving them to fry with it. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: The rocket launcher will 1-shot just about any monster in the game, up to and including the final boss, provided you hit their weak spots. Can become a Game-Breaker once you unlock the infinite version. However, be careful not to stand too close to the blast. Shooting an enemy in the leg and going behind them while they're stunned will let you do a melee attack that instantly finishes off the victim. While technically a two hit, the first one being the stun, any enemy you do this to will die instantly, and this prevents parasite mutations from popping out of the corpse, even those encounters that are 100% chances upon death. Speaking of parasites, flash grenades one hit kill exposed parasites, and Bui Kichawa. Reapers' primary attack, if they have all four limbs, is to grab the player character and disembowel them. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Wesker, after having flashstepped his way past every bullet Chris fires, has his gun pressed up against his nemesis' forehead.

Weaksauce Weakness | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_c09dbbbb | comment |
Trying to exploit the bizarre Weaksauce Weakness Uroboros has to knives means you are Too Dumb to Live. Seriously, it's a giant tentacle monster and your name isn't Heracles. Although, from a design perspective, it makes sense. You're most likely to run out of ammo fighting Wesker on beginner mode, whereas the secret method uses only knives. Thus, players who have run out of options might be in a better position to activate the semi-suicidal attack on beginner, where the backlash of it won't be harsh. | |

Hold the Line: One boss will declare that he only has seven minutes to deal with you. If you can survive for seven minutes (running away helps), he will insult you and leave. He cannot be beaten, but will drop some treasure if you do enough damage and the fight will end early. The "Desperate Escape" scenario finishes with a five minutes wait for a helicopter to show up, while assorted Majinis swarm you. | |

The continued tradition of calling the Desert Eagle the "Lightning Hawk" is carried on here. However, the SVD/Cobray Street Sweeper (a close relative of Resident Evil 4's Armsel Striker shotgun) is inexplicably named the "Jail Breaker", even though the Striker did not get renamed in a game where virtually everything else did. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: Professional mode. Every attack does 10x damage while you do about 15% less damage, the Dying status is extremely short, enemies stagger much less and they recover at an alarming rate, all of the fixed ammo and items placements are gone, enemies no longer drop herbs, and to top things off, screwing up a quick-time event will guarantee you a one-way trip to the Game Over screen. On the plus side, most of the enemies will basically ignore your partner. You can load them up with machine guns, magnums, rocket launchers, and the like and have them go to work. You also get twice the money than on the lower difficulties and money drops become more frequent. | |

There Is Another: Documents found in the game hinted that Albert isn't the only candidate for Spencer's Project W since he is listed as subject No. 013. Spencer's notes revealed that there is one other candidate still alive at the time of Lost in Nightmares DLC, subject No. 012, aka Alex Wesker (who also wrote a report detailing Project W). | |

Cutscene Incompetence | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd | comment |
Cutscene Incompetence: Inverted. Wesker will beat the crap out of you in the cutscenes, but you can actually knock him on his ass and beat the hell out of him when you fight him. Played straight with far too many confrontations. Chris and Sheva will have various villains at gunpoint... and then not actually shoot them when they start pulling ominous levers, shoot up with a monster virus, or simply leave the room. There are at least eight times this happens. Then there's also the one cutscene where the motorcyle Majini ambush the characters and Sheva's handgun jams - something that is simply impossible during regular gameplay. | |

Final Boss Preview: At the end of Chapter 5, you fight against Wesker and Jill in a 2v2 battle. Unless you're playing on easy, knew what was coming, or you are Crazy-Prepared, it's very unlikely that you'll be able to deal enough damage and you'll have to resort to avoiding them until the seven minutes are up. | |

Fan Disservice: Jill's battle suit during the "Desperate Escape" scenario is unzipped to the point where it shows off a little bit of her cleavage, but she's still got a horrible injury on her chest from where the P99 implant used to be. Wesker takes in Uroboros out of desperation during the last phase of the final battle, turning his shirtless torso into a tentacled monstrosity with an exposed heart and elongated right arm infused with plane debris. After taking enough damage, his left arm turns into a mass of tentacles. | |

Playing Possum | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_c9868780 | comment |
Playing Possum: The chainsaw Majini will do this at higher difficulties. You won't ever see it on Amateur, but if you're doing well on Normal or above, or are on Professional, they will have a high chance of doing this after you have inflicted enough damage to kill them. Once you pick up whatever they dropped, or start to move away, they'll get back up and start swinging their chainsaw like crazy the entire time, which is still a one-hit kill, and move quickly at one of the player characters. You can tell if they're doing this by their chainsaw still running after they fall to the ground, or if you're using a rocket launcher directly on them, they will leave a corpse behind instead of being blown to bloody chunks. | |

Taking You with Me | |

Taking You with Me: Wesker tries to take Chris and Sheva with him after he is finally defeated by them. Dying painfully in volcanic lava and seeing his enemies about to escape in a helicopter, Wesker becomes enraged at the thought of facing his own mortality and the idea that ultimate victory would belong to his hated enemy Chris Redfield. With the last of his strength, Wesker attempts to drag the helicopter into the lava using his Uroboros tentacles. Chris and Sheva free themselves by firing rockets directly at Wesker, obliterating him. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Early into Chapter 6-1, a Majini traps your partner using a crane, forcing you to defeat a wave of enemies until one of them drops a keycard required to access the crane tower. However, if you have the foresight to snipe the Majini standing next to the controls beforehand, the game accounts for this and you're free to continue on without needing to go to the tower. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Done twice, in level 3-1: Upon first obtaining all four pieces of the emblem and opening the door to the big village near the end of the chapter, directly to the right of the entrance after the waterlogged passage to the village proper, there's a S&W M29 on a corpse slumped against a tree in the center of an elevated ring walkway. Upon entering the enclosure, giant spikes will spring from the ground, trapping you within while four archers with explosive crossbows enter the elevated portion and start firing down on you like fish in a barrel. Only after killing the archers do the spikes lower, allowing you to escape. The second time is in the small area further in the village, with a small gold pouch (only worth 100 currency) that upon grabbing will also cause spikes to protrude from the ground, this time likely hitting you and causing a not insignificant amount of damage. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: A few to compensate for being a co-op experience. For starters, unlike in Resident Evil 4, yellow herbs do not exist. This helps with the limited inventory management, as well as making it so you begin the game with max health. In addition, the game allows you to "farm" items by beating the game multiple times or redoing levels over and over, with the game allowing you to accrue infinite ammo, money, and other important items this way. If you get killed, you are taken to the Item Management menu before restarting. This allows you to change your loadout to something more appropriate, upgrade your weapons, or buy a few healing items. During one section when Chris and Sheva must cross an alligator-infested lake on foot, the alligators will always ignore the A.I.-controlled partner. Out of all frustrating deaths the A.I. might suffer from, the developers mercifully spared us that one. In 2023, fourteen years after its initial release, Capcom finally patched to the game to give players the option of completely removing cutscene QTEs. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_dbb414ed | comment |
What definitely didn't help was the beginning of Chapter 3, which shifted the setting from modern-day urban Africa to a much more rural enemies, and changed the enemies from a variety of races in casual contemporary clothing to very dark-skinned Africans wearing loincloths and war paint, charging out of their mud huts wielding primitive spears and screaming war cries. Hand Waved (if only just) if you read the diary of a kid from the village, where he points out that in general the adults don't usually wear the tribal stuff, and actually regressed due to becoming infected. Why this didn't happen with any other group infected by Las Plagas is left unanswerednote The village in 4 is established to have been incredibly isolated and technologically backwards even before everyone was infected. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance: The A.I. partner has a finite aim-sensitivity. They won't immediately snap to a target, and they won't try to anticipate a target that's moving too fast for their sensitivity. During one boss fight, the boss will release these bat-like things that fly around in a fast, tight circle before attacking. You can watch the A.I.'s laser sight trace a cone in the perimeter of the enemy's path. It's amusing as hell, if only for the first time. The A.I. partner's finely-tuned aimbot actually misses more often than you'd expect from an A.I., but to prevent some frustration, the A.I. partner has a 100% success rate with QTEs. In one particular boss fight, namely when you fight Jill by herself, you can grab Jill from behind and your partner will always shoot at the mind control device without ever missing, followed by tackling/slamming Jill to the ground to give you a chance to damage the device further. This makes the Jill solo fight go by a lot faster. | |

Hilarious Outtakes: Not in the game itself, but online, there's a video of Wesker's voice actor (D.C. Douglas) hamming it up even more than "normal". Hope you have good lungs. Wesker, the new Spice Man. Wesker's voice mail. | |

Beating A Dead Player: Should you or your partner die in Chapter 1-1, you're treated to a less-than-subtle cinematic of this. | |

Press X to Not Die | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_e6661fc2 | comment |
Press X to Not Die: Even worse than Resident Evil 4. If you press the wrong button combination, you can't correct yourself if you have enough time, though there is some leniency on lower difficulties. Thankfully, they're much rarer than in Resident Evil 4, only appearing in a few key cutscenes rather than one every 10 minutes or so. Unfortunately, that can also mean that it can lure you into a false sense of security then spring one on you when you aren't ready for it. With the HD re-releases, they fixed it where pressing the wrong button can be corrected now, which can make some things much, much easier and overall reduce the amount of deaths due to panic. | |

Downloadable Content: "Versus" mode, extra costumes, new characters in The Mercenaries Reunion, and a pair of bonus chapters. Later re-releases include them instead of being sold separately. | |

"Do you get all your ideas from comic book supervillains?" Chris, to Wesker, after the latter explains his Evil Plan. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The Majini to the Ganado, though the Plagas inside their bodies itself works quite differently than its predecessor for marketing purposes. Ricardo Irving is essentially a taller version of Ramon Salazar, with a cloaked female for a bodyguard rather than the Verdugos. | |

Phlebotinum Overload | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_f672a508 | comment |
Phlebotinum Overload: The duo do this to Wesker at the end of the game. It's downplayed, though, as this isn't what kills him: it just causes him a lot of pain, Tainted Veins and Vader Breath, and gradually weakens him, giving them slightly more of a chance against him in the fight. It eventually severely limits his Super-Speed, so his Uroboros form is a Clipped-Wing Angel, but he's still capable of attacking and nearly killing them, and it takes falling into a volcano and being shot in the head with two rockets to actually kill him. | |

Series Fauxnale | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: When you think about it, this seems like it was designed to be the finale of the series. Original protagonists Chris and Jill reunite (under some very unique circumstances) and series Big Bad Wesker finally takes direct action after several games of plotting from behind the scenes. The game also brings the Umbrella Corporation to a final end with the death of founder Oswell E. Spencer, and reveals the true origins and motives of the evil pharmaceutical company. In the end, only a few plot threads were still left hanging, mostly involving Sherry and Ada Wong, but otherwise, it ends on a much more hopeful note. And Subsequent games have either been interquels or had the feel of a post-script game (or a post-script interquel). | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: And, honestly, what would a Resident Evil game be without this trope? Ricardo Irving becomes a sea monster, Excella Gionne becomes some big mutant monster (she didn't decide to, it was forced on her), and yes, oh yes, Wesker and his mutated right arm (then left arm). | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Resident Evil 5 (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: In cutscenes, Chris's Beretta is amazing. He delivers the (almost) killing blow to the second boss (a gigantic, heavily armored bat), and in Chapter 3-3, he pulls off a headshot on a gunner while on a moving motorboat. Otherwise, the use of Action Commands avert this trope by letting the player pull some great moves... provided you Press X to Not Die. | |
