In the Separate Ways DLC, just like the Resident Evil 4 Remake, players have the opportunity to earn various ranks depending on how well they perform during the game. These ranks are determined by analyzing the players' total playtime and save progress, and are classified into three main tiers, ranging from A to S+.
However, players frequently find themselves questioning the specific requirements needed to achieve these ranks, as well as the rewards that come along with them. To dispel any confusion, this guide will provide a comprehensive explanation on how to attain each rank tier in Separate Ways, as well as outlining the corresponding prizes.
Rank Requirements for All Difficulties
In the Separate Ways DLC, players' ranks are determined based on their completion time. After successfully completing the final chapter, players will receive an A, S, or S+ rank depending on how quickly they finished the game. In specific difficulty settings, the number of typewriters used may also be taken into account for the ranking assessment. The following table displays the rank requirements in the expansion of the RE4 Remake:
Rank | Assisted | Standard | Hardcore | Professional |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | 5 hours | 4 hours | 4 hours | 4 hours |
S | 1.5 hours | 2 hours | 2.5 hours | 2.5 hours |
S+ | 1.5h (NG) | 2h (NG) | 2.5h (NG) | 2.5h (NG) with only 10 saves |
To obtain an S+ Rank in the Separate Ways DLC, players need to finish the game within 90 minutes on a fresh save file, instead of utilizing the New Game Plus mode.
When engaging in the Professional difficulty, the time restriction for obtaining an S+ Rank increases to under 150 minutes. However, players must limit their typewriter usage to a maximum of ten times to accomplish this objective.
Professional mode is not available in the first playthrough; players will need to beat the game once to unlock this difficulty.
Rank Rewards for All Difficulties
As Ranks are associated with CP Challenges in Separate Ways, they provide players with cosmetics, weapons, and points. The DLC's remarkable rank rewards include the Cat Set, Countess Set, and the Bear Hat. The table below presents all remaining prizes.
Rank | Reward |
---|---|
A | Chicago Sweeper Cute Bear Earring Green Hair |
S+ | Chicken Hat Cat Set Bear Hat |
The expansion features completion rewards as well. Here’s what players will earn simply for beating all Separate Ways Chapters:
Ada's Dress Apparel
Ada’s Undercover Apparel
Luis’s Vest
Wesker’s Suit
Resident Evil 4 Remake: Separate Ways DLC is available now for PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
