The Winters’ Expansion has brought three new playable characters and two new stages to Resident Evil Village’s The Mercenaries mode. These new stages include “The Bloody Village” and “The Bloody River,” while the new characters include Chris Redfield, Alcina Dimitrescu, and the complex villain, Karl Heisenberg. However, Karl Heisenberg is not immediately unlocked in the game’s challenge mode, as the privilege to play as the sledgehammer wielding, telekinetic, Soldat army building antagonist of Resident Evil Village requires gamers to meet certain ranks in the new The Mercenaries Additional Orders DLC stages. However, this guide will demonstrate how to unlock Karl Heisenberg, allowing you to turn the many enemies in The Mercenaries into “fresh American ground beef.”
The Mercenaries Rank Requirements to Unlock Karl Heisenberg
In order to unlock Karl Heisenberg as a character in The Mercenaries Additional Orders, players must achieve an “A” Rank or above in all normal stages of Resident Evil Village’s base game, as well as The Winters’ Expansion with either Ethan Winters or Chris Redfield. These stages include The Village, The Castle, The Factory, and The Mad Village of the base game version of Resident Evil Village, as well as The Bloody Village and The Bloody River stages of The Winters’ Expansion. In order to achieve these high ranks in The Mercenaries, players must be knowledgeable about the various maps, plan the equipment to use for their loadouts, maintain long combos, and finish the stages as quickly as possible.
