Resident Evil 4 Cheats
for PlayStation 2

Unlock PRL 412

Clear Leon's Story on Professional difficulty to unlock the PRL 412 weapon. It has two settings -- stun and kill (just like Star Trek) which you may determine by holding or tapping the fire button. It has infinite ammunition.

Unlock Thompson Gun

To unlock the Thompson Submachinegun, clear Leon's story mode (any difficulty) and complete Ada's story mode (Separate Ways). Purchase it from the Roma merchant when playing a new game plus.




Ada can also have the weapon available for her own side-story mission (Assignment Ada) simply simply clearing that particular mode once. Again, speak with the Roma merchant to access it.

Unlockable Costumes And Modes

Clear the main game (any difficulty) to unlock:

• Professional Difficulty


• Mercenaries Challenge


• Separate Ways Mini-Campaign


• Alternate costumes for Leon, Ashley, and Ada Wong

Easter Egg: Gangster Pose

In order to do this trick you need to first pick Leon's gangster outfit, and then equip the Chicago Typewriter machinegun. Reload the machinegun a few times in a row and Leon will pose.

Easter Egg

Leon may sit in the red throne after the laser hallway by inspecting it. Nothing interesting occurs, but it makes for an interesting screenshot.
