We mentioned this previously, but if you're playing on anything other than Professional where auto-saves don't exist, remember to never use the 'continue' or 'load game' options on the game over screen - the in-game timer will continue to run and include each failed attempt, meaning it could only take a few failures to take you from S+ pace to making the top grade impossible. We've seen various videos of this being used to insta-kill even some bosses and mini-bosses, and while it does take a moment to set the trap, that's a small price to pay for skipping entire fights. This is particularly useful against enemies that spawn in fixed locations with cutscene triggers - if you know where they appear, you can load that spot up with mines to nuke them the moment they come to life. If you have the Bolt Thrower and some attachable mines (plus a few spare bolts you don't mind losing), you can set up a strong enemy's instant demise before they even appear. Resident Evil 4 time-saving tricks Pre-setting mines Naturally, this will include spoilers of things like items, locations, and enemies. Let's get into it with a few general ones that can work all over the game, before breaking down some location-specific ones in chronological order. You'll probably want to play through the game 'properly' first - as noted in our Resident Evil 4 review, it's really rather good - but these tricks and optimisations will certainly help you get your run times down for those S+ grades.

Some of these will require specific items or weapons so may not be possible on all types of playthrough, but there's plenty of time to be saved here all the same. You'll be doing multiple playthroughs and unlocking all of the Resi 4 bonus weapons along the way, so any time-saving trick you can apply on several runs will save a fair chunk of time in the long term. Original story: If you're working through the Resident Evil 4 achievements, you'll likely have seen that some of them ask you to complete the game on various settings with an S+ grade, for which you need to hit the credits pretty darn fast. In addition, the Handcannon bonus weapon can now be unlocked via The Mercenaries mode, granting you a magnum that can be upgraded to have infinite ammo without needing to do the taxing original unlock method of beating a fresh Professional difficulty run without using the other bonus weapons. This means you could have infinite ammo on the bonus weapons - which do not void the S+ rank requirement - as early as Chapter 2 when you first meet the Merchant, rather than having to make it all the way to Chapter 7 when the tickets finally become available in-game.

Update: New paid Resident Evil 4 DLC makes S+ ranks even easier, with Exclusive Upgrade Tickets now available for purchase in the Xbox store. Here are a few ways you can shave minutes from your runs to make those a fair bit more manageable.
