Resident Evil 4 Remake Tips On Making Professional S+ Rank Easy 

Just finished 100%'ing the game so I will also try to leave some thoughts. 1. You honestly don't need bonus weapons, a lot of your run will be running past enemies and avoiding combat all together. Good pathing and quick decision making will always be better than wasting time mowing down hordes. You also get an achievement for not using them HOWEVER you CAN sell them, and its free money so use it. 2. Get the bolt action rifle ASAP, its basically the best weapon in the game in terms of affordability, and it shreds through key sections like El Gigante, Cabin, and Bella Sisters (3-4 head shots kills one give or take a crit, and you only need to kill the one with the green skirt). Upgrade the power to level 4 early, and going down from Power 3, 2, 2. 3. Abuse Flash Bangs, you get the craft right before the garador section and it's honestly the best purchase other than the rifle you will make all game. Running through hordes, and letting them grab Ashley is a completely valid strat, one flash bang makes them drop her, and if you are quick enough to de-aggro she will NASCAR snap to your location. ABUSE THIS MECHANIC 4. Learn the skips. They are easy. Obviously I'm not gonna type them all out but you can save yourself from an hour+ of game time loss by just sitting down for a bit and practicing them. I will however list them so you know what to look up. Mendez fight skip Garrador Skip Depths Wall Clip Sewer Skip Turret Skip Regenerator Door Skips (easiest one imo) Dufflebag Ashley skip Don't be intimidated by how technical they look, anyone can perform these skips with a little practice. 5. Don't Save until you get to De Lago, if your feeling yourself, right before the El Gigante fight. This will give you a considerable cushion to save primarily at each major skip location with maybe a save or 2 to spare. 6. If you're grabbing what treasures are right near you and optimizing your selling, you will be able to afford a Rocket Launcher for the Verdugo fight, Krauser fight AND Saddler, all get one shot by it. 7. YOU HAVE TIME, don't feel rushed, if you want to go out of your way to do a request or 2 go ahead, just make sure if you want to reset the clock to where you saved for whatever reason you need to fully EXIT the game, if you reload, the time carries over. 8. Save the golden egg you get in the lake section for Salazar, it deals 70% of his health. One sniper round as he is aggrod,, into golden egg in full Broken Butterfly unload will one round him with no counter attack. 9. You can ditch Ashley in the church before cabin if you climb up the ladder she drops, crouch against the wall with the ladder on your left and quickturn+spam interact button, this will clip you through the wall and let Ashley be safe for the remainder of the chapter. It's also very easy to do, Some general game knowledge Ashley is pretty safe most of the time, only things that will down her are stray hits, her getting grabbed is not a big deal, you have plenty of time to free her. First Village section is 15 kills to end it. Cabin section is 14 kills/5 kills/Boss Double Garador room can be cheesed by shooting one of the bells waiting for them to clump on it and raining grenades on them. Always use rocket launcher on Verdugo, stalling him out or killing him normally is a huge time loss. Rocket Launcher for Krauser2 is not necessary but still way easier and affordable. Upgrade your knife to max power before Krauser1, then sell it and re buy, you get most of your money back and it's worth it. Backing up into a wall while scoped and looking all the way down will make the Regenerators and Ganado unable to hit you when you are waiting for the key card to get upgraded, this works for both upgrades, they might however give you a greeting slap when you go for the keycard so be mindful of that. Louis AI is dumb as shit, never assume he will help you, he won't. Just ignore that he is there. On top of this, be WARY of the Novi sections, IMO the most inconsistent and dangerous enemies in the game. Bolt Action, Starter Pistol, Riot Gun, Broken Butter Fly and then later killer7 will be your best go to weapons, these mixed with a healthy crafting of flash bangs will be all you need. TMP has it's uses in a high level speedrun, but for your average person, it's just not consistent enough. 10. Notable good save spots Right before De Lago or El Gigante, I reccomend El Gigante as your first save since everything before El Gigante is a Joke minus the village. Before Cabin, Before Garador Door Skip(this gives you a file where you can practice that and water hall pathing) Before the second El Gigante Gaunlet where you need to lower the first initial draw bridge Before the maze After the Ashley Section (bug sections are brutal) Start of Lous Pair up chapter Before first Krauser fight Before Salazar Outside the regenerator lab Chapter 14 Start Chapter 15 Start No saves needed for chapter 16, its the easiest chapter in the game hands down, sell everything and get a rocket launcher and laugh. That list gives you 3 additional saves to work with, so if there is a section that is wooping your ass in particular you have some emergency saves to fall back on. Nothing wrong with using Armor Ashley or Infinite Ammo though, I did it for my no heal/no merchant/handgun knife run. However their is an achievement to beat Professional without bonus weapons, and if you want to, you can easily kill 2 birds with one flash bang. TLDR; I believe in you King/Queen, never give up. EDIT: As of the new patch all skips have been removed, however you can roll back your game to the previous patch which is what all the speedrunners are doing if you still want access to door skips/wall clips.

The thing with Ashley being taken is not a glitch, if your too far from her in any section of the game they will take her, she still has to be relatively close to you for ganados to drop her

I found out that If you throw a grenade in the middle of the stairs when you’re at the house (chapter 5), you’ll get like four more wood pieces to cover up the windows 😅

Some basic tips I have from my many runs 1. It is absolutely worth taking your time in Village to stock up on treasures and doing all the merchant requests. Village is by far the hardest part of the run and where you're likely to reset the most. Once you get the infinite sweeper at the start of Castle, the run is pretty much smooth sailing from there. 2. For the mut, I highly recommend clearing out the village before heading over to Mendez' house. Then using the typewriter at the house, pull out the hand cannon from storage and use that on the mut. Using grenades and flashes to stun him helps A LOT. I wait for his tentacles to pop out then flash him, dump the entire hand cannon into him, flash again then finish off with a shotgun/rifle. After that I just send the cannon back to storage. You can skip the mut and get the remaining spinel in the castle, however I'm not sure if you'll be able to get enough spinel before going into water hall which SUCKS without the infinite sweeper. 3. Sell your shotgun for the riot gun right before fighting Big Cheese. It helps a lot. His first phase is really easy, run up top and simply sprint left/right to avoid his slam (the attack you can parry). Evade his swipe and jump down for his big spin. His second phase is a little tricky but when he swings down, try get behind him and dump riot rounds into his back. He will drop fast. 4. Verdugo can be stun locked with the Sweeper. After freezing him the first time, he's scripted to run away, but the 2nd time you freeze him, keep the trigger down and stay aimed at his head. He should be stun locked and unable to move which trivialises the fight. 5. You can use flash grenades to stun one of the double El Gigantes and drop them into the lava immediately 6. It's definitely worth back tracking to the throne room to get a golden egg for the Salazar fight. Throw it at his head and he will be chunked for like 70% of his health. Then you can dump a magnum into his head and finish him off very easily. 7. Before fighting Saddler, sell your Sweeper or whatever and get a rocket launcher. It will one shot him. Bonus points for picking up a Killer7 to dump for his second phase. It doesn't make much of a difference but it's fun. 8. Flashes are busted and should be used often. I throw one at the 2nd crank in water hall and it stuns pretty much all the archers. Definitely worth buying the crafting recipe (I also recommend the heavy grenade recipe just in case you don't have any for the AA gun) 9. Familiarise yourself with treasure locations, it is literally free money that will help out a lot.

Use Golden egg against salazar. You can find a second one in the throne room. This way you can save that 160K towards weapon upgrades.

Great info! Some Additional Tips: - no need for a rocket launcher against Salazar. Get the gold egg from the chicken island and throw it in his mouth to deal 70% of his HP and stagger him. - a flash also works to stop the cultists from using the lever that drops the bridge if you are out of/conserving grenades. - when you get to the first sun/moon lever puzzles, you can cheese open the first gate upstairs by destroying the counterweight outside it. At a steep angle you can shoot a pixel of it, otherwise toss a grenade thru the gate toward the brazier to destroy it. This can be repeated in the spire past it. This skips the entire climb up to the top where you meet the armored El gigante. - Chicago sweeper is fantastic but has horrible aim. Keeping a handgun or buying a rifle can help situationaly. - having a cheat sheet pulled up for puzzle solutions will save a lot of time. - if you still need more time save, you can buy a rocket launcher to destroy the mine rocks and skip the room full of ganados and chainsaw peeps leading to the dynamite.

For the Salazar statue you don’t need to throw a grenade, it has a weak spot on the back of the head that you can shoot with just 1 bullet and save the grenade also for the Salazar boss fight you don’t need the rpg because he is extremely vulnerable to gold eggs 1 gold egg takes about 70% of his health so 2 will insta kill him

I put over 100 hours into the game and still couldn't make it to Chapter 4 before having to break down and save on Professional. Ultimately, my first save was in Chapter 2 at the first merchant, right before the canyon area. I finished the game with S+ on Professional with only 13 saves, and if you're having a really hard time with it, don't be afraid to save a bit early like I did. My second save was at the church before heading over to the fish farm. If you're a total badass, then you do you, but these parts were *really* rough for me and merited those saves. You will probably be able to handle one or more chapters without saving after you reach the castle and get the Chicago Sweeper with the infinite ammo exclusive from racking up side quest spinels. The game is much, much, MUCH easier once you're past the Village. It's still a pain, but compared to the Village, it's a joke. Try to go fast while in the castle, and grab all the treasures you can without having to side-track too much. I reached the Island with 1 hour and 10 minutes remaining to finish the game, and that was *scary*. I did pull it off, but I used a rocket launcher on Krauser and Saddler, and my hands were shaking the entire time I was rushing the Island. If you reach the Castle after about 2 hours of play time, you should still be able to finish the game in time, but yeah, S+ Professional suuuuuucks.

for the house part with Luis, blocking the two windows to the left and standing at the top of the stairs and aiming at the window helps a lot. give you a nice little shooting range too so all the enemies are straight ahead of you and you dont have to be running around getting blindsided. then when Luis says to go upstairs, you go downstairs lol then when the bull dude comes in, throw some grenades at him, couple shotgun blasts, and a flashbang with a stab should do it.

I believe this video was made before the release of the mercenaries mode and the exclusive tickets that are purchasable but if you get an S on any character (Leon in one Luis in another etc.) you unlock the handcannon. If you then purchase just 1 exclusive ticket for I think 3 euro on professional mode you can immediately pickup the handcannon making the village part easy and then once you get to the merchant in Chapter 2-3 you can give it infinite ammo. Made the playthrough honestly a bit of a joke so if you're down for the challenge you can do it the classic way.

For me it was just trial and error, I saved every 2 chapters and if I didn't like the time I got ending a chapter I start over, a teacher once told me struggling is good because that is the first step to learning. So I just pushed till I got the S+ rank, probably lost some hairs but was worth it in the end

Doing the No healing and Pistol/ Knife only run on NG+ assisted, getting pretty much all loot, and selling 95% of all health, ammo and treasure items was enough to get the Infinite Rocket on my 2nd run of the game. GL and have fun with it!👍

I would actually suggest saving in the village heavily. Castle is very easy, because as soon as you enter, you can buy the upgrade for Sweeper. After that I just skipped saving utill the Verdugo. My reasoning for this, is that All village encounters are quite a pain without good weapons. and you will need to run past most enemies, and that can get dicey.

This really gave me a lot of confidence actually go for it at some point soon! Still doing a lot of the preparation work

little tip for the salazar statue skip, there’s a little red spot on the back of his head that you can shoot to blow it up and save a grenade for later use.

The savage mutt is easily handled with the knife. Just use the stab attack not the slash. He will jump around and dodge just get back on him with the knife stabs. It keeps him stun locked and will take about a minute to kill.

Fantastic video! Will definitely be using yours tips for the S+

For the mutt quest, lay explosive mines at the iron gates before heading into the house. The dog spawns there so the mines can catch it. I used 3 and it only took a couple rifle shots in the village square to put it down

Tip: save time by getting the sweeper and armour Ashley in one run. Professional in less than 7 hours. No need for hardcore mode if you wanna save time. You can unlock the most stuff in 1 run by doing this, just use the infinite launcher as the video says

I’m practicing for Pro by playing Hardcore and going for an S+. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to crawl my way through the village and by chapter 6, I have a total time of 1:45:00. I managed to gather 30 spinels and I did every request except for killing the rats (I completely forgot). There were a few deaths where I accidentally loaded a checkpoint instead of quitting out. I probably could’ve saved 10 or 20 minutes. But outside of that, I’m at the castle gates with an infinite sweeper and I’m ready to kick some ass! I will say, I’ve never had a more stressful time playing than when I’m on the clock, but it’s fun. Reminds me of Dead Rising. I feel like a speed runner lol.

very in-depth guide, finally! thank you my guy🤙

with two golden eggs Ramon can be insta-killed so if you can hold on to them it can save you the rocket launcher and you can use it for the verdugo.

Fun fact with the Bella sisters, if you run to the bridge while they are chasing you, they will stop, stare and turn around, and leave. This works because you can Bait and hit and then follow and hit and restart w/out worrying about taking any damage from them And fun fact about Salazar, if you get the golden egg in Salazars throne room and hit him with it, it will take out 70% of his health and then you just need to pop him like crazy 2 golden eggs kills him

I also noticed that when you quit after Leon died, go to main story then continue instead of Load game. It will bring you back to the last Auto Save of the current game you’re playing. It doesn’t add up your total play time on that mode and doesn’t add up the number of deaths too.

have to say ur guide is really simple but useful. Just most of the guide out there didn't mention about A.I RNG and how the special enemy like Dr Salvador can teleport and cut u off guard in professional difficulty. Also a lots of guides forgot to mention that Ashley Section where u need to pull 4 levers to unlock the door, In Hardcore and Professional its different strats, without the armor on Hardcore run Ashley might get stuck in 2 of those 4 levers and end up cornered

Another good tip, while not recommended, is to purchase an exclusive ticket from the DLC store and use it right away on the Chicago Sweeper the moment you meet the merchant. You can use it in any new save, so you don’t have to do all of the merchant’s tasks, to save enough time.

Thank you for the tips, it would help me a lot

Brilliant video. You earned my sub, Stranger!

With the new update of Mercenaries you can now purchase upgrade tickets for roughly 3 pounds, or 2 or more for a slightly higher price. I am unaware of the Dollar equivalent but, this will seriously help people save time since you can upgrade either the Chicago Sweeper, Primal Knfe, Handcannon(You can now obtain it by getting a S rank with any character on all stages of Mercenaries, my preference was Villager Krauser, Castle Luis and Island Leon although I suspect Krauser and Hunk would also do the trick.) This will essentially allow you to ignore spinals and save time, it’ll also help with the initial village battle and cabin section. For those of you who don’t want to purchase a microtransaction(Which is understandable.) then you can load a new game and focus on spinals to upgrade either the Sweeper or Handcannon, however you’ll only be able to do this at chapter 7 as opposed to chapter 2 via purchasing one.

Thank you friend. Liked and subscribed. Loving this remake! ❤❤❤🎉

Damn good video man it will help me a lot!!

If you’re in assisted mode, on your last save of the game, you can buy as many first aid sprays, store them and sell them in new Game plus professional mode for full value if you have the rhinoceros beetle charm. This makes getting the infinite rocket launcher much easier to attain.

For the Salazar statue head, while climbing the stairs you can actually just shoot a red spot in the back of the head and blow it up to save the Grenade

Now thats what i call a turn around moment in life

These tips are very useful, thank you.

This is the best guide I’ve seen by a longshot

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but you can skip the section where you need collect tnt to blast rocks leading to the double el gigante fight if you blast the boulder with the rocket launcher - I assume it may work with a large grenade or two as well!

I just got the Infinite Ammo Rocket Launcher on my 3rd playthrough. It took me a bit longer cause I ended up upgrading the Red9, but I had the discount charm. Lucked out. Going for the Ashley Knight Armor and Chicago Sweeper next. Not sure if I care about getting the Handcannon tbh. I would like Cat Ears, though. Honestly, this remake is way harder than the original. New Game Plus was a joke on original, but Hardcore was still challenging for me even with upgraded health, shotgun and pistol.

One of the best skips is the door glitch which cuts out the whole wrecking ball/ sewer section. I’m not sure how it lines up with using the saves though. Playing on non professional you can save right before it and reload if the glitch takes too long to pull off.

Just so everyone knows the sisters will freeze when you lead them to the typewriter, they will evetually go back to the arena but if you have the base hand cannon or the first riffle you can kill them quickly, then get the crank and use a flash to open the door, second just use the merchant to skip Méndez, it's really easy to pull, took me 30 seconds, also about the mut, I know you can kill it with a rocket by shooting at the door it stares at you from, but I don't know if you can get a normal one on that chapter, I heard you can, by that point I already had the sniper damage at max so I known you should have the money to buy one.

Thanks for the video, it gave a lot of helpful advice. I'm on my first ng+ round on professional, going for the Chicago. After that it's HC for the armor and then the cat ears :)

Great video, thanks for putting it together :)

Great info, Thankyou!

Thank you for this video!

Very nice tips thank you! But... I am still not sure on a couple of tips? When you mention not be able to use some bonus weapons' for the S+ ranking in professional, which bonus weapons are you not allowed to use ? And how many hours do I need to finish the game ? Another question I have, when playing on harcore mode to get Ashley armor, do I start a new game , or can I play on NG+ and use the infinite rocket launcher? Thank you again

flashbang helps alot agains the wild dog part!

For the wall with the wrecking ball, called crane by Erza, you can use ANY weapon to damage the wall. Not just grenades. So the Chicago sweeper works to do the same thing. I found this out using Matilda on a full run I did for the knives and guns only challenge.

my watch later is flooded w re4 content. thank you creators for making it seem accessible for us average players

just started play re4 remake and omg! i didnt know about the whole quit out and load from the main menu thing with the time. i didnt realize my time kept going up till i was almost done with the game and i beat it in 5 hours 40 minutes. just out of the S rank. oh freakin well!!

I found out the hard you way have to quit and then load the game. I knew you couldn't continue but didn't know you had to quit then load. Drove me nuts

@14:08 you can also shoot the back of the statues head where there’s the red box to blow it up

My tip to make the Savage Mutt quest easier is to shoot it with whatever weapon until it's back splits, then toss a flash to get a ton of damage and the first stab easy, then shoot just hammer it with rounds.

I got the infinite rocket launcher on my first hardcore playthrough and learned the hard way when to switch to the handcannon because I kept hitting Ashley with it by mistake. In the water hall, I ended up equipping her with sunglasses and spamming flash grenades until the ganados were far enough away that the handcannon wouldn't come near her. Now I have Armor Ashley, I can't wait to just not worry.

That explains why I had so many more confines and run time… I always clicked lid game thinking it wouldn’t count…

The Ramon statue has an explosive barrel in its head so just pop it right as your going up the stairs.

Great guide, thank you!

What I've noticed in this game is if you shoot the legs off the enemies, their Plagas don't pop out.

You can no clip through the wall at the top of the ladder in the church to leave Ashley inside and not have to worry about her

Don't fight the dog to have spinels, instead do the blue medalions at castle entrance it gives you enough to buy the tcket and have infinite chicago to begin the castle, less risky and you save ammo for the house defense. The Chicago is all you need, i did S+ with it, and the Stingray for regeneradors, with the Chicago you don't need shotgun, pistol, just sell it all, and use the money to upgrade the Chicago, once it deals 2,00 eadh hits, ennemies are a joke. All you need is Chicago, Knife and flash grenades, rocket launch for Verdugo, gold egg Salazar, rocket Krauser out, Rocket Saddler dont worry you will have enough money. Use any known method to cheese the game any working tactics flash grenades on Gigante's plagas etc... Use Ashley's armor, so you never have to worry about her. Keep a nice amount of grenades for the twin garrador room, you lure them by making sound, you grenade these basterds, and you shoot the plages in their backs like a mad man, they die surprisingly fast with the Chicago. Use the laser pass tricks in the first and last Island sections, see tutorials. The Chicago deals tremendous amount of damage per seconds, don't hesitate to upgrade it to the max, and even better it stagger ennemies like hell. You don't need any other main weapon to do S+.

In my S+ run I just skipped the mutt and saved myself from mental torture and did a few extra castle quests. I still made it in under 5 hours so it's still doable. It's all downhill after you get infinite ammo for the chicago.

I spit out my coffee when bro blew the viper away with the magnum

you forgot to mention the primal knife will make runs easy too since it never breaks you get infinite counters

Great Vid!!

Great walkthrough brother. One note is that Ashley can die with armored suit on if they get to her in the crane. Unfortunate experience of mine lol!

Handcanon can be unlocked by ranking S on 3 stages in mercenaries compared to what the challenge says.

I highly recommend saving every 2-3 chapters, after chapter 4ish. A lot of memorising and trying.

If you use the bolt thrower with attachable mines against the mutt you can stun and stab him until it dies, I only needed six mines

You don't need to spawn the merchant quest dog enemy before you deal with the Ganados. Just kill everyone in the area and then go spawn the dog. It will be a one on one fight in the main village and a lot easier to deal with

The best tip is that time is added when you load after death without quitting. Shit ruined my hardcore s+ i thought i was just slow but it makes so much sense now goddammit

I think it got easier now when you can just buy tickets...so you can skip the side quests early in the game, cause I wouldn't be killing that mutt again, having the cabin fight straight after the mutt was near impossible for me.

You can also use the handcannon you get from the mercenary mode i believe.

Now with Mercenaries you can unlock the Handcannon easily. Might be a good alternative to the Tommy Gun since it too has infinite ammo

Great stuff. On my second run, saving up for the rocket launcher. Luckily I have the discount charm.

Getting the S+ on professional mode will give you extreme migraines and improper sleep, after getting s+, you got severe mild stroke

Cheers dude, most helpful, 😎👍👍

Thanks this helped a lot

haha love that, ''live em, love em , learn em''... subbed 999th

Great vid!🤙

Thank you !

for better or worse, you can now skip getting the spinels for about 5 bucks, and you can get the handcanon in mercernearies.

"It costs a lotta PEETAHS!"

There's just no way I'm ever pulling any of this off. Standard difficulty made me feel like a complete beginner who's never played a video game before, and I can't even reliably get TO the village on professional. It's an incredible game, I'm just garbage at it lol.

Having the “boss” wolf before the cabin really caught me out .. I didn’t have much supplies in the first place but I wasted so much on the wolf ..

Dude you’re Big mega Brain , like thank you

very helpful guide! one question, cant people just use the exclusive ticket dlc from the steam store now for the typewriter upgrade? lol

the clock tower, the statue has a small keg in the back of his head, you can shoot that with the pistol and destroy it easily.

Up to the mut is all that matters. Once you have the sweeper fully upgrade it and your golden. Maybe get one extra durability in a knife for first krouser fight.

If you’ve already completed side quests before and amhot the achievements etc out of it, do you have to do it all again in the same play through to get the s+ rank or am I good? I’d like to just run through the game as fast as possible skipping the b.s and try to get the best time.

There is a away to load the game without going all the way to the main menu. You can have another save and the load that one and then reload the run your on and it resets

Only horde what u need and move as quickly as u can to the next chapter.. Do not engage if don't have to.. Try to avoid damage and collect enough money to upgrade only what u need..

the giant in chapter 4 can also be downed with a flashbang

6:42 The 30 one is there too though lol 9:03 You can take out the rest of the enemies before you trigger the dog.

Instead of using the RPG for Salazar, it might be better to use it either for the Verdugo fight or to skip the TNT section. Arguably I think it might be better to use it on Verdugo since killing him early removes the time needed to wait for the elevator to come down, which may save more time than skipping the entire TNT section compared to just running to get to the TNT with the infinite chicago sweeper. As for Salazar, I think it may be better to just save the two golden eggs for him and throw it at him. And ofc if you don't mind doing glitches just to get the S+, you can always use the sniper glitch to skip the entire wrecking ball section and rooms before it after reuniting with Ashley. It saves having to use two extra heavy grenades which you can use for the AA turret.

All things aside it's cute how you call Mendez - Menendez. That CoD memory talking, right? 😁

Just wanted to pass this tip for fighting the savage mutt, explosive bolts to down to knife stab and repeat for around 5 or 7 cycles worked wonders for me, cheap resource cost if you have the recipes

I'd say, to make more money - do not remove other weapon from the case. Cos game will give the ammo for the weapon you have in the inventory. This ammo could be sold then - for a good fee. Basically, I can say I sold enough ammo to buy a rocket launcher. Been keeping SG, Skull Shaker and stingray un my inventory. Also, don't quite understant why tommy gun ? For me magnum is more feasable weapon.

I laughed when you called the currency pitas. But great guide!

Awesome tips. Man, I wish cheat codes exist. I just don’t have the time to keep playing over and over again. :-(

I honestly have no idea how speed runners fee comfortable not saving before the fish boss. It seems completely random to me if I'll win or not. Sometimes it'll just drag me into debris with no way to dodge. Like it'll just suddenly turn and I won't have anywhere near enough time to turn (and yes, I'm always holding right or left, but sometimes it suddenly changes it's mind and turns, so I hit the debris anyway.

Now that the handcannon is unlockable in Mercenaries, is it a better option than the Sweeper? I've got both, so which one should I use?
