Barry Burton/gameplay

Barry Burton appears in Resident Evil 5's The Mercenaries Reunion and in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.

The Mercenaries Reunion
Barry Burton is a playable character in a version of Resident Evil 5's "The Mercenaries" mode entitled "Mercenaries Reunion". Barry can be obtained by either purchasing Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, or downloading Lost in Nightmares as a DLC. Barry's outfit matches his S.T.A.R.S. uniform.

While not having any fully automatic weapons such as a sub-machine gun or otherwise, Barry's handgun is powerful enough to take most enemies down with 3 or less shots. His magnum is also very effective with one or two shots exploding the Big Man Majini. His rifle is typical: powerful but must be aimed through a scope, which limits peripheral vision.

Barry comes with the following weapons:
 * 1) The Dragunov SVD Sniper rifle;
 * 2) Barry's custom Beretta 92F Custom 'Samurai Edge' Handgun (with 30 loaded shots);
 * 3) A Smith & Wesson Model 29.

Barry's custom Colt Anaconda will only be used when he does a melee attack named "Gun Bash". Also, when Barry performs the move where he pulls out his custom weapon, entitled "Miranda Rights," he will shout two of his famous lines. They will be either "I have THIS!" or "What IS this?!?". Barry will also say this when he uses a proximity mine. Albeit in a more serious tone. Barry is also the only character in both Mercenaries modes who uses a gun for a melee attack.

Reflecting his raw strength from the games, Barry has extremely powerful melee moves, to make up for a lack of crowd control weapons. He is also the only character who can perform a combo finisher on a Chainsaw Majini or both types of Executioner Majini, if another character had already performed a melee attack on said enemy.

The Mercenaries 3D
In the non-canon game Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Barry is one of the one of the unlockable characters, unlocked by B rank on mission 4-5. Barry's alternative costume is called Patriotic, unlocked by getting 20 medals.

His weapon set is: His melee attacks are:
 * Handgun / Samurai Edge (9/9)
 * Magnum / M500 (5/0)
 * Rifle / Dragunov (4/4)
 * Headbutt: When Barry shoots an enemy in the head and approaches them, he grabs them and headbutts them with the side of his head. Unlike most head stun melees this one doesn't throw the enemy away, but they rather fall on the ground beneath Barry. This move usually explodes the Majini's head.
 * Barry Sandwich: When Barry shoots an enemy in the arm and approaches from the front, he uses the back of his hand to punch the enemy. This attack can also hit enemies close to Barry as well.
 * Knee: When Barry shoots an enemy in the arm and approaches from the back, he will knee his opponent in the back.
 * Burton Boot: When Barry shoots an enemy in the leg and approaches from the front, he kicks them with the entire top side of his boot and sends them flying back a few feet. This attacks also hits enemies next to Barry and the body can also hit enemies as it's flying.
 * Gun Bash: When Barry shoots an enemy in the leg and approaches from the back, he pulls his revolver from his chest holster and pistol whips the enemy. Has a high chance of preventing Plagas from eroding (but not a 100% chance).
 * Miranda Rights: When Barry approaches a downed enemy, he draws his revolver from his chest holster and shoots the enemy. While rare, this attack also hits enemies standing on top of the downed target as well.
 * Hurricane: When Barry approaches a powerful stunned enemy (like Gatling Gun Majini) or uses the skill Reversal (only in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D), which gives the player access to more powerful moves when Vitality is low, Barry spins counter-clockwise twice and punches all enemies around him up to four times. This attacks instantly kills regular enemies and takes a HUGE chunk out of bosses, and could effectively kill them if all four punches connect if they have taken enough damage previously. Barry has a decent damage in-take to healing rate, taking a bit less damage in exchange for a little less healing when wearing his patriotic costume.
