Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D


In the non-canon game Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Chris Redfield is one of the 3 starting characters, along with Jill Valentine and HUNK. His alternative costume is called Pilot Suit, which is unlocked by receiving 10 Medals or getting an SS-rank in Mission Level 1-3.

His weapon set is:
 * Handgun / M92F (20/20)
 * Shotgun / M37 (7/7)
 * Rifle / S75 (8/8)

His melee moves are:
 * Straight: When Chris injures an enemy in the face or stuns them, he punches straight and hits the enemy in front of him, sending them flying. This can also be seen when getting time bonuses.
 * Hook: When Chris injures an enemy in the arm and approaches from the front, he gives them a mean right-hook.
 * Kick: When Chris injures an enemy in the arm and approaches from the back, he kicks them so hard that they are sent forward a couple feet.
 * Uppercut: When Chris injures an enemy in the foot and approaches them from the front, he preforms an uppercut that sends the enemy flying back.
 * Neckbreaker: When Chris injures an enemy in the foot and approaches them from the back, he reaches around the targets head and twists it, resulting in an instant kill.
 * Stomp: When Chris walks up to a downed enemy, he lifts his foot and stomps really hard on chest or head (depending on the enemy position).
 * Haymaker: When Chris injures a stunned powerful enemy or uses the skill Reversal, which lets the character gain access to more powerful Melee Attacks when vitality is low, and approaches from the front, he does a straight but walks forward a bit before. This results in an instant-kill for most weaker enemies and will take a HUGE chunk of health out of a powerful one.
 * Backhand: When Chris injures a stunned powerful enemy or uses the skill Reversal, which lets the character gain access to more powerful Melee Attacks when vitality is low, and approaches from the back, he walks forwards a bit and slams the back of his left hand on the enemy.This results in an instant-kill for most weaker enemies and will take a HUGE chunk of health out of a powerful one.

Make note that most of his melee moves can hit multiple people, as they possess high range and usually throw enemies away with strong force. Chris is pretty solid with taking damage and recovering vitality. Pilot Chris is even more solid, taking in only 90% of the damage and having a 330 recovery rate.
