Assignment: Ada

"Mission Objective: Collect 5 Plaga Samples and head towards the rendevous checkpoint!" -Mission Objective stated at the start of the mission.

Assignment: Ada, also known as Ada the Spy in some regions, is a minigame featured in Resident Evil 4 after completing the game.

Gameplay
The game begins where Ada first goes onto the island. She must find five samples of the Las Plagas parasite, that are scattered across the island. They all are also guarded by Ganado, who attempt to kill the player. Some J.J.'s appear in some parts. Jack Krauser, is the boss after collecting all the samples. He randomly attacks the player while walking down a walk way around the building where Leon contacts for a helicopter. This minigame is not technically canon to the Resident Evil 4 storyline, as Ada never wears a military uniform. She only wears a red dress and only found one sample of the Las Plagas parasite. However, it is interesting to note that the final scene in the minigame has one of the biggest allusions to Resident Evil 5 in the game, where Albert Wesker talks about "Significant changes in our world."

Tips

 * Ada has no knife, so try and conserve ammo, and to open multiple crates, line it up and shoot them in one bullet from the Punisher.
 * However, Ada does possess a knife in the Wii version and the subsequent releases of Resident Evil 4.
 * Ada doesn't have a lot of health, so try to take out enemies before they strike you and always have a health item on you.
 * Try to not get carried away with the Punisher's high rate of fire.
 * Single-fire the TMP when possible to conserve ammo.
 * Using The TMP full-auto is best saved to be used against shielded militia in close range, or multiple enemies, due to its high fire rate and high bullet consumption.
 * Ada's melee attacks, Fan Kick and Back Kick, are particularly useful, due to your lack of a knife, and need to conserve ammo.
 * Try to avoid J.J.s whenever possible. They're relatively easy to flank in most presented situations, and not worth wasting ammo over, unless you are in dire need of a First Aid Spray or a Hand Grenade.
 * Krauser is really easy to beat if you do this correctly. When he appears, dodge his attacks and run to the door you originally came from. Then equip your sniper rifle. Reenter the room where Krauser is. He will charge at you from the far end of the walkway, using his plaga arm as a shield. Try and snipe his knees before he reaches you. if you do, when he staggers, try and shoot either his head or upper chest. Repeat that until he reaches you. Just before he reaches you, re-enter that door again, reload and re-enter Krauser's room again. He spawns at the very end of the catwalk. Repeat what's above until he's dead. Grenades are more risky, due to their range, but also work well too if you can time it right. On the Wii, Xbox Live and PSN versions, due this same tactic, but try knifing him when he drops to his knee. This is very useful in speed running, as it only takes a few knifes to defeat him.
 * Although Ada reports that Krauser was killed in the completion of the minigame, his body wasn't present after the flash grenade detonated, implying that he had in fact survived and escaped. Oddly, he somehow managed to survive the blast despite his plaga being exposed. This also makes Assignment Ada the only instance where Krauser survives.

Trivia

 * In the minigame, Ada wears a military-style uniform as opposed to her red dress as in the main game. The minigame's plot involves Ada collecting a number of plaga samples, as opposed to simply collecting the single control plaga sample like in the main game. As such, this minigame is non-canon.
 * Interestingly, in the Assignment Ada credits, Leon is seen wearing his alternate costume, and Ada wearing her red dress, both of which cannot happen at the same time in the main game.
 * However, this is her red dress from Mercenaries, and not Separate Ways and the main game, which is impossible for her to wear outside of Mercenaries.
