Raid Mode (Revelations 2)

Raid Mode is a minigame that is part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It is based on the minigame of the same name from Resident Evil: Revelations but heavily expanded upon. It is a type of "run and gun" game where players in either single plater or co-op fight through short stages to reach a goal and level up their characters and equipment.

The minigame itself exists as a scenario where the Overseer is testing the new Red Queen Alpha program on the player who is a test guinea-pig for it.

Gameplay
Raid Mode takes place in a hub room and the player walks around and interacts with the set pieces to customize their equipment and go on missions. The game is played by selecting a character "skin", setting up equipment, skill sets, then entering a Mission. The basic goal of each Mission is to locate the complete coin at the end and use the melee prompt on it. After completing a Mission, the player(s) receives the "gold" (only shown as a gold coin symbol) and EXP they've earned in the stage, vinyls, custom parts, and Medallions if they fulfilled any requirements. After earning so much EXP, the character being played will level up and earn Skill Points which can be used to upgrade their skills.

Upon starting Raid Mode for the first time, a short cutscene plays with the Overseer announces you are a test subject for the Red Queen Alpha. From here, you must go to the Customize mannequin and set up a character, then play then you are prompted “Deploy from the Red Door” and play the first mission. The player starts off Raid Mode with 10000 gold, a Handgun MPM Lv. 1 and MP-AB50 Lv.1.

Control wise, the partner command button is replaced with a shift key used for Gestures the player can customize for character. Enemies will have health bars over their heads along with their Level and icons showing power ups they may have. The amount of damage you do is also now displayed as a number.

Characters
A character "skin" is selected for the test subject at the mannequin. There are 15 available characters. Some characters need to be unlocked by filling certain requirements, some are added with each episode purchase, and some are separate DLC. Each character has their own set of beginning weapon, passive skills, and active skills slots. And each character has access to a different set of skills and unlocks each skill and more weapon slots at set levels unique to them. Each character also has their own animations for their melee attacks.

Level
Each character has their own level which grows as they earn EXP. The max level is 100. With each level up, that character earns 5 Skill Points which can be used to level up skills. After reaching level 100, the player can still earn skill points for that character after so much more EXP (but they will not continue to level up).

When not in use, characters will eventually be given a "rested" status and be able to earn bonus EXP for their next mission.
