Resident Evil 2 Remake: How to Unlock 4th Survivor and Tofu Survivor Game Modes

Much like its original 1998 predecessor, the Resident Evil 2 remake includes a pair of special bonus modes. These modes allow players to control the enigmatic Umbrella agent Hunk and the loveable Tofu in a unique survival scenario. But how do you unlock the 4th Survivor (Hunk) and Tofu game modes? Read on to find out.

Unlocking Resident Evil 2’s 4th Survivor Mode

If you guessed that unlocking the 4th Survivor mode requires beating the main game, congrats because you guessed correctly. However, there’s a specific method of “beating” the main game which you must utilize to unlock the 4th Survivor mode.

At first, it looks as if Resident Evil 2’s main game is comprised of two different campaigns: Leon’s and Claire’s. However, there are technically four different campaigns split into normal and “second” scenarios. When you finish a normal scenario for the first time, you unlock the “second” scenario for the opposite character. The second scenario has slightly modified elements and is meant to follow up the events of the normal scenario.

To unlock 4th Survivor, you have to finish both a normal scenario and a second scenario. This essentially means you have to play through the game twice, once with each of the two default characters. Once you finish both the normal and second scenarios, you’ll unlock the 4th Survivor mode.

Unlocking Tofu Survivor

Again, it’s probably not too hard to guess how you unlock Tofu Survivor. All you have to do is complete 4th Survivor at least once (a task easier said than done). Tofu Survivor plays out similarly to 4th Survivor, only Tofu has a more limited weapon loadout than Hunk. If you can survive Resident Evil 2’s many dangers as Tofu, you are a true Resident Evil master.
