Our Resident Evil 4 unlockables guide takes a look at the different items that can be yours once you finish the game. All of these can be acquired via the main menu -> Bonus Content -> Extra Content Shop, where each selection costs Completion Points (i.e., what you earn when you complete challenges/achievements in the campaign). You may then equip these by clicking Main Story -> Extras.
Ranks – Campaign completion scoring system
Additionally, some rewards are further subdivided based on game modes and clear rankings (usually dependent on completion time). As such, you can’t get everything in one go. Here’s the gist:
| Rank/Score | Assisted Difficulty | Standard Difficulty | Hardcore Difficulty | Professional Difficulty– Unlocked after beating the game once on any of the default difficulty modes |
| S+– New Game+ not allowed | Four hours | Five hours | Five and a half hours | Five and a half hours15 saves or fewer |
| S | Four hours | Five hours | Five and a half hours | Five and a half hours |
| A | 15 hours | 12 hours | 10 hours | 7 hours |
For instance, if you’re attempting an S+ rank run, then you’ll need to be very familiar with the game already. Knowing when to avoid enemies, and being able to clear the campaign as fast as possible would be the end goal. Here are some other related tidbits when it comes to S+ rank:
New Game+ isn’t allowed, so you have to start from scratch and upgrade weapons as you progress.Bonus weapons are allowed (if you’ve already unlocked them). You’ll find them in the storage when you interact with a typewriter.The only exception is the Infinite Rocket Launcher, as this can only be purchased during a New Game+ run.

Infinite Rocket Launcher – Start a New Game+ run (any difficulty). The Merchant will sell this for two million pesetas, so make sure you’ve saved up a bit and can sell a lot of treasures/upgraded weapons.
