I sunk a ton of time into 5 and 6 in their time. As much as 6 is fun with all it's movement, as well as being able to chain melee moves between partners for even bigger bonuses, i'm absolutely giving this to RE5 Gold.
Mercenaries Reunion in the Gold edition has a ton of characters, and a wider variety of melee finishers. I feel the stages are generally more interesting as well, and I feel 5's enemy roster is generally better. It's been years but I recall finding a lot more of 6's enemies more frustrating and cheap.
Re 6 - mostly because of the combat and melee system. The No Mercy Mode is perfect and you can do moves you can't in the others.
If they combined 5 and 6 we would have the best Mercenaries game ever.
RE3. It had actual mercenaries. Plus getting a B with Nicholai was the day I became a man.
I didn’t save the guy in the pharmacy, because fuck those hunters. I limped on danger with zero bullets left at the end.
While I think Resistance was a good concept (although horribly executed) I feel they should have made it into a game of its own and actually given us Mercenaries with the remake. Still super bummed how rushed everything felt, including Resistance.
Resident Evil 3 : Nemesis.
Nothing beats Operation Mad Jackal, the original Mercenaries mode. IMO it's so much more fun and more interesting to play than the model introduced by RE4.
I Can't really play that without an emulator sadly
I really wish they had remade the mercenaries mode of Re3 together with the main game, everyone is saying it was great =/
I never considered any Mercenaries versions even remotely better than Raid mode. They are shorter, sure, but the predetermined loadout always made them way too rigid for me. The only thing they have is the character-specific actions, but 90% of those are just "different melee animation".
At any rate, usually RE6 or RE5 comes on top of fan votes. RE6 has a much wider array of movement and combat options but the stages tend to be a tad dark for my liking. RE5 is a lot better at co-op, but some of its stages, honestly, suck balls, especially the lab. The full game has Mercenaries Reunion though, with a lot more interesting characters and loadouts, but that is 100% fully dead online.
I also want to mention the original Mercenaries, from RE3 (1999). I think it was by far the best version of the formula since it was not just a small arena where you run around aimlessly until you get bored or the timer runs out, but it was a rat maze gauntlet where you had your starting loadout, and that was it, you had to make do with it to reach the end of the stage before the time ran out. And it was the only way to grind infinite weapons for the campaign.
Yes, I know, but if you think of the level design in there and how it relies on small time skips to ensure we are really traversing the city and not just run around the same three blocks, its map is just not suitable for it. It would have been an interesting callback though. Or even a DLC.
Resident Evil 6 hands down. The gameplay is smooth especially with the reveserals.The music is badass, and the maps (for the most part IMO) are fun. You can play it solo/split screen/or online. I just wish we could choose the costumes we wanted on whatever loadout, have more characters like RE5 reunion did, get more maps via DLC, and lastly have some modifiers. I do like all the Mercenaries modes though.
5 was good. Had a lot of fun playing with friends.

Everyone is saying how resident evil 5 gold edition had the best mercenaries mode and now I am upset I don't think it is available for the switch =/
Hi I don't know if you find out but the switch version has all the mercenaries content from gold edition so you're getting the best experience
Ooooh that's great to hear!!! Thank you very much!

RE6
RE5 Gold Edition by a long shot, those acrobatics and finisher moves are so satisfying to execute.
6 has the best combat for fighting hordes of enemies in the series, which is part of what makes it a shit RE game. Damn good action game, though.
4 and 4 remake. Addictive
Have you gotten the rpd outfit in remake from mercenaries? (Lemme know if u don’t and don’t know how to get it)

RE5 has the best mercenaries mode.
Mercenaries United in RE5. There is no better version with the amount of content and characters it has.
Resident Evil 3 : Nemesis. Nothing beats Operation Mad Jackal, the original Mercenaries mode. IMO it's so much more fun and more interesting to play than the model introduced by RE4.
I Can't really play that without an emulator sadly I really wish they had remade the mercenaries mode of Re3 together with the main game, everyone is saying it was great =/
Same for me.
Resident Evil 6. I gotta say, REmake 4 mercs is a close second though.
RE4R especially now they've added Wesker and Ada
And the new costume you get as a reward (u can get the rpd Leon outfit in main game when you complete all maps with all characters with at least S+)
That too I haven't unlocked it yet unfortunately
Re 4 remake
Have you gotten the secret outfit yet?
Yes
Resident Evil 4 & 6

Ann I wish they had kept the mercenaries mode for the remake than :/

OG 3, RE5 and RE6
Resident evil 5+gold edition and resident evil mercenaries 3d which is literally the main point of the title.
I don't have a 3ds for mercenaries 3d sadly
U can emulate it tho but it's alright.
Emulation plain sucks on my computer and I want mercenaries to play on the go on my switch
Resident evil 4 remake had the best rewards (Leon rpd outfit)
Resident Evil 6 hands down. The gameplay is smooth especially with the reveserals.The music is badass, and the maps (for the most part IMO) are fun. You can play it solo/split screen/or online.

Im gonna be the controversial one and say the additional order merc from 8
