Mercs Chris Redfield (Safari) Equipment

The following is a list of all the weapons, equipment, and supplies Chris Redfield, Safari Outfit, carries at the start of the match.

Safari Chris receives two weapons (handgun and shotgun), two rocket launchers, and some ammunition.

Safari Chris Equipment Guide - Handgun, Shotgun, Rocket Launchers x2

Safari Chris's rocket launchers act like aces in the hole, meant to be used in a pinch or at just the right moment to take out a big boss, or numerous baddies, for large point bonuses.

Safari Chris's Shotgun and Handgun are both improvements upon standard, BSAA Chris. Chris BSAA does not have to reload as frequently, but Safari Chris's extra punch comes in handy against stronger enemies.

Similar to Chris BSAA, Safari Chris excels at crowd control. Taking down waves of enemies is easy with the M3 Shotgun, and SIG P229 Handgun works well for setting up melee kills for time bonuses.

Mercenaries High Score Hints and Tips for Chris Safari Outfit

Chris Redfield, Safari Outfit, stands out from the Mercs crowd entirely because of the two rocket launchers.

BSAA Chris has difficulty taking on boss characters and stronger Majini like the Reaper, but Safari Chris has much less of a problem with greater power in both his primary weapons, and two rocket launchers capable of killing almost anything in a single shot.

It's good to keep in mind, however, that the two rocket launchers are single-shot and do not come back when used (no, Majini do not drop Rocket Launchers randomly). In addition, they can be risky to use, since one random Majini getting in the way can cause an accidental suicide and ruin an entire run.

The best way to use a Rocket Launcher is on boss characters after establishing a large combo. Safari Chris can combo pretty well with the M3 Shotgun, and after a large combo is built up, taking out a boss character with a Rocket Launcher is quick and easy and can result in a huge point bonus.

When only 1-2 Majini are attacking at once, using Chris's SIG P229 Handgun can conserve Shotgun shells and set up melee strikes to gain +5 time bonuses.

Chris Redfield (Safari) in Co-op play

As aforementioned, Safari Chris's rocket launchers can be difficult to use, as Majini sometimes have a tendency to jump right out in front of a rocket before its fired. Having a partner stand by to shoot off on-coming Majini can give Safari Chris the time he needs to set up his attack.

Also, an extra hand can keep a combo bonus going while Chris aims with a Rocket Launcher to finish off a boss character for a huge point bonus.

Safari Chris pairs well with himself, his BSAA costume, and Tribal Sheva. He actually pairs well with almost anyone, but those three are his best pairs.

Safari Chris and BSAA Chris work well together due to the ammo sharing, and two shotguns at a time can rack up combos fast. Tribal Sheva works great with Safari Chris as well, because her longbow can keep a good rhythm going for combos, but also, the arrows are powerful enough to keep boss characters at bay long enough to set up a Rocket Launcher kill.

Coordinating combos and rocket launcher strikes is the best way to get a high score with Safari Chris.

RE5 Mercenaries Chris Redfield (Safari) Conclusion

Safari Chris stands out not just for his ridiculous outfit, but because of his two rocket launchers. Scoring large combo bonuses with his Shotgun is fairly simple, and finishing off a boss Majini with a rocket launcher at just the right time can score a huge point bonus. However, since he is limited to two rocket launchers and cannot get any more from ammo drops, Safari Chris significantly loses strength after using both of them up.
