Side modes

Ada's campaign: five chapters (two village, one castle, two island), with saves and the Merchant but no weapon upgrades. You start with the Blacktail, Ada's shotgun, 30 rounds, 15 shells and a spray; the hookshot reaches places Leon cannot. Finishing it unlocks the Chicago Typewriter for the main game and the Special 2 costumes (armoured Ashley). Each chapter unlocks a part of Ada's Report.

Separate Ways treasures

The same treasures as the main game, in different places. Combinables come complete within a chapter: mask and gems in 1, Beerstein in 2, lynx and stones in 4, lamp and eyes in 5.

One run through the island as Ada: collect the five Plaga samples and bring them to the communications tower. No Merchant, no saves. Loadout: Punisher (9), TMP (100), semi-auto rifle (12) with scope, 30 rounds, 80 TMP, 5 rifle, one grenade and a spray. Enemies: soldiers, four hammer soldiers, three J.J.s (bay outpost, waste disposal area and systems room) and Krauser at the tower entry, who carries the fifth sample and flees once hurt. Reward: the Chicago Typewriter in Separate Ways.

The five samples

1. 1 Freezer: cabinet in the north-east room
2. 2 Main operating room: floor next to the dead body on the east side
3. 3 Storage room: silver briefcase in the south-west corner
