3 years later and you're still doing god's work & helping the homies up when we fall down This goddamn factory level had me by the balls all day. I redid it like 10 times and could only manage a very high B rank, because for some reason, it didn't occur to me that keeping my combo going was important lol. After I got the 30 combo achievement I stopped giving a shit about combos in general honestly, but I guess it really does mean a lot during the mission to get an SSS rank smh. So thank you for enlightening my dumbass with this common knowledge. Also like I mentioned before, I know your walkthroughs are 3 years old, but on the off chance you still play re8 i'd like to give you a quality of life tip: When you sell stuff in Duke's purse, you can press the left arrow key button once to select ALL of the ammo bullets you own to sell. You don't have to keep pressing the right button to select them all like you did in the video
I literally watch these videos play by play as I'm going through it because it's so hard to memorize where 60 enemies are going to be lol. Would not have gotten even S rank without these guides
Neon slice I’m really late to this but your guides help me the most and this strategy has helped me for all the original stages until the harder versions to get SS rank and I’m still struggling on the factory but after getting 1.1 mill today because of this guide it’s at least let me sleep at night and not constantly think about how much I suck at this stage the only issue is killing every enemy but I’m slowly getting there and that makes me feel good enough so thank you for the helpful and quick guides for your own personal strats that make some of the crap a little easier and if they add more mercenaries type modes and they either have challenges or S ranks I’ll know who I’ll be going to thanks again Neon Slice
Aw thanks for the kind words! I'm glad my guides have helped you out and I will of course make more content like this and yeah hopefully we get more Mercenaries content with the DLC!
One thing I do is once I get down to less then 10 rounds I wont reload anymore to get some extra ammo. When you buy a magazine upgrade it gives you a full mag for free. Ideal is killing the last enemy with the last round and immediately swapping weapons. Sucks when you miss a shot tho lol
Thank you so much. I was watching another person try to explain it. He made jt so much harder then it had to be. And i was getting so angry on the factory. But you made it so easy! THANK YOU. Im subscribeing to you man. Keep up the good work!
@@NeonSlice thanks so much done that n village one so chuffed hopefully soon can finally get that laser to try ha ps find it cute how Cassandra n Daniela appear together lol or Cassandra n Bella I forgot Daniela my fav then Bella lol 😂
Your skills are truly impressive!!! I need someone like you to do share play with me, lol!!! I watch you, and think I can do it, no problem... Then reality kicks in! I definitely don't know how you remember all this???
You can do it! I have the experience of playing all of the RE games since I was 4 years old but this is truly an easy way to run the first 4 levels, it is totally possible!
Dude you are incredible I was stuck on this for more then a day I kept getting an S rank and was short for 20,000 points in the end I got SSS rank because of you. Thank you so much you are amazing
Actually, if you decided to go and take the blue orb down in that room across the long hallway, the lycan in that engine room will catch up to you and you can kill him and keep up the combo. Guaranteed, it's scripted as well.
In area 1, will the Soldats go down with two shotgun blasts to the legs? I always catch them at bad angles and I’m in the habit of leg shots now. Thanks for these guides btw I got the Plat trophy yesterday
Bro I was just attempting this except I forgot a mine for the big panzer enemy in stage 2 and I got lucky and killed a soldat near it with the combustion ability and it blew off his armor and I got the SSS😅. Thanks man
I'm having trouble with getting A rank in the factory, so I can't get Mad Village. I think it's the combos that are getting me on this and trying to get the lay of the map along with all the enemies locations.
Finally got SS but I guess I have to move faster. I've played these levels so many times and in Area 2, what you call the soldat room I still get confused in the power room where there's a blue orb one staircase leads you to the front of soldat hallway but the the stairs that take you behind the soldat hallway is better. I was always missing an enemy by going the wrong way. Plus it's a quicker route to furnace room to drop a mine or two for the Panzer Soldat.
I'm glad you managed to get SS Rank, hopefully the guides helped! Yeah, you have to do exactly as I do, position also is super important because it triggers spawns so if you decide to do anything different from me, you'll have a different outcome most likely.
Totally amazing! I have played this level for two days and get B rating every time. Tried V61 and sniper/shotgun combo. Anyways, the platinum trophy on xbox is only obtained by 1% of players. I will not be one of them. I don't even gradually improve. I get lost, I miss enemies and my combo breaks, and after 50 play throughs I don't come close to an A rating. It is very frustrating because you can get a combo of 30 and still show up at the goal with enemies missing. Some people miss 2, but I somehow miss about ten. There is no point for me to try anymore. Truly in awe you can do this so consistently. Makes me feel broken and useless though.
Got confused at the end, killed the panzer and fiery mobs, then frantically ran back for remaining Soldats. Thankfully, still kept the combo and made the SSS. Such a confusing layout. Especially the mobs that spawn in already done locations.
This one is so unforgiving. I Fucked up my combo once when a soldat had a tiny millimeter of health left and got an S rank. I was like 2k away from SS.
my only problem in this mode is how easily for u to get lost every stairs u find looks exactly the same one u left 1 min ago omg i missed only 1k to get an sss rank i never expected getting a platinum for RE8 was this damn hard even though i know all we need is 1 S on all stages but damn and im not on the hard mode yet and struggling
I tried this with the shotgun and I actually did a little better..I got a grade A and a new personal best..but unfortunately iam not SS yet..In due time I hope ..
I'm literally one or two shooting everything in this run and you still think that your method is better than mine. Please, run the game however you want but don't tell me that my methods are bad especially since im showing how easy it is and how I've gotten SSS on every possible map. Thanks for watching though, I appreciate it.
@@NeonSlice ummm I didn't mean your way is bad I just said the v61 is easier especially that it saves you time because is has a fast rate and you get about 500 points for every second you finish the area with, anyway your way is still awesome but just a bit slower, I tried it myself and try it if want to make you will get more points for finishing earlier
The SYG is only available in the "Normal" stages of Ethan's mercenaries. It is not available for anyone else and it's not available in the "Hard stages" like Factory 2 etc...
I have tried this dozens of times and keep falling short of like 20K from SS it's complete crap the shitty RNG in certain areas to cause you to lose your combo, lame setup IMHO. Good run through explanation I just keep falling short because of combo ending
Try the 1911 instead, fully customize its power and don't bother about ammo capacity. Or if you like the shotgun, try the base shotgun and invest in power and fire rate/reload speed Or you can try this: th-cam.com/video/g6EraZz89o8/w-d-xo.html
I hate the Factory. No matter who I play with or how many times I try it, I always get lost. Every time. In the main game I got lost plenty but in this mode I need the combos and getting lost just absolutely kills me. I don’t know why I can’t figure out the layout of the map.
@@NeonSlice Yeah I watch them. But I try to stay away from the pause and unpause just cuz it’s too easy that way. But I hear ya. Great vids man. You’re a pro.
This is giving me a migrane. The grafting I've done for this platinum to be stuck on the factory is a kick in the 🤐 play through your exact route. I've watched ya videos aba 4030102939x rehearsed them like my life depended on it and no not happening, I'll send you my PS5 you do it 🤪

Ha! I'm really glad you find these videos helpful 😄

Have to applaud the dedication. Making a series of shotgun clears just for those who had trouble with your handgun guides.
Always happy to help in any way I can
For a guy who isn’t confident with the handgun, I loved this shotgun guide!
You’re the only one who uploads them with detailed commentary too.
Haha, thats great, im glad i could help!
Hands down the best guide I’ve seen for this. Followed this first time and got SSS. 👑
Glad it helped!! Ive made tons! Thanks for watching ♡
I literally watch these videos play by play as I'm going through it because it's so hard to memorize where 60 enemies are going to be lol. Would not have gotten even S rank without these guides
You may want to pause the video as you're watching it and playing :)
Best of luck and I hope the rest of the guides are helpful!
I can’t thank you enough for guiding me through these. I only have the mad village to do now. It’s looks hard AF tho
Great to see that you made the shotgun only video the day itself it was asked for in the stream! Awesome video mate. Keep up the good work.
Dude you make it look easy great guide with great commentary 👍
I appreciate that!
Amazing guide, I got sss straight away no problems. Keep up the good work
Great guide hopefully people enjoy the shotgun runs
thanks dude this was so hard to do
No problem
This Guide Saved My Runs Thank You🙏

Awesome, best of luck!
Really good guides, thanks man.
Always happy to help, hope to see you again 😄
props to you for putting that music as your outro at the end, such nostalic song
I got SS rank on the first try using this guide. TYVM
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you in the next one 😄
Dude, you earned the sub and support, i had s ranks on all, but thanks to you I have them all on SSS, now im watching the shotgun runs for fun
Awesome thank you so much, I can't wait to bring you more guides and RE content!
Really struggled on this until I got magic magazine, agile and shotgun master finally together on a run and it was a piece of cake.
Alright!! After 4 attempted lemi runs, this one got me my SS. I was missing the 5000 lemi from the other stages, but still managed. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! I have shotgun playthroughs of all of the maps in case you need more help!

Finally got it ! Thanks bro ! Now to the mad village 🤣
You got this!
Actually, if you decided to go and take the blue orb down in that room across the long hallway, the lycan in that engine room will catch up to you and you can kill him and keep up the combo. Guaranteed, it's scripted as well.
Totally didnt click on this video after raging with the Lemi...
LEMI is amazing :(
In area 1, will the Soldats go down with two shotgun blasts to the legs? I always catch them at bad angles and I’m in the habit of leg shots now. Thanks for these guides btw I got the Plat trophy yesterday
They should go down with two leg shots if your shotgun is powerful enough like it is for me in the video
Pretty good guide 👍! Got S rank first try!
Awesome :) check the rest out!
@@NeonSlice Awesome thanks! I am as well, following them as I go along with each level unlock!
Good luck, you got this :)
Thank you . With your guide i manage to do it.
Amazing, super glad you were able to do it!
@@NeonSlice only 4 maps left to get the platinum. 😀
I hope my Part II guides help :) th-cam.com/play/PLhvS08ZzBR3fM4x2O5GzOlGgyhON2Q-Gm.html

Follow what I do in the video...
@@NeonSlice Yeah, but it's like 9 pm and I got work tomorrow. I'll definitely do it after I get off work though. Thank you for the tutorial.
You a pro bro haha for real im surprise how easy you make it look
I used shotgun cuz of my hands. I have neuropathy and can’t use the handgun properly.
So sorry to hear that but I'm so glad that I was able to make a guide that suits your needs. Hope it helps!
@@NeonSlice I got SSS on all, but now I’m screwed on the rest lol
@@Amor1990 Well, the DLC characters are pretty good, you should check out my guides for them here: th-cam.com/video/tGNwj4Xlruc/w-d-xo.html

Got confused at the end, killed the panzer and fiery mobs, then frantically ran back for remaining Soldats. Thankfully, still kept the combo and made the SSS. Such a confusing layout. Especially the mobs that spawn in already done locations.
7:25 I finished this part with almost exactly the same time as you on the first try while following this guide, it was like 14:20.1 or something. :o
Another ss thank you brother
My pleasure
@@NeonSlice on to mad village now
Thansk to you I just got a n sss
Awesome!
Thanks bro!
You're welcome bro
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
This one is so unforgiving. I Fucked up my combo once when a soldat had a tiny millimeter of health left and got an S rank. I was like 2k away from SS.
That's unfortunate, this shotgun strategy makes it really easy though
"That means I have extra Lemi" haha
Lol my bad
@@NeonSlice lol I didn't notice until I rewatched this. Thank you for these videos.
You make it look so easy lol
You can do it too
@@NeonSlice I did it 2 days ago it was harder with the sniper tbh I had to use the shotgun
Can you get that sss with the shotgun if I have the bonus money from the castle and the village?
Yes it will only be slightly harder
As long as its possible ill go for it, thanks man you're a genius
Thank you and I hope you get the rank that you need!
my only problem in this mode is how easily for u to get lost every stairs u find looks exactly the same one u left 1 min ago omg i missed only 1k to get an sss rank i never expected getting a platinum for RE8 was this damn hard even though i know all we need is 1 S on all stages but damn and im not on the hard mode yet and struggling

Oh my God.
I've been doing it wrong the entire damn time.
How were you doing it?
@@NeonSlice wrong.
Lost my combo at that last room but still got SSS
Congratulations!
yo bro try doing it by the v61 custom handgun it is much much easier
I'm literally one or two shooting everything in this run and you still think that your method is better than mine.
Please, run the game however you want but don't tell me that my methods are bad especially since im showing how easy it is and how I've gotten SSS on every possible map.

Got a B rank 😣😣 im doing exactly what you did but i keep missing up befote the sisters appearance
Maybe you're playing the hard stage of the Factory? I have a guide for the Factory II also.
@@NeonSlice hard stage? I don't think so i mean the shotgun run supposed to be easier than doing it by pistol 🥲
´hi! How do i unlock SYG-12 on the shop in mercenaries? I have beaten the game tho. tahnk you.
The SYG is only available in the "Normal" stages of Ethan's mercenaries. It is not available for anyone else and it's not available in the "Hard stages" like Factory 2 etc...
I can do the first stage with ease it's the second stage I keep getting turned around in
I have tried this dozens of times and keep falling short of like 20K from SS it's complete crap the shitty RNG in certain areas to cause you to lose your combo, lame setup IMHO. Good run through explanation I just keep falling short because of combo ending

Doing these is miserable lol. I got village SS at least.
Hope my guides help
The hardest thing about the factory is just finding all the enemies. this level is trash
Well, I hope my guide helps..
The layout of this level pisses me off
I hope the guide helps... You can use the starting shotgun if you can't afford the other ones
@@NeonSlice yeah thanks. You're guide helped me out a bunch because unlike the other levels this one is a maze
This is giving me a migrane. The grafting I've done for this platinum to be stuck on the factory is a kick in the 🤐 play through your exact route. I've watched ya videos aba 4030102939x rehearsed them like my life depended on it and no not happening, I'll send you my PS5 you do it 🤪
You can do this
Thanks for the video factory layout always been a bit confusing for me
No problem! It was confusing to me too when I first played it
