Resident Evil 6 - Piers, No Hope Difficulty S Rank Playthrough, Solo, New Game, Deathless

This is my No Hope difficulty S rank playthrough of RE6. I initially planned to do just 4 videos (Leon, Chris, Jake & Ada), but once I was done with that I started staring at the blank rows under No Hope difficulty in the Records menu and thought that it needs to be fixed, so here I am once more, to finish the No Hope difficulty S rank project once and for all. While the S rank actually allows you to die at least twice per chapter, that's where the self-imposed challenge part comes in. I think it's a bit silly that you can die (multiple times even) and still get the best rank so I wanted to do it deathless. RE6 is full of cheap instant deaths and the devs know it too, otherwise the ranking system wouldn't allow for at least 2 deaths per chapter. I have the 'Auto Action Button'-setting enabled to avoid having to deal with instant deaths caused by not pressing the right buttons in the ridiculously short timeframes that the game sometimes gives. I don't consider it cheating because I firmly believe that QTE instant deaths shouldn't exist in the first place. No Hope difficulty is my preferred way of playing the game. None of the skills are available (some skills make the game way too easy), and the game becomes so stingy with its resource drops that there are many occasions where you absolutely must strategize and utilize melee to the best of your ability or else you will not have enough resources for the occasions where the enemy/enemies must be defeated. I think No Hope makes RE6 genuinely intense and fun, despite the game's various flaws. Each campaign in this playthrough is also done in a fresh New Game, so I won't have access to anything that you would in NG+. I will stick to the already established method of playing through the campaigns in the game's suggested order, so for the remaining three that means Helena first, then Piers and finally Sherry. This is part 2 of 3 (or 6 of 7). I find this particular campaign to be the hardest one without a doubt, but Piers' Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle does give you an advantage that Chris doesn't have, making some segments a little easier. I made an exception for this game and included the cutscenes because it just felt odd to omit them in a game like this with multiple campaigns featuring intersecting story moments. The S rank also allows for a rather normal style of play and doesn't force you to play the game in any specific way - there's nothing like a very strict time limit or extremely small room for error, which is another reason why I felt that having the focus only on gameplay didn't quite fit for this one. About the ranking system: to achieve the S rank in a chapter, you must achieve the highest rank of A in all 4 categories: Accuracy, Deaths, Clear Time & Enemies Killed. The A rank requirement for accuracy is always 70%, but for the other 3 categories it varies by chapter. My results and the A rank requirements for each category: Chapter 1 Accuracy - 80.8% (A rank: 70%) Deaths - 0 (max. 2) Clear Time - 43m 30s (under 1h 20m) Enemies Killed - 113 (min. 70) Chapter 2 Accuracy - 72.9% (min. 70%) Deaths - 0 (max. 2) Clear Time - 1h 20m 31s (under 1h 30m) Enemies Killed - 127 (min. 70) Chapter 3 Accuracy - 77.4% (min. 70%) Deaths - 0 (max. 2) Clear Time - 1h 13m 29s (under 1h 25m) Enemies Killed - 81 (min. 55) Chapter 4 Accuracy - 80.2% (min. 70%) Deaths - 0 (max. 2) Clear Time - 54m 57s (under 1h 15m) Enemies Killed - 79 (min. 55) Chapter 5 Accuracy - 83.3% (min. 70%) Deaths - 0 (max. 3) Clear Time - 53m 13s (under 1h 20m) Enemies Killed - 53 (min. 40) Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:44 Chapter 1 17:56 Ch.1 - Rooftops 29:31 Ch.1 - Tenement 44:15 Chapter 2 1:02:33 Ch.2 - The Bridge 1:15:05 Ch.2 - Front of City Hall 1:36:55 Ch.2 - City Hall 1:53:55 Chapter 3 2:09:25 Ch.3 - BOSS: Attack Helicopter (Rooftop) 2:21:29 Ch.3 - BOSS: Iluzija 2:35:23 Ch.3 - Stilt Housing Area 2:39:54 Ch.3 - BOSS: Attack Helicopter (Seafood Restaurant) 2:46:11 Ch.3 - Medical Research Center 2:54:32 Ch.3 - Main Thoroughfare 3:02:47 Chapter 4 3:22:07 Ch.4 - Aircraft Carrier Bridge 3:35:40 Ch.4 - Forward Hanger 3:48:34 Ch.4 - Airspace over Aircraft Carrier 3:57:31 Chapter 5 4:22:18 Ch.5 - BOSS: Haos (1st fight) 4:29:01 Ch.5 - BOSS: Haos (2nd & final fight) 4:44:24 Ending & Results
