Craving the Chicago Sweeper? Your NG+ Ticket to Shredtown
Ah, the Chicago Sweeper. The bane of Ganado shins, the harbinger of bullet-riddled bliss. It's a weapon that screams, "I'm here to party, and by party, I mean unleash a torrent of lead that would make Rambo himself weep." But can you snag this glorious machine gun on a breezy New Game Plus (NG+) run? Buckle up, Leon S. Kennedy wannabes, because we're about to dive into the hilarious and slightly sweaty world of Resident Evil 4 unlockables.
The Good News: You CAN Unleash the Sweeper on NG+!
That's right, folks! You don't have to subject yourself to a whole new playthrough from scratch (unless you're into that kind of punishment). As long as you can beat Professional difficulty on NG+ with an A rank, that beautiful monstrosity of a weapon is all yours. Think of it as a reward for your previous zombie-slaying heroics.
But hold on to your Stetsons, partners, because there's a slight snag...
The Not-So-Good News: A-Rank Ain't No Cakewalk (Especially with Ganados on the Menu)
Here's the thing: Professional difficulty is no walk in the park. It's like a regular park, but with fewer pigeons and more chainsaw-wielding lunatics. You'll need some serious skills (and maybe a healthy dose of cheese) to snag that A-rank. Here's what you're up against:
- Stingier Enemies: Those Ganados are gonna be tighter with their Pesetas than Scrooge McDuck with his gold. Get ready to strategize your ammo usage like a pro.
- The Clock's Ticking: Professional mode slaps you with a 7-hour time limit to complete the game. That means no time for sightseeing (unless you find a particularly scenic zombie horde, of course).
- Ashley: The (Possible) Liability: Let's face it, Ashley can be a bit of a… delicate flower. One wrong move and she's a Ganado chew toy. You'll need to keep her safe while also dodging Krauser's suplexes and dodging your own existential dread.
So, Can You Do It?
Absolutely! With enough practice, cunning, and maybe a dash of desperation, that Chicago Sweeper can be yours. Here are some tips to help you on your quest:
- Befriend the Merchant: This guy is your lifeline. Stock up on ammo, grenades, and that fancy rocket launcher you've been eyeing (it shreds through Professional like a hot knife through butter).
- Master the Art of the Headshot: Every bullet counts, so aim for those noggins. It's a gruesome business, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures (and lots of brain splatter).
- Embrace the Cheese: There's no shame in using some well-known strategies to cheese your way through the game. Look up some guides online, they'll be your best friend (besides that rocket launcher, of course).
Remember, the journey to the Chicago Sweeper is just as important as the weapon itself. It's a test of your mettle, a hilarious dance with danger, and a guaranteed story for your grandkids (assuming you survive the Ganado apocalypse). So, grab your weapons, hone your skills, and get ready to unleash a torrent of lead that would make even the Chicago mob blush.
