Craving Chaos? How to Unleash the Chicago Sweeper in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Ah, the Chicago Typewriter. The bane of Ganado, the dream of any self-respecting merchant-exploiting Leon S. Kennedy. But wait a hot minute, you say, this ain't your grandpappy's Resident Evil 4! Fear not, fellow zombie-slayer, because the spirit of the Chicago Typewriter lives on, reincarnated as the aptly named Chicago Sweeper.
Now, before you go all John Wick on some villagers (we don't endorse unlicensed bioterrorism disposal), here's the down-low on how to get your hands on this bullet-spewing beast.
Step 1: Channel Your Inner Speed Demon (or Not)
Earning the Chicago Sweeper is all about conquering the game on Professional difficulty and snagging that sweet, sweet A-rank. That means beating the game in under 7 hours. Now, some folks might scoff at this mountain of a challenge. But hey, if you can dodge flaming monks and dodgeball Ganados like a pro, this might be a cakewalk (well, a slightly moldy cakewalk).
For the rest of us mere mortals, there's a New Game Plus option. This lets you carry over all your sweet upgrades and weapons from a previous playthrough. Translation: mow down enemies with the Infinite Rocket Launcher (because why not?), then mop up the remaining goo with your newly acquired Sweeper.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to exploit the system a little. Ashley's armor upgrade makes her invincible, freeing you to focus on that precious timer.
Step 2: Upgrading Your Sweeper from Dustbuster to Doomsday Device
Just because you unlocked the Sweeper doesn't mean it's ready to unleash its full potential. You gotta pump some iron... or, well, some gun upgrades. Luckily, the merchant's always happy to separate you from your hard-earned Pesetas in exchange for bigger clips and faster firing.
Once you've maxed out the Sweeper's upgrades, you'll unlock the option to purchase the "Unlimited Ammo" perk. Now we're talking! Rain down lead on everything that moves without a single worried glance at your ammo counter.
Alternatively: You can snag an "Exclusive Upgrade Ticket" through gameplay or, ahem, with a little real-world cash. This fancy ticket lets you bypass the whole upgrade grind and jump straight to infinite ammo glory. But hey, where's the satisfaction in that?
Unleash the Mayhem!
There you have it! With the Chicago Sweeper in your arsenal, the remaining villagers of Europe won't stand a chance (although, a part of you might feel a twinge of guilt for turning the game into easy mode). Remember, with great power comes great responsibility... to look incredibly cool while eliminating biohazards.
So grab your shades, crank up the action music, and get ready to rewrite the definition of "crowd control." Just try not to go too overboard on the celebratory gunfire – you might attract unwanted attention from, well, you know, other biohazards. Happy hunting!
