General Gameplay
General/Story Mode
Q: When exactly do I apply character effects/infected effects when exploring?
A: The exact order is as follows, as detailed on page 14 of the Mercenaries rulebook:
1) Announce that you are Exploring
2) Move any weapons that your character will be using from your hand to your play area. Each weapon
can only be used once, unless an effect states otherwise (CH-002 level 2 ability)
3) Pay the ammo requirement on the weapons you moved in step 2. To do this, you should have played
ammunition cards/action cards/etc prior to step 1 to generate ammo. Designate the amount of
ammo each weapon your character is using. That ammo is consumed once you move to step 4.
4) Total up the amount of damage your character is dealing by adding in the following order: Weapon
damage, Character damage, any existential effects.
5) If any weapons being used have effects or any effects that occur when your character explores occur
at this moment, in any order you wish.
6) Reveal the top card of the mansion.
7) If the top card of the mansion has a when revealed effect, apply that effect.
Q: If I am losing after exploring, but I have more explores, can I use them?
A: Yes you can.
Q: If I explore twice in a single instance and I reveal an infected I cant defeat and an item, can I take the item?
A: Yes you may.

Q: if an Infected and one of my effects have the same timing, which goes first?
A: The infected effect will always go first.
Versus Mode
Q: When someone is attacked, does the defender get to play any cards in response?
A: No they dont. The damage is dealt as normal from the attacker.
Page |5
Outbreak Mode
Q: Where exactly do the infection cards I get go?
A: They go in a separate pile next to your character. They are NOT attached.
Q: If there is 1 infected character and everyone else is dead, does the game end?
A: Yes it does.
Q: At the end of the game, the first tie-breaker states that you compare health of all surviving players to determine
the winner. Do infected characters count for this?
A: No they do not.

Skill System
Q: When using this in conjunction with Partner Mode, do both my characters get XP?
A: Yes they do, since they both explored.
Q: When using this in conjunction with Partner Mode, do my characters share the same XP pile, or have their own
separate pile?
A: They have their own separate pile.
Q: Can I put XP on a Skill that is less than what is required to activate it?
A: No you cannot.
Q: Once I have activated a skill by having the XP required on it, is that skill permanently activated?
A: It is as long as the required amount of XP is on it. If XP is removed from the Skill for any reason, then it "deactivates", and you are required to place XP on that skill during your turn until it has the required amount.

Q: Does this characters level 1 ability reduce the damage of infected characters?
A: No it does not. He only reduces Infected, not Infected Characters.
Q: Does this characters level 2 ability reduce the damage of infection cards?
A: No, it does not. It only reduces Weapon cards, not Infection cards.

Q: What if I use her level 2 ability and the top card is NOT the card type I named? Where does the card go?
A: It goes back on top of your Inventory, face down.
Q: Am I paying the 20 ammo on top of the weapon's normal cost for the +10 damage?
A: Yes you are, since you must pay cost on the weapon in order to use it before relevant character effects can even
be activated.

P a g e | 13
Q: If I am playing Jill CH-009 and use the Rocket Launcher WE-001 while I have my level 2 effect, do I have to
shuffle MA-012 Rocket Launcher Case back into the Mansion?
A: No, because the rocket launcher was never trashed due to Jill's effect.
P a g e | 14
Q: If I have Rebecca CH-010 at level 1, can I move both cards to another player's discard pile with Shattered
Memories AC-003's effect?
A: No you cannot. Since Rebecca's effect states "you can... it can only be used once per turn, meaning you can
only move 1 card.
Action
AC-002: Deadly Aim
Q: Does this effect in any way increase effect damage for weapons such as WE-001?
A: No it does not; it only increases the damage icon value.
Q: If I have Rebecca CH-010 at level 1, can I move both cards to another player's discard pile with Shattered
Memories AC-003's effect?
A: No you cannot. Since Rebecca's effect states "you can... it can only be used once per turn, meaning you can
only move 1 card.
P a g e | 15

A: As long as your character is being attacked (for instance, Versus Mode), then yes.
P a g e | 16
Q: Can I use this card during another players turn to block damage?
A: As long as your character is being attacked (for instance, Versus Mode), then yes.
Weapon
WE-005: Survival Knife
Q: Is there an easy way to add up the damage boost this item gives?
A: Yes there is! Just add 10 damage when you count each knife, since this weapon gives it +5 damage on top of the
combat knifes normal 5 damage. For example, if I was attacking with this knife and 4 combat knives, it would be 10
* 5, or 50 damage.
Q: Can I use 0 Ammo for the gatling gun and still use it?
A: Yes you can.
P a g e | 17
Mansion
MA-003: Zombie (Female)
Q: Can I target myself with this infected's effect?
A: Yes you can.
Q: If I defeat two of this infected in a single explore, can I target 1 player and have them skip two turns?
A: No you cannot, since in this case the "next turn" is the same turn. Applying this effect twice would only cause a
player to skip 1 turn.
P a g e | 18
Q: If I am playing Jill CH-009 and use the Rocket Launcher WE-001 while I have my level 2 effect, do I have to
shuffle MA-012 Rocket Launcher Case back into the Mansion?
A: No, because the rocket launcher was never trashed due to Jill's effect.
Item
IT-002: Yellow Herb

P a g e | 19
Q: if a player plays By Any Means Necessary AC-027 and chooses 0, do I draw a card via her second effect?
A: No you don't, since they didn't decrease their infection level by any amount.
CH-031: Zombie A

A: It is referring to this card.
CH-032: Zombie B

P a g e | 20
Action
AC-025: Wesker's Secret
Q: What happens if I don't reveal an "Antivirus" card?
A: All 4 of the cards you looked at go to the bottom of the mansion in a random order, as specified by the card
effect.
Weapon
WE-026: Standard Sidearm
Q: Does this weapon include any non-Item cards I buy?
A: Yes, because buying also causes you to "Gain" a card.
P a g e | 21
Mansion
MA-041: Tyrant T-002
Q: Does this card refer to a player's "Infection Level", or actual level when it says "...plus their current Level..."?
A: It is referring to the exploring character's actual level. For instance, if CH-008 Chris Redfield ran into this
infection and he had 0 decorations, he would gain 2 infection (1 + 1 level = 2).
Item
MA-055: Antivirus
Q: If I reveal this while exploring and the effect isn't applied to me, what happens?
A: You can choose to move it to the bottom or remove it from the game.
P a g e | 22
Q: If multiple infected with 40 or more health are revealed, does this characters effect activate multiple times?
A: Yes it does, since the effect does NOT use the word "can" in it.
P a g e | 23
Q: If I play this card, then continue discarding cards from my inventory but never discard a weapon, what happens?
A: You will eventually discard your entire inventory. You do not shuffle your discard pile back into your inventory
until you are forced to draw a card due to an effect.
AC-035: PDA
Q: If I have less than 3 cards in my Inventory, what do I do?
A: PDA says that you must look at up to the top 3, meaning 1 or 2 is viable as well. You can also look at 0 if you
wish. However, if you do look at any cards, you must trash 1 of them, per the card effect.
Q: Lets say I look at 3 cards and trash 1 of them. Can I move 1 to the bottom of my inventory and 1 to the top?
A: No, you must move both to either the top or the bottom in any order.
P a g e | 24
Q: What if I use AC-038 Mind Control and the only action in my opponents hand is this card?
A: You would only be able to apply the bonus icons twice, but wouldn't be able to attach the card, since you are
only applying the effect but do not control the actual card you are applying. This same ruling applies to any card
that requires you to "Trash it", "Attach it", or any other manipulation of a card you do not actually control.
Examples include AC-031 The Gathering Darkness, AC-030 Returned Favor, and any cards that would attach to your
partner (AC-013, AC-014, AC-020)
P a g e | 25
Q: If I use this Weapon with CH-002 Leon Kennedy's effect, can I use it twice and get +2 cards and +2 Actions?
A: Yes you can! CH-002 enables a player to use a weapon twice, meaning that as long as you can pay its ammo
requirement twice, you will get its effect twice.
WE-033: Punisher
Q: How does this Weapon work?
A: You play it, as normal, when you Explore, and it gives you the noted bonuses when you use it.
Q: If I use this Weapon with CH-002 Leon Kennedy's effect, can I use it twice and get +4 cards and +2 Actions?
A: Yes you can! CH-002 enables a player to use a weapon twice, meaning that as long as you can pay its ammo
requirement twice, you will get its effect twice.
Q: Is this cards effect always checked, or only during step 5 of the explore option?
A: It is only checked on Step 5 of the Explore option. If, during the course of the exploration, you lose your >10 card
inventory, you still keep the +20 Damage during the turn.
P a g e | 26
Q: Does this Weapon's effect last for every Explore during that turn?
A: Yes it does.
Q: Does this Weapon's effect lower the printed Damage or effect damage to 0, or both?
A: It will lower both effect and printed Damage to 0.
Mansion
MA-055: Bitores Mendez
Q: What if I defeat this Infected in hard more? Do I get two extra turns?
A: Yes you do. Per the hard mode rules, you apply the effect twice.
MA-056: Regenerator
Q: How does this card interact with Claire Redfield CH-020?
A: It doesn't. CH-020 gives itself damage while MA-056 lowers the damage on weapons that are being used.
MA-062: Novistador
Q: What if I am exploring multiple times and reveal this infected, but I have 3 or more Actions in my Play Area?
A: This means that any revealed infected cannot be defeated, since you must defeat all infected that are revealed
in order to get them all.
P a g e | 27
MA-067: Neptune
Q: Does the effect mean if my character is dealing 30 or more Damage or if they have 30 or more Damage on
them?
A: The effect will activate if the exploring character has 30 or more Damage on them.
MA-068: Hunter
Q: What happens if players are tied for highest decorations?
A: Nothing happens, since no player has the highest decoration count.
Q: What if the player's character with the most decorations is dead/permanently defeated (upside down)?
A: Anytime a character is upside down, its player and that character are considered unaffected and untargetable
by effects. The Hunter's effect would look at the current living character with the most decorations at this point.
Q: If I am playing Partner Mode and I have the most decorations, do both my characters get affected by the
Hunter's effect?
A: Yes they do, since the Hunter's text does not discriminate between main character or partner, only that you
control them and that you have the most decorations.
P a g e | 28
Event
MA-072: P.R.L. 412
Q: What happens if players are tied for lowest decorations?
A: Nothing happens since no player has the lowest. The P.R.L. is shuffled back into the Mansion as it states, and the
game continues as normal.
P a g e | 29
Q: If I'm playing a solo game with this character, do I get his effect?
A: Yes you do, because he always has the lowest decorations.
Q: Do "when X is revealed" effects happen when I look at the top of the Mansion?
A: No, since only you are looking and the card isn't specifically revealed.
Q: Does Barry take damage from the card you looked at if he cannot defeat it?
A: No he does not, since you are not Exploring, you are simply looking.
P a g e | 30
Q: I defeat 2 Infected during my turn, one with 25 health, the other with 30. How does Barry's effect work?
A: You would activate Barry's effect for each Infected. So you would do Barry's effect until you can longer look for
the 25 health Infected, and then you would do the same for the 30 health Infected.
Q: If I use WE-045 Custom Full-Bore Machine Gun and defeat an extra Infected with Barry's effect, do I gain 1 XP
because of the weapons effect?
A: No, you don't. WE-045 only grants you +1 XP for every instance of Exploring. So if you explore in two separate
instances, then you would get +2 XP.
Action
AC-045 Coup De Grce
Q: Lets say I play this Action with 5 XP on my character, the explore with WE-046 "Custom Lightning Hawk", and
remove 1 XP with WE-046's effect. Do I still get the bonus from this card?
A: AC-045 checks your XP the second it is played, and doesn't check after. In your example, you would still get the
bonus damage from AC-045.
Weapon
WE-045 Custom Full-Bore Machine Gun
Q: How does this effect work?
A: This gun will give you +1 XP for every instance of Exploration you perform during the turn. An "instance" of
exploring means going through all of the steps detailed on page 32 of the rulebook (announce, play weapons, pay
ammo req., add up damage, skill/character/weapon effects, and gain 1 XP).
P a g e | 31
Q: If I pair this weapon with SK-021 Weapon Master Lv. 3, do I get to double the damage I get for each XP I pay?
A: No, it simply allows you to apply the effect of WE-046 twice (basically no effect).
Mansion
MA-076 Base Majini (Gun)
Q: If this infected is revealed while I am exploring and removes 1 XP from a skill, causing it to be deactivated, can I
move XP onto that skill while I am exploring?
A: No you cannot. The only time you can move XP onto a skill is while your character is not exploring and during
your turn.
P a g e | 32
Q: I reveal MA-083 Los Ganados (Male) while Exploring with CH-051 Barry Burton and have two more copies
attached to me, making the revealed copies health 30. I defeat him, does Barry look at the top card of the Mansion
as if the defeated card's health was 30, or is it the printed value?
A: You look based on the health value of the card you defeated. In this instance, the health value of MA-083 was
30, so you would look as if you defeated an Infected with a health of 30.
MA-085 Adjule
Q: What exactly does this card's effect mean?
A: It means that, when it is revealed from the Mansion, if the Exploring Character is using 3 or more Weapons,
then Adjule deals 10 less Damage, meaning it would deal 10 Damage if you lose to it instead of its usual 20.
P a g e | 33
Ammunition
AM-006 Ammo x20
Q: What is the exact timing on this card's effect?
A: The moment you defeat an Infected, but before you finish Exploring.
Skills
SK-008 Luck LV. 2
Q: Can this skill negate the damage from anything?
A: yes it can, the source can be anything that is dealing damage to you.
Q: Let's say I am playing 3v1, and I'm on the 3 player Team. Do both of my Teammates get my activated skill's
effects?
A: Yes they would, as that was the intention of the card.
P a g e | 34
P a g e | 35
Q: Does copying the effect text of Russian Assault Rifle (WE-022) or Signature Special (WE-023) do anything?
A: Yes, it limits your ammunition to the indicated value, though applying it twice does nothing.
