The requirements to obtain an S+ Rank differ between difficulty levels but are generally the same as getting an S Rank, but with further restrictions. We’ll tell you how to get an S+ on Assisted, Standard, Hardcore, and Professional below.
Resident Evil 4 remake S+ Rank requirements
To get an S+ Rank in Resident Evil 4 remake, you must beat the game within the following time limits:
- Assisted: 04:00:00
- Standard: 05:00:00

Tips to get S+ Rank in Resident Evil 4 remake on Professional difficulty
To beat Resident Evil 4 remake in less than five hours and thirty minutes on Professional difficulty, you’re going to have to hustle.
Here are a few tips to help you get S+ Rank:
- Practice perfect parries and staggering enemies before starting.
- The only weapon you should buy is the rifle and the scope. The starting handgun and first shotgun are powerful enough, especially with their exclusive upgrades.
- Save all other Pesetas for weapon upgrades and the Rocket Launcher.
- Save the Rocket Launcher for later game bosses (Salazar, Verdugo, Krauser, Saddler).
- Thin out enemies in areas that require a repeat visit.
- Run or stealth by enemies in locations you’ll only visit once.
- Make sure to get treasures that are in your path, but avoid those that require a detour.
- Most requests aren’t worth the lost time it takes to complete them.
