Resident - Evil 6 Nintendo Switch Cheats Best //top\\
While there are no traditional "button code" cheats for Resident Evil 6
on Nintendo Switch, the game features several major unlockables and exploits that function as built-in cheats. Unlike other consoles, the Nintendo Switch version
uniquely allows you to use bonus costumes during the main story campaign. The "Ultimate Cheat": Infinite Ammo
Infinite ammo is not available from the start; it is a skill you must unlock and purchase with Skill Points (SP).

2. Unlockable Characters (Mercenaries Mode Cheats)
In Resident Evil 6’s fan-favorite Mercenaries mode, you can unlock secret characters by achieving high scores. These act as "cheat characters" due to their overpowered loadouts.
| Secret Character | How to Unlock | Best Cheat-like Ability | |------------------|---------------|--------------------------| | Ada Wong | Get an A rank on any Mercenaries stage. | Crossbow with explosive bolts + grappling hook escape. | | Carla Radames | Unlock Ada, then get an A rank on another stage. | Deploys exploding Rasklapanje creatures. | | Agent (Secret) | Get an A rank on all Mercenaries stages. | Balanced stats, but rare—unlocking him is a bragging right. | | EX3 Costumes | Beat each campaign on Professional difficulty. | No gameplay change, but massive style points. |
Best "Cheat" Character: Carla Radames. Her ability to spawn a mini-boss that attacks enemies for you breaks the mode’s difficulty.
5. The "Reticule" Cheat (No Spread)
This is a hidden setting that acts like a cheat code for accuracy. While there are no traditional "button code" cheats
How to do it:
- Go to Options.
- Look for Reticle Type.
- Set it to Type D.
This removes the expanding crosshair animation. Your shots will always land perfectly in the center of the screen, effectively removing bullet spread. This makes achieving headshots significantly easier on the Switch's handheld mode.
Part 6: Unlock All Characters in Mercenaries (Without the Grind)
Resident Evil 6’s Mercenaries mode is fantastic, but unlocking every character normally requires finishing every campaign on every difficulty. Here is the "cheat code" equivalent for Switch:
- Hold L + R while selecting Mercenaries mode. (This is a true legacy cheat—it worked on PS3 and works on Switch).
- Note: This does not permanently unlock characters. It only unlocks them for that single session. But if you want to play as Ada or the zombie-killing version of Helena right now, this is a true button cheat.
To permanently unlock everyone without doing the work: they cannot take damage.
- Use the Skill Point farming method from Part 3. Buy the "Unlock All" feature in the Extra Content Shop. It costs 200,000 SP, but with our farming method, that’s 20 minutes of grinding.
5. The Switch-Exclusive Co-Op Revive Glitch (God Mode)
Because RE6 on Switch runs on a slightly different engine, there is a persistent "cheat" involving the touch screen.
How to exploit it:
- Play co-op (local wireless or online).
- When your partner goes down, do not revive them with the button. Instead, tap their icon on the Switch touch screen repeatedly.
- The game will queue revives faster than the animation allows.
- Result: Your partner gets up with 50% more i-frames (invincibility frames) than intended. For 3 seconds after the glitch, they cannot take damage.
Use this: Right before a boss explosion or a helicopter crash.
Prerequisites:
- Beat the game on any difficulty.
- Fully upgrade every stat (Power, Capacity, Reload, etc.) for a specific weapon type (e.g., Handguns, Magnums, Machine Pistols).
