Resident Evil 6 Nintendo Switch Cheats

Infinite ammo is available, but must be unlocked per weapon.

How to unlock:

Pro tip: Farm SP by replaying quick chapters (e.g., Chris Chapter 1, Leon Chapter 2) on Amateur difficulty.

Platform: Nintendo Switch
Game: Resident Evil 6 (includes all four campaigns: Leon, Chris, Jake, Ada)

Note: Resident Evil 6 on Switch does not support traditional "button code" cheats (like infinite ammo from the start). Instead, all cheats and modifiers are earned through gameplay or purchased with in-game points. Below is everything you can unlock to make the game easier, plus a few Switch-specific tricks.

Unlike older RE games, RE6 on Switch has no input cheats like ↑, ↓, ←, →, A, B. However, you can use the touch screen to quick-select items or weapons in the inventory.

The Mercenaries is RE6’s beloved arcade-style horde mode. On the Nintendo Switch, you can unlock additional characters beyond the main four (Leon, Chris, Jake, Ada). These act as "cheat" characters because they start with overpowered loadouts. resident evil 6 nintendo switch cheats

| Character | How to Unlock | Cheat Weapon | |-----------|---------------|----------------| | Helena | Complete Leon’s campaign | Hydra shotgun (insane spread damage) | | Piers | Complete Chris’s campaign | Anti-material rifle (one-shot most enemies) | | Sherry | Complete Jake’s campaign | Stun Rod + infinite stun baton combo | | Ada Wong | Complete Ada’s campaign | Crossbow with explosive bolts | | Carla Radames | Get an A-Rank on any Mercenaries map with Ada | 無限榴彈發射器 (Infinite grenade launcher) | | Agent | Complete all four campaigns | Starts with an assault rifle + magnum |

Switch-specific cheat: In handheld mode, use the touchscreen to quickly swap weapons in Mercenaries without pausing. This allows for faster combos than using physical buttons.

While you won’t find a classic GameShark code for Resident Evil 6 on Nintendo Switch, the game cleverly disguises its cheat system as the Skill Shop. By investing time into completing campaigns on Professional difficulty and farming SP, you can unlock Infinite Ammo, super armor, and secret Mercenaries characters that completely break the game’s difficulty.

For the best cheat experience on Switch: play through Leon’s campaign first (to unlock Last Stand), then co-op Chris’s campaign on Professional (use the revive exploit), and finally buy Infinite Ammo. Once equipped, every zombie, J’avo, and giant monster becomes a trivial target.

Now grab your Joy-Cons, enter the Skill Shop, and start cheating your way through the apocalypse. Just remember: in Resident Evil 6, the only real cheat is survival.
