  • The first game's memorable opening cinematic, taking William Birkin's slaughter of the Umbrella Ops team depicted in Resident Evil 2 and blending it with imagery suggestive of the T-Virus' effect on a host's cellular structure, set to music that is both haunting and beautiful at once.
  • Badass Normal is the tenant of the heroes for most of the franchise, but the Outbreak crew shines best because unlike everyone else, they're not The Immune — every part of the game is one long Timed Mission until you finally Earn Your Happy Ending, as the T-Virus is ticking down and threatening to overtake and kill them. This makes any character that manages to make it through, especially on Very Hard, a prime candidate for being one of the toughest Action Survivor members of the franchise cast. And, if a news article in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is anything to go by, Alyssa was confirmed to be one of them if she isn't the Sole Survivor.
  • Special mention goes to the Outbreak scenario. Every other stage has a traditional boss monster you have to kill. Outbreak's boss? A sea of zombies that literally flood the main street of Raccoon City. Solution? Activate a series of explosives and blow them all up. Your character's holy shit reaction afterwards is quite justified.
  • Decisions, Decisions with four special endings; in all but one case (which is more of a tearjerker), the two infected survivors are resigned to their fates and decide to kick zombie ass.
  • David saving a scientist by clocking a zombie with a pipe in the introduction to End of the Road.
    • In the same scenario, Carter utilizes Mr. X as your protector! Just watching him beat up the hunters with no effort is enough to make any Resident Evil/Biohazard fan smiling.
  • In Desperate Times, a massive amount of zombies invade the police station and you are forced to defend it. Now, if you're playing online with 4 survivors on your group at the most difficult mode available, then get ready for one of the most thrilling experiences of the game.
  • In End of the Road, the Eldritch Abomination Nyx is a monstrous Blob Monster capable of easily consuming and adding lifeforms to its bulk... and can even do so to a Tyrant. Unfortunately for the monster, said Tyrant was loaded with demolition charges, and while it's expected to use them against him, it's possible to hold on to the chance and instead wait until Nyx has eaten the still-struggling Tyrant to transmit the detonation signal, crippling it.
