Resident Evil (1996)[]

Although unplayable, Barry serves as supporting character for Jill Valentine. He wields a powerful .357 Magnum Colt Python and is more helpful than Chris' Rebecca, as he eliminates the need for the broken shotgun (as long as the player hasn't picked up the Armor Key) and assists in fighting several of the bosses.

Resident Evil (2002)[]

Barry returns in the remake of the Resident Evil game as supporting character for Jill. His assignments are the same as the original game.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence[]

Barry is playable in Resident Evil: Deadly Silence's Multiplayer mode. To unlock, complete Rebirth Mode with Jill.

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition[]

Barry Burton is an unlockable character in Resident Evil 5s mini game The Mercenaries Reunion mode. Already in the United mode, however, he is a playable character since beginning. Barry's outfit is his S.T.A.R.S. uniform.

While not having any fully automatic weapons, Barry's handgun is powerful enough to take most enemies down with 3 or less shots. Reflecting his raw strength from the games, Barry has extremely powerful melee moves, to make up for a lack of crowd control weapons. He is the only character who can perform a combo finisher on a Chainsaw Majini or both types of Executioner Majini, if another character had already performed a melee attack on said enemy, and is also the only in both modes who uses a gun for a melee attack. He also boasts from having the strongest melee attack in the game, Hurricane, tied with Rebecca's Stun Gun.
