Billy and Rebecca will begin the game with their respective Handguns, 200 Handgun Ammo each, and a First-Aid Spray each. Other weapons and health items are scattered about the map. There are three different possible gameplay patterns for the mode. Each pattern is chosen at random and affects item, leech, and enemy placement. The minigame takes place in the Umbrella Research Center and its basement. The majority of rooms are unlocked; however, some rooms are inaccessible, some are locked from the other side, and there are two doors that need to be unlocked using the Fire Key.
The health and behavior of most of the enemies is adjusted for the game. Zombies have much more health taking up to ten handgun bullets to drop, and tougher enemies have slightly less health, usually dying from a single grenade launcher shot plus a single handgun bullet. When the player's total leech count reaches 90, some rooms become flooded with enemies, even those rooms that have already been cleared out.
