The Professional mode in RE4 Remake explained

The RE 4 Remake’s Professional mode has quite a bit of difference in its difficulty and the gameplay mechanics too. One major change would be that you won’t have the option of Autosave at your disposal. So you will have to rely on the Typewriters and save the game manually. However, if you are aiming for the S+ rank, we suggest that you do keep a check on your saves.

In this mode, Parrying will also be limited to Perfect Parries only, with fewer options of close range. So, you must be very accurate and precise all the time. With a few tries, you will surely improve your skills too.

The best part about the Professional mode is that you will have access to all Weapon Modifications from the beginning. Although, if you have gone with the NewGame+ mode, weapon mods will be available anyway. Although, it can surely give you that early advantage against the monsters and parasites.

Lastly, you can, in this mode, unlock and even buy a variety of unlockables. As for the players wanting to buy the Chicago Sweeper, you can also do that in this mode. Check out our guide on how to get the Chicago Sweeper in RE4 Remake.
