He arrives at Resident Evil Resistance Nicholai Ginovaef as a new Brain, and brings Nemesis with him as a Biological Weapon. We tell you how they are in detail.
Since May 15, 2020, you can play as Nicholai in Resident Evil Resistance, thanks to a free update that this video game received from Capcom. And it doesn't come alone: Nemesis itself is its Biological Weapon (ultimate ability), and this marks the first time this creature can be controlled in a Resident Evil. In this way, Nicholai Ginovaef, the evil mercenary of the U.B.C.S. of the Umbrella Corporation, joins Jill Valentine as an additional additional character included for free, as part of the Japanese company's plans to support the game as long as possible. We tell you everything you should know about this new character below:
You can't put a price on life.

This is Nicholai and Nemesis in Resident Evil Resistance
This is how Nicholai appears on the Brain selection screen
Nicholai Ginovaef is a new Brain of the game. That is to say, he is one of the villains who play by themselves, facing a team of up to four Survivors. Your objective is to eliminate them before they escape the level.
As a Brain, Nicholai specializes in using camera-mounted weapons scattered around the stage, and tracking Survivors. These are all of his abilities:
Biological Weapon: Nemesis
Nicholai can take control of the Nemesis bioweapon to finish off the survivors. Nicholai can choose between these two abilities:
-
Tireless: shortens the reload of Nemesis when Survivors are chased or defeated (stacking).
-
S.T.A.R.S .: Detects all Survivors automatically by controlling Nemesis. Plus, it speeds up recharging.
Passive ability: Predator
Nicholai's incredible tracking ability does not allow Survivors to hide. Nicholai can choose between these two abilities:
-
Predator – Tracking Ammunition: Survivors can be tracked after being attacked with firearms.
-
Predator – Blood Trail: Chase Survivors with less than 75% health automatically.
Passive Skill: Weapon Specialist
Nicholai's military experience increases his effectiveness when using firearms. Nicholai can choose between these two abilities:
-
Weapons Specialist – Firearms Efficiency: Reduce the cut of firearm cards by 1 point (s).
-
Weapons Specialist – Magazine Expansion – Increases firearm ammo and duration.
In addition to this, when we control Nemesis (it's Nicholai's ultimate ability, only available when it's fully charged), we can perform the following actions:
We handle the mighty Nemesis; our goal is to liquidate the Survivors
-
Punch: Throw a powerful punch.
-
Tentacle: Nemesis inserts one of its tentacles into the ground, and it emerges near a nearby Survivor, damaging it.
-
Acceleration: Nemesis roars furiously, dramatically increasing its movement speed.
-
Extermination: Nemesis equips his rocket launcher. The explosions of it cause great area damage to Survivors.
