Unlocking Ada’s Cat Set for Infinite Ammo in Separate Ways

Let me paint a picture for you. It’s 2026, I’ve just crashed through the gates of the village for the umpteenth time, and my shotgun is sitting there with exactly two shells, probably judging me. That’s when I remembered the legend: a secret accessory that turns every single firearm into a bottomless death-dealer. No mods, no cheat codes – just a pair of fluffy cat ears and a tail. Yep, Capcom decided the pinnacle of survival horror swagger was to make you look like a cute feline while you mow down Ganados without ever reloading. I’m here to show you how to get Ada’s Cat Set and why it’s the best (and most ridiculous) thing in Resident Evil 4 Remake: Separate Ways.

Why You Need This Furry Accessory

Ada’s Cat Ears & Tail aren’t just for looking fabulous while backflipping off ledges. This apparel item, hidden under “Ada’s Accessories” in the Extras menu, grants infinite ammunition for all weapons – shotguns, pistols, the TMP, even the crossbow. It’s basically Leon’s Cat Ears from the base game but with more style and far fewer emo haircuts. The catch? You earn it by proving you’re either a speedrunner or a masochist. Or both.

The Brutal Unlock Criteria

To get your paws on this kit, you need to beat Separate Ways on Professional Mode with an S+ Rank. That’s fancy speak for:

• Completing the entire DLC in under 2 hours and 30 minutes 🕒

• Saving your game no more than 10 times 💾

Remember, the average playthrough clocks in around three and a half hours. You’ll be shaving off at least an hour of content, likely more. When I first attempted this, I felt like I was speed-dating every boss and stood up half the enemies. But oh, the payoff.

How to Equip and What Actually Happens

Once you’ve unlocked it, don’t go diving into the game expecting automatic change. Here’s the procedure:

1. Return to the main menu.

2. Go to Extras → Ada’s Accessories.

3. Select the Cat Set and confirm.

4. Load your save or start a New Game Plus – the cat gear will be on.

You cannot swap outfits mid-mission; the game treats wardrobe changes like a sacred ritual requiring a full save and exit. But once equipped, every weapon bar one will never need a reload. That’s right, you can fire the Stingray until your trigger finger cramps, and the ammo counter won’t budge.

The one exception? The Infinite Rocket Launcher still needs to be purchased separately in NG+ for a cool 1,500,000 pesetas. So if you want to cosplay a trigger-happy cat blowing up catapults, you’ll need to grind those gemstone trades.

Pro Tips to Make That S+ Run Less Painful

I’ve put my dignity through the wringer to bring you these shortcuts. Use them, laugh at me later.

🏃‍♂️ Skip Non-Essential Fights

Those mini-bosses like the chainsaw man or the Brute? They’re optional set pieces shouting “look at me!” Ignore them. Run past, flashbang if needed, and keep sprinting. Your time is better spent not dying.

💣 Flash Grenades Are Your Best Friend

Craft as many as you can carry. A flashbang stuns entire crowds, letting you slip through like a ghost. Prioritize gathering resources for these over healing items when possible. I sometimes felt like a particularly violent magician – smoke bomb, vanish, repeat.

💥 Unlock the Blast Crossbow Ammo Recipe

Head to the Merchant and unlock those explosive bolts ASAP. One well-placed exploding arrow can take out clusters of enemies that would otherwise eat 30 seconds of precious time. Plus, it feels absurdly satisfying to watch Ganados go pop.

❤️ Maximize Ada’s Health Early

Scoop up every Yellow Herb you can. A beefy health bar lets you tank hits during scripted moments where running isn’t an option. In my winning run, I facetanked a few hits that would have sent a squishier Ada back to the typewriter (remember, you only have 10 saves!).

🎯 Plan Your Saves Strategically

Here’s a sample save roadmap I used:

The rest you hold in reserve for horrific luck. Works like a charm.

My Personal Journey (and Shame)

I’ll admit, my first S+ attempt ended with me staring at a “time: 2:38” result, 8 minutes over, because I couldn’t resist looting a treasure chest that turned out to be a trap. The cat ears laughed at me from beyond the extras menu. But after tweaking the route and embracing the run-and-gun philosophy, I nailed it in 2 hours and 19 minutes. And let me tell you, walking into that first fight with infinite ammo made me feel like the scariest cat lady in rural Spain.

If you’re still chasing this in 2026, you’re in good company. Separate Ways remains a gem, and the Cat Set is the ultimate victory lap. Now go forth, dress like a feline god, and never reload again.
