* AKA47: The various guns used are given fictional names. For instance, the KRISS Vectors are known as the K-12AX.
* AllThereInTheManual: Most information on the game is made available from official Capcom press releases, the official website, or by [[FreezeFrameBonus looking at the briefings provided by Jackson in ''The Experiment'' before a stage starts while the game loads.]]
* BoomHeadShot: Aiming for a zombie's head is a good way of killing them permanently.
* ConcealmentEqualsCover: Players can take cover behind walls and other things while peeking out to take shots at enemy mercenaries and B.O.W.S. roaming around a stage.
* CurbStompBattle: In some matches, you and your teammates can be overwhelmed by the other team if they shoot your Zombie Jammer packs and use the zombies as distractions. Fortunately for you, you can do the same.
* GunAccessories: Your small arms can be outfitted with various accessories to help you survive in the mission.
* HoldTheLine: When you need to get to transmitters, you need to stay near it so that it can transmit the data back to HQ. This makes you vulnerable to enemies unless you have enough ammo or you know they're not in the area.
* MythologyGag:
** The multiplayer maps consist of the Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil, Raccoon City from Resident Evil 2/Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, the Antarctic Base from Resident Evil CODE:Veronica, the unnamaed village from Resident Evil 4, Kijuju from Resident Evil 5, Lanshiang and Tall Oaks from Resident Evil 6.
** You can use emblems from various organizations as velcro patches, including Umbrella, [=BSAA=], the Spec Ops unit and the [=DSO=].
* OneManArmy: If a player is really good, it can be done. Unless the opposing team is also really really good.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: This is the first Resident Evil game that centers on the multiplayer tactical shooting genre. According to Masachika Kawata, the decision was made to appeal to gamers who like playing tactical shooters.
* TakeCover: Using walls, barriers and other structures can help you hide from enemies and use them as a shield while firing your weapons or darting to another piece of cover.
* ThrowAwayGuns: If your weapons are out of ammo or you need a better weapon, you need to find a weapons case and walk to it to get the contents inside.
* TrainingFromHell: Recruits are sent to battle zombies in training bases with nothing except their weapons to see if they can survive something similar in the field. Not everyone makes it through.
* WeNeedADistraction: If a player can grab a zombie, you can chuck it to the opposing players, forcing them to concentrate their attention on it.
* VideoGameTutorial: Umbrella Corp has one, which takes place in a mercenary training base [[TrainingFromHell where recruits are assessed to see if they survive or get killed by zombies or other monsters in there.]]
