Navigating the horrors of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2 Remake requires resourcefulness, precision, and a keen eye for hidden clues. Throughout the Police Station, Sewers, and Laboratory, players encounter locked safes, dial locks, and electronic puzzles that guard essential supplies. Knowing the correct combinations saves precious time and ammo, allowing players to focus on surviving relentless bio-weapons.
Police Office Safe Combinations and Desk Locks
The Raccoon City Police Department is filled with locked desks and security safes holding crucial weapon upgrades and inventory expansions. In the West Office, Leon and Claire can unlock Ned's desk using the combination NED for the left lock and MRG for the right lock. The safe in the same room requires turning the dial Left 9, Right 15, and Left 7 to yield a valuable Hip Pouch.
Moving to the Waiting Room on the second floor, another sturdy safe houses an important weapon accessory. Inputting Left 6, Right 2, and Left 11 will open this safe for both playable characters. Meanwhile, the Safety Deposit Room portable safes feature randomized button sequences that reward spare keys needed to claim additional shotgun shells and herbs.
Locker Padlock Codes Across the Police Station
Locker padlocks scattered throughout the precinct contain specialized ammunition and supplies necessary for boss encounters. In the 3F Hallway near the stairs, entering the letter code DCM unlocks a locker filled with magnum or submachine gun rounds. The Shower Room locker on the second floor requires the combination CAP to access its hidden contents.
As players descend into the Sewer Control Room later in the campaign, they will find another locked locker near the scaffolding. Entering the code SZF grants access to additional ammunition to help deal with G-Spawns. Keeping track of these letter combinations ensures players never leave critical resources behind in dangerous corridors.
Sewer Safes and Greenhouse Lab Solutions
The lower levels of Raccoon City feature complex mechanical solutions alongside standard numerical locks. In the Treatment Pool Room within the Sewers, a safe located near the cable car requires Left 2, Right 12, and Left 8. Opening this container provides essential weapon attachments that improve accuracy and firepower during late-game encounters.
Upon reaching the NEST Laboratory, players must solve symbol-based console puzzles to access the Greenhouse Control Room and Dispersal Unit. The Control Room ladder code uses the symbols representing 3, 1, 2, 3, while the drug synthesis machine code uses 2, 0, 6, 7. Correctly matching these code sequences allows players to craft the herbicide required to destroy Plant 43 and retrieve the Senior Staff Keycard.
