The game is a remake of 1998s Resident Evil 2, 1 first announced on 12 August 2015 by Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and released wordwide on 25 January 2019 for the PlayStation, Xbox One and Windows operating systems.

Rather than improving the visuals and polishing the same script, this game is instead more a reimagining of the original story, with redesigned maps, characters and story elements.

Like that game, the Japanese version was subject to unique censoring to remove the more gory sequences.

While changing several key details from the PS1 release (notably downplaying the intimacy of the Zap system), Resident Evil 2 is a phenomenal remake that caters to old school fans while also featuring enough modern conveniences to prevent alienting more action oriented players.

Located in the West Office on the first floor of the Police Station, Leons desk has been locked by his fellow officers as a show of gentle hazing.

A nearby note reveals that Leon can unlock his desk by inputting the initials of his co-workers.

This can be done as easily as checking everyones name tag on their desk.

If playing as Leon, hell unlock the HIgh-Capacity Magazine for his Matilda handgun.

If playing as Claire, shell unlock the Speed Reloader for her SLS 60.

Both attachments are fairly useful early in the game, so make sure to unlock Leons desk ASAP.

The locker is restrained by a single three character lock unlike Leons Desk.

To find the answer to the lock, Leon or Claire needs to head down to the room between the Operations and Records Room on the first floor.

When playing as Claire, shell find Fire Rounds for her Grenade Launcher.

Both the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher are exclusive to Leon Claire respectively, and can be unlocked in the Safety Deposit Room after finding the Weapons Locker Key Card in the Art Room.

From the Dark-room Safe Room on the first floor, head up the staircase until reaching a locker on the third floor.

The combination to this locker can only be found by finding a Roll Film in the Police Stations Firing Range on B1 and then bringing it back up to the Dark-room to develop where the photo will reveal the code.

Leon gets Magnum rounds for his Lightning Hawk whereas Claire gets Submachine ammo for her MQ 11.

Armory and require the USB Dongle Key located on the S.T.A.R.S.

Badge. In a fresh Leon playthrough, the Badge can be found in a Jeweled Box in the Observation Room.

For a B-side playthrough, the Badge will be in the Shower Room.

This is yet another three character lock that can be found by reading the right file.

The combination to the Sewer Control Rooms locker can be found circled on a Jazz Festival Flyer in the Workers Break Room.

Leon gets Magnum ammo for his Lightning Hawk while Claire gets SMG ammo for the MQ 11.

Considering how scarce ammo is in Resident Evil 2, however, this is as good of a reward as players can hope for.
