How to Get a Grenade Launcher in Resident Evil 2
No matter who you choose to play as at the start of Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield will have only a pistol to work with. Whereas Leon can unlock the shotgun in the locker of the Raccoon City police station, the grenade launcher is instead available for Claire to unlock.
To start with, bring up the map screen of Resident Evil 2 by pressing either the touchpad on the DualShock 4, or the View button on the Xbox One controller. You now need to make it to the second floor of the Raccoon City police station, and on the east side from the main hall, you’ll be able to see the art room.
The key to unlock the door that leads to the art room can be found on the third floor of the police station, on the western side from the main hall. If you head to the very top of the staircase, you can find a ‘fancy key’ on a table through a broken wall, and it’s this key that you can take back to the second floor of the main hall, enter the door on the eastern side, and unlock the door in this next room to reach the art room.
Weapons Locker Keycard Location
As soon as you enter the art room, you’ll see a small table with a lamp directly ahead of you. On this table, Claire can acquire the ‘weapons locker keycard’, which is the item that will allow you to actually obtain the grenade launcher.

Retreat to the main hall, first floor, and you need to make your way to the safety deposit room, which is on the same floor, on the western side of the building. Use the key you previously acquired to unlock the shortcut through the west office, and you’ll be there in no time.

When you’re in the safety deposit room, head to the very back of the room, and you’ll see the main weapons locker. Interact with the keycard reader on your right, and use the weapons locker keycard item to open it up. Congratulations, you’ve just got your hands on one of the more powerful items at Claire Redfield’s disposal in the entire game.

As Resident Evil remakes continue to print money, Capcom confirms plans for more of them
But no conirmation as to which games it plans to remake.

To the surprise of presumably no one, Capcom has in fact confirmed that it’s planning another Resident Evil remake - but it hasn’t said which game’s getting one.
It’s no secret that Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes have been doing exceptionally well - Resident Evil 4 Remake sold three million copies within its first two days . So hearing that Capcom is working on more was pretty much a given. Resident Evil 4 Remake director Yasuhiro Anpo was the one to confirm more remakes are on the way, quite simply replying “Yes,” when asked by IGN if the developer had plans for more. “We’ve released three remakes so far and they have all been received very well. Since it allows a modern audience to play these games, it is something I am happy to do as someone that loves these older games, and we want to continue doing more.
“What game we will remake in the future is something that we would like to announce in the future, so please look forward to it.” There hasn’t been any kind of hints so far as to which games Capcom might remake, though it has been trying to figure out which games you want to see remade . Code Veronica seemingly isn’t off the table , but of course there are games like the original Resident Evil or Resident Evil 0. Plus, there’s the more actiony Resident Evil 5, which is the next one numerically, though that one obviously marked quite a shift for the survival horror series.
Capcom does have an “unannounced major title” due out before March 2024 , though I personally wouldn’t bet on a new Resident Evil game. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is out March 22 , but that one was already announced, so it can’t be that. Perhaps there’s a new Monster Hunter on the horizon? We could always hope for a new Lost Planet or Darkstalkers too.
