Resident Evil 2 safe codes and locker codes - Leon’s desk and portable safes explained

How to unlock all safes and lockers in the Resident Evil 2 remake.

Are you looking to unlock all the lockers , find all the safe combinations , and pop open the portable safes in Resident Evil 2 Remake ? This guide has you covered with all the Resident Evil 2 safe codes and locker codes.

One of the first puzzles you come up against in the Resident Evil 2 Remake asks you to unlock Leon’s desk , so let’s start there, shall we?

Resident Evil 2 Remake - How to unlock Leon’s desk

You’ll see a note stuck on Leon’s desk, telling you his new colleagues have locked it and the solution is their initials. What might throw you off is the fact that police call each other by their surnames, but you need to use their forename for this.

• To unlock the right hand side, use the code: MRG .

You figure this out by looking at the other police desks to the right and checking out the name cards: Marvin Branagh (M), Rita Phillips (R), and then George Scott (G), whose name plaque has been knocked onto the floor.

• To unlock the left side of Leon’s desk, use the code: NED .

The logic is exactly the same as the last one, with David Ford (D) and Elliot Edward (E) giving you two of the three solutions, but remember that you’ll have to enter the names the other way around to make NED.

If you’re playing as Leon, you’ll get a High Capacity Magazine for your pistol. If you’re playing as Claire, you get a Speed Reloader for your revolver.

Resident Evil 2 Portable Safes explained

Unlocking these will give you spare keys for the keypad in the Safety Deposit Room, allowing you to get a Hip Pouch and a bunch of consumables. Here’s where you can find them:

Playthrough A

• Shower Room locker Portable Safe
• Linen Room Portable Safe

Playthrough B

• Portable Safe Interrogation Room
• Linen Room Portable Safe

To solve these, you need to click the buttons so they trigger the lights in a counter-clockwise sequence. It doesn’t matter where you start, so long as the next light from the button you press is next to the one you just triggered. You can’t fail these, so just have a play around until you see which button controls which lights, then work out the best sequence.

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.
