How to Get a Shotgun in Resident Evil 2

You’re going to start out with nothing but a pistol in Resident Evil 2, for both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. But when it’s Leon’s debut solo section in the game, which takes place in the Raccoon City police station, you’re obviously going to want to get your hands on a more powerful weapon to deal with the zombie hordes, and this is where the shotgun comes in handy.

There’s something not right here… |Hirun Cryer

In Resident Evil 2, you can bring up the map of your current local area by pressing either the touchpad on the DualShock 4, or the view button on the Xbox One controller. You’ll want to keep doing this periodically because it’s the ‘Art Room’ that you need to reach, which is on the second floor, just off to the right side of the main hall.

Weapons Locker Keycard Location

Check out our map screen just above, and you can see the rough location of the Art Room in Resident Evil 2. As soon as you enter this room from the corridor outside, the Weapons Locker Keycard will be directly ahead of you, just on the table.

Hello, fancy keycard! |Hirun Cryer

So next up, you need to make your way out of the Art Room, back through the main hall, onto the first floor, and out of the left side of the hall. You need to make your way into the Safety Deposit Room, which is past the area where you first obtained the radio to Branagh earlier in the level.

How to Unlock the Shotgun Locker in Resident Evil 2

If you’ve already reached the weapons locker within the Safety Deposit Room, without having grabbed the weapons Locker Keycard, you’ll need to make your way straight to the Art Room.

Once you’re in Safety Deposit Room, you need to make your way to the very back of the line of lockers. At the very back of the room, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the large locker on the wall containing the shotgun, and unlock it using the Weapons Locker Keycard item.

Oh weapons locker keycard, blessed are we |Hirun Cryer

Congratulations, you’ve got your hands on the powerful shotgun for Leon in Resident Evil 2. While you’re there, don’t forget to grab the shotgun ammo that’s in the same locker as the shotgun itself, and load up immediately.

Now that we’re all wrapped up with this guide on how to obtain the shotgun in Resident Evil 2, you can check out our additional guides on the remake. Head over to our…

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.
