Safe Combinations & Locker Codes
Throughout your harrowing journey through Raccoon City, you'll encounter various locked containers, from sturdy safes to simple lockers. These often conceal vital resources, from powerful weaponry to much-needed healing items and ammunition. While some codes are fixed, others can be randomized across playthroughs or difficulty settings. This section will guide you through locating the clues and, where applicable, provide the direct solutions.
Downtown - Raccoon Police Department (RPD)
The RPD is a treasure trove of useful items, but many are behind locked doors or secured compartments. Pay close attention to notes and whiteboards.
-
Police Station Office Safe:
- Location: This safe is located in the small office directly off the main hall of the RPD, near the front entrance.
- Clue: Look for a "Confidential Report" or similar document on a desk in the same office, often tucked away. The document will contain a seemingly innocuous sequence of numbers or directions.
- Combination: The combination is generally Left 9, Right 15, Left 7. This will unlock the safe, granting you access to the Shotgun, a crucial early-game weapon for dealing with multiple zombies or tougher foes.
-
Police Station Locker (2F West Office):
- Location: On the second floor of the RPD, in the West Office (the one with the L-shaped desk and multiple workstations).
- Clue: A whiteboard in the same office, often near the door, will have a series of numbers or a partial code scribbled on it.
- Code: The code for this locker is typically 0131. Inside, you'll find Handgun Ammo, always a welcome sight.
-
Police Station Locker (3F Hallway):
- Location: On the third floor, in the hallway leading to the Clock Tower entrance.
- Clue: Check the bulletin board or a note pinned nearby in the same hallway.
- Code: The code for this locker is usually 0392. This locker contains Shotgun Shells, perfect for reloading your newly acquired Shotgun.
Uptown - Hospital
Later in the game, you'll find yourself in the abandoned hospital. There's one notable safe here that can provide a significant advantage.
-
Hospital Safe (Nurse's Station):
- Location: In the Nurse's Station on the second floor of the hospital.
- Clue: A "Medical Chart" or "Patient Record" found in one of the patient rooms or on a nearby desk will contain the necessary information, often highlighting specific numbers.
- Combination: The combination is typically Left 9, Right 3, Left 7. Opening this safe will reward you with the Magnum, an incredibly powerful weapon that can dispatch even the most resilient enemies with ease. Save its limited ammunition for boss encounters or particularly troublesome creatures.
General Tips for Finding Codes:
- Examine Everything: Always thoroughly check every document, whiteboard, poster, and note you come across. Clues are often subtly integrated into the environment.
- Look for Patterns: Sometimes the clues aren't direct numbers but rather a sequence of directions (e.g., "turn left 3 times, then right 5 times").
- Context is Key: The location of the clue often relates directly to the location of the safe or locker. If you find a clue in the RPD, chances are it's for a lock within the RPD.
- Randomization: Be aware that on higher difficulties or subsequent playthroughs, some codes might be randomized. If a listed code doesn't work, re-examine the area for the specific clue in your current game.
