In the Resident Evil 2 remake, the three fixed dial safes all use a left-right-left sequence: West Office Left 9, Right 15, Left 7; East Wing Waiting Room Left 6, Right 2, Left 11; and Treatment Pool Room Left 2, Right 12, Left 8. These codes are reported to work for both characters and in New Game and 2nd Run.

What are the Resident Evil 2 safe codes?

Use the directions and numbers in order, then confirm the combination. The locations and rewards are:

Safe location Combination Reward
West Office, 1F, Police Station Left 9, Right 15, Left 7 Hip Pouch
East Wing Waiting Room, 2F, Police Station Left 6, Right 2, Left 11 Leon: Muzzle Brake; Claire: extended-capacity magazine
Treatment Pool Room, middle level of the Sewers Left 2, Right 12, Left 8 Character-specific weapon upgrade: Claire’s Reinforced Frame for the SLS 60, or Leon’s Shotgun Stock for the W-870

The three combinations and rewards are cross-checked in the Steam-hosted code guide and Vandal’s safe guide. The reported codes stay the same across Leon and Claire and between New Game and 2nd Run.

How to enter a dial safe combination

  1. Turn the dial left to the first number.
  2. Turn it right to the second number.
  3. Turn it left to the third number, then confirm to open the safe.

Follow the stated directions rather than treating the three numbers as an undirected code.

#1 Best Overall
Resident Evil 2 - PlayStation 5
  • TERRIFYING ZOMBIES WAITING AROUND EVERY CORNER -- Driven by insatiable hunger, these creatures act on instinct, gnashing their teeth, ripping at flesh, and devouring their victims. The new immersive camera lets you feel their fangs as they sink into your flesh.
  • RACCOON CITY, REBUILT IN INTRICATE DETAIL -- The characters, environments, and story have all been rebuilt from the ground up to create a terrifying world that feels both nostalgic and new.
  • NEW FOR PLAYSTATION5 – Upgraded features new to the PlayStation5 version of the game include a higher frame rate, 3D audio, added ray tracing, and engaging DualSense support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers.

What are the letter lock combinations?

Letter locks are separate from the numbered dial safes. Enter these codes at the matching location:

Lock location Code
Leon’s desk, West Office: left lock NED
Leon’s desk, West Office: right lock MRG
Shower Room locker, 2F, Police Station CAP
Locker near the stairs, 3F, Police Station DCM
Control Room locker, Sewers SZF

The initials on Leon’s desk refer to coworkers’ first names. The North-side combination’s missing name is resolved by trying the remaining option, as described in the Steam-hosted guide. The locker codes are also listed by PC Gamer and Push Square.

Why portable safes have no fixed code

Portable safes use randomized button sequences, so a universal combination will not open them. Press the buttons to discover and complete the sequence, following the counter-clockwise order described in the Steam-hosted guide.

Their locations vary by playthrough:

  • Playthrough A: Shower Room, 2F, and Linen Room, 2F.
  • Playthrough B: Interrogation Room, 1F, and Linen Room, 2F.

Opening both portable safes provides replacement keys for the Safety Deposit Room keypad.
