Like any proper Resident Evil game, the Resident Evil 2 remake is chock full of puzzles. There are, of course, the usual “find item X, use on item Y” puzzles, but that’s just the start. Many of the game’s puzzles are a bit more straightforward, requiring only a specific letter sequence or number combination. If you’d rather not track down the puzzle solutions yourself, we’re here to help.
Resident Evil 2 Puzzle Solutions
An important thing to note is that most puzzle solutions aren’t randomized. When it comes to most sequence-based puzzles, the same solution works across multiple playthroughs without fail. This can save you a lot of time during subsequent playthroughs, especially if you’re going for the coveted S rank. Safe combinations, locker codes, if it’s a sequence-based puzzle, chances are good it has a static solution.
