You didn’t think we’d be going back to the RPD without some fun and easter eggs, did you?
Resident Evil Requiem’s events take a nostalgic turn once Leon returns to the site of the catalyst for his entire career and life, the Raccoon City Police Department. Inside the RPD, which is crumbling and in ruins, Leon can revisit some of his most painful memories, including his first true loss: Marvin Branagh.
But within the RPD, there’s also some old-school joy to be had. And it all comes to a head when you reach the S.T.A.R.S. Office once more.
Resident Evil Requiem RPD scavenger hunt solution
In his old man dad style, RE1 and RE Revelations 2 star Barry Burton left some pictures and clues around the office for the S.T.A.R.S. members to find a prize. And now you can grab that prize yourself, 28 years later, after the city has been bombed to hell. Better late than never?
Barry’s two scavenger hunt clues are found in the S.T.A.R.S. Office on the second floor of the west side of the RPD. The photo clues can be found in the storage closet to your right when you enter the room, and in Chris Redfield’s jacket on the wall opposite the door you came in. They are pictured below:
These clues will send you to the Operations Room back on the first floor, where you can look up and see a couple of televisions bolted to the ceiling. Enter the room, turn around, and the TV will be up and to your left. Climb up on the desk and then grab the item, which is a key to open a locker in the West Office down the hallway.
Head back into the West Office, and on your right, you can find the locker that needs the key. When you open it, inside you’ll find the special S.T.A.R.S. Emblem Charm that Leon can equip to his weapons. It increases your firepower at the cost of more sway while aiming.
But that’s not all: the grand prize! Free tickets to the zoo for whoever solved the hunt. Unfortunately, the zoo is now closed, along with the entire city. Too bad, Leon. This would’ve been really cool for you to do way back in 1998, but these things happen, I suppose.
If you look within the locker, there are some more fun easter eggs. In the back, there’s a poster for Capcom classic Street Fighter Alpha. You can also see some sort of nondescript old game console from the 90s in there. It kind of looks like a PlayStation, but the controllers look like they belong to a Sega console. And the games are on discs.
Enjoy the nostalgia, Leon. Well, I guess you can be nostalgic for what could’ve been.
