I love a good easter egg, especially when it’s a callback to games I played almost 30 years ago.
Resident Evil Requiem includes a good amount of fun fan-service for long-time fans of the franchise, and a lot of it is found within the RPD that Leon explores during one of his segments in the game. A briefcase is found in the S.T.A.R.S. Office on the second floor, but you need a code to open it.
Here’s how to unlock that briefcase in the S.T.A.R.S. Office in Resident Evil Requiem.
How to unlock the STARS Office briefcase in Resident Evil Requiem
To unlock the briefcase in the S.T.A.R.S. Office in the RPD, it involves scouring the police station’s ruins for hints left behind. Finding the solution requires finding and reading several files, the first of which is on the far left desk in the S.T.A.R.S. Office, Barry Burton’s desk.
This file is called Barry’s To-Do List and hints at a TOP PRIORITY to “find that missing library book” and that “the captain checked it out last.” That’s our old buddy Albert Wesker, who has his own office within the S.T.A.R.S. Office.
Enter his office and check the desk drawer. A note will fall out, and it’s a Library Card that contains your next clue: it says that Wesker checked out the book, Medicinal Benefits of Herbs, and returned it two days later. Naturally, now it’s time tohead down the hall to the Library.
The book we’re after is on the second floor of the library, on the other side of the bridge connecting both sides. You can see it pictured below, along with what is found within:
Yep. The classic Resident Evil 2 easter egg featuring Rebecca Chambers in an RPD outfit and posing with a basketball. If you flip it around, you can see something written: Rising Rookie Rebecca. And there you have it. That’s our code to open the briefcase.
Head back to the S.T.A.R.S. Office armory and open up the briefcase using “RRR” as your solution, and grab the loot inside: the Power Shades Charm.
This charm that Leon can equip to his Requiem hand cannon “offers limitless bullet penetration and increases the firepower of the last bullet in the cylinder.” Good old Wesker and his trademark sunglasses.
