Safe, portable safe, and dial locks codes and combinations
There are nine locks to open in Resident Evil 2 and they are a mixture of safe combinations, portable safe light sequences, and dial lock codes. Finding the solutions to these safes is simple enough, but it does require a lot of backtracking and the portable safes require trial and error. While this is all good and well on a first playthrough to experience the game, players looking to shave off precious minutes of a speedrun will want to have all the codes and combinations on-hand. All safes contain an upgrade for a weapon, though not all upgrades are found in a safe. Check out guide on guns and upgrade locations for a complete list of every weapon and part.
