Resident Evil 2 Remake 2nd Floor Safe Code: Unlocking the Secrets of the Second Floor Safe

If you’re exploring the Raccoon City Police Department in Resident Evil 2 Remake, you’ll come across a sturdy safe on the 2nd floor in the Waiting Room. Cracking open these safes is essential for snagging useful upgrades and key items. The code for the 2nd Floor Waiting Room safe is:

Left 6, Right 2, Left 11

To open the safe, stand in front of it and turn the dial to the left to 6, then right to 2, and finally left again to 11. Once opened, you'll find a Muzzle Brake (for Leon) or a High-Capacity Mag (for Claire), both very handy upgrades for your pistol.

As a designer, I appreciate the way Resident Evil 2 Remake structures its level layouts, using environmental storytelling and interactive puzzles—like safes and locks—to drive player exploration and reward curiosity. This kind of thoughtful layout planning can inspire how we approach designing real-world spaces. For example, in a home or office, clear wayfinding, purposeful placement of “reward” spaces (like cozy reading nooks or collaborative hubs), and interactive features can turn ordinary interiors into engaging environments. If you want to visualize or plan spaces interactively—much like rearranging items and paths in the game—I’d recommend exploring an intuitive room planner to map out your own “levels” at home or work.

Tips 1:

Always write down or take a screenshot of safe codes as you find them. Safes often contain unique upgrades that can make a significant difference in your playthrough.
