In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in Raccoon City

One of the series' most beloved and critically acclaimed survival-horror games makes a triumphant return to the current generation of consoles. Resident Evil 2 Remake It's everything rebuilding a gaming classic should be. That's why we've prepared a complete guide for those looking for tips and in-game trophies/achievements for you to survive the zombie attack on Raccoon City! 612g5s

Here is the warning that this guide contains spoilers information about the game, so read at your own risk.

Resident Evil 2 Remake: general data 5ht2w

resident evil 2 remake
  • Estimated Difficulty of Trophies: Media
  • Trophies/Achievements: 42 (no trophies/online achievements)
  • Approximate time to platinum/100%: 30 hours

Most efficient way to get trophies/achievements 5134d

Step 1: Beat the game with each character, collect all collectibles and get all combat-related trophies/achievements

Start with Leon's campaign on assisted difficulty and collect all the collectibles as you play. The reason to start in the easiest mode of the game is that one of the greatest enemies in history, the “Tyrant”, is constantly chasing you for half the game.

In normal mode it runs much faster. In assisted mode, he walks very slowly, which gives him time to look for collectibles and just get to know the game.

resident evil 2 remake

After finishing the game, you have to go to the main menu and select “New Game” to play Claire's scenario and complete it. After the move, you can go to the title menu again and choose “New Game [2nd Run]” to play Leon's B scenario. Finally, do Claire's Scenario B. B scenarios have different puzzle solutions.

Finding all the collectibles (Mr. Raccoons in particular) will gift you with a knife that never breaks, which can be very useful in subsequent playthroughs and on hardcore difficulty. For that reason you should get the collectibles first.

Step 2: Get S rank (on standard difficulty) and unlock infinite single gun ammo

To get the S ranking, the only thing you have to pay attention to is your time to complete the game's campaign. To conquer the S ranking you must finish the game in the following times, on the standard difficulty:

  • Leon A / Claire A – 3:30 on Standard, 2:30 on Hardcore
  • Leon B / Claire B – 3:00 on Standard, 2:00 on Hardcore

Please note that S rank trophies/achievements will not be unlocked on easy mode (assisted difficulty), ie you must play on standard difficulty upwards. When pausing the game, the timer also stops.

resident evil 2 remake

If you know your way around the game, these time requirements won't be a problem for you. You will unlock the Samurai Edge single weapon with infinite ammo for getting your first S rank and you will be able to use it in the play with the second character and in the play in hardcore mode!

This is why you should definitely get the S ranks before trying hardcore mode, as you can get the weapon with infinite ammo to use on higher difficulties, making the whole game play much easier.

Step 3: Hardcore Difficulty

Once you are familiar with the game and have unlocked the weapon with infinite ammo by getting S rank in normal mode, it will be much easier to play on hardcore difficulty.

resident evil 2 remake

You will have to finish the game with both characters on this difficulty. Check out the trophies/achievements related to this task below for tips that will make your gameplay easier.

Step 4: The fourth survivor

You must complete the "Survivor Room" bonus mode at least once.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Basic survival: Combine two items.

You will get this trophy/achievement automatically very early on in the game. You will be forced to combine two key items throughout the story, as well as combine herbs/ammo. You can do this in your inventory by selecting two compatible items.

In your square: Gain space in your inventory.

You will be able to increase your inventory size six times during the game when you find bags, so keep an eye out for them and search every nook and cranny!

Customizer: Customize a weapon.

You will find pairs of weapons during your turn, for example in safes. This trophy/achievement will unlock when you combine the part with your weapon. 

For example, there is a gun part that is locked on the desk in the West Office (First floor of Police Station). The combination to open the table is Left = NED / Right = MRG.

Who needs ammo?: Kill an enemy with a knife.

You will unlock a knife very early on in the game. Once that's done, just kill an enemy using it. Keep in mind that the knife, however, will get damaged with use and may break. But don't worry because you will find several others during the game.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Take that!: Fight back with a secondary weapon.

As long as you have the knife, grenade or flash grenade in your inventory you will have a chance to fight back an enemy attack, so good luck!

I want to see : Use boards to cover a window.

At the Police Station, you can find planks and use them to barricade windows. You'll see them easily, so don't worry about not finding them.

portable thief: Open a portable safe.

You can find two portable safes in the game. One of them is located in the “Shower Room”, and the other one in the “Linen Room” (both in the Police Station). To open them you will need to press 8 buttons in the correct order, which is randomized for each player.

Enjoy your food!: Shoot the grenade given to the enemy.

While you are countering your enemy and have a grenade/flash grenade equipped, you can place it in your opponent's mouth, who will be slightly stunned with the weapon stuck in their mouth. At that moment, shoot the grenade!

If you don't get this naturally during your first playthrough, you can get this trophy/achievement quickly at the beginning of Leon's or CLaire's B-scenario. In the first room you enter is a grenade, just a few seconds after starting the story in the B-scenario.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Zombie Rodeo: Kill 3 enemies at once with secondary weapons.

Toss a frag grenade at a group of 3 or more zombies. This will kill them instantly and you will get the trophy/achievement!

If you don't get this on your first playthrough, you can try again at the beginning of the B-scenario with Leon or Claire, as there is a grenade in the first room you enter at the start of the game.

It's like clay pigeon shooting: Shoot a zombie dog or carnage in the air.

Obtaining this trophy/achievement is very easy with zombie dogs or Lickers. In the campaign you will find dogs in the garage after turning on the light.

In Claire's campaign you find them on their way to the Orphanage after leaving the garage. When you see a zombie dog, keep your weapon pointed in your direction (preferably a shotgun or submachine gun) and wait for it to jump on you. Chances are high, you'll make it without trying.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

To burst the eardrums: Disable a slaughterer's hearing.

Just throw a flash grenade at a licker. For example, you'll find a Licker in the hallway that leads to the STARS Office on the 2nd floor of the Police Station (and a flash grenade is inside the office, so it's a perfect opportunity to get an early start).

Lickers are enemies that crawl along walls and attack with sharp claws and whip around their long tongues.

Hats off: Hat off the Bullet Tyrant.

After you put out the fire on the roof of the Police Station (halfway through the story with Leon/Claire), you'll find the Tyrant. “Tyrant” (aka Mr. X) will start chasing his across the police station. Simply toss the hat for the trophy. You can't kill him, just stagger around so you don't waste time and ammo.

I got you!: Defeat G (Phase 2) using Crane 1x.

This is highly missable! Make sure to save the game after placing all the chess plugs in the Sewer Monitor Room.

At the end of the sewer section you will find G for the second time. First, you will be attacked by him in a burning room. Stand next to the “high voltage box” between the metal shutter and the switch box and it won't be able to hit you.

When you reach a platform with a container, press the red button to send the container. G damage with everything you have. There's no clear health indicator, so just throw all your ammo on it. When you're almost out of ammo, swing it and press the red button on the control to call the container back.

He will hit G and knock him into the abyss. The trophy is only unlocked if he is defeated by calling Crane for the first time. If he doesn't fall, it means you didn't hurt him enough. In that case, just exit to the main menu and continue or reload the last manual save.

Don't stand in the middle of the platform as the container can hit you too. When in doubt, putting G on his knees 5 times should do enough damage for him to drop on the first Crane use.

Treasure Hunt: Find 2 items by the photo tips.

You will first have to find the film reel for this. You can find it on a table in the workroom in the sewers. Use the T-bar handle to open the valve in the lower channel (lower sewers), which leads to the workshop elevator.

Take the elevator and you'll find the film reel on a table there. Continue past the worker's break room and you'll be able to backtrack to the police station.

Go to the Dark Room to develop the movie and you will get 2 pictures of where to find hidden items. These locations are the Press Room (Police Station 1F) and STARS Office (Police Station 2F).

The universe in a pocket: Maximize inventory spaces.

spy note ten: In Ada's segment, just use the CEM Viewer.

This can only be done in Leon's campaign!

Perform a manual save after defeating the crocodile in the sewers with Leon. You will have to finish the Ada part without using her weapon to get this trophy. You will have to hack some consoles with the Viewer.

She will equip you automatically and you will be able to see the hackable devices through the walls in yellow color.

Young Runaway: In Sherry's segment, escape the room within 60 seconds.

This trophy/achievement can only be obtained in Claire's campaign!

Do a manual recording before the electrical parts puzzle in Chief Iron's “Private Collection Room” (shortly after returning from Clocktower).

When Sherry's gameplay sequence begins: turn right, pick up the stuffed animal, examine the back and find a block. Place the block in the corner of the room to start a puzzle. Now comes the tricky part!

The initial arrangement of puzzle blocks is randomized for each player. However, what the final arrangement needs to look like will always be the same. Check out the image below of what it should be at the end:

Now the good news! You can take your time to figure out how to solve your puzzle in the smallest move. The objective is simply to replicate the positions of the blocks in the figure above. Write down which starting block you moved to where.

This will likely take more than 60 seconds on the first try and thus will nullify the trophy, but there is a workaround: Exit to the main menu and click Continue. Now you reappear in Sherry's room and the timer resets, but the Puzzle Solution is still the same!

When you do the continuous "trick", it doesn't randomly select the puzzle so your previous solution still works. Redo it as quickly and as often as possible until you memorize the solution that applies to you.

The puzzle rewards you with scissors that can be used to cut a hole in the wall and escape, when the trophy should pop. If no trophies pop it means more than 60 seconds.

So just exit to the main menu again and continue, repeat until you can pull out the puzzle fast enough and earn the trophy.

With time to spare: Beat G Phase 4 with 4+ minutes to go before the explosion.

This trophy/achievement can only be obtained in Claire's campaign!

OG Phase 4 is the final boss in Claire's story. You will have 10 minutes to escape and kill the boss. Use your hardest weapons and that shouldn't be a problem. Claire gets a minigun for this fight that kills the boss quickly.

In a blink of an eye: Defeat the Super Tyrant with 5+ minutes to go before the explosion.

This trophy/achievement can only be obtained in Leon's campaign!

The Super Tyrant is the final boss in Leon's story. You will have 10 minutes to escape and kill the boss. Use your most powerful weapons and that shouldn't be a problem. You'll get a rocket launcher to finish him off after you've dealt enough damage.

Leon "S". Kennedy: Get an S in Leon's story ("Standard" or "Intense").

Same tips for the trophy/achievement “The Unbeatable Heroine” below.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

The unstoppable heroine: Get an S in Claire's story ("Standard" or "Intense").

In order to get S-Rank you must beat the game within the following time limits:

  • Leon A / Claire A – 3:30 on Standard, 2:30 on Hardcore
  • Leon B / Claire B – 3:00 on Standard, 2:00 on Hardcore

The only factor that determines your rank is how long it took you to beat the story. Nothing else matters (deaths, number of saves are irrelevant to this). You can pause the game to stop the timer if you want to take a break or watch the video walkthrough where to go next.

Warning: if you die, never choose “Continue” as it keeps counting your time and does not reset you to the last checkpoint! Always choose “Quit” and in the Title menu choose “Continue” or Load Save. This way it will revert the time back to the last checkpoint. This can save you a lot of time and makes it tremendously easier!

Intense recruit: Complete Leon's story in "Intense".

Same tips for the “Intense College” trophy/achievement below.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Intense university: Complete Claire's story in "Intense".

Going through Hardcore difficulty will be your most difficult task on your way to platinum. In it, the enemies are much tougher, you will be in Danger after an attack and you will die after a second, and you will still need to find Ink Ribbons to save your progress.

Therefore, the main tips to deal with this difficulty is to have an infinite ammo weapon, not worry about killing all enemies and use your Ink Ribbons wisely!

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

thrifty: Complete the game without using a recovery item.

To get this trophy/achievement the easiest way try to get it at the end of your playthrough in assisted mode. Use a weapon with infinite ammo, save it in a separate file and focus only on the items you need to progress in the game.

Do not use any healing items during the entire gameplay! The advantage is that when playing in assisted mode, your health automatically regenerates up to 50%, so it's not as complicated as it sounds. Also, at this difficulty level you can take 3 attacks at 50% health.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Minimalist: Complete the game without opening the chest.

By collecting the six inventory upgrades during the game you should have no problems if you already know what to get and where to go. Be aware that you will not be able to use weapons with infinite ammo in this playthrough because they can only be obtained from the item box. Try to get this trophy/achievement by playing in assisted mode.

Resident evil 2 remake: check out the game's tips and tricks guide. In this guide we teach you how to survive the zombie apocalypse in raccoon city

Not one more step!: Take 14000 or fewer steps in the entire game.

You can check the number of steps you took at the end of the logs section when you pause the game. The record has the same name as this trophy/achievement. Finish the game quickly and focus on doing only what is necessary, that is, avoid walking more than you need to!

B-scenarios are shorter but you can try to get this trophy/achievement in A-scenarios too.

Sinister Reaper: Complete "The Fourth Survivor" mode.

This one will test your patience, game skill and your luck. In the 4th Survivor you play as Hunk and have to fight your way through the sewers to the main entrance to the police station, obviously having to take the longest path each time since your fastest way ever is blocked.

You start with 4 weapons, some ammo and some healing items, as well as some defensive items and gunpowder. In the video below, you will see how to finish it:
