Resident Evil 2 Cheats

Resident Evil 2 cheat codes, tricks, hints, and walk throughs.

Alternate Costumes

To get the special costumes you must do the following. Start a new game on normal difficulty. Don't pick up anything. When you get to the gate that leads to the police station go down the stairs. Down there will be Brad Vickers, the pilot from Resident Evil (he's a ZOMBIE!) Head past him and go up the stairs. Get the herb from the bushes closest to the stairs. Go in the R.P.D. and get the bullets at the desk in the back of the room. Go back to Brad and fill that damb zombie full of bullets. Inspect him and take the special key. When you get to the dark room there are some lockers, use the key to unlock one and get the costumes. With Claire you get a cool denim jaket and the Colt S.A.A. gun. With Leon you either can choose a leather jacket with a skull on the back or a tank top and a baseball hat. Note: The quickest way to kill Brad is to get close then walk backwards. Let him lunge at your feet then stomp him in the head. This saves a lot of bullets and only takes away 1/8th of you health.

Bonus Weapons

If you finish the game in 2 1/2 hours or less on mission A and get a rank of A or B, you will get the rocket launcher with infinite rounds. On Mission B you have two options: If you finish the game with an A or B ranking and under 3 hours, you'll get infinite sub-machine gun. If you finish the game with an A or B ranking in under 2 1/2 hours you will get infinite rocket launcher sub-machine gun and the almighty gatling gun.

Extra Ammo

When you are playing as Leon and get the custom parts for a gun don't use them right away. Instead, use all of that ammo up first and then combine them with the custom parts. Bam! Your weapon is full to its mqaximum. Who should say no to free ammo?

Film "D"

To get film "D", go to the STARS room, second floor of the Police building, and check the desk on the left 50 times. It is a picture of Rebecca.

Hidden Shotgun Shells

You get the shells in the room where you use the two red jewels. Once the camera angle changes check the two crates with one stacked on top of the other.

Hint: Ranking System

To get an S ranking beat the game in under one hour and thirty minutes. You cannot use special weapons, weapon upgrades, and only one herb. Also, only pick each weapon up one time.
To get an A ranking, beat the game in under three hours and don't use any First Aid sprays or special weapons. (You can use herbs, though.)
To get a B ranking, just beat the game in under three hours.
To get a C ranking, finish the game in five to seven hours.
For a D rating, finish the game in seven hours or more. Note that your rank will be lowered by one grade if you use any special weapons or if you saved more than 12 times.

One-Hit Gator Kill

When you fight the gator boss, he starts coming towards you and you see a yellow light on the left wall. If you inspect the light a cylinder will fall and the gator will eat it. While the cylinder is in its mouth, shoot it and the gator will explode!

Play as Hunk

To play as Hunk, beat the A and B games of either character (Leon or Claire) with an A rating on both. Hunk is one of the SWAT members from Umbrella who's mission is to get to the roof-top from the sewers.

Play as Tofu

To play as Tofu you must beat 6 scenarios with an A ranking. Tofu's mission is the same as Hunk's -- get to the rooftop from the sewers. However, it's much harder this time as Tofu is only armed with a knife and cannot use guns!

Reserve Power Control

To activate reserve power, enter the sequence UP, DOWN, UP, UP, DOWN or UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, UP.

Safe Combination

The combination for the safe is 2236.

Super Stamina

For limited invulnerability, mix the green, blue and red herbs in that order. You MUST mix the herbs in that order, or they will not work. Green and Blue MUST be mixed together first, then you add the red herb.

Hint: Sub-Machine Gun

Play the first scenario with either character. Enter your finger print on the computer in the giant moth room. When you get to the door where you need your finger print to enter, enter your finger print and choose not to continue. Finish the game and save. Play off of the game you saved with the next character and follow the same process and put in the second finger print. The door will unlock and inside will be a few Lickers and a sub-machine gun.
