As you navigate toward the Raccoon City Police Department, prepare for a significant combat encounter with Brad Vickers, who has succumbed to the T-Virus infection. This formidable opponent demands substantial ammunition expenditure, but the reward justifies the resource investment—successfully eliminating him grants access to the crucial S.T.A.R.S. ID Card. Strategic positioning and aiming for headshots can conserve ammunition during this challenging confrontation.

Following the engagement, reverse your direction toward the cemetery area. Take the right-hand staircase descending to discover an accessible doorway. Inside this chamber, you’ll locate the Email Outbox file, providing additional narrative context. Ascend the distant staircase to find handgun ammunition within a wooden container alongside a red herb, valuable for crafting enhanced healing items.

Veterans of Resident Evil 2 Remake will immediately recognize the RPD’s main hall layout, featuring the familiar typewriter and Item Box conveniently positioned near the entrance. Ascend the minor staircase at the room’s center to collect a green herb. Proceed to the upper level, turning right and advancing along the walkway to its terminus to acquire additional handgun ammunition.

Scan the left-side wall carefully to spot a Charlie Doll perched inconspicuously. These collectibles contribute to unlocking special rewards and should be prioritized during exploration. The main hall serves as a central hub connecting multiple areas, making thorough initial exploration crucial for resource acquisition.

Don't skip the Charlie Doll in the back of the Safety Deposit Room, up on a shelf.

Within the Reception zone, examine the left-side couch thoroughly to discover the ID Card Security Protocols file. Utilize your acquired S.T.A.R.S. ID Card to unlock the secured storage container, yielding valuable assault rifle ammunition. Exit through the forward doorway and navigate the corridor leading toward the Operations Room.

Remain vigilant for zombie threats throughout this section—one adversary will emerge from around a corner ahead, another will shatter through a window, while a third will burst through the Operations Room entrance as you approach. Master the dodge mechanic or employ strategic knockdowns to create safe passage routes through these confined spaces.

As you leave the Subway Tunnel, you'll pass some alcoves with beds and benches. This Charlie Doll is hidden in the last one on the right.

Collect the flash grenade positioned beside the podium and the Assault Rifle Ammo resting on the table in the subsequent chamber. The vending machine area presents additional zombie confrontations—these enemies can quickly overwhelm unprepared players. Maintain situational awareness and be prepared to execute tactical retreats, utilizing doorways as defensive chokepoints.

Investigate the northern corridor on your left to locate a destructible container housing a first aid spray. Advance cautiously into the West Office, where experienced players will find familiar territory.

The safe in the West Office has the same combination as in Resident Evil 2, and the same reward: a Hip Pouch.
