How To Open Resident Evil 2's Special Weapons Case
Special Weapons Case offers useful upgrades to anyone who can unlock it. Available to both Leon and Claire, it's a great example of how the game locks its best rewards behind its most devious puzzles. To unlock the case, you'll need to brave the dark zombie-infested halls of the Raccoon City Police Station to find the right items.
The Special Weapons Case is located in the Underground Stairs in the Underground Facility area. You'll come across this area after collecting the Police Station Medallions and opening up the hidden passage. However, the case can't be unlocked until later when you have the S.T.A.R.S Badge.

On your second run, the Bejeweled Box will be replaced by a portable safe which requires one of the game's safe combinations. Instead, both characters can find the Box while searching the Shower Room on 2F.
