Resident Evil Requiem is a survival horror game, which means that you’ll want to scavenge every resource available to you. That includes lockpicking every locked drawer you can find in the care center. Finding the lockpicks to unlock these drawers can be tricky, and that’s where our handy guide comes in.
All Lockpick Locations in Resident Evil Requiem
Here are the locations of every lockpick you can find in the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center.
Custodian’s Office (West Wing)
The custodian’s office can be accessed after obtaining a level 1 wristband and unlocking the door past the kitchen. To get the wristband, use the organ transport box in the examination room in the east wing of the care center first.
After that, you can enter the custodian’s office and open one of the two lockers to find the lockpick.
Office Room (West Wing)
The first lockpick can be picked up from the desk in the office on the second floor of the west wing, right beside the records room. You can use the stairs opposite the custodian’s office to reach this room.
Lead Researcher’s Office (East Wing)
This lockpick can be picked up in the lead researcher’s office in the east wing of the care center, which is where you’ll find the second puzzle box. The lockpick is placed on top of the cabinet as you enter the office.
Basement
After Grace enters the basement to find Emily, you can pick up a lockpick inside a tunnel that connects the workshop and inspection area together.
To access this area, you can either use the square socket wrench in the workshop to open the vents, or use a joint plug at the outlet on the west side of the furnace room.
Basement Boiler Room
The final lockpick can be picked up from the boiler room in the basement. You’ll find it as you round a corner opposite the broken fence. Beware, though, as the Girl will be constantly chasing and haunting you through this section.
All Simple Lock Locations in Resident Evil Requiem
After finding all the lockpicks, you’ll want to backtrack and open every locked drawer scattered across the care center. Here are the locations of every simple lock you can break with the lockpics:
1: East Wing lobby - The simple lock is located on the right side of the lobby as you enter it, across the Mr. Raccoon statue.
2: West Wing hallway - This simple lock can be found right at the elbow after exiting the kitchen into a dark hallway, which connects to the dining room. The drawer is on the northwest side of the west wing hallway.
3: Chairman’s office - This simple lock is situated right outside the chairman’s office beside its entrance.
4: Basement bunkroom - The next simple lock is located on the east side of the bunkroom, identifiable as one of the blue lockers. You can enter this area by using a joint plug outside the boiler room.
5: Basement inspection room - The final simple lock can be found after using the forklift key and using a joint plug in the inspection room. Enter the next area with the meat hangers, and on the eastern side, you’ll find a blue locker to use the lockpick on.
