Tyrant gets disemboweled in Resident Evil 2 for PS4.
by Anjorin Isaac
The remake of Resident Evil 2 is much more than just an HD remaster. While fans of the original will feel like they’re in familiar territory, they’ll be met with new puzzles, new enemies, and new secrets to discover. Our Resident Evil 2 walkthrough covers how to unlock all extras and achieve the S+ rank in every scenario.
The following Resident Evil 2 cheats apply to the 2019 remake for PS4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
How to See Every Ending in Resident Evil 2
There are four main scenarios in Resident Evil 2, each with their own unique ending. Like the original game, players initially have the option to play as Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield. Whichever character you choose, the puzzles and enemies you’ll encounter will be largely the same, but you’ll meet different characters and use different weapons. Leon’s scenario is slightly more difficult because there are two additional boss fights.
Complete the game as Claire or Leon to unlock an alternate scenario for the other character. In the B scenarios, some puzzle solutions are different, and you will traverse certain locations in a different order. There is also a new end boss you must defeat to see the “true” ending.
How to Unlock Everything in Resident Evil 2
When you unlock a secret weapon, it will appear in the item box during your next playthrough. New game modes will appear in the main menus. Unlock secrets by completing the specified tasks:

How to See Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil 2
While exploring the sewers in any of the main scenarios, you’ll find a roll of film in the upper-floor workroom. Backtrack to the police station darkroom to develop the film, which will reveal a picture of a desk next to a flag.
Go to the S.T.A.R.S. office and inspect the suspicious desk to discover a wooden box. Examine it to reveal an upgrade for your weapon. Now, check the same drawer on the desk again to find yet another roll of film. Develop it to see a photo of Rebecca Chambers from the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero.
