Overview
- Rock Paper Shotgun (Mar 6) and Polygon (Mar 5) published step-by-step coverage of the Raccoon City Center chapter, spanning the RPD, the Orphanage and the descent toward the subway.
- The guides detail Mr. X/Tyrant sequences, from a station escape to a boss fight that punishes his chest/heart weak point with timely parries and close-range bursts.
- The Orphanage flashback is mapped as a stealth segment with clear hiding cues and a path through a chapel to lab files that deepen background context.
- Puzzle solutions and callbacks are compiled, including Barry Burton’s scavenger hunt to JoJo’s locker and the S.T.A.R.S. armory briefcase, alongside STARS office Easter eggs.
- Key loot locations are flagged at the RPD garage and Gun Shop Kendo—such as the W870 Police shotgun, tracking modules, scope upgrades, a med injector and a shotgun charm—with tunnel tactics culminating in Plant 43’s defeat and the route opening toward ARK.
