     Resident Evil 2 FAQ from www.GameFAQs.com.

Alternate Costumes
from Mike Leverone (mike.lev@snet.net) and Pat Jandro (PawnMan976@aol.com)
     To get the special costumes you must do the following.

     Start a new game on normal difficulty. Don't pick up anything. When you
     get to the gate that leads to the police station go down the stairs.
     Down there will be Brad Vickers, the pilot from Resident Evil (he's a
     ZOMBIE!) Head past him and go up the stairs. Get the herb from the
     bushes closest to the stairs. Go in the R.P.D. and get the bullets at
     the desk in the back of the room. Go back to Brad and fill that damb
     zombie full of bullets. Inspect him and take the special key.

     When you get to the dark room there are some lockers, use the key to
     unlock one and get the costumes. With Claire you get a cool denim jaket
     and the Colt S.A.A. gun. With Leon you either can choose a leather
     jacket with a skull on the back or a tank top and a baseball hat.

     Note: The quickest way to kill Brad is to get close then walk
     backwards. Let him lunge at your feet then stomp him in the head. This
     saves a lot of bullets and only takes away 1/8th of you health.

Bonus Weapons
from josef@net-communication.de
     If you finish the game in 2 1/2 hours or less on mission A and get a
     rank of A or B, you will get the rocket launcher with infinite rounds.

     On Mission B you have two options: If you finish the game with an A or
     B ranking and under 3 hours, you'll get infinite sub-machine gun. If
     you finish the game with an A or B ranking in under 2 1/2 hours you
     will get infinite rocket launcher sub-machine gun and the almighty
     gatling gun.

Extra Ammo
from Rusty James (rustyjames14@hotmail.com)
     When you are playing as Leon and get the custom parts for a gun don't
     use them right away. Instead, use all of that ammo up first and then
     combine them with the custom parts. Bam! Your weapon is full to its
     mqaximum. Who should say no to free ammo?

Film "D"
from Y.Kanno (kanno@ix.netcom.com)
     To get film "D", go to the STARS room, second floor of the Police
     building, and check the desk on the left 50 times. It is a picture of
     Rebecca.

Hidden Shotgun Shells
from Tim G. (fieldy01@hotmail.com)
     You get the shells in the room where you use the two red jewels. Once
     the camera angle changes check the two crates with one stacked on top
     of the other.

One-Hit Gator Kill
from Mike Leverone (mike.lev@snet.net)
     When you fight the gator boss, he starts coming towards you and you see
     a yellow light on the left wall. If you inspect the light a cylinder
     will fall and the gator will eat it. While the cylinder is in its
     mouth, shoot it and the gator will explode!

Play as Hunk
from Mikey Cafarelli Jr. and many more
     To play as Hunk, beat the A and B games of either character (Leon or
     Claire) with an A rating on both. Hunk is one of the SWAT members from
     Umbrella who's mission is to get to the roof-top from the sewers.

Play as Tofu
from Casey Morris and many more
     To play as Tofu (very strange), you beat 6 scenarios with an A ranking.
     Tofu's mission is the same as Hunk's -- get to the rooftop from the
     sewers. However, it's much harder this time as Tofu is only armed with
     a knife and cannot use guns!

Ranking System
from Steven Lowery and Frank Talia
     To get an A ranking, beat the game in under three hours and don't use
     any First Aid sprays. (You can use herbs, though.)

     To get a B ranking, just beat the game in under three hours.

     To get a C ranking, finish the game in five to seven hours.

     For a D rating, finish the game in seven hours or more. Note that your
     rank will be lowered by one grade if you use any special weapons or if
     you saved more than 12 times.

Reserve Power Control
from GameMaxer@webtv.net and POL1SH@aol.com
     To activate reserve power, enter the sequence UP, DOWN, UP, UP, DOWN or
     UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, UP.

Safe Combination
     The combination for the safe is 2236.

Super Stamina
from Tinman (justi@aol.com)
     For limited invulnerability, mix green, red and blue herbs.
