Resident Evil 2 Mr. Raccoon locations guide: Vermin Exterminator

Resident Evil 2 is available now and we’ve got a guide that’ll help you find all of its adorable Mr. Raccoon collectibles.

We’ll try to make our guides as spoiler free as possible — story beats will largely be skipped, but item and room names won’t be — so rest assured we won’t ruin anything for you. With that in mind, let’s get to it!

You won’t be able to get each collectible in one playthrough, so we’ve made two lists — all those for those that Leon can get (including his exclusives) and the same style for Claire. If you shoot a Mr. Raccoon, it will be ‘collected’ and will look as such in any subsequent playthrough afterward (so if you shoot one as Leon, it will remain shot as Claire).

Be aware that there is also a point of no return at one stage of the game — clearly indicated by your character — so make sure you grab these collectibles before you continue past that point.

So far, we’ve found 14 of 15 Mr. Raccoons and will update this post as we find the last one; we’re thinking it could be exclusive to Hardcore mode, though that’s total speculation on our part.

Leon’s list | Claire’s list

Resident Evil 2 Mr. Raccoon locations — Leon

Police Station (before announced point of no return)

#1 — Firing Range (B1): If you weren’t looking for Mr. Raccoons, this is likely the first one you’ll see. It’s near the back of the actual range, and near a file that details Mr. Raccoons themselves. This can be found by both characters.

#2 — Entrance (1F; 2nd Game only): This is likely the last Mr. Raccoon you’ll actually collect, as it’s at the very beginning of either Leon or Claire’s 2nd Game. After making it to the RPD and moving through the graveyard, go up and down some stairs and look along the left-hand side. This can be found by both characters.

#3 — West Office (1F): Look to the top of the shelves to the right of Leon’s desk. This can be found by both characters.

#4 — Break Room (1F): Head to the back of the room and look beside the leftmost bunk bed, behind the duffle bag. This is a Leon-only collectible.

#5 — S.T.A.R.S. Office (2F): Look to the back corner of the room, near Rebecca’s desk. It’s to the right of her First Aid Kit pack, behind a computer monitor. This can be found by both characters.

#6 — Hallway near Chief’s Office (2F): Hard to miss — it’s on a sidetable near the stairs. This can be found by both characters.

#7 — Hallway behind Clock Tower (3F): Go all the way to the end of the hallway and look to the left; on a window sill. This can be found by both characters.

Sewer Entrance (MISSABLE. Before playing as Ada; before announced point of no return)

#8 — Immediately after Giant Alligator: Before going up the ladder and joining Ada, look behind you. It’s on a ledge, beyond some rubbish. This is a Leon-only collectible.

Sewers as Ada (MISSABLE. Before announced point of no return)

#9 — Incinerator: To the right of the actual incinerator itself. This is an Ada-only collectible.

Sewers (after playing as Ada; before announced point of no return)

#10 — Hallway before Supplies Storage Room (Lower): After heading up the stairs, look to the left; it’s to the left of the table that’s there. This can be found by both characters.

Laboratory (after announced point of no return)

#11 — Cafeteria (B1): On a table at the back of the room. This can be found by both characters.

#12 — Nap Room (B1): After turning the power back on with the Signal Modulator, the beds on the side of the wall will open up. Look on the right-hand side of the bed furthest away from the door. This can be found by both characters.

Resident Evil 2 Mr. Raccoon locations — Claire

#5 — Hallway near Chief’s Office (2F): Hard to miss — it’s on a sidetable near the stairs. This can be found by both characters.

#6 — East Storage Room (3F): In the room off to the side; look on a shelf near the only door. This is a Claire-only collectible that needs the Heart Key.

#7 — Hallway behind Clock Tower (3F): Go all the way to the end of the hallway and look to the left; on a window sill. This can be found by both characters.

Behind RPD (before announced point of no return)

#8 — Bus after Basketball Court: On the way to the orphanage, look immediately right of the bus’ door, towards the windscreen. This is a Claire-only collectible.

Orphanage (MISSABLE; before announced point of no return)

#9 — Nursery (2F): While you can see this as Sherry, you won’t be able to collect it. As Claire, enter the Nursery and immediately look to the white shelves in front of you. This is a Claire-only collectible.
