Many players struggle when trying to open the suitcase located in the S.T.A.R.S. office at the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD) in Resident Evil 9: Requiem. This suitcase, which looks surprisingly pristine amid the chaos, is one of the game’s most puzzling challenges, as no file contains a direct clue to the code. We’ve figured out how to do it so you don’t have to guess.

Below, we provide the suitcase’s location, the correct code to open it, and a description of the reward.

Location of the S.T.A.R.S. Office RPD Suitcase

The briefcase is located in the S.T.A.R.S. office on the second floor of the ruined RPD building. Go to the armory at the back of the office, and you’ll find the briefcase in one of the open lockers.

How to open the STARS Office RPD suitcase

If you’ve already examined the suitcase, you may have noticed that its code consists of three letters. Trying to guess the combination without a hint could take a long time.

In fact, the solution to this puzzle can be found on the back of one of the most valuable items that belonged to Albert Vesk himself.

The correct code to open the suitcase is: R-R-R

Reward from the RPD Suitcase

Once you enter the correct code (R-R-R), the suitcase will open. Your reward will be the Power Shades Charm. Inspired by the iconic glasses worn by the villain Albert Vesk, this charm can be attached to the Requiem or certain other post-game bonus weapons.

How to Use Power Shades Charm

This charm provides a powerful effect: limitless bullet penetration for the Requiem, as well as increased firepower for the last round in the magazine. To get the most out of this charm, try to keep your ammo count low and only reload your weapon when it is completely empty.
