Checkpoint

The Civilian Checkpoint is a location that appears in Resident Evil 5. It is the starting location of Chapter 1-1, and by effect, the entire game. It is the arrival point of BSAA agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar.

There are no enemies here, but there are Kijuju citizens wandering about, some of them behaving aggressively. One man repeatedly bludgeons a living creature in a sack before turning around to glare at Chris and Sheva. It is unclear if these people have already been infested with Las Plagas or if this is their typical behavior.

The player's only objective in this location is to proceed to the butcher shop to meet an informant named Reynard Fisher. If both players idle for a while, it will initiate a conversation between Chris and Sheva about his thoughts on the U.S.

The next area of the game is the Back Alley. Resident Evil 5 locations
