Resident Evil 2 (1998)[]

Claire is one of the protagonists in Resident Evil 2. Claire starts with a Browning Hi-Power, a Knife, the Lockpick, her special item which allows the player to access lockers for items, and eight spaces in her inventory. Her exclusive weapons are the Spark Shot and the Grenade Launcher. When a zombie attempts to bite her foot, Claire will kick the head clean off. Her partner character is Sherry Birkin and because the child has no means of defending herself from enemy attacks, she's reliant on player to protect her. If Sherry dies when she's with Claire, the game will end.

In all versions, to unlock the outfits, the player must start a game in scenario A on Normal or Hard mode and follow the path to the Police Department front entrance without picking up any items, then kill zombie Brad Vickers in order to acquire the Special Key, that can be used to open the locker in the Dark Room. To compensate for her lack of a second outfit, Claire receives her own exclusive weapon, the Colt S.A.A..
