"Sturdy pieces of wood that can be used to board up windows. Perfect for keeping the riffraff out."

Wooden Boards are key items in the Resident Evil 2 remake.

Purpose[]

Wooden Boards are used to board up windows around the Raccoon Police Station's ground floor so Zombies can't enter from outside.

Locations[]

A maximum of eight wooden boards can be recovered in a playthrough, appearing in the following locations:

Windows[]

There are a maximum of twelve windows in the Raccoon Police Station that can be boarded up, though this is lowered to eight for Claire (1st run) which has limited access to the east wing. Only nine windows will ever actually be breached, each by two Zombies, meaning as many as eighteen Zombies will enter the station over a playthrough. Because of both the limited number of boards and the red herrings, Leon and Claire (2nd run) players will always suffer at least one breach and will waste wooden boards if they have not ascertained which windows can be reached.

Windows which can be entered through by Zombies are:

  • 3 windows in the west side ground floor corridor, between the Records Room, and Operations Room. One Zombie will breach the window closest to the Operations room during the first pass through this area.
    • In 1st run, for every window not boarded up before the helicopter crash, two more Zombies will enter the hallway after the crash, with the exception of the window closest to the Operations Room which will only produce one more Zombie.
    • In 2nd run, the Zombies will enter this hallway after the Tyrant's second appearance.
  • 1 window on the west side ground floor at the base of the staircase outside of the Dark-room.
    • In 1st run, the player will find a Zombie banging against this window and it will be breached if it is not boarded up quickly. If the window is never boarded up, a second Zombie will enter through this window at a later point.
    • In 2nd run, the Zombie will breach this window immediately before the player has any chance to board it up.
  • 1 window on the east side ground floor between the East Office and Fire Escape.
    • In 1st run, one Zombie will breach this window after the player character witnesses Elliott's demise. If this window has not been boarded up before the helicopter crash, a second Zombie will enter through this window after the crash.
    • In 2nd run, a Zombie will breach this window after the player first enters the area through the Fire Escape.
  • 1 window in the East Office. The player will enter to see a Zombie banging against a window in the center of the room.
  • (Leon's 1st and 2nd runs and Claire's 2nd run) 2 windows in the east side ground floor corridor, between the Parking Garage and the Watchman's Room. These windows are only a factor in both of Leon's scenarios and on Claire's 2nd run. In Claire's 1st run, you never reach this area of the station. The player will find one Zombie banging on the second window closest to the staircase immediately after emerging from the parking garage for the first time. A second Zombie will appear later on, after the Tyrant has appeared, and attack the second closest window to the Watchman's room.
  • 1 window in the ground floor corridor between the Interrogation Room and staircase. The player will find a Zombie already banging against this window.
