The dark and treacherous corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department hold many secrets, but none are quite as peculiar as the hidden Mr. Raccoon bobbleheads scattered throughout the Resident Evil 2 remake. Tracking down all fifteen of these elusive toys rewards players with the highly coveted unbreakable combat knife, a game-changing tool for subsequent survival runs. Finding every single one requires a strategic approach since they are split across multiple characters, scenarios, and secret paths.
The Police Station Hidden Figures
The vast majority of the collectibles are tucked away inside the iconic police station during the initial hours of your campaign. You can spot the first figurine on a desk in the West Office on the first floor, surrounded by piles of unorganized paperwork. Another statue is positioned safely inside the S.T.A.R.S. Office on the second floor, resting quietly behind a computer monitor on the far side of the room.
As you explore further into the structure, you must keep your ears open for the distinct mechanical clicking sound that these toys emit when you are nearby. A tricky bobblehead can be found in the Break Room on the first floor, hidden on the floor behind a twin-sized mattress. If you manage to find them all, managing your resources becomes significantly easier during tough combat encounters.
Campaign Specific Bobbleheads
Completing your collection is impossible in a single run because certain figurines are entirely locked behind specific character viewpoints. While playing through Leon's unique campaign, you will find a hidden mascot shortly after entering the gloomy Sewers area. Claire also has access to exclusive zones, such as the orphanage, where a toy sits on a shelf inside the playroom. Balancing your playtime between both protagonists is essential to checking off every target on your checklist.
Furthermore, you cannot forget about the secondary characters who briefly become playable during the narrative arc. When controlling Ada Wong during Leon's segment, a figurine is tucked away on a ledge near the massive incinerator room. Similarly, Claire's segment allows you to grab a well-hidden collectible that can only be reached during a second playthrough scenario.
The Final Stretch in the Laboratory
Once you descend into the high-tech underground laboratory known as NEST, the final set of collectibles becomes available. You should head directly to the Cafeteria area, where a bobblehead sits on a counter next to a dark microwave oven. The final toy is located inside the Nap Room, but accessing it requires players to first retrieve the Signal Modulator to restore power to the circuit breaker.
Destroying the final statue triggers an instant automatic save, unlocking your special reward across all current and future gameplay profiles. This permanent upgrade completely transforms how you approach knife tactics when fighting off the terrifying infected hordes.
