Your guide to the Ace Key in Resident Evil Outbreak File #2. Learn its purpose, location, and what it unlocks on EASY, NORMAL, HARD, and VERY HARD difficulties.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the 'Desperate Times' scenario in Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 and you've stumbled upon the Ace Key. Let's figure out what this little guy does and where to find it, shall we? ### Purpose The Ace Key is your ticket to a locked safe located on the 2F East Hall side, in the Waiting Room. What's inside that safe really depends on how tough you want the game to be: * EASY & NORMAL: You'll find a fully loaded MAGNUM HANDGUN and a Submachine Gun Magazine. Nice haul! * HARD: Just a fully loaded MAGNUM HANDGUN. Still pretty sweet. * VERY HARD: This is where things get interesting. The safe contains the Ruby Plate, which is crucial for solving that statue puzzle later on. ### Location Now, where do you actually pick up this key? * EASY, NORMAL, & HARD: You'll find the Ace Key in the Kennel. It's in the third cell, where you'll find Tony. This happens after you've placed all five plates in the main hall and the zombie invasion countdown has started. Keep an eye out! * VERY HARD: Things are a bit different here. The key is located on the other side of the Waiting Room, near the Entrance Hall, and you can grab it *before* the countdown even begins. You'll need to push a crate from the 2F East Hall side of the barricade to get to it on the Entrance Hall side. Definitely a bit of a puzzle in itself! Good luck out there!
