Guide to optional rooms in Resident Evil Outbreak, detailing items, enemies, and secrets in the Break Room, Drawing Room, Owner's Room, and Locker Room across all difficulties.

This section details optional rooms and the items or encounters found within them across various difficulties in Resident Evil Outbreak.

Break Room

On all difficulties except VERY HARD, you can find a MAP by the bin, HANDGUN ROUNDS on the far end of the table, and HANDGUN MAGAZINE under the bed. A zombie may invade this room in NORMAL/HARD/VERY HARD. In VERY HARD mode, the player can find the STORAGE ROOM KEY under the bed instead of an IRON PIPE.

Drawing Room

A crow will invade this room if you get too close to the window on all difficulties except EASY. A zombie is initially static in this room in HARD and VERY HARD mode, with potential for additional zombie invasions if they have already appeared on the first floor. A LIGHTER is on the table, which is required to create the FIRE SPRAY (David only) or can be combined with NEWSPAPER + BOTTLE for a MOLOTOV COCKTAIL. The LIGHTER is required for game progression; if used for FIRE SPRAY, a second LIGHTER must be found later. A pack of .45 BULLETS is on the chair for Kevin on all difficulties except VERY HARD. HANDGUN ROUNDS are on the floor (except EASY), and an IRON PIPE is by the corner. Alyssa can use the S-PICK to unlock a cabinet for an item. A RACCOON TODAY can also be found here. The recommended lockpick for Alyssa to unlock the shelf is as follows:

• EASY: S
• NORMAL: S
• HARD: W
• VERY HARD: W

The items she receives in return are:

• EASY: SHOTGUN
• NORMAL: HANDGUN
• HARD: HANDGUN
• VERY HARD: FIRST AID SPRAY

Owner's Room

In HARD/VERY HARD MODE, the KEY WITH BLUE TAG is found here. There are 2 GREEN HERBS in HARD/VERY HARD, and a zombie with a BLUE HERB in EASY/NORMAL. HANDGUN ROUNDS are on the ground, a SHOTGUN is by the corner, and JACK'S MEMO can be found here.

Locker Room

This room contains various items that depend on difficulty and character. A zombie may invade, so avoid lingering. Hiding in lockers can offer some protection. The DIARY OF BAR'S STAFF file is in a desk drawer. To obtain it, use the ALCOHOL BOTTLE from the WINE ROOM or LIQUOR ROOM and insert it into the wall painting to unlock the drawer. An additional item can be found in the same spot after taking the file. In EASY mode, a MAGNUM REVOLVER can be obtained early. In NORMAL mode, a SHOTGUN is available. In HARD and VERY HARD, a FORKLIFT KEY can be found.
