How to get the STARS briefcase code in Resident Evil Requiem

The STARS case code in Resident Evil Requiem appears in the police station, requires some detective work to figure out. That's assuming it works, as a critical part can sometimes not spawn preventing you from completing it. That happened to me initially and I was only able to finally open it when I reloaded a save and went back. If that does happen to you have two options - reload a save and revisit the area like I did, or just use the combination below - you don't need to solve the puzzle to open the case, the code will work anyway. Whatever you want to do I've got the code and the steps to get it covered below.

How to get the Resident Evil Requiem STARS office case code

You'll find the locked case in the locker room at the back of the old STARS office in the RCP building. It has a three letter combination lock, but you'll find no obvious clues for the code initially the code might be in RE Requiem.

Opening the case will unlock a Power Shades charm for the Requiem which gives you unlimited bullet penetration, and increases the firepower of the last round. That's a pretty useful thing to have as it enhances an already ridiculously OP weapon.

To get the STARS case code you need to do this:

1. Check the note on the desk nearest the locker room with the case to find a note from Barry, which mentions a library book and that the captain had it last.
2. Go into the small corner office with the STARS photo and check the drawer in the ornate desk. You'll find a library card saying Wesker had the book last and it was checked back into the library.
3. Go to the library, head up the stairs and over the bridge. You should see a book you can interact with immediately on your right.
4. Open the book and you'll find that picture of Rebecca Chambers. Again.

5. Flip the photo though and you'll find a note that says Rising Rookie Rebecca, which gives us the code RRR.
6. Open the case and you'll get the Requiem Power Shades charm.

If this quest is bugged for you, then you'll find the desk in the office will be empty when you open it. Without the library card the book won't appear and there's not much more you can do. That happened to me but, fortunately, when I went back to doublecheck a few days later, and reloaded a save, the library card magically appeared in the already opened drawer.
