Resident Evil 3 hip pouches are great upgrades to find, as they're used to expand your inventory size so you can carry more items with you at once. There are a total of six Resident Evil 3 hip pouch locations, and for each one you successfully collect you'll gain two additional slots in your inventory. By boosting Jill's available space significantly, you'll have room for many of the Resident Evil weapons and gun upgrades that can be found along the way, giving you a solid advantage. Some of them are locked to optional puzzles, while others are hidden off the beaten track, which means it's not a simple task to get them all. However, I'm here to show you how to get all of the hip pouches in the RE3 Remake, so you can expand you inventory to its maximum size.

Hip Pouch 1 location - Subway Power Station

You'll find your first Resident Evil 3 hip pouch in the Subway Power Station Control Room when you're on the way to reactive the power. It's just on a ladder to the right as you go in. The Control Room is also a Resident Evil 3 safe room so take a moment to catch your breath and sort out your new pockets.

The second Resident Evil 3 hip pouch you can get is actually in the Subway Station entrance you start in. You'll have to work for it though is it's inside the weird clock and you'll need to find the blue Resident Evil 3 gem to open it. You'll find that inside a Fancy Box in the supermarket here:

Examine the box to get at the jewel inside and then use it on the clock to get the hip pouch.

You'll see the third Resident Evil 3 hip pouch right at the start of the Sewer level, through a window. You won't be able to reach it though until you've got the battery that opens the doors here. Once you have it, head to the Control Room on the Upper Waterway part of the map to finally get the pouch. 

Hip Pouch 4 location - Police Station West Office

The forth hip pouch you can collect as Carlos while you're exploring the RCPD building. It's locked behind one of the Resident Evil 3 lockers codes and safe combinations in the West Office and, fortunately, not only do you not need to find the combination to open it, it's the same one used in Resident Evil 3 - Left 9, Right 15, Left 7.

Hip Pouch 5 - Hospital Lobby 

(Image credit: Capcom)

The fifth Resident Evil 3 hip pouch, which is the second you find as Carlos, is a weird one. You can find it in the back room of the hospital lobby while Carlos is fighting off a zombie horde breaking through the windows. You'll only be able to reach it once a Hunter Beta breaks open the doors though, so wait for that fun moment. What makes it super odd is that you find this in the last few minutes of playing as Carlos and never really use it, making it all a bit pointless.

Hip Pouch 6 - Underground Storage

The six and final Resident Evil 3 hip pouch can be found in the safe room you'll find in the Underground Storage area you reach just after using the giant lift. It's on a small cabinet just to the left as you go in so grab it before you move on.
