Resident Evil 2 Remake was the first game in the Resident Evil series to get a full remake, and to be fair, it was an amazing remake as well. Since we are only a few days away from the release of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it is a good time to play the remake of Resident Evil 2, whether you have played the game before or not. Like all Resident Evil games, in RE2 Remake, we also see many different puzzles players must solve in order to progress through the game or gain access to a secret room. So here is how to find and use the Crank Handle Key in Resident Evil 2 Remake so you can progress through the game.

How to Find and Use Crank Handle in Resident Evil 2 Remake

As you progress through the game in Resident Evil 2 Remake, you will face many different puzzles, where you either have to figure out something or simply look for an item or key to unlock it. Square Handle Key is one that you will need in the game.

After you escape the RPD successfully, you will be led to the underground where the jail is located. This is where you will also find the Crank Handle. After you’ve explored the parking garage, go to the cell with the journalist at the end of the hallway. After watching a little cutscene, you can explore the area freely. The Crank Handle is located on top of the table opposite the jail cell.

Although bear in mind that you cannot find the Handle Crank in Claire’s campaign. In that campaign, you will enter the Break Room instead of the Generator Room. After you’ve got the Crank Handle, make your way to the corridor on the right side of Kennel.

In there, you will find the place where you can use the Crank Handle and open the gate that leads to the Generator Room. To use the Handle, simply interact with it and select the Handle from the inventory menu that pops up.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
