Resident Evil Village: Code For The Workshop Combination Lock
Theoretically, a guide giving the code doesn't need anything except the numbers. It would be the shortest guide ever, but also would be rather unhelpful. Part of what makes Resident Evil Village such a complex game isn't the "what." It's also the "where," "how," and "when." These are all important pieces in unlocking doors, finding secret areas, and, yes, using combinations.
The workshop isn't accessible right away and it can take players some time to find it. That's when the developers decided to get a little bit sneaky and hide the code in plain sight, so long as the viewer is looking at it all from the correct direction. It's good to applaud new ideas in a genre of gaming that desperately needs ideas besides weirder and weirder zombie shapes.
The entrance to the workshop is clearly labeled in the village on the map, but it's not immediately apparent how to get in there. Many of these squares are available by rooftop or tunnels inside of neighboring homes. Many pro gamers have a tough time getting in because they see a lock with no key and a red "DO NOT ENTER" sign.
Many times, these two hints are indicators that players aren't permitted to enter that area yet. Not this time! The lock on the door can be broken simply by stabbing it or shooting at it.
The workshop is on the left side when entering this area. It's also easy to miss because it has seen better days and has clearly been out of commission for longer than the outbreak has been in effect for. The workshop itself is a smaller building than the storage shed it has on the right.
Upon entering the workshop, there is a seemingly innocent piece of paper with a picture on it on a table directly in front of Ethan. Pick it up and flip it over. The message reads "Look out the window."
It's very important to take this advice literally. Many gamers are getting hung up at this point because they'll walk outside and find two numbers. But the code can only be gathered fully and in order from the inside while looking outside.
When first looking outside, a zombie is scripted to pop up and attack. The door is wide open, so deal with this attack before finding the code and opening up the cabinet on the left.
- The code for the workshop cabinet is 070408.
With the threat out of the way, look out the window. On the red brick wall to the left, there's an "07." In the middle, painted with yellow on the window itself, is an "04." And then a grey tarp on the right has an "08." Put them together and the code is 070408.
There is an item in here that Ethan will need to lift up the jack on a tractor blocking the way forward in a few moments. But, more importantly, there is an M1911 handgun here as well. Those who are sick of the weakness from the default pistol will want to try giving this a shot as many experts find it is a significant upgrade.
Congrats on cracking into the safe and enjoy the new weaponry!
