In this guide, we are going to take a look at how you can find inventory pouches, spare keys and all the special weapons in the game. Let’s get started.

How To Find Inventory Pouch Locations:

You can increase the inventory size by finding inventory pouches. These are scattered in various locations or are locked within safes. These are common for both campaigns. Let’s find them all!

  • Find the Diamond Key (you will find this in your normal playthrough). [Spare Keys Locations] Then you need to find two Spare Keys. One of them is the Shower Room and the second one is in S.T.A.R.S office in the Linen Room. Go back to the Safety Deposit Room, and press 203. This will unlock a safe. You will find a pouch there.
  • The table on West Storage Room. This is near the maiden statue just outside the C4 fence.
  • The safe found on the West Office of the Police Station. The code is: Left 9 | Right 15 | Left 7
  • Inside the locker, near the typewriter found in the Operators Room.
  • The table in the Sewers Workroom.
  • Use the Signal Modulator in the sleeping pod in the Laboratory’s Nap Room.

Weapons Locations Guide: 

Weapons for both characters are different but they are found in the same locations. With that in mind, let’s get started.
