What does 'the door is warped and won't open' mean in Resident Evil Requiem?

It’s time to embrace the fear in Resident Evil Requiem, especially when playing as inexperienced FBI agent Grace Ashcroft.

While series veteran Leon S. Kennedy is back to his ass-kicking ways, Grace has to scavenge for every item and bullet she can to survive the horrors within Rhodes Hill Chronic Care center. This means exploring every option, opening every locked door and drawer, and keeping your head on a swivel.

While exploring the creepy hospital, Grace will come across some warped doors that she cannot open. We’ve got the info you need on how and when you can get them open, and what you need to get whatever’s behind them.

While playing as Grace in Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, you will come across several doors and closets that say “the door is warped and won’t open.” Grace is unable to open these, but fear not, because there is a solution.

Any of these doors that you come across will be marked on your map, and eventually, you will be able to explore the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center as Leon. He can open these doors with his hatchet. This allows Leon to loot items from the closets and also reach areas that Grace cannot.

When you swap scenarios after a while and are able to explore Rhodes Hill as Leon, check your map for icons that denote where these closets or doors are. You can then head there as Leon to open them and reap the rewards inside.

It’s important to reiterate that Grace cannot open these doors, but Leon can. So, while playing as Grace, inspect the doors and then continue on your journey so that Leon can open them when you play as him a bit later. Don’t bother looking for an item or tool for Grace to open them because it doesn’t exist.
