While exploring Racoon City, Jill will occasionally run into items that will help her on her journey through the ruined cityscape. Hip pouches increase the total space by two slots with every addition. In total, players can find 6 different hip pouches hidden around the city. The locations of these vary, as some of them as easy to come across while others require the player to stray off the beaten path. These items are essential to making the best of the player’s inventory in the game. Here are the locations of all 6 hip pouch locations.

The hip pouches are useful items that can change the amount of struggle the player is willing to go through. Although, if players are looking for more of a challenge, avoiding the hip pouches is a great way to limit the player’s resources, making the game more challenging. Resident Evil 3 is another entry of remakes coming from Capcom. As the trend continues, it seems likely that the company will remake its most iconic entry in the series, Resident Evil 4. Fans will surely rejoice at the announcement of that title. To hold them down though, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are great survival horror titles.
Resident Evil 3 is available on PS4 and PC.
