What to know
- You must obtain the BSAA Container Key while playing as Leon in Raccoon City.
- There are three BSAA containers required for the Crate Expectations trophy/achievement.
- Each container contains high-value loot, including a sniper rifle, a motorcycle, and rare upgrade items.
- The final container only becomes accessible after completing the garage and fuel objective.
In Resident Evil Requiem, the BSAA containers are special locked crates scattered across Leon’s Raccoon City section. Finding all of them unlocks the Crate Expectations trophy/achievement, and each one provides major gameplay advantages. You cannot open any of them without first progressing the story far enough to obtain the key, so timing matters.
Below is a complete, up-to-date breakdown of where to find the key and all three BSAA containers.
All BSAA containers locations and items
| Requirement | Location | What You Get | Required for Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSAA Container Key | Raccoon City (Leon story segment) | Access to all BSAA containers | Yes |
| Container #1 | Downward-facing highway between crashed cars | Marksman 1A sniper rifle + ammo | Yes |
| Container #2 | Central camp after crane shortcut | Motorcycle + repair kit | Yes |
| Container #3 | Near starting area after garage fuel section | Sniper-exclusive charm + legendary bracelet | Yes |
How to get the BSAA Container Key in Raccoon City
You cannot access any BSAA crate without the key. The BSAA Container Key is obtained during Leon’s campaign in Raccoon City, shortly after a major cutscene where BSAA operatives are eliminated.
As you progress naturally through the story, you will witness the aftermath of a failed BSAA operation. Immediately following this sequence, the key becomes obtainable in the same area. Make sure you thoroughly search the surroundings before advancing too far, as missing it will prevent you from opening the containers until you backtrack.
Once the key is in your inventory, all marked BSAA crates can be opened.
1st BSAA container location on the collapsed highway
The first container appears during the highway segment.
Step 1
Advance through the Raccoon City streets until you reach a downward-sloping highway filled with wrecked vehicles.
Step 2
Carefully move between the piled-up cars. Enemies may still patrol the area, so clear threats before exploring.
Step 3
Look in between the stacked and crashed vehicles along the slope. The BSAA container is positioned in a partially blocked section of the road.
Step 4
Use the key to unlock it.
Inside, you receive the Marksman 1A sniper rifle and sniper ammunition, giving you access to long-range precision combat much earlier than usual. This dramatically improves your survivability in open combat areas.
2nd BSAA container location at the central camp
The second crate is tied to a progression puzzle involving heavy machinery.
Step 1
Continue through the story until you reach the central camp area.
Step 2
Operate the crane mechanism to create a shortcut. This action restructures the environment and opens a new path.
Step 3
After creating the shortcut, search the newly accessible camp section.
Step 4
Locate the BSAA container positioned within the reorganized camp layout and unlock it with the key.
This container provides two essential rewards. You receive a motorcycle, which is required to exit this entire section of the game, and a repair kit that is tied to a main story objective. Without interacting with this crate, you cannot complete the segment as intended.
3rd BSAA container location after the garage section
The last container becomes available only after significant progression.
Step 1
Complete the garage section of Leon’s story.
Step 2
Acquire fuel for the can as part of the main objective. This is mandatory before the final container becomes accessible.
Step 3
After finishing the fuel requirement, return toward the area where Leon’s Raccoon City journey originally began.
Step 4
Near this earlier location, you will find the final BSAA container waiting to be unlocked.
Inside, you receive two high-tier upgrade items. The sniper-exclusive charm enhances sniper-based builds, and the legendary bracelet provides powerful weapon upgrade bonuses, making it one of the most valuable collectibles tied to this trophy.
Complete BSAA container rewards
| Container | Key Item(s) | Gameplay Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Highway Container | Marksman 1A + sniper ammo | Unlocks early long-range combat |
| Central Camp Container | Motorcycle + Repair Kit | Required for progression and escape |
| Final Container | Sniper Charm + Legendary Bracelet | Enhances weapon upgrades and sniper builds |
All three containers must be opened in a single playthrough to unlock the Crate Expectations trophy/achievement.
Unlocking the Crate Expectations trophy explained
The Crate Expectations trophy/achievement unlocks immediately after opening the third and final BSAA container, provided you have opened the other two during the same run. There are no additional requirements beyond unlocking all containers.
Because the second container contains mandatory progression tools, most players will naturally open at least one crate. However, missing the first or final container is easy if you rush through the highway or fail to backtrack after the garage fuel objective.
Careful exploration is key.
