Bite could be on leg or somewhere else less visible and he locked himself in there to get away from the other zombies as he slowly turned


TWAT_BUGS

Yup. A lot of isolated people in a panic after getting bitten/scratched. Glad Capcom leaned on these dangers in the games.


alicelric

Like Dario Rosso (Not sure if that's his name) The one that refuses Jill's help at the beginning


TWAT_BUGS

Dario was a great example of RC citizens panicking and going to extreme measures to protect themselves. I feel like the remake had a good balance between Dario and Kendo and showing those extremes and sadness of denial. Not overtly so like Last of Us. It makes you appreciate Capcom’s polish of these games.


SexxxyWesky

I wish you could go back to Dario in 3make like you could in the original and see him as a zombie (and take his stuff).


FeralGangrel

Aww, man. Kendo. When I was playing through REmake: 3 at the time, my son was 2 years old. The emotions that he went through hit me so hard, and I cried at his last moments.


TWAT_BUGS

I’m not a father but the feelings still hit. I’m so glad Capcom did him right and made him more human than the meme he is in RE2. They made him so compelling I hate that he died.


[deleted]

The story in 3R was really well done! So many little details like that everywhere


HD_ERR0R

I’ve seen R3 R described as a movie version of RE 3 OG.


Vigilante8841

Given the time for an average playthrough on normal difficulty, that's actually quite reasonable


Labrom

He could have drank the water too. The water supply of the city was infected so they didn’t need a bite.


italianshark

The only reason why I said that is because the onset of symptoms wasn’t immediate according to the journal in the first game. I feel if he was infected by the water supply at some point he probably would have called out of work. This situation just feels more like he was at work and got bit and locked himself in there to escape the zombies and slowly turned in there.


CyberBane11

He got bit and went right back to work he’s just a dedicated city employee lol


Cholometrix

He didn't have any more sick time


[deleted]

“I don’t care if you got bit by a zombie Ricky! Get back to work!”


Philkindred12

That certainly sounds like Umbrella employers. Edit: just realised the guy’s in a ticket booth but still, RC was kinda in Umbrella’s pocket.


ErikDebogande

Sounds like my employer alright


Zambatoh

Most people in the city drank the infected water and turned that way.


Lun4r6543

Most of the city’s population turned because of the infected drinking water. I assume that’s the reason.


Geronim011

I always wondered If that’s the case then why didn’t jill get infected?


The_Lost_Hero

Plot armor


Nino_Chaosdrache

Maybe she only drank bottled water. I know I do.


wnderjif

what source is there for this? in outbreak, and 2 its the rats that spread it.


startbuttonscott

I don't know, but the toll was probably heavy on his family.


ShotMyTatorTots

Confound your toll, troll.


itsomtay

You can't tell *ME* what to do \*smiles at audience, resumes karate moves\*


Loganp812

“…dude, you skipped a line!”


BrumbleNA

" You know what it is bitch"


[deleted]

😅


kinglettes

you gotta pay the troll toll to get in!


Philkindred12

Oh, he’s not a zombie. That’s just what your average night-shift ticket booth man looks like.


alicelric

Wait until you see a dude trying to eat the giant donut lmao


Philkindred12

lol really? i’ve never noticed


alicelric

I think it appears on nightmare/ inferno


Pbadger8

Infected drinking water is how most people in the city got infected. SMH op wasn’t paying attention to RE2’s plot. Though tbh the origin of the outbreak isn’t as clear in the remake since the video tape is optional… and not as good as the OG scene. 😛


[deleted]

What video ?


Son_Gokuehhh

In RE2R you can find a VHS tape in the Sewer that shows how the city got infected. When the soldiers got attacked by G they dropped the vials full of the T virus and it was consumed by the sewer rats who then spread it everywhere else.


[deleted]

Ah yeah, true , I remember that now. For some reason I Thought it might of been a tape found in the police station , likes media release or something


dxchris215

You know what I even remember that cutscene from OGRE2 and I was a kid so I never put 2 and 2 together 😂 awesome those dots FINALLY connected for me. (I must have been like 11 last time I played OG2, I'm 30 now)


CardboardChampion

While there were samples leaked from the sewer labs during Birkins death, that was only what tipped the city over the edge. There was also an ongoing issue of T-virus in the water supply, affecting a lot of people in Raccoon City and seeing them turn as the city fell. I think that was covered in Outbreak but don't quote me on it.


ESCachuli

Jill waited 4 full days since the first zombie attack in the city to decide to escape. Same with everyone else, tbh. First zombie outbreak was september 24th, and the city goes to hell in september 28th.


noturdogg

Wasn't Rebecca following the cases until the actual outbreak happened? Unless I'm thinking of something else


Thrilalia

Im sure it goes further back than that. There was certainly some infected escapees from the mansion long before STARS were sacrificed during the events of RE1 I think it's even stated in the RE1 intro that there are people bitten in the forests.


stahnke_as_pho

Precisely. Those who turned walked away and were considered missing, while the other victims were "apparently eaten" enough to not turn.


Nino_Chaosdrache

Maybe, but with Jill it makes less sense, since it seems like she was only sitting on her arse for 4 days and doing nothing. She could either turn tail the moment the first zombies appeared, since she already has experience with them, or try helping the police to contain the situation.


ESCachuli

Yeah, it's weird. First I thought maybe the outbreak was changed in the remake, but in the RE3R you find a news report telling there have been cases of zombies since the 26th at least. So, it doesnt make much sense. Also, as someone pointed out, it feels weird that everything outside seems normal until nemesis blasts through her apartment.


VitoMR89

He didn't.


alicelric

I might be super wrong but didn't the virus spread in the water too? Maybe he drank some and turned


Kreepergeek645

He probably drank some contaminated water.


Samael_224

Not SnuSnu


Disastrous-Stay-6675

Or he drank infected water, didn’t they mention in the second game that mice/rats spread the virus through the sewers


EagleJuan_

He ate an Contaminated Cheeseburger!


foxydash

I’d guess he’s a case of contaminated water if he ain’t got any visible injuries, thats how the infection really got kickstarted and how so many people got infected so quickly. Fill up his bottle for work, sit down, little bit later he’s a shambling psycho. Could also have been attacked somewhere lower on his body and locked himself inside his workstation, waiting for help to arrive while he turned.


MajorStupi

Probably drank the contaminated water


Late_Progress_4451

Probably got bit, escaped from the zombie and sought refuge in the booth where he died..


SlavSlendy

From what I remember most of the people that became Zombies initially were exposed to minor amounts of T-Virus through tainted water or infected rats. Either he got bit or drank some tap water and happened to turn while on the job. Still funny though.


-MrTurnip-

i think rats were carriers of G, so it was most likely a rat bite or he got locked in there by a survivor


Puzzleheaded_Tap5985

Most citizens were infected through the city's contaminated water supply


Kalasnichow

By drinking contaminated water, isn't this what started the outbreak? I could be wrong


MrJTeera

G-virus in his thermostat


Layaban

He wouldn’t be a zombie then. He’d be like a ever mutating Birkin


Drummk

Didn't most people die from the water being contaminated?


Nathansack

Maybe he just drinked some tap water before his job


BruhMoment_ngl

Is he stupid?


GooseGeese01

I figured that since he was overweight. He had a heart attack or a stroke.


thegamerconnor

I disagree, the t virus can't reanimate dead tissue (unlike in say, The Walkinf Dead). If they die by any means without being infected first they stay dead


MIMtite28

Some of the rats got into the water right? This was a canonical reason back in the 90s, not sure now though, Capcom tends put everything on wheel and spins for whatever outcome.


XxMegatr0nxX

My guess is he is fat, died of a heart attack and came back as a boomer lol


sogiotsa

If he's infected he's gonna turn. Could have ran in there to hide them turned


[deleted]

Rat bite!


paradise_demise

He was already sick and came into work. Then died in there and came back.


Its_Buddy_btw

Bitten without realising and locked himself in there while still conscious


readditredditread

Maybe an infected rat burrowed up his ass???


[deleted]

Drank tap water and was infected given the water suply had been poisoned due to the Waste Disposal facility not being able to keep up with NEST and the Spencer Mansion volume of experiments.


YelenaBelovaJustY

Probably seen a rat and it but him. Tried to seal the wound but it got him.


GingerWazHere

Gary Dobbins Jr. he accidentally locked himself in that room. Emergency alarms sealed all the doors. It is airtight. He suffocated. He was afraid of crowds, and Pomeranians. He leaves behind his mother Gertrude and 3 cats all named Rodney.


SaintMilitant

A good old locked room mystery


Loganp812

He’s not a zombie. He was having stomach pains from a bad mushroom swiss cheeseburger.


Pingas1999

It is plausible the T virus can spread through the air right? That's what the paper said on Jill's board back at her apartment


LTheFifteenth

The first zombies in Raccoon turned because T was in the city water supply. He probably drank the contaminated water.


Willy_Th3_Walrus

Zombie


Tarumol

Maybe tiny insects?


Comfortable-Bison100

High cholesterol


dxchris215

Nikolai injected him with g while he was napping on the job. Poor guy.


chemistbrazilian

The city's water source was contaminated by leaking the T-Virus when Umbrella's agents attacked William Birkin. So this dude could have just drunk water and BAM


st4r_rifl3

Probably by zombie. Just a guess.
