We’ve collected many trivial things in our time.
Briefcases, bags, bobbleheads, death cards, even
human skulls sit comfortably in our mental trophy room of Worthless Accomplishments. But
none of these were so frustratingly hard to find as the BSAA emblems in Resident Evil 5. Some
are dangling. Some are sticking to the roof. Some are slid horizontally into space only large
enough for the exact dimensions of the emblem. In other words… you need this guide.

Grabbing all 30 gets you that lovely getup, plus something special for Chris and a number of
other trinkets (we’ll let you discover those yourself). Now, on with the guide.

Chapter 1-2: The first emblem lies just outside the boundary of the level (told you they were
tricky), but it’s easy to spot from the balcony of this two-story building.
Chapter 1-2: You’ll come to a room with a wooden ladder and no roof. Take a look up and
you’ll see BSAA number two resting on the water tower.
Chapter 1-2: The last emblem of 1-2 is just before the exit, right after the metal briefcase filled
with pistol ammo. Look through the walls on the left to see it hovering along the back wall.

Chapter 2-1: Located in the very room you start the level, hanging on the wall to the right of the
exit. Miss this and you should put the controller down and consider a different hobby.
Chapter 2-1: After stopping the runaway truck and crossing the bridge, turn around to face said
bridge and find this emblem resting near one of the support columns.
Chapter 2-1: This cruelly placed emblem is in the area where you find the keys dangling from a
body. Before entering the room with those keys, check this small structure’s crevice for a well-
hidden collectible.
Chapter 2-1: After using the keys and crossing the small boat, look for 2-1’s fourth emblem
hanging on a building’s balcony. You’ll have to get higher up to see it – do so by climbing the
wooden ladder nearby.
Chapter 2-1: When you reach the assist jump, turn around and look to the upper right to find
this emblem relaxing on the roof.
Chapter 2-2: There’s a giant tower behind the star point – walk out far enough, turn around and
use a rifle to break BSAA emblem number nine.
Chapter 2-2: When you cross the small underground bridge, look at the waterfall to your right
to spot the next target.
Chapter 2-2: Once outside, climb the really tall ladder and move to the left. Use a rifle to find
this emblem sitting on top of the buildings you just left.

Chapter 3-1: There may be a better way to get this, but the only way we found was to use a rifle
from the starting point, pointed out towards the post in the lake. You’ll see the emblem (just
barely), and it’ll probably take a few shots to hit.
Chapter 3-1: The island near the middle of the lake contains the next emblem, this time tucked
behind a hut. Stand just to the left of the landing spot and use either the pistol or rifle.
Chapter 3-1: As you can see on the radar, this one’s in the small village located in the upper left
corner of the map. It’s sitting in the rafters.
Chapter 3-1: After collecting all the slates and opening the locked island door, you’ll find the
last 3-1 emblem underneath the checkpoint. Simply hop down and turn around.
Chapter 3-2: You’ll eventually come to an area with TriCell tents – walk behind them and
you’ll find this emblem taking a siesta in between the two tents.
Chapter 3-2: Irving will take off in his boat, prompting the oil refinery to explode. Before
heading to the escape boat, kick in the nearby door to find this emblem kickin’ it on the wall in
plain sight.
Chapter 3-3: You’ll have to shoot fast to hit it on the ceiling just before entering the first gated
area. If you miss, you can still tag it while flipping the switch to open the gate.

Chapter 4-1: In the caves, climb the first wooden ladder, walk out halfway and look to the right.
You should see this emblem resting near the bottom.
Chapter 4-1: Located in the first super-sized room, Sheva says she had no idea this place
existed. Hop down once, then before you hop down again, use the rifle to look left and you
should spot the next emblem way off in the distance. Check the video if you need more
assistance.
Chapter 4-1: The next area is a room with tons of stairs that rise and fall based upon which
switches you’ve pulled. Before doing ANYTHING, simply walk right and make the small jump,
then up the stairs, and look to the right. You should see a green statue. The emblem is located a
bit above the statue.
Chapter 4-2: A stage this huge and only one emblem hidden? Truly evil. Luckily we’ve already
found it on the last floor of the reflecting laser puzzle. Go to the northern room (with the guy
impaled by several spikes) and look above the doorway.

Chapter 5-1: There’s a small bridge in this circular room – the one and only emblem of 5-1 is
right underneath it.
Chapter 5-2: Another huge level with only one emblem. This one’s in a dumpster after the
conveyor belt filled with explosive canisters.
Chapter 5-3: As you exit the room where you fought the boss, look behind the giant fan to the
right. You’ll see this emblem hiding behind the blades.
Chapter 5-3: Very annoying, this one. As the platform spins upward, a soldier will come out
and pull a lever that halts the ascension. The emblem is on the floor just behind the guy who
pulls the switch, but you can’t hit it until you start rising again. Easiest way – wait until the
second switch is pulled, slowing the spin to a point where it’s not a pain in the ass to aim.
Chapter 5-3: After the spinning room you’ll find yourself starting down another set of ruins.
There’s an elevator to your left, but don’t go up just yet – walk behind it and snag the emblem
located in the shaft.

Chapter 6-1: Right from the start, equip your rifle and look to the huge tower at the end of the
ship (that’d be to your right). The emblem is near the top, so far away you’d assume you couldn’t
hit it from this distance. But, as evidenced by the video, you sure can.
Chapter 6-1: One of the weirdest emblems to acquire. You can’t shoot it directly, and the only
way you’d even know it was there is by the brief cutscene that shows the platform rise. So, with
Sheva still in the cage, toss a grenade into the northern open container to collect. There are
dynamite Majini that spawn for a while, so there’s a chance you could shoot one and its own
explosion would count as hitting the emblem, but we haven’t tested that theory.
Chapter 6-1: After the Excella cutscene, find the very last BSAA emblem in a shelf behind
glass.
