Raccoon City Police Station West Wing or "OrionLevel01" is one of 3 Maps in the Raccoon City Realm
.
It is one of two reworked versions of the much larger Raccoon City Police Station Map and was introduced with Patch 6.2.0, alongside its counterpart, Raccoon City Police Station East Wing.
Lore
The smell of blood and festering limbs permeated the concrete walls of the Raccoon City police station. Once an art museum, the building was converted into a precinct at the heart of the city. But when evil took residence, the station showed one last terrifying exhibition: corpses crowding narrow corridors, blood smeared on shattered windows, and festering flesh dripping down the stairs.
Landmark
Main Hall
The Main Hall is the main Landmark in all iterations of the Raccoon City Police Station Map.
It contains a Generator either down near the front desk or half-way up at the foot of the statue.

- Removed access to the outdoor area outside the Boiler Room and the roof access.
- Closed the shutter door in the Watchman's Room, preventing access to the corridor leading to the Break Room.
Opened Areas
- Granted access to the Eastern outdoor area located outside the main doors, which connects to the Fire Escape.
- Expanded the size of the outdoor area beyond the Safety Deposit Room and the Dark Room.

History
Raccoon City Police Station
The original version of Raccoon City Police Station West Wing, that was introduced alongside CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™ in Patch 5.0.0, contained the majority of the Raccoon City Police Station Map from the Resident Evil 2 Remake and was named the same.
Due to frequent complaints about the Map being too large for Dead by Daylight and thus difficult to navigate between the two wings, the Developers decided to split the Map up into multiple iterations.
Layout Changes Compared to Resident Evil
Please refer to the same section on Raccoon City Police Station, the original Map, for a full list of the layout changes Dead by Daylight made to the Map from Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Change Log
Patch 6.2.0
- Addition: added West Wing as a unique Map variant alongside East Wing.
- Both Map variants replaced the original Raccoon City Police Station Map, which was deemed too large for 1v4 Trials and is now exclusively used for 2v8 Trials as of Patch 8.5.1.
Patch 7.2.0
- Survivor Quality of Life: widened the doorway leading from the Entrance courtyard to the outdoor area leading to the Fire Escape from a single to a double door.
- Since there is always a Hook right behind that doorway, this change was most likely motivated by Killers who either body-blocked and/or trapped that doorway, and thus completely blocked off access to a hooked Survivor from that side.
Trivia
- Dead by Daylight's version of the Raccoon City Police Station is incredibly faithful to the one in the Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Though as can be seen in the section above, some lay-out changes had to be made to adapt it to Dead by Daylight's playstyle.
- Entering rooms which in Resident Evil 2 Remake were considered Safe Rooms (rooms that could not be entered by enemies and contained a typewriter and an inventory chest), will play the Safety-Room-Melody instead of the usual sound ambiance.
