Claire and crank handle

[Wren]

Is she able to obtain it on game 1? I have areas in the police station unexplored that require it.

No, she cant get it without cheating. Same goes for the club key.

Which causes double Mr.X from what I heard so that's the next question, is cheating to get access to areas you're not allowed to be in worth it when you get chased by two Mr.Xs ?

Worth it? No. You can get the crank handle and open up a shortcut near Irons office. Thats it. With the club key you can enter a room you would visit anyway and unlock the other side from the interrogation room .
The area in which you get the club key is nothing more than two small rooms. First one only has some ammo/ink ribbons, second is a save room with the club key. Nothing really interesting.
Never heard that it would cause second Mr. X since he always spawns at the same place.

Btw what is about cheating? How do you do

Never tried it myself. Just watched a video on YT where the player deactivated the clipping in order to find out what happens when you visit areas you shouldn't be able to get in.
Was quite surprised, that the club key and the crank handle are on their designated locations and you can pick them up without problems.

Don't do it.
Playing as Claire there will be places in the game you won't be able to access. Locked doors that needs the club key won't be part of Claire campaign.
Same goes for Leon... you can't find the heart key on his playthrough so he can't go to areas Claire go.
You must play with both characters to see the entire game.

Even if you do, there is nothing in the locked areas. You cannot start the generator as Claire or the lift as Leon, and there aren't any items in the locked rooms. The game apparently uses four separate maps for the four scenarios, so there is nothing in the closed-off sections.
