Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is finally here and the campaign is packed with stuff to do this year. From open-ended missions, to buffs and perks to earn, to puzzles to solve. There is more than enought to keep you busy as you play through it.
One of those is the variety of safe house puzzles which can get you some extra Cash for the Safe House upgrades, as well as unlock a secret bunker inside the house. Here are all of them and how to complete them.
How to complete all safe house puzzles in ‘Black Ops 6’
There are 7 different safe house puzzles to complete in Black Ops 6‘s campaign:
Activate the generator in the basement
To begin the set of puzzles in the safe house, you will need to fix the boiler in the basement and turn the generator on. This room and basement can be found just to the right of the front door as you enter the safe house.
The steps to activate the generator in the basement are:
- Turn the ‘boiler’ wheel twice to turn the water off
- Turn the ‘fuel’ wheel to half-full (just before the red section)
- Interact with the ‘pilot’ button to turn the generator on
- Turn the ‘boiler’ wheel twice to fully activate the generator
If done correctly, a bell should ring, and you won’t be able to interact with the generator again.
Now you have the generator active, you can move onto the next puzzle.
Play the piano puzzle
Next, head to the piano, near the kitchen in the safe house. On the coffee table next to it, you can find a Blacklight to interact with. This can be used to reveal secret messages and patterns in the safe house and during missions.
To open the bunker, you need to play the right notes, which are located on the wall in the Russian alphabet. However, everyone has the same notes, and they are shown above the piano once you find them where the keys are located.
The notes to play on the piano are MN, PE, CN, AO, PE.
This will open a door and lead you down to the secret bunker.
Solve the keypad
As you head down into the bunker, take a right at the intersection between the corridors. Here you will find a keypad, which can be solved in a similar way to puzzles like Wordle. Simply guess the correct numbers in the correct spots. You can use your Blacklight torch to reveal fingerprints on the keypad, with the most pressed numbers hinting at the code.
Each number is different for everyone, and there can be several of the same number. So simply exhaust as many options as possible, and you will eventually get lucky and find it, if you take too many tries.
Our code was 33591, which we solved by eliminating all the double digits in the last spot until we got the correct answer.
Solve the computer cipher
In this room, you can find a computer with a cipher. While this looks intimidating at first, it is actually very simple. You will be given a code word at the top and in the space given to you.
All you have to do to solve this computer cipher is match the numbers in the code word to the letters at the bottom of the screen. For example, our first word was 6057824. Translated via the characters at the bottom, this became ‘Holding’.
You will need to do this four times, and the characters and numbers change for each word. The soultion is also randomized for every person.
Pick the door lock
Head out of the room and take a right again, and go into the door, which is now open, on your left. Interact with the door to complete an easy lockpicking mini-game. Simply move the pick until it and the lock glow white and hold it there for a brief second to pick the lock.
Do this three times, and the door will open, allowing you to grab the key on the desk. Exit the room and take another right at the intersection to use the key on the final locked door down here.
Tune the radio
Once inside, interact with the radio and tune it to match the wavelength and frequency on the screen.
Once this is done, it will start playing a short message, which is needed for the next puzzle.
Obtain the safe code
The message the radio plays is incredibly important, so keep listening to it as it repeats. It is a different sentence for everyone. The voice will mention four specific objects. Within this room, you can then use your Blacklight to reveal numbers by those four objects, which is the safe code for the bedroom upstairs.
Our sentences were “Ivan switched off the lamp by the broom closet, only the glow of the television remaining. He watched proudly as his country’s flag flashed across the screen.”
Within this sentence, the four objects with the numbers in the room were the lamp, broom, television, and flag. The numbers corresponding to those objects were 1, 8, 3, and 6.
Keep in mind that the numbers can be on the object or besides it and the message can throw you off. For example, we were looking for a “broom closet” for 5 or so minutes, but it turns out the object was just the broom.
With this solved, head upstairs to the bedroom on the left when you come up the main staircase by the safe house entrance.
Open the safe
Simply use the code from the radio message on the safe to open it and obtain some cash for your safe house upgrades.
You will also get the Case Cracker melee weapon blueprint for multiplayer and Warzone.
