Chronological Safe Guide: Every Code in the Last of Us Part 2 in Story Order
By Alexander Ross
Ellie's route toward the hospital forces her into hazardous, enclosed spaces where every spare shotgun shell counts. While traversing the infected subway transit during The Tunnels chapter, you will encounter an employee break room with an electronic door lock. A discarded soda can in the vending machine provides the password hint: "pop." Translating that three-letter riddle opens the keypad with 15243, providing immediate relief in the form of craftable materials.
Reaching the residential streets of Hillcrest introduces some of the fiercest human encounters in the campaign. Behind the velvet curtain of an auto repair garage infested with infected lurks one of the most critical unlocks in the entire playthrough. Clearing out the garage exposes a floor safe holding the Short gun holster unlock. Input 30-82-65 to claim it immediately, allowing Ellie to swap between sidearms without fumbling through backpack menus.
Pushing further into Seattle Day 2 presents two additional residential puzzles before reaching the aquarium:
- The Seraphites apartment safe: Climb up to the luxury residential floor near the convention center. An anniversary card pinned next to the calendar gives the solution: 10-08-83. Cracking this door yields weapon crafting parts and an upgrade manual.
- Weston's Pharmacy safe: Crawl through the crawlspace wall behind the cash register. Dial 38-55-23 to sweep up a massive stash of supplements and scrap rewards.
