After much anticipation, The Last of Us Part 2 has arrived so it’s time to dive into this harrowing post-apocalyptic world. While it’s possible to beat this game without spending a lot of time scavenging, we strongly recommend you hunt for the different safes scattered throughout the different parts of Seattle.
These not only typically contain useful crafting materials and ammo, but key items that can make your journey much easier. However, the door in the subway system is a little different, since you’ll be input the code into a keypad, not a traditional safe lock. Thankfully, it’s still quite easy to solve, even if the game glitched on me when I tried to capture footage when solving it.
What is the Subway Door Code?
As you progress through the campaign you will eventually make your way through the abandoned subway system underneath Seattle. This section will introduce a new type of infected called the Shambler, which rushes foes and explodes in a cloud of acidic spores. If you’re having trouble with these enemies, consider using explosives such as the Molotov to set them blaze from afar and deal damage over time so you can run around. Always keep your distance and don’t try to use weapons like the shotgun since it will put you in harm’s way.
After defeating the Shamblers you will make your way to a storage room before arriving at an empty break room with multiple soda machines and a locked door on the right. Pass the right door and examine the note in the back right corner hinting that the code is in the vending machine. Look to the machine directly behind you with the soda can inside and bash it open by pressing Square. Pick up the can and examine it to get the door code which is 15243. Now return to the door code and input the numbers to open it.
Inside you will find the changing room with a bunch of lockers filled with different supplies and boxes of ammo. There aren’t any key items inside, but it’s a nice place to stock up – especially after battling the shamblers in the previous encounter. Additionally, you can find an artifact adjacent to the locked door on the table.
Keep in mind, I actually suffered a glitch trying to complete this section twice. While I was able to find the note and soda can once, the other two times I attempted to do this section neither the note or the can spawned. If this happens, just go straight to the door and input the code. It should still work and let you get all the items inside.
Remember, combinations never changes for safes and doors, you can bypass a lot of the busywork of hunting down notes. Given how scarce resources can be, opening every safe should be a priority. They’re rarely out of the way, plus there’s a trophy tied to unlocking them all. For more guides and safe codes make sure to visit our other guides for The Last of Us Part 2.
