A guide to find codes in Area 12

Lets Assume That You Don't Know The Code For The First Door (somehow)

The code will always be 0451 in the starting area (for now).

If the code changes for the starting area, you know where it is so stop reading this section.

You've Moved Throughout The Facility And Killed The Starter Enemies, Where's The Code At?

There are many locations where the codes can spawn in, there are a total of 5 locations where the code can spawn in (6 if you include the locker one).

Code Location #1

There's a corpse tucked in the corner in some small room, take a left off the path you entered and go down the stairs, afterwards you should see something like this:

Afterwards guiding yourself there go ahead and you'll either find a code or nothing at the corpse:

It is important to mention that if the code spawns there it could also be the locker code as well.

Code Location #2

For the second possible code location it can spawn inside of the truck container:

Code Location #3

For the third possible location for the code to spawn in is right over here, I won't guide you this time since it's pretty obvious to see it:

Code Location #4

The fourth possible location for the code to spawn in is a container, where is that container is located at? Over here:

Inside the container can contain a code or nothing:

The code inside the container can also unlock the locker.

Code Location #5

For the final location that the code can spawn will require you to go through this area:

Go up the stairs and go to this room:

After doing so turn the circuit box (or what ever it is) on:

Then go down the stairs:

Take a right and the code will either spawn or not spawn there:

Locker Code Location (#6?)

This part can be ignored if you had code location #1 or #4, if you haven't gotten either one of them to the Maintenance Generator and turn it on, and after doing so this room will open:

Enter the room and take a left:

Go through the vent:

Mag dump the cake (optional):

The code should be on the table:

Checkpoint Code

Lets say that you don't know where the code is, and you need to know where the codes can spawn in. You'll need to go through the scanners:

Then you can either take a left or right:

Taking A Left

If you decide you want an MP5 or a UMP with a heal and a gunsmith station the left path is a great way for stuff like that, you'll need to go forward and take a left:

Go through this door:

A code might spawn in if there are NO codes in the computer rooms:

Taking A Right

Let's say that you ain't no wuss and you want to find the code one way or another, which I respect that you're that cool. If you want to find the checkpoint code go take a right, you'll stumble upon these rooms:

One out of 4 of these rooms will have the code, if the code isn't in there you will either go to the section "Taking a left" or take another right:

Push on until you stumble upon this:

Go through the doors and you'll find the code:

After finding the code there's a bandage and a 1911, I don't know why you would use the 1911, but it's there.

Questions And Answers

Question #1: Why did I create this guide?

So other idiots (like me) don't have to watch a YouTube Video to find where the codes are or waste 15 minutes for finding a singular code.

Question #2: Why should you listen to someone with the name "Sus" in it?

Because ♥♥♥♥ you no one else has created a guide on where the codes are located, so I took initiative and made it myself.

Question #3: What if the codes aren't in those locations/what if they change?

Send the location to me through DMs (Steam messages if you need to know it) or in the comment section, and if they ever change I'll update it or create a new one.

Question #4: Will I create more "helpful" guides in the future?

We'll know when we hit that boat.

Question #5: Can I create a YouTube Video/another guide to show the locations if this gets outdated/want to spread it more?

I don't know, if you want to do that ask for permission, hell I encourage that you tell me if you're edging to explain it on YouTube or another website.

Question #6: Why don't all the code spawn locations have the code in them?

I don't have the mental capacity to reload the game to take a picture of each one individually.

Question #7: Why are there weird people in the comment section?

I don't know, ask them not me (certified weirdo).
