It feels fitting to talk about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, where no game in the series would be complete without an engaging single-player campaign paired with a thrilling race to Prestige. The narrative is gripping, and the diversity in missions keeps things fresh, providing numerous ways to tackle objectives. There’s a lot you might overlook in your first run, like those elusive safes scattered throughout the campaign.
In almost every mission, there’s a safe to be discovered, each hiding $1000. You can use this for upgrading perks specifically for the campaign or snagging exclusive weapon skins. This extra cash boost is definitely worth pursuing, especially given the usual rewards from a mission. If you’re aiming for an upper hand or stuck on in-base puzzles, we’ve got a detailed map for each safe.
### Cracking Safes in Black Ops 6
For each campaign safe, you need to locate the safe itself and a nearby radio that broadcasts the unlocking code. Typically, you’ll come across the radio first as an on-screen notification alerts you of a nearby signal.
Engaging with the radio launches a frequency-tuning minigame. Using your controller’s sticks, you adjust the frequencies to match. Once done correctly, the radio spits out a four-digit code to unlock the mission’s safe.
Do keep in mind, these codes are randomly generated. You can’t cut corners; you have to find each one. Luckily, the safes and radios are usually close, often in the same room. We’ll guide you to each of them.
### Safehouse Safe Breakdown
Most campaign safes are straightforward; just locate and open them. However, The Rook safehouse is a bit trickier. While the safe is easy to locate on the second floor, the code comes hidden behind six puzzles, accessible anytime at The Rook between missions.
The first puzzle involves the generator in the Boiler Room. Start facing the Evidence Board, and look slightly right to find a narrow hallway. The door on the right leads downstairs to a basement and an adjoining boiler room. Here’s how you adjust the generator:
1. Turn the Boiler valve twice.
2. Turn the Fuel valve once.
3. Turn the Pilot dial once.
4. Turn the Boiler valve twice again.
This unlocks a door we’ll attend to after solving the Piano puzzle. Head upstairs to the room adjacent to the central area and grab the Blacklight near the piano. Press left on the D-pad to use it in the safehouse and X for Xbox or Square for PlayStation during puzzles.
Use the Blacklight to reveal notations with numbers in the room. When you interact with the piano, toggle the light to see the numbers above the keys. Play the sequence in order, and the wood paneling beside the piano swings open to a secret bunker. Remember that generator? It unlocked the door down these stairs.
### Safe Puzzles Across Missions
Move through the door, head down the hallway, and take a right to spot a keypad door. Interact with it and identify used numbers using bright fingerprints. Multiple prints indicate repeated numbers in the code.
Past the unlocked door, find a computer to solve a cipher puzzle, another recurring campaign feature. Arrange letters correctly to reveal four specific words.
Exiting that room, turn right down the hall. The door partially open to the left leads to a simple lockpicking minigame. Adjust the lock pick via the right stick until pins align, walk inside, and snag a key from the small table.
Return to the hallway with the keypad door, cross it, and open the door on the left for the final puzzle: a radio frequency minigame. This radio, unlike others, repeats random phrases, requiring you to find numbers around the room using objects mentioned in the phrases.
### Exploring Further Campaign Safes
Once you have a grasp of the code, return to the first floor. Exit the piano room, pass through the central area, and go into the room with the front entrance. Ascend to the second floor, hang two lefts, and enter Adler’s bedroom to locate the safe. Enter the code to unlock the hardest safe in the campaign, granting you not just $1000 but also “The Puzzles, Mason” achievement and the flashy Case Cracker melee weapon blueprint.
Your journey continues in Blood Feud, Most Wanted, Hunting Season, The Cradle, Emergence, High Rollers, Ground Control, and Under the Radar missions—all with safes to crack and rewards to reap. Each requires a mix of stealth, puzzle-solving, and sometimes brute force.
These campaigns not only test your skills but offer a satisfying reward in weapon skins and achievements. Whether you’re decking out your operator in multiplayer or enhancing your campaign experience, these safes add an extra layer of fun to your Black Ops 6 experience.
