In Arkane Studios' Deathloop, one of the hardest puzzles in the game is finding the safe code for the Updaam cave safe. The safe is located under Dorsey Square in Updaam. To find it, travel past the hackable terminals and over the side of the wall to find a cave on the right. Inside, players will discover a map with a triangle on it, and three triangles to the right scratched into the wall. Three Deathloop codes are needed to open the safe. They are obtained by matching up the triangle points with overworld positions, finding the numbers in each location, and entering them in the correct sequence.

Unfortunately, there is no way to open the safe in Deathloop without completing the puzzle, because the codes for the Updaam safe are random. Each code for the safe corresponds to the triangles on the wall. The first triangle is drawn onto the map, but players must line up the circles to determine the position of the other two triangles. Although the numbers are different, the location for each of the 6 numbers is the same. Players should be prepared to write down the numbers and make a note of what location they were found in.

While running around Updaam, there will be Eternalists to fight or evade while searching for Deathloop's cave safe codes. Below are the locations for each:

Safe Code Number

Location

1

The first number can be found outside of Colt's Apartment beside the Final Nights of Bad Luck Mary plaque.

2

The next number is on the outside of the small tunnel near Moxie.

3

The third number is on the wall of the alleyway near the tunnels.

4

The fourth one is partially hidden on the wall at the Library entrance.

5

The fifth number is located on the outside of Charlie's mansion and can be viewed through a gun scope.

6

The last number can be found near the door to the left of Otto's Workshop.

After finding all 6 numbers to the Updaam safe, head back to the cave to enter the codes. To see all of these locations for yourself, check out the video from The Triple S League on YouTube below:

The Updaam safe codes correspond to the three triangles on the wall. Codes will be entered with the numbers that match the no dash vertex, one dash, then two dashes. This sequence will be the same for all the triangles. However, the last triangle on the wall doesn't have dashes, so players will need to guess at the combination. There are only 6 possibilities, so it shouldn't take long to find the correct one. Once the hidden cave safe is open, the 5,000 Residuum inside can be collected, and the Updaam safe can be revisited for more Residuum at the start of each loop reset (the codes will be saved once they are entered). Deathloop's puzzles vary in difficulty, but Updaam's cave safe is one of the more intricate puzzles in the game.

    Summary:
    Deathloop is a first-person-shooter roguelike action game from developer Arkane Lyon, the creator of Dishonored 2. Players assume the role of Colt, a man stuck on the island of Blackreef, where whenever he tries to escape the hedonistic landscape ruled by eccentric individuals, he dies - and is rebooted back to the beginning of his escape. For Colt to escape this time loop, he'll have to assassinate eight targets that are the keys to shattering the deathloop and his freedom. However, his escape is impeded by a mysterious fellow assassin known as Julianna, hell-bent on killing Colt for reasons unknown. Deathloop allows players to experiment on how they'll break the cycle by making it possible to tackle targets in different orders and utilize unique, otherworldly powers and guns to decimate their foes. A multiplayer mode is also available for those looking to cause a little mayhem, where a player can assume the role of Julianna as they hunt a player-controlled Colt.
