Fallout 76's Steel Reign update adds a number of new main quests to Bethesda's highly-popular online RPG, one of which is called Out of the Blue. As players make their way through this quest, they will eventually receive an objective that instructs them to gain access to the lab room.
To complete this step, Fallout 76 fans will need to enter unique codes into three separate password panels, and this guide is here to provide assistance with that endeavor.
Spoilers alert! Gamers that would like to solve the puzzle themselves and only need some hints should skip down to the second section for assistance. The first section of this guide reveals what the codes are without any guesswork.
Door Codes
- Password Panel 1 (Open): 12-11-22-13
- Password Panel 2 (Sesame): 8-22-8-26-14-22
- Password Panel 3 (Seed): 8-22-22-23
To note, while converting the passwords into their numerical forms is not a particularly difficult task, it can be a bit tedious. For those RPG players that would prefer to skip this process altogether, these are the three conversions, and they should be entered into the password panels in the order that they are provided.
After inputting these codes, players should interact with the red button that is positioned directly to the right of the final password panel. This action will open the nearby lab room door, and indeed fans should see the "gain access to the lab room" objective disappear when that occurs. There are a few things that Fallout 76 needs to improve on, but this code puzzle seems fair.
Finding And Solving The Codes
The trick to obtaining the Out of the Blue passwords in Fallout 76 is to convert a series of words into numbers. This is indicated in the "Reminder About Password" note that fans will find on the wall just to the right of the password panels, though the document does not provide the words that must be converted. Indeed, players will need to look to another note for that information, and it can be found on a desk that is across from the password panels.
Upon inspection of this second document, fans will learn that the password for the lab room is "Open Sesame Seed." To convert these words into a suitable form, players should simply head to the desk that is just around the corner from the "Open Sesame Seed" note and look to the blackboard that is on the wall above it. This blackboard provides a full breakdown of how letters and numbers are connected for the purposes of the lab room codes, and players can perform all of their translations with that information.
For players that need a bit more help, think A = 1, B= 2, etc. Then know that the codes for the three doors are the words, converted to numbers, in order. The first door is "open," the next one is "sesame," and the final one is "seed." If that still seems too difficult, don't give up on the game, go ahead and see the first section for the full breakdown.
Fallout 76 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
