Where to find all Black Ops 6 safe code locations in the campaign
There are nine safes throughout Black Ops 6’s campaign, each one containing a handy grand to add to your coffers.
$1000 pays for a lot of upgrades for your safehouse, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for these safes, and the radios used to open them. Doing so also complete the “Safe Cracker” campaign challenge.
We have tracked down each radio location and the corresponding safes that they open, to make sure you don’t miss out on any of that sweet cash money during your playthrough. Here is how to find and open every safe in Black Ops 6.
How do safes and radios work in Black Ops 6?
Let’s go over the basics before we get started on the locations. Aside from the safehouse safe, all safes are opened the same way. First, you’ll need to find a radio. Thankfully, once you are close to it, a notification will pop up showing you that a radio is in close proximity. Use the distance indicator to close in on the radio and interact with it.
Each radio has you do the same thing, which is alter the amplitude and frequency of a waveform to make the two lines match by increasing the amplitude to make your waveform as tall as the other one, then increase or decrease the frequency until they line up. Once you’re close, the lines will snap together.
With this done, the radio will begin playing a message on repeat. A series of four numbers will be read out, and this is the code for the nearby safe. There is no indicator of where the safe is, but they are always close to the radio. We’ll give you the locations below, but you shouldn’t have much issue finding the safe once you have the code.
All you need do now is head to the safe, input the radio code and it will pop open. Free money!
How to open the safehouse safe
The first safe you can open in the campaign is the one found in the safehouse you go to between missions. Other safes usually just require you to find the radio and the safe, but this one is special.
To open the safehouse safe, you’ll need to complete a series of safehouse puzzles, which we break down in more detail with the aforementioned link — from the opening piano puzzle to exploring the basement.
Once you have the code, head up to Adler’s room at the front of the house on the second floor to open the safe.
Blood Feud safe code and safe location
The first campaign mission to feature a safe is Blood Feud, and there’s one per mission going forward from here.
The safe in Blood Feud can be found later in the mission when you are heading into the Chateau de la Haute Lune. You are given a couple of options for entering the building, head around the building to the left.
You’ll be able to climb up some boxes to reach a vent that will get you into the building. Crawl through the vent until you reach a cover you can open where two guards are arguing below. Take them out and drop down into the room. The radio will be on a desk behind you, and the safe will be just in front of you.
Most Wanted safe code and safe location
While you are free to explore Capitol Station at the beginning of this mission, head to the restricted area between the check-in and the bar. This is found in the lower right part of the map, just above where the valet section is.
You’ll need to sneak past the guard and go through the yellow and red curtains. Take an immediate left and then left again to enter a small area with some desks and boxes. The radio will be on your right as you enter, while the safe can be found at the back left of the room.
Hunting Season safe code and safe location
This mission gives you a large open area of desert to explore, making this safe easy to miss. The location you want here is the Village Enemy Encampment. This point of interest (POI) is in the southwest of the map, and northwest of the Satellite Farm Outpost.
Your objective here is to clear out the enemies in the area, so you’ll want to deal with that first before looking for the safe. Particularly so, as the radio and safe are in the central building where most of the enemies here are positioned. Clear them out, then you’ll find the radio on the second floor.
If you approach from the south side of the building, go up the stairs outside and climb through the window in front of you. The radio will be on your immediate left as you enter the room. Once you have your code, go through the door ahead and turn right. You’ll find the safe in the corner of the next room, beside a cabinet.
The Cradle safe code and safe location
In contrast to the last safe, this one can be found almost instantly when starting the mission. When you begin your approach on Sadam Hussein’s palace, go into the small building to the right of the entrance.
Go up the stairs on the left and take a left when you reach the top. The radio will be on a table just in front of you, and the safe is embedded in the wall to the left of the safe — you can’t miss them.
Emergence safe code and safe location
This safe can be found shortly after entering the Cognitive Research lab. When you enter the first corridor, go to the end. Your main objective is to the left, but you want to go to the right. Head through the small corridor and into the locker room.
In the central area of the locker room, there is a Kallax-style unit (shout out to IKEA fans) in the far corner from where you came in, basically a bunch of squares with towels in them. The radio is in the upper-left square, and the safe will then be behind you to the left, in the corner of the room.
Don’t worry, no zombies or jumpscares in this room — at least not until you play the recording.
High Rollers safe code and safe location
This safe is accessible while you are playing as Sev, when you go down into the room where the vault door is. Your first objective here is to activate the elevator for Marshall and Felix, and as it happens that is also where the radio and safe are.
You genuinely cannot miss the radio here, it is directly beside the elevator, on your left as you are facing it. Once you have your code, go around the corner on the right side of the elevator to find the safe.
Ground Control safe code and safe location
The beginning of this mission has you making your way into the Kuwait airport with Adler and Sims. Once you enter the first terminal, you’ll need to take out a group of enemies. Then, when Adler tells you you’re going through the gate into departures, instead go to the far end of the room.
Head behind the information desk on the right side you’ll find the radio tucked under the desk. Once you have the code, look to your left from behind the info desk and you’ll see a door. Head into that room and take a left, you’ll see the safe on the wall at the end of the room.
Under The Radar safe code and safe location
You can do this one from the very start of the mission by heading straight to the Radar Dish. Entering the building and head up the stairs. There you’ll find one guard standing near the radio, and two more guards on the other side of a fence.
Take out the guard by the radio, you can stash his body in a closet in the nearby room. Don’t worry, nobody here will see or hear any of this. Grab the code from the radio, then pick the lock on the fence door. Taking out the two guards without raising an alarm is nearly impossible, but thankfully the safe is just on your right as you go through the door.
Ignore the two guards, stay crouched, and open the safe to get your last wad of cash. The Safe Cracker challenge is now complete!
