How to Find Each Code
Locker Room
Episode 2 — Best Laid Plans13576Leave the Locker Room and return to the Atrium. Climb the stairs to the upper level, use the Utility Strap to open the shutter across from the landing, then use the device again through the window to unlock the door. Inside, the security camera (CCTV) feed displays the code on screen.
Carter's PC
Episode 2 — Best Laid Plans0828A sticky note on Carter's monitor reads "Luna" with a party hat drawn next to it. Check the calendar in the adjacent room: Luna's birthday is August 28. Enter 0828 (US date format) — 2808 also works in some versions.
Food Storage Room
Episode 3 — The Sample0402During the search of the Mess Hall, use the Wedge Tool to open the only wedge-accessible side room in the far corner. As you leave, look at the door frame — a handwritten note there gives the code. Enter it at the Kitchen pantry keypad to reveal a lore secret.
Diazepam Synthesis

Charybdis Probe Serial Number
