Unlocking Secrets: How To Solve The Puzzles In Call Of Duty Black Ops 6

In the very first campaign mission (after the intro) of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, you’ll come across seven different puzzles to solve in order to unlock a safe with some valuable rewards. This engaging gameplay element not only enhances the experience but also challenges players to think critically and strategically.

The Rook: Arrival Mission Overview

In the Rook: Arrival mission, players gain access to a KGB Safehouse. The old building appears cryptic, but there’s a safe waiting to be cracked open on the second floor. However, accessing its contents isn't as simple as it may seem. The safehouse hosts seven different challenges that players must complete to retrieve valuable materials.

How to Solve the Safehouse Puzzles

Once the introductory cutscene ends, players find themselves in the main room of the building. This room serves as a base location for finding and solving the puzzles that lead to the safe. Players will need to explore and engage with various elements within the safehouse to progress.

1. Boiler Room Puzzle

The Boiler Room is located in the basement. Players should move left from the main room and look for a door on the right. Opening this door leads to the basement where the boiler is located. Alternatively, players can take a longer route through the Piano room by turning right at every point until they reach a narrow corridor.

• Turn the ‘Fuel’ wheel twice.
• Turn the ‘Boiler’ wheel twice.
• Turn the ‘Fuel’ wheel once.
• Turn the ‘Pilot’ switch on.
• Turn the ‘Boiler’ wheel twice.

2. Piano Puzzle

Next, players must find the piano in the adjacent main room. To solve this puzzle, they’ll need to use the backlight found in the room to locate Cyrillic characters, each corresponding to a number. The solution is consistent, requiring players to press ‘5, 4, 2, 3, 4’.

3. Keypad Code Puzzle

Solving the Piano puzzle unlocks a door nearby, leading to a large locked door that only opens when the Boiler Room puzzle is solved. Inside, players will encounter another door that requires a 5-digit code to proceed.

• Use the backlight to reveal the five buttons with the most smudges.
• Make a random guess to determine the order of the digits.
• Incorrect digits will show as red, correct digits in yellow (wrong place) or green (correct place).

4. Cipher Puzzle

Upon opening the coded door, players enter a cyber room with a computer. They will see a code displayed at the top of the screen, which they must match with corresponding letters to guess the word. Examples of potential words include “Open”, “Holding”, “Bunker”, and “Room”.

5. Basement Key Puzzle

This puzzle is relatively straightforward. After exiting the computer room, players should turn right and continue until they find a door on the left leading to a room with a red window.

• Open the door that has three springs.
• Swivel the lockpick until a spring starts moving, then hold it in position until it shifts upwards.
• Repeat this for all three springs to unlock the door and retrieve the key on the table.

6. Radio Puzzle

Next, players should move straight from the Basement Key room and turn right to find a door indicating a ‘weak radio’ signal. Inside, they will find a radio and must match Frequency and Amplitude to play a recorded message.

7. Safe Code Puzzle

The final puzzle can also be completed in the same room. Players must pay close attention to the message played on the radio and activate their backlight to gather clues about certain objects mentioned.

• Note down the objects and use the backlight to find digits associated with them.
• Once all digits are collected, players can crack open the safe.

Final Steps to Access the Safe

After solving all the puzzles, players should exit the basement and return to their base location. They need to take the stairs up and navigate a dark hallway to find two bedrooms. The safe is located next to the bed in the right room, where they can input the code from the last puzzle to unlock it and claim the items inside.

By navigating these challenges, players will not only enjoy the thrill of discovery in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, but they will also enhance their problem-solving skills while engaging with the game’s narrative. Happy gaming!

Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the series, these puzzles provide an exciting challenge and a rewarding experience. Dive into the game and enjoy unlocking the secrets hidden within!
