How to find the Alan Wake 2 pump-action shotgun code

For those that want to avoid the puzzle, the Alan Wake 2 Sheriff’s Station shotgun code solution is 723. Pop the numbers into the lock and grab the shotgun.

You can find the code by checking out the desk directly opposite the weapon cabinet. Next to the computer, you’ll see several books and a scribbled note. On the note is a cipher whereby letters correspond to a number. It’s a fairly basic cipher, starting with A=1, B=2, and so on. Though the note only shows the numbers for seven letters, the pattern applies to all letters in the alphabet, so for example D=4. Note that for double digit numbers, the second digit applies, so, for example, L=2 instead of 12.

Now, take the first letter of the surname of each of the UFO book authors on the table starting from the right and apply the cipher:

• Quincey – 7
• Batston – 2
• Westmore – 3

Based on the cipher and the books, 723 is the code needed to unlock the Alan Wake 2 Sheriff’s Station shotgun.
