Code Lock

The code lock is used to lock doors, hatches, and storage crates. Players may set a new four-digit PIN if the lock is unlocked. Once locked, an LED on the keypad will change to red, indicating its status. Other players may attempt to gain access to a locked item by typing in a PIN in the keypad. If they are correct, a short beep will emit from the lock, and the player will subsequently have permanent access to the locked item (assuming the code isn't changed). If the player guesses incorrectly, a failure beep will play alongside an electric arc animation on the keypad, and the player will take increasing increments of damage until they wait long enough or die. Guest codes may be set on unlocked locks (make sure it's locked after setting the code!), which allows other players access to the locked item without the ability to unlock, remove, or change the code. Unlocked Code Locks may be removed or have a new password set by any player.

Can be placed on boxes when you cannot reach the lock! This will prevent you from locking the lock and also preclude you from removing the lock and, in turn, the box.
When you initially equip a box, the side facing you will be where a lock would go.

Visual aids when placing a box:

  • For the large box, the lock goes in the thin rectangular bevel centerline below the lid.
  • For the small box, it goes on the side clockwise from where two gaps can be seen in the planks on the shorter side.

A pretty much must have for a group of 2 or more. Note that when you use a code lock, it signals to others that there is more than just a solo living in the base (solo being a player who just plays alone). This also means that the base is usually juicier to raid with good loot.
Never type your code in chat or share through in-game voice chat. Only share through private messages.
People try to code lock, but the damage increases dramatically with each wrong code.
