How to Open the Courthouse Safe in The Last of Us 2

Safes can be found all around Seattle in The Last of Us 2. This guide will help players unlock the Courthouse Safe by providing its code and location. The Last of Us 2 is the sequel to one of the most important and beloved games to release on the PS3. It came out around the end of the PS3’s life cycle but was ported over to the PS4 early on. Many praise that entry for its powerful storytelling and fun survival-horror gameplay. The Last of Us 2 follows up the story 4 years later, as Ellie is now much older and much more capable. Here’s how players can unlock the safe from within the Courthouse.

Each of these safes is a small puzzle within itself. It’s not as simple as knowing the code and cracking open the safe, but the player will need to use context clues and their own knowledge to open them. Inside is usually a large amount of ammo or potentially a new weapon. One safe later in the game tests the player’s mathematics, as the player must calculate the date the safe owner got married based on context clues left behind on a calendar. As the game progresses, these puzzles become more and more challenging. Fortunately, the Courthouse safe is found fairly early on. Here’s how to locate and open it

The Last of Us 2 Courthouse Safe Code

Players will be able to find the Courthouse Safe during their time with Ellie in Seattle Day 1. In chapter 2, players will explore a massive open area with several locations in an effort to look for gas. Along the way, Ellie and Dina will enter a massive courthouse. While here, search for a window near an elevator. Break the window to enter a locked room with a whiteboard. Here, the whiteboard will have the code on full display. Head over to the safe and enter the code: 86-07-22. Cracking safes only gets more complicated from here on out.

The Last of Us 2 builds on existing characters while completely shifting the motives of each of them. While the first game was a road trip adventure across the United States between Joel and Ellie, the second game takes place almost entirely in Seattle. The streets have been destroyed, flooded, and littered with zombies, soldiers, and even colt members. The game takes some ambitious leaps in its storytelling that might have left a bad taste in plenty of player’s mouths. Regardless, the game has gone ahead and sold millions of copies. The Last of Us 2 is currently one of the best games to release in 2020.

The Last of Us 2 is available now on PS4.
