Sometimes, you'll find some safes in and around the station that you may want to access the contents of. Maybe it's the safe in the Captain's Quarters, where the captain has sneakily placed their spare ID inside. Perhaps it's the VIP's special case they always keep on their person, likely containing valuable trade secrets (or just a cheeseburger). Or, just maybe, you've found a locked safe somewhere in the debris field and you want it open to access the potentially valuable goods inside. Look no further, as this guide will teach you how to crack safes open lickity split!
Breaking the Bank: How to Hack Open a Safe
Each safe code is a combination of 4 numbers/letters from 0-9 and/or . When you press enter and get the wrong combination, the safe will make some combination of no noise, beeps and boops. No noise means none of the characters you entered are in the final password. A boop means you have the right character in the wrong place. A beep means you have the right character in the right place. Multiple beeps/boops means that more than one of the characters is right. Adjectives before the beeps/boops don’t mean anything. So if the password is 1224 and you guess 2924, you’ll get 1 boop (the first 2 is in the password, but not the correct place) and 1 beep (the 2nd 2 is in the password and the right place). So to crack it, the first thing you’ll want to do is go through and press every character in order like so: 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, and so on. You’ll want to make note of which numbers make noises (either beeps or boops) and also keep track of one number that doesn’t make any noise at all to be used as a "garbage" number. Once you’ve done that and identified the 4 characters in the password, you’ll want to make use of your garbage number to figure out the first number. For this example 0 is our garbage number, and 1,2,3,4 are our other confirmed numbers, and 1234 is our password so you’ll do 1000, 2000, 3000. Whichever one beeps means that that’s your first number, and if none beep then 4 is the first number. Then do 1200, 1300. Whichever one beeps is the 2nd number. If none do 2 beeps, 4 is the 2nd number. Then do 1230. If there aren’t 3 beeps, then 4 is the 3rd number. Either way, the final password is 1234 or 1243.
