Cracking the Safe: How to Find the Archive Code in 007 First Light
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A quick guide for 007 First Light players on how to navigate Chapter 16, distract guards in the R&D installation, and find the archive room door code to progress the story.
Stealth and espionage are back in a big way with IO Interactive's latest spy thriller, but sneaking through high security facilities requires a lot of patience. In Chapter 16 of 007 First Light, players hit a major roadblock at Webb's Research and Development installation. Getting into the security office to upgrade Bond's ID bracelet means navigating heavily guarded corridors and tracking down a hidden door code. Fortunately, a helpful breakdown from Polygon details the exact steps needed to bypass the security and keep the mission moving forward without wasting hours on trial and error.
The search for the archive room code starts by heading down to the floor below the operations sector and slipping into the legal department. Players need to distract the guards using clever environmental hazards like rigged rubbish bins or hacked printers, allowing them to sneak past cubicles and grab a safe key off a desk. From there, players must head to the end of the corridor, clear out another office using tactical distractions, and crack open the safe hidden beneath a desk. Inside, a passcode document waits to give players direct access to the upper floor archive room and the vent leading straight to the security office.
Of course, for players who prefer to skip the stealth puzzle and get straight back to the action, the combination is already out in the wild. The code to open the archive room is 1864. Whether players want to earn the infiltration the hard way or just punch in the digits and keep the campaign rolling, guides like this are an essential resource for getting the most out of single player progression. Check out the full walkthrough over at Polygon to see all the distraction strategies in action.
