So, you want to crack the safe in a GTA Online Stash House? The key to unlocking that sweet, sweet loot lies in finding the key code written on a yellow sticky note. This note is always hidden somewhere within the Stash House itself. Scour every nook and cranny until you find it, then input the code to open the safe and claim your reward!
Raiding Stash Houses: The Nitty-Gritty
Stash Houses are a fantastic daily event in GTA Online, offering you a chance to resupply your various businesses – think your Bunker, Acid Lab, or MC businesses. It’s a simple loop: break in, eliminate the enemies, find the safe code, crack the safe, and escape. Let’s break down each step:
Gaining Entry
First, locate the Stash House icon on your map. Look for a door adorned with a purple mission marker. This is your entry point. Be prepared for a fight. A prompt will appear, allowing you to “kick the door down”. But a crucial caveat: you can’t do this if you have a wanted level. Ditch the cops first!
Inside the Stash House
Once inside, things get chaotic. Expect resistance. Take down all the enemies inside the Stash House before you start searching for the code. Prioritize your safety and use cover effectively. Remember, you’re here for one thing: that yellow sticky note with the safe combination.
Finding the Combination
This is where your detective skills come into play. The sticky note could be anywhere. Common locations include:
- Attached to the safe itself: Check the door, sides, and top of the safe. This is often the most obvious (and therefore, sometimes overlooked) spot.
- On a nearby desk or table: Scan every surface in the room, especially near the safe.
- Taped to a wall: Check behind posters, shelves, and other objects that might obscure the note.
- Inside a drawer: Don’t neglect drawers and cabinets; sometimes, the code is hidden inside.
- On a computer monitor: The code might be displayed on a screen.
Cracking the Safe and Exiting
Once you find the code, interact with the safe. A prompt will appear, allowing you to enter the combination. Input the code carefully. If you enter the wrong code you may have to reset, however there is not a limited number of attempts to access the safe. Once the safe is open, grab the contents and make your escape. Be prepared for more resistance as you leave, as more enemies often spawn outside.
