The world of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) is filled with intense action, strategic gameplay, and, for the discerning player, a collection of hidden secrets. Among these secrets are codes that unlock safes, granting access to valuable resources within the game’s campaign mode. This article provides a comprehensive guide to these codes, their locations, and answers to frequently asked questions about the wider world of MW2’s unlockables.
The primary codes players will encounter are for safes hidden within the single-player campaign. These codes are:
- El Sin Nombre Safe Code (Diego’s Apartment): 02-02-19
- Alone Safe Code 1 (Coffee Shop, Upper Floor): 10-10-80
- Alone Safe Code 2 (Workshop Beneath Coffee Shop): 37-60-80
Cracking the Codes: Safe Locations and Contents
Let’s break down each of these safes in more detail:
Diego’s Apartment in “El Sin Nombre”
During the “El Sin Nombre” mission, you’ll infiltrate Diego’s lavish apartment. Finding the safe requires a bit of exploration. Head upstairs and enter the first room to your left, a room with a pool table. The safe is located in Diego’s bedroom, which is accessed through the Ofrenda. Quietly open the door and search the cupboard to the right of the bed. Use the code 02-02-19 to unlock the safe and claim its contents. The safe is in a cupboard to the right of Diego’s bed.
The Coffee Shop in “Alone”
The “Alone” mission is a scavenging and stealth-focused experience. There are two safes to be found within a coffee shop:
- Safe 1: After encountering the dying man, proceed to the upper floor of the coffee shop. Find the door marked with a “no entry” sign to the left. Open the door with a pry tool, get inside and open the safe using the code 10-10-80. Inside, you’ll find a Throwing Knife and a silenced .50 GS Pistol
- Safe 2: Upon exiting the coffee shop, take a sharp left turn to locate the workshop. Enter the workshop and use the code 37-60-80 to unlock the safe and claim its contents.
Beyond Safes: Unlockables and Access
While safe codes are a key part of the campaign, MW2 features a wider array of unlockable content. Some of these include:
- Operators: Characters like Zeus, Gaz, Klaus, Price, Farah, Soap, and Ghost can be unlocked through various methods, including battle pass progression and purchasing special editions of the game.
- Weapons: Almost all weapons in Modern Warfare 2 need to be unlocked by leveling up. Some weapons unlock based on account rank while others are linked to specific weapon progression trees.
- Cosmetics: Weapon blueprints, calling cards, emblems, and other cosmetic items can be unlocked through gameplay, challenges, and in-game purchases.
