STALKER 2 Cost of Hope – All Safe Codes and Locations

STALKER 2: Cost of Hope adds several keypad safes, locked lockers, and coded stash rooms across the Iron Forest, Laboratory X16, the anomalous areas, and the CNPP. Some contain ordinary supplies, while the best ones reward weapons such as the AKM-9B, armor such as the Berill-5M, and the Brummbar Exoskeleton.

Most combinations stay the same between playthroughs, so you can enter the codes directly without collecting every environmental clue first.
