How to unlock the locked gate in the Safehouse – Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Your safehouse in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is not just a place to plan missions — it also contains secrets. You will find a padlocked door in the main room, and the padlock requires a keycode to open. In this guide, we will show you where to find all three parts of the key code.

First Part – Clinical Record

You can find the clinical record on the wall of the hallway to the left as you face the locked door. It’s a small piece of paper on a clipboard on the left wall, about halfway down the hallway.

Second Part – Warren Commission Report

The second part of the code is on the ground, just before the door. You actually stand on it a lot, so it is surprisingly easy to miss.

Third Part – Dallas News Article

You can find the third part just inside the door of the darkroom, to the right of the locked door if you are facing it.

The code to open the locked door in the safe house is actually 11-22-63, which is the date of the JFK assassination. The Black Ops games are loaded with references to JFK, so this is not surprising.

Inside the room, you will find an arcade machine you can play, some easter eggs, and a computer with some text adventure games on it.
