In the Silent Hill 2 Remake, players face a range of combination locks placed across several locations. Each door, safe, or chest can be opened by discerning the correct sequence of numbers or letters from the level design and the clues it provides. An alternative is to input the password immediately, and this guide supplies those passwords for quick access and progress.
Note: Codes may vary by difficulty level. The options available in easy, medium, and hard modes can differ, so it helps to confirm the current run’s codes before attempting a lock.
In closed locks, coins appear to help solve puzzles and keys unlock specific doors. The same idea of entering specific codes or sequences shows up in other games as well, such as the Resident Evil 2 remake or Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
Padlock codes
Padlocks in this title use a traditional dialing mechanism. The sequence starts by turning in one direction to a target count, then switching to the opposite direction. A misstep means restarting the process and rewarming up the approach.
