The 007 First Light Safe Code puzzle design gives every locked safe and door a discoverable combination hidden somewhere in the environment. None of the codes in the game are random. Each one has a specific in-game hint that teaches you how to derive the answer without looking it up.
Finding 007 First Light Safe Codes yourself is part of the game’s espionage fantasy. Bond’s world is full of people who hide important information in plain sight, and the code puzzles reward players who explore thoroughly and pay attention to environmental details.
This guide covers every known Safe Code 007 First Light combination, where to find the in-game hint for each, and how to interpret them so you can solve future codes using the same observation method.

Chapter 2: Carpathian Hotel Codes
Manager’s Office Safe Code: 1952
The manager’s office contains a wall safe that holds mission-critical documents.
How to find the hint: As you enter the Manager’s Office, look to the left side of the room. There is a wine bottle on display. Interacting with it shows the wine’s vintage date: 1952. This is the safe combination.
What is inside: Documents, a valuable item, and a keycard that optionally simplifies access to another area of the hotel.
Laundry Room Door Code: 1805
How to find the hint: A handwritten note on the Manager’s Office desk contains the laundry room code. After reading the note, Bond automatically registers 1805 as the combination.
Archive Room Door Code: 1864
How to find the hint: Enter the locker room located next to the archive door. Inside, a paper with coded number hints describes the combination. Reading the clue and working through the logic reveals the answer: 1864.
Chapter 7: Webb Industries Penthouse Safe Code
The Webb Industries chapter contains one of the most complex code puzzles in the game. The safe combination uses a four-item environmental cipher set up by Isola (Charlotte Roth) as a clue specifically for Bond.
Code: 1493
How to derive it:
Isola leaves a hint about the order and method: check four items in this specific sequence.
- King’s College Diploma — Interact with the diploma on the wall. It displays the digit 1.
- Basilisk Painting — A painting featuring an image of a brain. It displays the digit 4.
- Hyperion Game — A game display case in the room shows the digit 9.
- Webb Industries Scale Model — The architectural model near the desk displays the digit 3.
Combined in order: 1 — 4 — 9 — 3 = 1493
This is the most narratively embedded code puzzle in the game, tying Isola’s intelligence-gathering role directly into the gameplay mechanic.
Chapter 12: London Museum Code
Courtyard Maintenance Door Code: 3256
The London Museum chapter contains a maintenance area code accessible from the courtyard section. The environmental clues for this code are distributed across museum exhibits, requiring players to connect exhibit information to derive the number sequence.
Can You Use Codes Without Finding the Hints?
Yes. All codes in 007 First Light work regardless of whether you have discovered the in-game hint. If you know the code from research, you can enter it at any time. The game does not require you to read the clue before accepting the input at the keypad.
However, finding the hints first provides:
- Mission mastery points for exploration completionists
- Narrative context that makes the code puzzles feel like real spy tradecraft
- Environmental storytelling about each chapter’s location and characters
Pro Tips: 007 First Light Safe Codes
- Visit the Manager’s Office early in Chapter 2: Both the laundry code and the office safe code are available in this single room. Collecting both simultaneously saves backtracking time and lets you start using the codes during the same hotel visit.
- Use the Q-Lens on unfamiliar safes: The Q-Lens highlights interactive objects in the environment. Pointing it at a locked safe or door sometimes reveals whether a hint is nearby, guiding you toward the right clue location without aimless searching.
- Write down codes before visiting the safes: Some puzzles are located far from the safe they unlock. Noting the number after finding the hint prevents the frustrating experience of forgetting the code during the walk to the safe.
- Chapter Select lets you use codes on replay without re-finding hints: On any subsequent playthrough via chapter select, you can enter all codes immediately from memory. This makes completionist runs significantly faster than first playthroughs.
Common Mistakes 007 First Light Safe Code Players Make
- Trying to guess codes by brute force: Some players try entering random numbers when they cannot find a code. This always fails and alerts nearby guards due to the failed input sound. Fix: find the environmental hint first. Every code in the game has a discoverable clue within the same chapter.
- Missing the wine bottle hint in the Manager’s Office: Players often look directly at the safe and miss the wine bottle across the room that provides the combination. Fix: always scan the full room before interacting with a safe or locked door. The hint is almost always within the same space.
- Confusing the archive code with the laundry code: Both are numeric and both are in or near the Manager’s Office area. Fix: read the notes carefully. The archive room note (1864) and laundry note (1805) are visually distinct, and the safe code is derived from the wine bottle (1952) rather than any written note.
