The Last of Us Part 1 safe codes

If you’re not bothered about finding each of the safe combinations and would rather save yourself some time and input the codes directly, you can find them below. Just be aware that you’ll miss out on artifacts if you skip them.

Here are the four The Last of Us safe code combinations:

The Last of Us Outskirts safe code location

The safe and code are both found in the Downtown section of the Outskirts, inside two darkened shops in the subway. A shop on the left side contains thesafe code: you can find the piece of paper it’s written on in a drawer behind the counter.

On the other hand, thesafeis inside a shop on the right side of the subway, almost opposite the one with the code. There are quite a few infected around, and you’re going to have to take out at least one of them to access the safe here, which is found beneath the counter in this shop.

The Last of Us Bill’s Town safe code location

Once you reach Bill’s Town and arrive at an overgrown street with abandoned shops after lifting Ellie over the fence, look for the eatery on the corner with the roof over the entrance. You’ll find thesafeon the grass to the right, near a red pickup truck.

Thecodeto open this safe is a little further down the road, just past the RV at the end. The piece of paper it’s written on is attached to the barbed wire fence here.

The Last of Us Pittsburgh safe code location

Thecodefor this safe is a little trickier to locate. Once you reach the hotel and enter the flooded lobby, wade through the water to the left of the main stairs and look for a ladder propped up on your left. Pick up the ladder and head back towards the staircase, and use the ladder on the wall directly ahead. Once up the ladder, head right across the narrow ledge and look for the paper on the floor on the other side.

Thankfully, thesafeis also in the lobby. Head back towards the window you entered through and head left until you reach the counter. Go behind here and look for an open door, and you’ll find the safe on the ground, just inside and to the left.

The Last of Us Suburbs safe code location

The last safe and its code are both found inside a white house with a red cross painted on the outside, near the ice cream truck. Head inside and climb the stairs to the top floor. Find the matchbook with thecodein the room found here.

Now for thesafe. Head down one flight of stairs and go into the master bedroom on the left. You’ll find the safe here on your right as you enter.
