In the zombie-ravaged world of Dying Light: The Beast, safes represent tantalizing opportunities for players to score premium loot like legendary firearms, medical supplies, and stacks of sellable valuables. Scattered throughout the haunting expanses of Castor Woods, these locked strongboxes demand precise three-digit combinations, often concealed through clever environmental puzzles, notes, or visual hints. Cracking them not only yields immediate rewards but also fuels your progression in this gripping survival horror experience.
This exhaustive guide compiles every confirmed safe code discovered across the map, organized by region and quest association. Whether you’re exploring abandoned buildings in Old Town, delving into sewer networks during side missions, or hunting treasure maps in remote farmlands, we’ll detail exact locations, how to uncover the combos, and what spoils await. Expect a mix of straightforward dates, binary conversions, UV-revealed secrets, and subtle clues hidden in family photos or chalkboards. By the end, you’ll be a master safe-cracker, turning every padlock into profit.
Why Safes Matter in Dying Light The Beast
Safes aren’t mere side distractions—they’re economic powerhouses. Most drop ‘Valuables’ bundles that fetch high prices from traders, funding weapon upgrades and vehicle repairs essential for late-game survival. Others dispense rare Military Medkits for clutch heals or unique items like music boxes tied to emotional story beats. Legendary weapons, such as the Sunray Revolver, can dramatically shift combat dynamics against hulking beasts and volatile hordes.
Clues vary in complexity: some are blatant calendar markings, others require translating binary code from school blackboards or shining a UV light on graffiti. Missing even one means forfeiting gear that could mean life or death in Castor Woods’ relentless nights. Our list draws from extensive playthroughs, covering over 30 safes, ensuring you claim them all without trial-and-error frustration.
Old Town Safes: Urban Exploration Hotspots
Old Town’s crumbling streets hide some of the game’s earliest and most rewarding safes, often nestled in derelict homes and offices amid infected patrols.
- Abandoned Rocker House (D6, North of Vanity Store Dark Zone): Punch in 2-2-19, referencing the Bloody Rabbits concert date scribbled nearby. Reward: Sunray Legendary Revolver + ammo— a game-changer for precision headshots.
- Emil’s Brick School (Director’s Office): Decode the blackboard’s binary as 5-40-90 (convert 101 to 5, 101000 to 40, 1011010 to 90). Yields valuables for quick cash.
- A Love Letter Safe: Flip the dog’s picture to reveal 11-14-20. Simple valuables inside.
- Supermarket Parcel Dropbox Locker: Direct code 65-63-35. Old World Money + valuables.
- Passport Office: 11-51-16 unlocks standard valuables.
Pro Tip: Dark Zones amplify tension—use night vision and silencers to approach undetected.
Quest-Linked Safes: Story-Driven Rewards
Many safes tie into quests, blending narrative with loot hunts. These often demand progressing side stories for access.

| Hydro Puzzle (Sewer Stash) | 21-69-35 | UV Flashlight on wall | Valuables + Old World Money |

These integrate seamlessly with quests like Hydro Puzzle and Last Wish, where safes advance both story and inventory.
Farmlands and Treasure Map Safes: High-Risk, High-Reward
Venture into rural outskirts for premium hauls via treasure maps and parcel lockers.
- Hidden Attic (D3 Treasure Map, Hardware Store): Note by TV gives 12-25-55. Medkit + 5x Legendary Regeneration Boosters.
- Nate Market Package Locker: 8-74-27 or variants like 087427 from messages.
- Gummy Bears Safe: 18-20-66.
- Golden Pine Motel: 86-15-10.
- Farmlands Last Wish variants: 71-61-45, 11-17-8.
Treasure maps (A4 Bunker, B4 Convoy) lead to access cards and elite pistols—prioritize these for military enemy drops.
Industrial and Remote Safes: Overlooked Gems
Less-traveled areas pack surprises:
- Industrial Park: 85-20-48.
- Infected Experiment Chamber: 15-22-40.
- Railway Station: 12-25-55 or 658335 for lockers.
- Taurus Gas Station: Key-based, leads to Volatile Trophy Charm.
Safe-Cracking Strategies and Troubleshooting
General rules: Codes are always three numbers, left-to-right. Ignore leading zeros (09 = 9). Scan for notes, photos, blackboards, and UV spots. If stuck, replay quest audio logs or check nearby drawers. Nighttime boosts UV visibility but ramps infected aggression—balance risk.
Common pitfalls: Misreading binary (use a converter app offline), overlooking flipped pictures, or entering post-decimal codes raw. Rewards scale with discovery order, so systematic sweeping pays off.
