Quick Links
As Joel and Ellie make their way across the Cordyceps ravaged United States, The Last of Us Part 1 players are encouraged to scavenge whatever they can find to help upgrade their skills in combat and stealth. From finding supplements to looting weapon parts, players make use of a variety of tools in The Last of Us Part 1 to help them upgrade their gear to tackle increasingly difficult enemy encounters.
One way in which players can find and loot these precious upgrade tools is by cracking safes left behind by the inhabitants of this world. While The Last of Us Part 1 has introduced the crafty method of unlocking safes by sound alone, the key to successfully opening safes is by finding their nearby combinations. This guide will show players where to find all four safesand their combinations in The Last of Us Part 1 to get the "Sticky Fingers" trophy.
The Outskirts | Downtown
This chapter begins with Ellie, Joel, and Tess making their way outside the Boston quarantine zone. Eventually, the trio will cut through a skyscraper and drop into some subway tunnels that are infested with fungus monsters. In the area where the player must get by a number of Clickers and Runners to reach a ladder on the far side, the player can find some shops on either side of the station.
Sticking to the left from where Joel enters, take out a dormant Runner along the corner and head into the shop, making sure to avoid the Clicker patrolling the area. Vaulting over the counter, this safe combination artifact can be found in a drawer on the other side.
Combination: 03-43-78.
The safe for this code is found in the Round Note store directly opposite this one, on the other side of the platform, behind another counter.
Bill’s Town | The Woods
A little while into this chapter, Joel and Ellie will work together to unlock the gate leading onto the main street. Heading all the way to the far end of the road, Joel will reach a barricade adorned with barbed wire; the safe combination artifact can be found caught in the wire.
Combination: 5-17-21.
Halfway down this same road is an old pickup truck on the right near the evacuation sign. The safe is found on the ground next to the pickup truck.
Pittsburgh | Hotel Lobby
After exploring the city, The Last of Us' iconic duo will end up following a pair of Hunters into a hotel lobby after crossing a flooded section with a plank. Inside, grab the ladder to reach the second floor, and instead of heading left, shimmy along the ledge to the right to find the combination on the floor.
Combination: 22-10-56.
Dropping back down, the safe for this chapter is found in a room adjacent to the check-in desk, in which the player can find a training manual.
The Suburbs | Suburbs
This safe is found after escaping the sewers and entering the Pittsburgh suburbs. Before climbing down onto the wide street below, explore the last house in this area past the ice cream truck and near the dead end. The combination is found atop a desk in the attic. On the inside of a matchbook, players will see the code.
Combination: 08-21-36.
The safe is found one floor down, inside a bedroom wardrobe.
The Last of Us Part 1 is currently exclusive to PS5 and is in development for PC.
