Hack the computer in Black Ops 6 as part of the safehouse puzzle challenges, and you’ll be rewarded with a large stack of credits. This Call of Duty hacking puzzle is found in the basement during the campaign, shortly after you decrypt the Black Ops 6 keypad code. It may look complex at first since all you’re given is a screen filled with random letters and a numeral code, but once you understand the assignment, hacking the computer won’t take long. 

Don’t worry if you’re struggling; we’ll help you solve the Black Ops 6 cipher puzzle and bring you one step closer to the Black Ops 6 safe code.

How to decode the Black Ops 6 cipher and hack the computer

To hack the computer in Black Ops 6 you need to solve the cipher by matching the number to the code, spelling out words on the screen. The cipher appears at the bottom of the monitor where you can see a sequence of letters, which for me was this:

O T M H D I A G N L

These line up with some numbers which again, for me, were these:

2 4 3 1 9 7 6 0 8 5

At the top of the screen you'll see one code word at a time, appearing as a series of numbers. To solve this you need to match the number to the cipher letter and input that in the relevant space. Each time you solve one a new one appears, so all you have to do is work through each in turn and keep matching the numbers to the letters.

My code words were:

  • 450638
  • 4331
  • 9042
  • 1259780

These eventually translate into the message: BUNKER ROOM OPEN HOLDING

This could be different for you you as the game seems to like reordering these words between playthroughs.

Once you complete this message a new door will open in the safe house basement. That will lead to some lockpicking, and that will get you a key that accesses the Black Ops 6 Radio signal puzzle, your last stop on the way to getting the safe open.

Hacking the Black Ops 6 computer is a basic code breaking challenge using the ciphers you're given on screen. While the words are always the same, the orders change, so you can't always look up an answer.
