Alan Wake 2: Code combination for shotgun case in General Store

Shotgun case in Alan Wake 2

This Alan Wake 2 guide details the code combination for the shotgun case in the General Store at Cauldron Lake.

Alan Wake 2 is packed full of puzzles to solve. From nursery rhymes to cult stashes, there are lots of secrets to discover. Some of them feature recurring elements whereas others require unique solutions.

In pursuit of Nightingale, Anderson and Casey venture back to Cauldron. It is late in the day and the twilight sun peaks through the trees as the FBI agents revisit the crime scene.

Unsurprisingly, Nightingale isn’t there. Anderson then sets off to explore the surrounding woodland with the aim of finding Nightingale.

To track down the monster, Anderson learns of a ritual to open the Overlap between the real world and the Dark Place. This ritual requires Nightingale’s heart which one of Alan Wake’s manuscripts implies is in the general store.

When you visit the general store, a cultist is waiting to ambush you. However, after defeating them and retrieving the heart, you will come across a shotgun case on the wall. This case requires a code combination to open.

So, let’s take a look at the code combination for the shotgun case in the General Store in Alan Wake 2.

The code itself isn’t written down anywhere; however, a note on the cashier’s counter explains that the code is changed regularly.

From the previous codes and the numbers on the lottery ticket, I deduced that the code must be 739.

If you return to the case and turn the dials on the lock to 7-3-9, the case will open and you will obtain the double barrel shotgun.

The shotgun is an incredibly powerful weapon that is capable of dispatching enemies much more quickly than the pistol. It is also really useful in the fight against Nightingale.
