These combinations are transcribed from a Steam Community guide by John Fray, which says it was updated May 20, 2026. The page now displays a removal notice, so treat the entries as a useful secondary reference rather than official confirmation.

Cost of Hope codes
The expansion entries below come from a KeenGamer guide dated August 23, 2026. The guide reports selected rewards and contexts; its indexed list does not establish that every expansion code is covered.
| Location and object | Code | Guide-reported context or reward |
|---|---|---|
| Builder Camp safe | 1986 | Berill-5M armored suit; camp is in southeastern Iron Forest. |

Do not confuse the Distant Mirage gate with the locker
The guide gives 3008 as a story code for a required gate on the Distant Mirage route. It is not the optional blue locker’s combination, which is 8536.

When a code does not work
Check the target before trying combinations again. Several locations have nearby keypads protecting different objects, and the base-game and expansion lists are separate.
- Confirm the object and landmark: Army Warehouses has a door code and a distinct locker-room safe code; Malachite Mall likewise has a door and a separate safe.
- Check the game content: entries labeled Cost of Hope apply to the expansion, not necessarily a base-game location with a similar name.
- Meet access conditions: a quest route may be involved; at SWYD-West Checkpoint the guide says keypad power must be restored and an electrical barrier bypassed. A correct combination does not by itself guarantee access to the keypad.
- Compare guide dates and updates: GSC Game World’s September 23, 2025 Update 1.6 notes a rebalance of stash loot, while its July 29, 2025 Patch 1.5.2 notice cautions that a patch can shift the Zone’s structure. These notices do not confirm or invalidate any particular code.
How complete is this code list?
The base-game guide presents its index as all current codes as of May 2026, and the expansion guide indexes twelve entries as of August 23, 2026. Neither is a developer-published code database, and the available coverage does not establish a definitive inventory for all content through October 2026. Use the location and object labels to resolve apparent conflicts rather than merging codes that may refer to different keypads.
