Finding the Alan Wake 2 shotgun code will allow you to get the Cauldron Lake general store weapon for Saga, which is hugely useful in the battles ahead against the Taken. Conveniently, the code just requires a little a bit of detective work to figure out but it's all contained within the general store, so you don't have to go far. The main challenge is trying to figure out what "Lady Fortuna" means exactly, so if you're looking to quickly crack open case with the Alan Wake 2 shotgun code, I can help you out.
How to get the shotgun code in Alan Wake 2
You'll no doubt have stumbled across the shotgun in the lockbox on the wall of the general store while looking for Nightingale's heart in Alan Wake 2. In order to unlock it though, you'll need to find the three-number code to the padlock.
On the lockbox itself, there's a post-it note that reads "Check with Lady Fortuna at the counter". This is the first clue, so turn back around and head towards the front counter of the general store.
You'll see the front counter here - with this 'Thank you for shopping here' sign hanging above it.
Check the front counter near the till
Go around the back of the counter and you'll see a notepad next to the register and a small old-fashioned Rolodex. The pad is the most important thing for figuring out the padlock code for the shotgun, but the Rolodex entry gives away that you're in the right place, as it's been left on the contact details for a Madame Agnieszka, for palm reading and crystal ball gazing.
You'll see on the notepad the numbers - 705, 713, 717, and 723 - have been crossed out with a note to "update code" next to them. Right by the side of the notepad though is a lotto ticket, with the numbers 05, 13, 17, 23, 39, 45 as the chosen ones.
The next one in the sequence with the pad vs the lotto numbers is 39, and because each of the numbers has a 7 in front, you'll now know that the padlock code for the shotgun is 739.
Use the code 739 to unlock the shotgun padlock
Then all that's left to do is head back to the shotgun padlock and put in the 739 code. This will give you access to the shotgun immediately and also give you the 'Bring It' achievement. It's also the first of several Alan Wake 2 weapons you can get for Saga. Be sure to look out for Alan Wake 2 lunch boxes too so you can upgrade your shotty's shadow-blasting capabilities.
