Black Ops 6 keypad puzzles are difficult to solve as you may find yourself inspecting every nook and cranny while looking for a hidden keypad code. The solution to this campaign puzzle is far simpler than that, but you’ll have to know the secret trick. Here’s a hint: it involves fingerprints and a special light source.

You can find the first Call of Duty keypad decryption puzzle in the basement during any of the ‘The Rook’ intermission chapters. After you’ve solved the Black Ops 6 piano puzzle and the boiler puzzle, here’s how to get the keypad code.

Black Ops 6 key pad solution

The Black Ops 6 keypad code was 15725 for me. However, that might not be the case for you, and the codes changes if you run out of guesses and start over. As I mentioned above, if that's the case then you'll need to guess some numbers and see what the colors tell you:

Green - The right number in the right place.
Yellow - The right number in the wrong place.
Red - The wrong number period.

Using the black light will reveal which keys have finger prints on which will help narrow down your numbers choices and, if it looks like there's two finger prints anywhere, it probably means the number was used twice. Just keep putting in numbers and seeing what colors pop up until you get them all green. At that point the door will pop open and you can get inside.

Once you get past this door you'll be able hack the Black Ops 6 computer via a cipher puzzle, which is the next step to eventually getting the Black Ops 6 safe code.

Solving Black ops 6 keypad codes is basically a mix of deduction and guesswork as you narrow down your options with the black light and then test your guesses to whittle away the answer.
