The Silent Hill 2 Remake bug room code is almost certainly something you're trying to work out in a panic as insects attack you from every angle. The keypad combination is actually random across each playthrough of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, but while there's there's no specific answer you can narrow it down via a specific set of numbers. It's just a case of running through all the various possibilities until you find out the current combination. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

How to solve the Bug Room code in the Silent Hill 2 Remake

The code to the bug room in Silent Hill 2 is some combination of the numbers 2,3 and 9 (at least on normal puzzle difficulty). When you examine the keypad these are the numbers that are clean, implying being pressed has worn the dirt and blood off them. In that sense, this puzzle makes a little more sense than the Silent Hill 2 Remake rings puzzle back in the hospital before this.

There is a catch though and that is there is simply no way to narrow down the answer beyond those three clue numbers. So you'll just have to run through all six combinations of those numbers until you find the right random entry for the keypad, which will be one of these:

  • 239
  • 293
  • 329
  • 392
  • 923
  • 932

The room constantly spawning in insects mean that you'll have to break away from the keypad at least once or twice to kill them so you don't take enough damage to die (after all, we did mention the importance of watching the ground level around you in our Silent Hill 2 Remake tips page).
