Note: The following article contains some non-story SPOILERS.
While Alan Wake 2 gives its two heroes a basic pistol by default, there are a number of more useful weapons that can be optionally acquired, although all of them require a bit of puzzle-solving to get your hands on. Co-protagonist Saga Anderson has a slightly larger arsenal than her counterpart, being able to acquire a crossbow, hunting rifle, and a pair of shotguns throughout the course of the game. Here’s how to acquire all of Saga’s weapons so you can go into the darkness feeling prepared…
Near the end of the second the second chapter of Saga’s campaign, you’ll find yourself inside the General Store. After you take out the deer-masked cultist inside, you’ll find the sawed-off shotgun in a case in the same back room where you find Nightingale’s heart. You’ll need a 3-digit combination to open the lock.
Head back to the cash register, and you’ll find a note about changing the combination and a lotto ticket. The solution is a 7 followed by the 5th lotto number. In other words – 739.
Head back to the case, enter the combination and the shotgun is yours!
While exploring the northeast part of the Watery map, you’ll find a shooting range. Look closer at the shooting range. You’ll find arrows stuck in a series of numbers. Specifically – 527.
Enter this code into a nearby Cult Stash to claim the Crossbow.
While exploring the Wellness Center, you’ll come upon the Workshop, which is inaccessible because it’s missing a doorknob.
Move to the security room to your left and check out the illuminated computer. A passcode is needed. Thankfully, there a several clues in this room as to what the code is. You’ll find a document referring to a ritual that takes place after new moons.
A calendar on the bulletin board on the wall indicates the dates of recent new moons – you’re looking for the most recent one, which happened on August 16. The password is the date after that, formatted European-style (day-month-year). So, long story short, the code for the computer is – 170823.
Enter the code and then turn of the security door locks. Exit the security room via the door opposite the one you came in from. Turn right, and you’ll see the security doors near Reception are now open. Head through them, then into the lounge, then behind the Reception desk.
In a cardboard box under the desk you’ll find the doorknob. Head back to the Workshop and use the knob on the door. The hunting rifle is in an open locker inside.
