The Alan Wake 2 crossbow stash has what is advertised on the box: a crossbow. This weapon can be cumbersome since it locks Saga down when she reloads it, but can deal some devastating damage, especially when players buy the charge upgrade. Here’s the code to unlock the crossbow stash in Watery in Alan Wake 2.
What is the crossbow unlock code in Alan Wake 2?
To open the crossbow stash in Alan Wake 2, you need to pay close attention to the immediate area around the stash in Watery. There are a number of different papers with numbers on them, which are the key to finding the code to unlock this stash.
And while there are plenty of numbers, there are a few that stick out. The paper with the 2, 5, and 7 are all a little different in that they have arrows in them. These are the important ones. And while you can shuffle these around to get the code, paying close attention will mean you do not have to guess.
The 5 has one arrow in it, the 2 has two arrows in it, and the 7 has three arrows in it, pointing out that the code is 527. Go to the lock on the stash in Watery and punch that in to unlock the crossbow.
The stash does not have anything else in it, but make sure to pick up the crossbow bolts in the number papers for six extra shots. The game also does not automatically assign the crossbow to a slot on the D-pad, so be sure to give it one.
The crossbow is a unique weapon. Its shots can be extremely powerful, but it is a high-risk, high-reward weapon since reloading can leave you vulnerable. Saga can’t move while putting in another bolt, but tapping the dodge button will still get her out of the way. There is an upgrade in the mind place that lets you have two bolts load, which can cut down on reload time. There’s also another upgrade that can let you charge a shot, making the bolts you fire even stronger.
