A game that doesn’t hold your hand, Prey really makes you work to get your loot and access to the next area. Within the game, dozens of passwords and keycodes are scattered around on terminals, notes, or hidden in various other unlikely places that players might never think to look in. Due to this, it’s common for players to miss out on quite a few locations.

The game’s access codes are divided into three categories: passwords, keycodes that never change, and keycodes that are randomized every time but can be found in set locations. This means that among keycodes, only a handful will remain the same from one playthrough to another, while the rest will be randomized but still discovered at set spots in the game.

Disclaimer: Please note that if an entry does not include a code, that means it is randomly generated.

Neuromod Division Safe

The first safe you’ll discover once out of the simulation, within the Neuromod Division at the very beginning of the game.

  • Code: 5150

Security Booth And Security Station

In the main entrance hall of the Neuromod Division, the corpse of Divya Naaz will eventually spawn after a quest from Alex Yu sends you back here. The keycode for both locations will be on a note near her corpse.

Morgan’s Office

At the top of the stairwell on the right side of Talos I Lobby is Morgan’s office. Consult the terminal outside of it the grab this code.

  • Code: 0451

Security Station Safe

Just before the stairs leading up to Morgan’s office, take the path down to the security station. You can access the room through a vent above the door. The safe inside will have some useful loot.

  • Code: 0526

Security Station Holding Chamber

Inside the Security Station of the lobby is a small holding room with a corpse inside. To get to it, you’ll find a code for it at the desk.

  • Code: 1129

Volunteer Quarters

This is the code to the upper room of the Neuromod Division lobby. Head to the Executive Offices in the lobby, and inspect the terminal of Bianca Goodwin to find it. It’s not recommended to go there early in the game due to tough enemies.

I.T. Department

The I.T. Department is one of the rooms on the left stairwell of the lobby. It’s also a code that seemingly can’t be found anywhere in the game, except when inspecting its source code. Note: this room is also known as I.T. Security. It’s also possible to hack the door with Hacking I.

Pilot’s Lounge

Head up to the staff lounge in Talos I lobby. You can make your way through by jumping over a railing to get to a balcony, and then access the lounge. Find Octavia’s corpse and listen to the TranScribe titled “This Isn’t a Drill”. The Pilot’s lounge will be relevant much later on in the game.

Psychotronics’ Armory

  • Code: 8714

Maintenance Tunnel

One of the toughest codes to find, you need to get to Kimberly Bomo’s corpse. She’s floating inside the access tunnel itself, behind some of the pipes that run down the length of the tunnel, so check around diligently.

Inside the Magnetosphere chamber, go to the bathroom and remove the toilet rolls on the shelf to reveal a note. You can now open the safe inside the room.

Executive Suites

There are a few ways to find this code, so pick whatever path you find the easiest. All of these are found in the Crew Quarters. This will give you access to the grav shaft leading upstairs from the main lobby.

  • Inside the Fitness Center, check Emma Beatty’s terminal for an email titled “Personal Training Session”. Inside the Recycler Room on the second floor, read a small note found on the table. Inside Will Mitchell’s private cabin, read the email titled “Food Request For Alex”.

Stairwell In Deep Storage

The pesky stairwell with a Phantom waiting within needs a keycode to be accessed, and it can be found easily on Zachary West’s terminal nearby.

Deep Storage Safe

Get to Danielle Sho’s workstation. There’s a note behind her actual terminal that will have the code to this specific safe.

Dr. Igwe’s Container
