Alan Wake 2: Unveiling the Crossbow's Stash Code

How (And Where) To Get the Crossbow Stash Code in Alan Wake 2

In Alan Wake 2, players can embark on Alan and Saga's adventures through Bright Falls and the Dark Place, equipped with an array of formidable weapons to aid them in their mission. Among these weapons is the highly sought-after crossbow, renowned for its ability to silently eliminate enemies and its unique feature of recoverable ammunition. Obtaining this crossbow not only enhances players' combat effectiveness but also grants them the prestigious Greatest Hits Trophy/Achievement. To discover the exact location and method of acquiring this powerful weapon, refer to the details provided below.

As players assume the role of Saga Anderson in the chapter titled "Return 3: Local Girl," their initial objective involves interacting with the indigenous population residing in the vicinity of Watery. Eventually, they will be directed towards a meandering forest trail leading north towards the Coffee World Shop in Alan Wake 2. Along this path, players are likely to stumble upon a secure room located inside a cabin, portrayed below:

The area outside the secure chamber also features a cult chest. This chest holds the crossbow, but it remains locked initially, requiring a three-digit code. Players must carefully search the vicinity for clues that will unlock the chest and grant access to the crossbow itself.

To the right of this chest lies a shooting range where cultists seem to have honed their skills. On careful inspection, players will discover numbered targets adorned with bolts, fired into a few of them.

The bolts have been looted in this screenshot, but the code is confirmed to be as below.

Players can match the number of bolts buried in three of the target numbers to deduce the chest code: 5-2-7.

1 bolt in target #5

2 bolts in target #2

3 bolts in targe #7

5-2-7 is the crossbow chest code

Players now have the opportunity to input this code and access the container, where they can retrieve the crossbow. Additionally, they will come across an eerie note left by the cult. This action will also unlock the highly coveted Greatest Hits trophy/achievement.

The crossbow occupies 3 inventory slots, while each bolt ammunition occupies only 1 slot, up to a maximum of 4 per slot. Equipped with this lethal weapon, players can now face the challenges of the Watery area in Alan Wake 2 with increased confidence and preparedness.
