How to get into the Coffee World gift shop in Alan Wake 2
First things first, you need to actually get into the gift shop in order to get to the safe beneath the counter. This part is relatively self-explanatory, but you'll have to do a couple of things in order to gain access. There's a note outside the Coffee Shop detailing equipment that was used previously, and where to find it, so you should be able to locate the screwdriver fairly quickly. Once you've found the screwdriver, head back to the Coffee Shop gift shop and open the door.
How to find the Coffee World safe code in Alan Wake 2
Once you're in, if you head over to the counter you'll see the safe with a handy note sitting on top of it, courtesy of the Koskela brothers. It'll mention the code for the safe, with the old password being "Lookout, Fixer, Supplier" and the new password is "Tracker, Lookout, Cleaner." Unfortunately, the safe itself is locked with a numerical keypad, so the words at this point mean next to nothing.
To crack this code, you'll need to head back the way you came towards the exit until you see a board on the wall among the shelves with photos of the Coffee World gift shop employees tacked onto it. Each of these employee photos will have a certain amount of coffee bean stickers beside their image. This is what you need to use to decipher the safe code.

In order to make sense of the Koskela brothers' code, you need to take a look at what each employee's job title is. With the code being "Tracker, Lookout, Cleaner," you should be able to decipher that the Tracker is the Lost and Found employee, who has one coffee bean sticker beside their picture, and the Lookout is the Security employee who has four coffee bean stickers attached to their image. Then lastly, the Janitor employee, so the "Cleaner" in the code, has six coffee bean stickers on their photo.
That means that the code for the Alan Wake 2 Coffee World safe is 146. If you head back to the safe beneath the counter and input this code using the keypad, the door should open and you'll be able to get Saga's trailer key.
There you have it, that's everything you need to know about how to crack the code for the Coffee World gift shop safe. For more Alan Wake 2 guides, be sure to check out how to get the Sawed-Off Shotgun, as well as our full list of Alan Wake 2 missions.
