There’s quite a bit standing in your way on Talos I in Prey, and the Typhon certainly act as the biggest hurdle. While you try out new abilities and weapons, and find out new ways to exploit the system and craft exciting tools of the trade, you may find yourself locked out of important areas.
We’ve put together this hacking guide, which may help you get through pesky locked doors, safes, and other objects locked behind keys. There’s another way to get into locked out areas on Talos I, and that’s by actually exploring and finding the different keycodes, passwords, and keycards scattered throughout the place.
While having the hacking ability is useful, it’s going to cost you precious neuromods, so you should always spend the time looking around for passwords written down, and keys scattered about the place. Sometimes you’ll find codes and passwords hidden within emails and audio recording, which are particularly important to investigate.
Many of the objects in Prey are not static, meaning only a handful of passwords are exactly the same from game to game. Below you’ll find a list of static passwords, as well as where to find the keys and passwords for non-static locks and safes.
