• Entering the code to open the lock

First locked door

You will come across the first locked door within the first minutes of the game, after completing the prologue and waking up in the Healing Suite on the Medical deck. The doors prevent you from leaving the clinic and exploring the rest of the Citadel's first deck.

Entering the code to open the lock

As a reminder, the combination 451 (later changed to 0451) is a tradition started by two classic parts System Shock and was continued in most of the subsequent games of the immersive sim genre, such as Deus Ex, Dishonored or Bioshock.

The famous code 451 is also available in System Shock Remake. You enter it without adding zero at the beginning, because all electronic keyboards in the game accept only 3-digit combinations. By entering the code correctly, you will open the door and be ready to defeat the first mutant.

You can also optionally find the flash drive with the first combination to the door. Examine the southern side of the room, open the lower hatch and crouch down to get to the control room.

In the southern room, you will find a flash drive with saved text message New Code. You can now read it. It confirms that the correct door code for Healing Suites is 451.
