Finding the General Store

The first step in your quest for the shotgun is to locate the general store. Saga visits this store during her second chapter, “The Heart.” The store is hard to miss and is a key location in the game.

Locating the Lockbox Code

The code for the lock is found by checking a notepad and a lotto ticket at the front counter of the store. The numbers 705, 713, 717, and 723 have been crossed out on the notepad, and the lotto ticket has the numbers 05, 13, 17, 23, 39, 45. After some deduction, you’ll find that the code is 739.

Unlocking the Shotgun

Once you have the code, head over to the lockbox and input 739. This will unlock the box and grant you access to the shotgun. This shotgun will be Saga’s second weapon and is great for taking out both regular and powerful enemies.

Achievements and Difficulty Levels

Unlocking the shotgun also gives you the “Bring It” achievement. It’s worth noting that the code might be randomized depending on the difficulty level, so keep that in mind. We played on Standard, and this was the code that we got.

To sum up, the shotgun in Alan Wake 2 can be found in a lockbox in the general store. The code for this lockbox is 739, and it’s found by checking a notepad and a lotto ticket at the front counter of the store. Unlocking the shotgun will also grant you the “Bring It” achievement.
