To hack the computer in Black Ops 6 you'll need to solve a cipher and work out a coded message. It's simple, if fiddly, but if you're having problems matching the number and letters, I've solved it all for you. Here's what to do and how. 

You'll find the computer in the room you access once you've managed to decrypt the Black ops 6 keypad code. Solving this puzzle will let you move on, and bring you one step closer to getting the BO6 Safe code

To hack the computer in Black Ops 6 you need to solve the cipher by matching the number to the code, spelling out words on the screen. The cipher appears at the bottom of the monitor where you can see a sequence of letters, which for me was this:

O T M H D I A G N L

These line up with some numbers which again, for me, were these: 

2 4 3 1 9 7 6 0 8 5

At the top of the screen  you'll see one code word at a time, appearing as a series of numbers. To solve this you need to match the number to the cipher letter and input that in the relevant space. Each time you solve one a new one appears, so all you have to do is work through each in turn and keep matching the numbers to the letters. 

My code words were: 

  • 450638
  • 4331
  • 9042
  • 1259780

These eventually translate into the message: BUNKER ROOM OPEN HOLDING

This could be different for you you as the game seems to like reordering these words between playthroughs.

Once you complete this message a new door will open in the safe house basement. That will lead to some lockpicking, and that will get you a key that accesses the Black Ops 6 Radio signal puzzle, your last stop on the way to getting the safe open.
