The Black Ops 6 keypad decryption puzzle is a simple Mastermind game where a decryption log shows what numbers you guess are correct or in the right place. Solving it means what your guesses reveal and then rearranging them, or making new ones until all the numbers are green. At which point the door will open...

This will be the first thing you can do once you've solved the Black Ops 6 piano puzzle and managed to light the Black ops 6 boiler to open up the secret basement. You need to solve both of these to get into the secret basement and then this eventually opens up the way forward.

The Black Ops 6 keypad code was 15725 for me. However, that might not be the case for you, and the codes changes if you run out of guesses and start over. As I mentioned above, if that's the case then you'll need to guess some numbers and see what the colors tell you: 

  • Green - The right number in the right place.
  • Yellow - The right number in the wrong place.
  • Red - The wrong number period.

Using the black light will reveal which keys have finger prints on which will help narrow down your numbers choices and, if it looks like there's two finger prints anywhere, it probably means the number was used twice. Just keep putting in numbers and seeing what colors pop up until you get them all green. At that point the door will pop open and you can get inside. 

Once you get past this door you'll be able hack the Black Ops 6 computer via a cipher puzzle, which is the next step to eventually getting the Black Ops 6 safe code
