Updated September 1st, 2021 by Russ Boswell:Fallout 76 continues to grow and evolve, regardless of its less-than-stellar launch. Dedicated fans of the series have a lot to look forward to if developers continue to give attention to the open-world multiplayer adventure. Part of the charm of this journey is the storyline that new vault dwellers can progress through. Although it’s mandatory (from a story perspective) to find and receive theGauley Mine ID card, it can be difficult for some players to locate the code needed to open the cage surrounding it. To better help new players, this guide has been updated.
The Gauley Mine Code
For those players that may not have gotten to the point of using theGauley Mine keycardand are instead interested in learning how to unlock the aforementioned cage, that is done by using theGauley Mine codeinFallout 76. This code can be found on a bulletin board directly across from the cage, and the door will be opened once the code has been entered into theGauley Mine keypad. To saveFO76fansa bit of time,the Gauley Mine code is 071990.
To note, hunting down codes and keycards is no small part ofFallout 76, and indeed players will find themselves searching for another series of numbers when they eventually come across the game’s Mysterious Cave. However, unlike theGauley Mine code, theMysterious Cave codecan not simply be transcribed, as it is unique to every player.
