Safes are among the most valuable collectibles in NTE. Each safe contains rare materials, FONS, or limited items. However, safes are locked — you must find password clues to open them.
Safe Mechanics
- Safes are hidden throughout the map
- Each requires a 3-6 digit code
- Password clues are scattered nearby (notes, computer files, NPC dialogue)
- Some passwords are universal, others randomized per player
- One-time rewards upon opening
Rewards Per Safe
- Large FONS amounts (2000-5000)
- Rare character ascension materials
- Advanced disks
- Weapon upgrade materials
- Some limited items
