The challenge of Otto’s Lock in The Outer Worlds 2 presents players with a complex mechanism involving 11 levers that must be activated in a precise sequence. Located within Free Market Station, this puzzle requires progression through a faction-related questline to access. To unlock its secrets, strategic use of late-game equipment becomes essential for revealing hidden pathways.
Locating Otto’s Lock
Accessing this perplexing mechanism requires collaborating with the Sub Rosa organization. Complete specific tasks for Emeline Galloway in Fairway’s greenhouse to obtain coordinates for Free Market Station. Navigate through its entrance zone until discovering a Rift Anomaly chamber. After crouching through a narrow passage and ascending a ladder, the puzzle interface awaits.
Mechanism Resolution
The solution depends on analyzing electrical connections visible through the N-Ray Scanner obtained during Golden Ridge missions. Observe which levers complete circuits toward the tri-light door panel. For those preferring direct instructions:
- Activate upper row’s rightmost two levers, then middle row’s diagonally aligned left switch
- Toggle lower row’s leftmost lever after middle row’s initial right pair
- Engage bottom row’s far right switch, then adjacent left levers followed by their diagonal counterpart
