The safe in Webb’s Office is one of the most talked-about puzzles in 007 First Light. It sits in the middle of the Knightfall mission, and you cannot skip it — it is a main story objective. The clues are scattered around the Penthouse, and if you miss them, the puzzle can feel frustrating. This guide walks you through every step: where to find the safe, how to read the clues, what the code is, and how to get the Crackerjack challenge without any stress.

Which Mission Has the Safe in Webb’s Office?

The safe is located in the Knightfall mission. This is the Webb Industries Penthouse mission where James Bond infiltrates the office of Sir Nicholas Webb. Your main goal is to reach a location called “The Perch,” but before you can do that, you must locate and open the safe in Webb’s private office area.

This is not an optional task. The game requires you to open the safe to progress the story. You will receive information for Isola once the safe is cracked.

How to Find the Safe in Webb’s Office

When you arrive in the Penthouse, walk to the back of the room. You will see Webb’s large main desk. Here is what to do:

1. Walk up to Webb’s desk at the back of the Penthouse.
2. Interact with the drawer on the desk. This triggers a secret button.
3. Press the secret button. The safe will be revealed — it slides out or appears behind the desk area.

The game will guide you toward the desk, but many players miss the drawer interaction. Make sure you interact with the drawer specifically, not just the desk surface. Once you press the hidden button, the safe is visible and ready to be unlocked.

How to Find the Safe Code in Webb’s Office

The safe does not have an obvious code. Instead, you need to read a hint left by Isola and then examine four specific objects in the Penthouse.

Step 1 — Read Isola’s Note

Open your Objectives menu and select Hints (press Square on PlayStation or X on Xbox). Scroll to find Isola’s Note. It reads:

“Diploma. Painting. Game. Model.”

This tells you four objects to examine and the exact order to read them. Each object has a single digit hidden in its description. Put those digits in this order and you have the safe code.

Step 2 — Examine the Four Objects

All four items are located in the Penthouse. Here is each one and the number it gives you:

• College Diploma — A framed Mathematics degree from King’s College, London. Sir Nicolas graduated first in class. The number is 1.
• Basilisk Painting — A painting featuring an image of a brain. The number hidden in the description is 4.
• Hyperion Video Game — A video game on display in the office. Examine it to find the number 9.
• Scale Model — A scale model of Webb Industries’ Hong Kong office, labelled “Site III.” The number is 3.

Step 3 — The Safe Code

Follow Isola’s note order — Diploma, Painting, Game, Model — and you get: 1 – 4 – 9 – 3.

The Webb’s Office safe code is 1493.

Head back to the safe and enter this code to open it. You will retrieve the information inside for Isola and continue the mission.

How to Complete the Crackerjack Challenge

The Crackerjack challenge is simple. You just need to enter the correct safe code — 1493 — on your very first attempt. No wrong guesses. Get it right the first time and the challenge is done.

So if you are going for Crackerjack, do not experiment with the code. Look up the answer (you have it right here), walk to the safe, and enter 1493 on your first try.

Bonus: How to Get the Epic Fail Challenge Too

There is a second challenge tied to this same safe. If you enter the wrong code 7 times, you will unlock the Epic Fail challenge. This is a fun secret that rewards players who intentionally fail.

Here is the smart way to get both challenges:

1. Walk up to the safe.
2. Enter any wrong code 7 times in a row. This unlocks the Epic Fail challenge.
3. Restart the checkpoint from the menu.
4. Walk back to the safe and enter 1493 on the first try. This unlocks Crackerjack.

This way, you pick up both challenges in one playthrough without having to replay the whole mission twice. You can also use the 007 First Light mission replay feature if you already moved past this section.

Where This Fits in the Knightfall Mission

Knightfall is one of the bigger missions in the game with a large number of challenges to complete. The Webb’s Office safe puzzle is part of the main story flow, so you will hit it naturally. After you open the safe, the mission continues toward The Perch.

If you are trying to 100% the Knightfall mission, the full Knightfall challenges guide lists every task and how to complete them efficiently.
