The Last of Us 2 gate codes: All the gate codes in Seattle explained

Also, pre-existing fans may be tempted to revisit Seattle now that TLOU is back in vogue. But how exactly do you get into the darned place?

Keep on reading, or watch the video above, and we'll explain everything you need to know about The Last of Us 2 gate codes.

TLOU 2 gate codes - The full list for Seattle

Below are all the codes for the gates found across Seattle in The Last of Us Part 2, which Ellie and Dina need to get through on their way into the city - along with their trusted steed, Shimmer.

As Ellie, you will be clambering over walls to access gate controls, which is hard work enough - so why not make it simpler?

• North 0 – 1382
• Main Gate – 0451 (A reference to System Shock)
• East 2 – 5345
• West 1 – 6128
• West 2 – 0541 (The gate doesn’t work but it’s used as the code for the safe next to it)
• East 1 – Dina finds this code and this happens as part of the story

If you want some more info on how to open the gates for yourself, we've got you covered below with all the steps to find the codes on your own.

How to open the main Seattle gate in The Last of Us Part 2

The first gate has to be opened from the other side, so climb up this truck and onto the cabin.

From the cabin, jump across to the holding pens and then to the overhanging roof and climb up the ladder.

Once up, make your way across. Make sure not to lose your balance.

Once across, climb over the wall and walk along the gangway to the watchtower.

There is some extra loot at the top of the watchtower, so be sure to grab it and then head down.

Once down, use a bottle or a brick to smash the window of the portable cabin and climb through.

In a drawer by the door is a list with all the gate codes and information about where to find fuel, something we'll need later. But head outside and turn on the generator.

Next, take the cable through to the gate, plug it in and turn it on.

With the gate open, unplug the cable and double back to the generator and throw it over the fence towards the other portable cabin.

Head through the gate and pick up the cable, then plug it into the portable cabin power inlet and then head inside.

Enter the code from the list, 0512, into the gate control panel to open the gate so that Dina can get through.

How to open Gate East 2 in The Last of Us Part 2

Up next is Gate East 2, but the generator hooked up to it has no fuel. This means we have to venture into Downtown Seattle to find some.

On the back of the list with the codes, it says that there is fuel in either the Dome or in the parking garage of the Courthouse.

There are a lot of places to explore in Downtown Seattle with great loot to find, such as a shotgun, but if you simply want to proceed with the story, head to the Courthouse, which is located at the top left of the map.

To get into the Courthouse, you need to climb up a checkpoint located on the south-facing wall and in through a window.

Inside, there are infected to deal with.

After the infected are out of the way, squeeze through a set of doors pinned shut by a bookcase and head down the stairs to the ground level.

In this lobby, there is an open elevator shaft that you need to climb down. Hop across, grab the cable and shimmy down.

This leads us to the parking garage, which is home to some unwelcoming infected that need to be taken care of.

Once you have killed the infected, head to the fuel tank, which is to the right of the garage doors and siphon off some petrol.

Next, open the garage door with a chain that is found to the left of it.

With the fuel, return to Gate East 2 and enter the code: 5345.

How to open Gate East 1 in The Last of Us Part 2

Riding past the Serevena Hotel, you will come to Gate East 1 which you don't have a code for.

To find the code, we must venture forth into the hotel by climbing up the dumpster, hopping over the wall and making a beeline for the entrance.

Inside, predictably, there are infected in the way that require your attention.

After the infected are out of the way, head to a door that is on the right-hand side of the lobby and remove the pipe locking it.

Next, head up the stairs, make your way to the end of the hallway and enter through the closed door.

Once in the room, a cutscene will play where the gate code can be found written in blood on the floor.

After the cutscene, head out through the open window and hop down.

Head back to the gate and start the generator. Dina will take care of the code
