How to get & use the Medical Armory code in System Shock

You'll need to find the Medical Armory code in System Shock to retrieve the KE-41 Capacity mod and gain access to more ammo.

Keypad codes in System Shock may change depending on the difficulty settings you're playing on, so we've compiled a guide on where to retrieve the Medical Amory code, where to use it and what the code was for us on our playthrough of the game.

The Medical Armory code is hidden within an audio log. To get the audio log you'll need to follow these steps:

• Travel from the Central Hub to the Gamma Quadrant, and turn right at the vending machines into a corridor.
• Take the first left in the corridor (this is marked with the medical logo).
• Take the first door on the left, defeat the enemy, and get the access keycard from the briefcase on the table.
• Leave the room and unlock the next left-side door with the new keycard.
• Follow the corridor and enter the room marked as 'Beta'.
• Solve the Junction Box puzzle to activate the bridge across the room. (We have a guide on how to solve the wire puzzles here if you need assistance).
• Cross the bridge, move forwards and turn right, then go up the stairs.

• Stop at the top of the stairs and make a sharp left turn.
• Here, there is another corridor. Walk through it to the end and press the red button on the pedestal to summon the next bridge, located directly opposite the original one.
• Go down and return to the red bridges.
• From the new bridge, turn right and follow the corridor around. On the console is an audio log from Althea Grossman, containing the code for the Medical Armory.

Now you have the code, travel to the Medical Armory. This is located from the Medical Floor Central Hub. From there, travel through to the Gamma Quadrant door to the left. Then walk to the end of the room, turn right at the vending machines into a little corridor.

From the corridor, you'll see a room with a keypad and a yellow grenade sign. This is the Medical Armory location.

You can also get to this location by retracting your steps back from the audio log containing the code if you follow the above steps.
