Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has 9 Safe Locations in the campaign. Each safe contains $1000, so you get $9000 total which is useful to buy upgrades in the safehouse. To buy all upgrades you will need $14,650 total. The remaining money is picked up throughout levels as loot, or dropped by the strong enemies with extended health bars. Opening all safes is optional because you can farm money infinitely by replaying missions, but it does speed up the process considerably. Having the upgrades early makes the game easier. Finding all safes also completes the Safecracker challenge.
Whenever a safe is nearby you will see a “Signal” icon at the top of the screen. It looks like an antenna. You must then find the radio and align the frequency by using the left & right stick. Then the radio plays an audio message with the safe code, this code is randomized and will be different for every player. Then use the code to open the safe, it will always be within a few meters of the radio, in the same room.
This is what the Signal icon looks like:
Every mission from Mission 2 to 9 has a safe. There’s also a safe inside the Safehouse, which requires solving All Safehouse Puzzles. Mission 1 and anything after Mission 9 doesn’t have any safes.
All safes can still be gotten through Mission Select. After reaching the next checkpoint it saves your money immediately and you can quit out to the main menu. Safes are one-use only and don’t respawn once opened. All other money (from loot and enemies) will respawn on every mission replay.
