Cheats & Secrets

Overview



Deathloop does not feature traditional cheat codes, console commands, unlock codes, or developer debug menus. The game is designed as a tight, loop-based experience with no built-in cheats. However, it is rich with hidden content, Easter eggs, developer-intended secrets, and unlockable bonuses that reward exploration and clever play. This guide covers all known secrets, including hidden weapons, Easter eggs referencing other Arkane games, alternative endings, and secret areas.

Hidden Weapons & Equipment



The Fizzy Pop Gun (Secret SMG)


  • Location: The secret armory in The Complex at The Complex – Morning time period.

  • How to unlock: While exploring The Complex, find the locked door with a keypad near the entrance. The code is 7329 (found on a note in the same area near a corpse). Inside the armory, you will find the Fizzy Pop, a unique submachine gun that fires rapid-fire blue projectiles. It is one of the most powerful automatic weapons in the game.

  • Note: You must have Hackamajig or the Turret Hack slab to disable the turrets inside the armory, or be very fast.


    • The Fourpounder (Unique Pistol)


  • Location: Hidden inside a safe in Updaam at Noon during the mission "The Rendezvous."

  • How to obtain: Inside the beer hall (where Aleksis Dorsey holds his party), there is a locked safe behind the bar. The safe code is 7734 (found on a note in the same building). The Fourpounder is a silenced pistol with excellent accuracy.

  • Tip: You can also find this pistol by killing the Visionary Harriet and looting her body, but the safe version is a guaranteed drop.


    • The Vopat Trencher (Unique Shotgun)


  • Location: Hidden in Karl's Bay at Morning in a locked room near the hangar.

  • How to obtain: Need the Hackamajig or Codebreaker slab to open the security door. Inside, a chest contains the Vopat Trencher, a devastating pump-action shotgun with a wide spread.

    Easter Eggs & References



    Dishonored Reference – The Outsider's Mark


  • Location: On a wall in The Complex – Morning, near the entrance to the reactor core.

  • What it is: A faint drawing of the Outsider's Mark from Dishonored. This is a direct nod to Arkane's previous franchise.

  • Interaction: Simply observe it.


    • The "I'm Not Going to Kill You" Scene


  • How to trigger: During the final confrontation with Julianna, if you choose not to shoot her after defeating her in combat, she will perform a scripted reaction. After a brief standoff, she will say something and then leave. This does not change the ending but is a hidden character moment.

  • Note: This is a developer-intended Easter egg to show character depth.


    • The Secret Ending (Golden Loop Ending)


  • How to achieve: Complete the main story by killing all eight Visionaries in one loop and then escaping via the tunnel. After the credits, if you have all four of Julianna's personal notes (hidden in various levels), a secret post-credits scene plays where Julianna questions the loop.

  • Note: The notes are found in:

    • 1. Karl's Bay – Morning – on a desk in the hangar.
    2. The Complex – Noon – in the control room.
    3. Fristad Rock – Afternoon – in the bunker.
    4. Updaam – Evening – in the party mansion.

    The Meme Wall


  • Location: In Updaam – Evening, inside the beer hall, look above the bar. There is a wall covered in graffiti cannily referencing internet memes and other Arkane games, including a Prey 2017 reference (the Mooncrash poster).

    Secret Areas & Hidden Locations



    The Bunker in The Complex (Underground Lab)


  • How to access: During the Morning phase, go to The Complex and look for a locked door with a keypad near the main entrance. Code is 0314 (found on a note inside the complex). This leads to a small lab with a unique weapon and lore notes.

  • Contents: Contains the Fizzy Pop (as above) and a note revealing the origin of the loop.


    • The Abandoned Bunker in Fristad Rock


  • Location: Fristad Rock – Afternoon, near the beach. There's a hatch in the ground that can be opened with Hackamajig or by solving a nearby puzzle.

  • What's inside: A secret room with a Hackamajig upgrade (increases range) and a note referencing the Dishonored universe (mention of "The Void").


    • The Party Mansion Rooftop


  • Location: Updaam – Evening. After entering the mansion, go to the second floor and find a balcony. Jump across to a ledge on the adjacent building to reach a rooftop hideout with a unique trinket.

  • Trinket: Contains the "Never Say Die" trinket that revives you once per loop (if you have the Reach slab).

    Unlockable Content & Post-Game Secrets



    New Game+ Mode (Masquerade)


  • How to unlock: Complete the main story once. This unlocks a new mode called "Masquerade" (also known as New Game+), which allows you to keep all your slabs, weapons, and trinkets from the previous save.

  • Note: This is not a cheat but an official secret feature – it is not explicitly advertised in the menu.


    • Unlockable Character Skins


  • Gold Colt: Complete the main story and then finish a loop where you kill all eight Visionaries again with no deaths. A new skin appears in the menu.

  • Red Julianna: Collect all 45 audio logs (also called "Poppable" notes) and then defeat Julianna in combat on your next meeting. A red variant for Julianna's outfit is unlocked.

  • Trench Coat Colt: Found by completing all side missions and then checking the wardrobe in the bunker.


    • The Secret Trophy/Achievement – "Déjà Vu"


  • How to get: Visit the same location in three different time periods without dying. This triggers a hidden dialogue and grants the achievement.

  • Example: Go to The Complex at Morning, then Noon, then Afternoon in subsequent loops (not in the same loop) – must be from the same save file.

    Developer-Intended Exploits & Safe Glitches



    No game-breaking exploits are officially recognized, but some intended behavior can be exploited:

  • Weapon Duplication Glitch: Equip a weapon with a trinket, then unequip it while inside the Residue Residuum menu. The weapon may duplicate in some rare cases. This works only on PC and is not guaranteed.

  • Loop Reset Abuse: If you die after killing a Visionary but before leaving the area, the game may spawn a duplicate of their slab in the next loop. This is a known, unintended bug, not a recognized secret.
