Equipment / Crimson Bear Motel

Follow the shotgun trail.

Find the guest-room contact, locate the gift-shop locker, and recognize the W-500 pickup prompt.

PC demo · illustrated video reference

Short answer

The demo footage shows the W-500 shotgun in a combination-locked cabinet in the motel gift shop. Player reports connect its combination to a motel guest contacted by payphone. Use the guest-room clue for the call, then use the locker combination at the cabinet: they are different numbers.

Before you start

PC demo; exact recording builds and earliest unlock requirements are unknown. The screenshots below are from two creators’ recordings, not our own playtest. Keep the room clue and combination from your own game.

1. Use the guest-room phone entry

At the payphone, read the Crimson Bear Guests contact in the address book. The recording shows a room-number suffix on this entry and a separate Mr Jackman save contact. A player who missed the weapon reported looking for a phone inside the motel instead of using the payphone.

Picture guide

Read the contact on the right

Use the guest-room entry with the room clue you found in your game.

Read the Crimson Bear Guests line in the address book on the right. The save contact above it serves a different purpose.

Look for this
The lower handwritten contact is Crimson Bear Guests; the upper contact is marked Save.
Before moving on
Reach the relevant guest and follow the dialogue until you have the locker clue.
If it does not match
If you reach the save interaction, you have used a different contact. Recheck the label and room clue.

The weapon-focused recording also shows the caller offering the code in exchange for a favor around 18:06, followed by an invitation for a drink around 18:16. Read through the conversation; the phone-book screenshot alone does not establish that the combination has been obtained.

2. Find the tall locker in the gift shop

In the checked weapon episode, the player enters the gift shop and approaches the tall cabinet at its right-hand end, beside a chair. Animal displays help distinguish this room from the phone and storage area.

Picture guide

Identify the cabinet, not the storage chest

Find the tall metal gun cabinet at the end of the gift shop.

The tall locker is beside the chair at the right-hand end of the shop. This frame shows it after unlocking, so use it to recognize the location.

Look for this
The chair immediately beside the cabinet and the animal displays across the room.
Before moving on
Interacting with the locked cabinet opens a four-wheel combination interface.
If it does not match
A storage chest beside a payphone is a different object. Return to the gift shop and compare the cabinet’s surroundings.

3. Enter the locker combination

Turn the four number wheels to the combination supplied by your clue. Do not enter the phone number here. The screenshot is from the middle of the player’s input and should not be copied as a solution.

Picture guide

Use the four-wheel lock

Match all four wheels to your locker clue.

Look for this
Four number columns, each with its own active digit.
Before moving on
The cabinet door opens and its contents become available.
If it does not match
If it remains locked, compare the selected digits with the actual clue. We have not established a code that works in every build.

4. Take the W-500 shotgun

After the locker opens, interact with the weapon and select Take on the W-500 SHOTGUN prompt. Check your inventory afterward. Opening the cabinet or collecting buckshot is not the same as taking the gun.

Picture guide

Confirm the weapon pickup

Select Take on the W-500 SHOTGUN prompt.

Look for this
The weapon name and the Take / Cancel choices in the center of the screen.
Before moving on
The shotgun appears in your inventory after confirming the pickup.
If it does not match
If you canceled, interact with the weapon again. If the game reports an inventory restriction, address the displayed restriction before trying again.

Watch the locker and pickup sequence

Start near 20:10. Lock input is visible at 20:23, the open cabinet at 20:33, and the pickup prompt at 20:38. These moments were visually checked.

After you have the weapon

The developer’s June 12 Demo Patch 2 notes added shotgun destruction of wooden barricades. That does not establish that metal fences or every locked object can be opened with it.

Can I copy the numbers in the lock screenshot?

No. That frame shows the player partway through entering the combination. Use the clue from your own game.

Does this cover the full game?

No. These are PC demo recordings. Retail locations, prerequisites and balance need separate checking.
