Deathloop has finally been released, letting us get in on taking down targets and blasting our way through foes in a supernatural time loop setting. As Colt, you take on all different sorts of challenges from the most complex to the most practical (AKA the ones that can be solved with a bullet). As you’re traversing through Fristad Rock, the more adventurous of you may come across a room with a certain “Man Behind the Glass” sitting…behind some glass. The important part is that, after reuniting with our good friend Colt, he sets off the gas and shuts the door, preventing you from escaping. This may seem dire, and you may be quick to assume you’re screwed, but in fact, there’s a solution here. If you’re having trouble, here’s how you can complete the gas room puzzle and escape in Deathloop!

How to Complete the Gas Room Puzzle in Deathloop

To complete the gas room puzzle in Deathloop, you must first head up the stairs to your left and hack into the box on your left side. This can be done by pulling out your Hackimajig and hacking the antenna adjacent to it. This will open the box, revealing a book (which you can read and ignore) and a button. Pressing this button currently does nothing, but it will be useful later. If you continue up the stairs, you’ll notice two three-digit numbers on a whiteboard (different on every playthrough). These are your first clue.

Remember these two numbers, then head down the stairs. At this point, you may have to shoot the gas and ignite it so you can walk freely. Once down, head underneath the stairs where you’ll see a set of levers. You need to hit the two correctly numbered levers to be done this step. Remember those three-digit numbers from earlier? You’ll want to pull the levers corresponding to these numbers. Once done, head back up the stairs and press the button in the box to stop the gas. After the Man Behind the Glass has his monologue where he believes you cheated, you’re free to leave and head back to doing…whatever it is you’re doing.

Deathloop is available on PC and PS5.
