Outer Worlds 2: Free Market Station lever puzzle solution

When you first arrive on Free Market Station, just after leaving Eden in The Outer Worlds 2, your attention will no doubt be drawn to the conspicuous crawl-space in the wall as you walk down the main promenade. Sneak through there, climb the ladder, and you’ll be faced with a big wall of switches that presumably connect to the nearby locked door, which promises to have all kinds of cool loot inside.

We’ll explain how this puzzle works and what order you need to flip the levers in so you can access the rewards.

Lever puzzle solution – Outer Worlds 2

The secret behind this puzzle is that you actually need the N-Ray vision gadget, which you can only get by furthering the main story. Head to Dorado and investigate the N-Ray facility and you’ll get the gadget there. However, if you know the solution, you can solve this puzzle without it.

With the N-Ray gadget, you’ll be able to see that three sources of power are coming in from the right, and you need to get them over to the three panels by the door. However, if you cause the power to flow into the same switch from multiple sources, it will trip the system and reset the puzzle.

Here’s the solution. Starting with the top power line:

• Flip the top-rightmost switch
• Flip the switch immediately to that one’s left
• Flip the switch diagonally down and left from that one
• Flip the bottom-leftmost switch

Now the middle power line:

• Flip the middle-right switch
• Flip the switch immediately to that one’s left
• Flip the switch diagonally up and left from that one

For the bottom line, you just have to flip the four remaining switches from right to left, but to make sure you’ve done it right, the steps are:

• Flip the bottom-rightmost switch
• Flip the two switches immediately to that one’s left
• Flip the middle-left switch

With that, the door will open, and you can grab the weapon and the contents of the safe inside. Plus, there is a pad there that will give you information for another side quest you can pick up on Free Market Station.
