Spy Hideout Location Guide

By Brendan Graeber, Hannah Hoolihan, Peer Schneider
Updated: Sep 23, 2021 10:24pm UTC

Deathloop takes place on an island full of secrets and mysteries - and one of the biggest of all includes a secret spy ring keeping tabs on AEON Program leading up to The First Day. This page contains information on how to find, infiltrate, and uncover secrets left behind by the spies - and how to find the three different spy hideout locations.

How to Find the Fristad Rock Spy HQ

Each of the three different spy hideouts feature a locked door with a doorbell that's next to impossible to get through unless you know the secret code - or you get lucky. Fortunately, one of these locations as an alternate entrance.

If you travel to Fristad Rock either in the Morning or in the Afternoon when the water levels are lower, search along the waterline just to the left of the main tunnel entrance you start at in Fristad Rock. You can find a hidden bunker door behind some wooden planks you can kick apart, but further below this ridge is a secret tunnel leading you to the Storm Shelter, aka the Spy HQ.

Inside you will find several different pieces of intel, including info on both Fia and Frank, a Sleek or Exemplar Trinket, and a mysterious audio log of a dying spy. They mention that they've hidden the coordinates for the other spy hideouts in a mysterious radio broadcast in the morning. There's also a large concrete wall at the back with three codes that include a letter and two numbers - and one code is here in the Spy HQ, but the others are missing.

How to Locate the Spy Hideouts

Armed with the knowledge that there's a secret radio broadcast in the morning, you'll need to find a way to listen to the radio. The good news this can be done in any district in the morning - you just have to know where to look.

Not only can you use the Hackamajig to cause disruptions at the circular telephone booths, but you can also find large square portable radio systems around the island that you can cause disruptions with using the Hackamajig - there's one in the small alley below the window to Colt's flat, for instance.

If you use your Hackamajig on one of these radio systems, it will start playing an odd tune and a series of beeps - but if you listen closely (or turn on subtitles), you'll hear a women's voice list out a series of letters and numbers:

  • M13 - (Number)
  • H26 - (Number)
  • R33 - (Number)

Each of the first letters and numbers reference the different district maps of Blackreef that you can find, and the quadrants therein. By referencing them, you can pinpoint the general area each hideout is located:

  • R33 - Fristad Rock (Spy HQ near tunnel entrance)
  • M13 - Karl's Bay (Next to Treasure of the Ice! cooking area)
  • H26 - Updaam (Next to Otto's Fireworks Shop

The number that is listed after the coordinates for each location is the number of times you will need to ring the doorbell at each location. These numbers are randomized for everyone's playthrough, so you will have to listen to the radio broadcast to know what your numbers are!

How to Locate the Updaam Spy Hideout

Once you have listened to the radio broadcast to hear the full coordinates and numbers, travel north of Colt's flat to the row of building where Otto's Firework Shop is, and look for a blue door to the left.

Take the stairs up to the second floor to find a single locked door with a buzzer, and ring the bell consecutively for the amount of times stated in the radio broadcast (don't pause too long between rings). This will open the door and allow you entry into the Derelict Apartment.

Inside the Derelict Apartment, you can find an interesting obituary note on the left as you enter, and an Exemplar Vopat Trencher shotgun on the far table, and behind a partition is a secret room with intel on Charlie and Frank - as well as a note with the second code for the Spy HQ secret door.

How to Locate the Karl's Bay Spy Hideout

After listening to the radio broadcast and confirming the number following the quadrant (M13), travel to Karl's Bay at any time of day, and move down to the lower street moving all the way down towards the hangars before the road swings left, past the red Aeon Coital Center building and the Treasure of the Ice! area.

At the end of this street, there is a large boathouse on the right with scaffolding all around, opposite a small blue storefront. Ring the bell next to the big boathouse door consecutively for the amount of times stated in the radio broadcast (don't pause too long between rings). This will open the door to the Dusty Storeroom.

Inside the Dusty Storeroom, look to the left as you enter to find an Exemplar PT-Spiker, and then head up the stairs to find intel notes on Harriet, a log revealing how the spies were betrayed, and another note under a mattress with the final code to the Spy HQ Door.

Accessing the Intelligence Archives

Once you have located all three codes in each of the Spy Hideouts, return to the Spy HQ in Fristad Rock, and move to the back wall with the Aeon Coital Center poster, and insert each code (the codes should float around the locks so you don't have to consult your discoveries).

Unlocking this door will reveal a small room with even more intel on many targets - including Egor, Harriet's hangar code, Frank's security code, Fia's reactor codes, Colt himself, and even the access code for Gideon Fry's Delivery Service. In a nearby safe, you can find not one, but two Exemplar Tribunal Pistols that automatically tag targets and deal more damage to them.

There's also a hidden easter egg here, in one of the archives sections has a note about a mysterious broadcast, and a tape recorder below can be listened to for an eerie song reminiscent of another Arkane game!
