One of the first locked places you’ll encounter in Hell Is Us is the Observation Outpost 08, which is located just on the outskirts of Jova. You might’ve seen this locked gate as you fought some enemies and explored the second area of the game, and might’ve wanted to scour the whole zone for clues about how to open it. Well, before doing anything, you should know that accessing this area is locked behind the main quest, and you should save it for later. But if you really want to get inside, here’s a quick guide on how to get the code.
How To Get the Observation Outpost 08 Code in Hell Is Us
To get the code that opens the Observation Outpost 08 in Hell Is Us, you must complete the main questline at Vyssa Hills and have Tania join the APC. Once that’s done, all you need to do is look below the passenger seat inside the APC to obtain the APC Code Sheet.

This piece of paper contains many codes, but there is no indication of where to use them or what they do. However, Hell Is Us is all about experimentation, and that’s exactly what you’ll do.
Once you get this code, you can return to Jova at any moment and head toward the Observation Outpost 08. If you haven’t found it, it is located outside of the village on the road that leads to the ON Outpost. It is a swamp-like area.

Once you approach the gate, head to the keypad. Now, you could do it old school and go through every code, but to make it easy for you, the actual code is: 151991.

Input the code, and the gate will open. If you do this without progressing through the main story, the enemies will be pretty challenging, even on the easiest difficulty. It is better to save this spot after you’ve unlocked weapon upgrades and a few Drone modules.
In any case, once you step inside, interact with the bodies and terminals to complete the Mystery. Some of the loot inside this place includes the following:
- Module – Shockwave Elite (Drone Module)
- Lymbic Rod – Neutral, W
- High-Tech Case (Research Item)
- Vault of Forbidden Knowledge (Jova)
The most important thing here is the location of the Vault of Forbidden Knowledge, which you’ll eventually get the code for after turning in enough Research Items. However, the Lymbic Rod and Module are helpful as well. So, if you have some spare time or some unfinished quests in Jova, remember to return there to open this outpost.
