Modern Warfare 4 'Following Orders' Lockbox Code Guide

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, players undertaking the 'Following Orders' mission will encounter a locked container within a side bedroom of the first family's home. Opening this lockbox can simplify the interrogation process by providing key information.

The code for the lockbox is derived from a note found in the pantry. Titled the "baekseolgi-tteok recipe," this note lists ingredients and their quantities. The relevant quantities, excluding the explicitly mentioned salt, form the three-digit code.

The recipe with the lockbox code in the "Following Orders" mission in Modern Warfare 4.

The recipe calls for:

  • 2kg rice flour
  • 5mL salt
  • 1L water
  • 4 packs of golden raisins

However, the note instructs to disregard the salt. Using the numerical values for rice flour, water, and golden raisins yields the lockbox code: 214.

Inside the lockbox, players will discover medicine that is considered contraband in North Korea. Presenting this medicine to the husband during the interrogation can lead him to reveal the defector's escape route. He will beg to keep the medicine for his survival, which prompts him to disclose that the defector fled to the abandoned house next door, allowing the player to progress in the mission.
