BO6 Zombies: All S.A.M. File Locations & Puzzle Solution

Where to Find All S.A.M. Files

In each game, there are a total of four S.A.M. Files that you need to find. While there are only four to find, they can spawn in any of the following seven locations. Be sure to check each spot until you have all four!
  • T2 Teleportation Lab: Look on the central terminal within the lab itself.
  • T1 Executive Suite (Location 1): Find a wooden table with three chairs around it; the file might be here.
  • T1 Executive Suite (Location 2): Check a coffee table in the west corner of the room, near a toppled-over lamp and chair.
  • T1 Executive Suite (Location 3): On the reception desk upstairs.
  • T1 Director's Office (Location 1): On the left side of Richtofen's large desk.
  • T1 Director's Office (Location 2): On a shelf located on the south wall, right underneath the TV monitor.
  • T1 Director's Office (Location 3): On a white table next to the blueprints of S.A.M. on the southwest wall.

How to Solve the S.A.M. Files Puzzle

Once you've found all four files, the next step is to put them in the correct order to get your password.

Step 1: Find the Password Number and Date for Each File

Each S.A.M. File has two crucial pieces of information you need to write down:

  • The Artifact Number: This is the number on the first line next to the artifact's name (e.g., "1. Notso's Collar").
  • The Archived Date: This is the date on the second line (e.g., "Archived: 7/15/1985").
  • Step 2: Order the Files Chronologically

    The key to the puzzle is to arrange your four files from the earliest archived date to the latest. For example, if you found files with the following dates, you would order them like this:

    • 6/28/1985
    • 7/15/1985
    • 10/12/1985
    • 12/8/1985

    Step 3: Create the 4-Digit Password

    Once your files are in chronological order, simply take the Artifact Numberfrom each file in that sequence to form your 4-digit password. Using the example above, the password would be 6152.

    Here is a full list of every possible S.A.M. File to help you solve thepuzzle quickly, as the files you find in your game may be different.

    ArtifactPassword NumberDate
    BND Badge66/28/1985

    Wristwatch49/2/1985
    Combat Goggles510/12/1985
    Katana212/8/1985

    Once you have your 4-digit code, head back to the computer terminal in theT2 Teleportation Lab, enter the password, and continue your quest!
