Puzzle Location
To find the switches puzzle in Free Market Station, begin right at the station’s main entrance. Look toward the left side, where you’ll notice a small opening low to the ground. Crouch down and crawl through this narrow passage.

On the other side, you’ll come across a ladder. Climb it to access the upper platform. At the top, you’ll discover an area lined with several mechanical switches. These switches must be activated in a correct sequence to unlock the hidden door and reveal what Otto has been keeping behind it.

Free Market Station Switches Puzzle Solution
To solve the Free Market Station switch puzzle, you’re meant to use the N-Ray gadget, found at the N-Ray Range in northwest Golden Ridge during the main story. This device lets you see hidden power lines through walls, which connect the switches to the door.

In order to solve the puzzle, the player needs to create three non-overlapping power paths from the switches on the right to the door on the left by flipping them in the correct order. Follow the switch order shown in the guide to unlock Otto’s secret room instantly.

Once the door unlocks, head inside Otto’s secret room to collect your rewards. You’ll find an Advanced Decryption Key, 440 bits, a Triple Barrel Shotgun, and a text log.
