Get close and listen, and you’ll hear an Eternalist inside the cannon explaining that he’s found a trinket that will protect him from getting hurt just as his friends ignite the cannon and launch him into oblivion. If you come back in the afternoon you’ll discover a pair of Eternalists hovering over the cannon. Return at noon, and you’ll see the cannon is now partially assembled. If you visit Updaam in the morning, you’ll find a piece of a cannon staged next to the library. One of the simplest examples does a great job of demonstrating how Deathloop hides its secrets. However, once you venture off the beaten path and start turning over stones around Blackreef, you’ll quickly discover just how deep and complex Deathloop’s secrets can be. Arkane knows that players are plenty familiar with safecracking at this point, so all of the traditional locked door puzzles are just part of the main campaign. There are still plenty of safes with combinations hastily written on nearby scraps of paper, but Deathloop puts all of those “basic” secrets directly along the critical path. Its time loop structure, and perhaps more importantly, the way it handles the passage of time, opens it up to all kinds of new ways to hide codes and doors. Thankfully Deathloop has a fresh approach to these puzzles. Finding locker combos just doesn’t have the same magic that it used to, no matter how cleverly the digits are hidden. What was conceived of as an immersive way to present locks and keys is now a derivative trope, becoming more and more conventional with each new iteration. Don’t get me wrong, I love snooping through work emails as much as the next guy, but there’s only so many ways you can hide a four-digit code before it starts to feel like pandering.
