The first BioShock drops players into the nightmarish but beautiful city of Rapture. You’ll need to make your way through all kinds of horrid enemies, and you’ll quickly find that Rapture isn’t exactly a welcoming place. It’s a labyrinthian affair, with winding corridors and plenty of locked doors with valuable resources behind them.

You’ll need codes to get into some of those doors, which you’ll need to find hidden around the world. Or you could just check out this guide on BioShock door codes and save yourself a lot of time and hassle. Now, would you kindly check out the codes below?
