[[ | #F4 is a unique instance in which there's conflicting information on what the word should be. In reserve2, near the bird lookout spot, there is writing on the info-board about Hammer Valley birds which claims "F4 3 words", yet the [[Bunker computer code|bunker computer code]] requires it to be "answer". But as the note on the info-board is localized for different game languages, it seems likely that the information is ''about'' the answer. {{Needs-investigation}} The [[Reactor lights code]] might be the answer, as its decoded message reads "world is lie", which matches the meta information. | ||
#Although the bunker computer code requires <code>H4.5=E</code>, it is worth mentioning that <code>0x45</code> is the ASCII code for <code>E</code>. | |||
#The bunker computer code requires <code>A3.2=C</code>. | |||
#The second reference table of the bunker computer code contains the line <code>Body Message Question Show Truth</code>, which supports F1=SHOW. {{Needs-investigation}} This poses the question what the correct question is. | |||

Another possibility was the book with the bunker codes, however some codes are completely illegible and decoding with several bases does not result in anything of note.<br/> | Another possibility was the book with the bunker codes (<code>binder_002_skin6</code>), however some codes are completely illegible and decoding with several bases does not result in anything of note.<br /> | ||
Reading only the letters on breaker 2 reveals word "OCEAN". The breaker is assigned with number 2 so HWNUM+1 could be 3. | Reading only the letters on breaker 2 reveals word "OCEAN". The breaker is assigned with number 2 so HWNUM+1 could be 3. | ||
