The Subnautica Aurora Cabin 1 code is 1869. It opens the first locked cabin in the Aurora Living Quarters. Reaching that keypad is the part that matters: bring the proper tools, pick up the PDA clue if you want to discover the number in-game, and do not confuse this door with the Captain’s Quarters beside it.
Key points
- Cabin 1 uses code 1869.
- Sweet Offer is the PDA clue for the code.
- Cabin 1 is in the Aurora Living Quarters.
- Captain’s Quarters use a separate code.
Quick answer
Type 1869 into the door labelled Cabin 1 in the Aurora Living Quarters. The in-game clue comes from the Sweet Offer PDA in the Locker Room. The nearby Captain’s Quarters use a different code, so 1869 is not a universal Aurora passcode.
Key takeaways
- Cabin 1 always uses 1869.
- It is in the Living Quarters, beyond the Prawn Suit Bay.
- The Sweet Offer PDA records the clue in your PDA downloads.
- Pack a Laser Cutter, Fire Extinguisher and spare inventory slots.
- Captain’s Quarters use 2679, not 1869.
Code table
| Door | Code | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin 1 | 1869 | Living Quarters cabin; clue from Sweet Offer. |

How to redeem the Cabin 1 code
- Wear a Radiation Suit if the Aurora approach is still irradiated in your save.
- Bring a Laser Cutter and a Fire Extinguisher. Pack a Scanner, food, water and at least one spare battery.
- Enter the Aurora and work through the Locker Room toward the Prawn Suit Bay.
- Pick up open PDAs and check your downloaded entries for Sweet Offer if you want the in-world clue.
- Follow the signs into the Living Quarters and locate the Cabin 1 keypad.
- Enter 1869, confirm it, and search the room before moving on.
Leave four to six empty inventory spaces before departing. A full inventory turns a useful Aurora sweep into a wasted second trip, especially if you are scanning fragments and opening supply crates on the same run.
Where Cabin 1 is and what to bring
Cabin 1 sits in the Living Quarters after the Prawn Suit Bay. It is optional rather than a story-ending gate, so treat it as one stop during a thorough Aurora route. Scan useful objects, check crates and collect PDA entries while you are already inside.
- Required for a complete sweep: Laser Cutter and Fire Extinguisher.
- Recommended: Scanner, charged light, food, water and a spare battery.
- Situational: Propulsion Cannon, depending on your route and progress.
- Before leaving: unload common minerals into storage.
Common mistakes
Using 2679 at Cabin 1. That number belongs to Captain’s Quarters. Read the door label before typing anything.
Going in without the Laser Cutter. You can enter parts of the wreck but still stop at sealed access points. Bring it on the first serious visit.
Waiting for a radio call. Captain’s Quarters are tied to radio progress; Cabin 1 is not. Find Sweet Offer or use 1869.
Arriving overloaded. Empty storage space lets you keep discoveries rather than discard materials in the wreck.
