Early on in Alan Wake 2, you’ll return to Caldron Lake in pursuit of the monster Nightingale, spurred on by what you’ve learned from Alan Wake’s manuscript pages. While exploring this rather spooky area, you’ll need to visit the General Store in order to acquire Nightingale’s heart, which will unlock access to the Overlap beneath the Witch’s Ladle and lead you into the Nightingale boss fight.
After entering the General Store and heading toward the back room, you’ll face your first Taken — a shadow-infused cultist interested only in your demise. After defeating this frightening foe, you’ll head into the back room, where Nightingale’s heart is said to be located, but while you’re there, you’ll spot a nice looking Sawed-off Shotgun locked away behind a display case. Here’s how you can get that case open and gain access to a powerful arsenal in your fight against the encroaching darkness.

How To Unlock The Gun Case
When you first look at the display case containing the Sawed-off Shotgun, you’ll notice a sticky note attacked to the corner. It reads: “Check with Lady Fortuna at the counter.” You might think this is referring to an employee, but this note actually refers to Lady Luck! Return to the front of the store and search along the counter for the cash register. By the cash register, you’ll find a note pad with scratched out numbers: 705, 713, 717, and 723. You’ll also find a lottery ticket beside this note pad.
Reading the Lotto Washington ticket, it will display a sequence of numbers:
Between the scratched out numbers on the note pad and the lottery number sequence, you’ve got all the information you need.
Since every crossed out 3-number sequence begins with 7, you just need to figure out the pattern for the remaining two numbers. It’s simply running left to right off the lotto number.
705, 713, 717, and 723 are crossed out. The next number in the sequence is 39.
The gun case combo is 739.
Input this sequence in the combo lock on the display case in the back room, and you’ll gain access to the Sawed-off Shotgun. You’ll be glad that you did, as this weapon is a critical tool in your upcoming fight against Nightingale.
