The Outer Worlds 2 On the Trail of the Traitor switch puzzle solution

How do you solve the 'On the Trail of the Traitor' switch puzzle in The Outer Worlds 2? Most of the quests in The Outer Worlds 2 are largely straightforward, but there's one section in the 'On the Trail of the Traitor' quest that could leave you scratching your head. Once you get your hands on the N-Ray Scanner, you can use it to scan the walls to see wires, traps, and enemies, allowing you to get past this tricky puzzle.

The N-Ray Scanner is also used to complete the Otto puzzle in The Outer Worlds 2, so you'll want to check out our The Outer Worlds 2 guide to save yourself the hassle of staring at wires in walls.

As soon as you pick up the N-Ray Scanner, you'll find a wall filled with electrical switches that need to be triggered to open a door. There are wires that need to be routed in the correct order, forcing you to pick the correct set of switches.

Don't worry about getting the answers wrong; there's no limit on how many times you can attempt the puzzle, though you won't need to try it multiple times now that you know the answer. Likewise, you don't need to trigger the switches in a specific order.

Here's the 'On the Trail of the Traitor' puzzle solution:

• On the top row, trigger the second switch.
• On the bottom row, trigger the first and fourth switches.

Unlocking the door will let you proceed with the quest, taking you to an area filled with dangerous enemies, so make sure you're healed up as you're going to be facing a barrage of attacks.
