The Alan Wake 2 rifle riddle solution in the Wellness Center is tied to finding a doorknob, as the unknown thief has hidden the gun in a room with no handle. This email with the clues is in the security center, which players have to see in order to progress. Here’s how to find the doorknob in Alan Wake 2 in order to get the rifle.
How to get the rifle in Alan Wake 2
To get the rifle in Alan Wake 2 and find the doorknob, you first have to absorb the riddle that is on the Wellness Center computer. It reads:
“I’m a little doorknob that’s out of place. But solve these clues and you can trace the way to your private space. I meet you at the greet inside a bright glassy cage where pretty flowers bloom.”
This is a coy way to speak about the receptionist’s desk, which is just outside to the right of the security center in the ward reception. Go to the desk and start going toward the exit to the outside, but instead turn to the right and go through the wooden door.
This will lead to a room that leads to the receptionist’s desk and many, many binders. The doorknob is in a box on the floor near the computer. Pick it up and head back to the room near the security room, which is called the workshop.
Interact with the knobless door to insert the doorknob. Go inside and, along with a manuscript page and deer head “collectible,” you will see the rifle in a blue locker. It is a big weapon and you might have to make room in your inventory to grab it. To do that, go all the way back to the nursing home and make your way to the shoebox on the second floor to drop off some items.
