About midway through Horizon Forbidden West’s story, you’ll receive an SOS message at your base. Revealing coordinates, Aloy sets off to try and seek out the source of the SOS signal, and eventually finds a base. Inside, you’ll need to enter a Horizon Forbidden West pod number at the SOS facility in order to continue on with the story, and in this guide, we’ll explain exactly what that number is, and how you can figure it out yourself.
We should note here that the facility you head to isn’t actually called the ‘SOS Facility.’ We’re just referring to it as that in order to avoid spoilers. The ‘SOS’ part simply refers to the fact that it was a distress message that leads you to the location that began with SOS.
What Pod Number to Enter at SOS Facility in Horizon Forbidden West
The pod number you need to enter into the system is 237.
This is revealed in the initial cutscene and can also be checked by pressing the touchpad to open the various in-game menus and then tabbing over to Notebook. Under the ‘Datapoints’ section, go to ‘Text Datapoints – Quests’ and find the Distress Signal message. Within the contents, you’ll find the number ‘237’ listed.
Entering 237 into the terminal will trigger a cutscene, continuing on the main story quest. We’re not going to share any specific details on the source of the signal or the nature of the facility itself. That’s for you to enjoy all as part of the experience in Horizon Forbidden West.
All we will say is prepare for a tough battle after the cutscene completes. There are plenty of consumables and caches dotted around the room, so make good use of these to heal up and craft powerful ammo to make the fight that little bit easier.
That’s everything you need to know on what the pod number you need to enter is at the ‘SOS facility’ in Horizon Forbidden West. For more tips, tricks and guides, head over to our wiki or see more of our coverage on the game below.
