Jump off the bridge to the balcony on the left, smash the glass to enter an apartment with a tabletop RPG left out on the table. Progress past the kitchen to find the Neighbor Exchange artifact on the table with the whiteboard. This will give you the clue to figure out the combination for the safe: 30-23-04.

Safe location

From the Neighbor Exchange artifact, turn around and enter the closest room. The safe is against the wall. Enter the code 30-23-04 to grab some ammo and crafting supplies.

Scavenging List Artifact location

At the spot where Abby tells Lev to be careful because the water is “really picking up,” hop across the river to reach Interbay, a cell phone store. As you enter, look for the corpse in front of you. Find the Scavenging List artifact next to it.
