How to get the Bolt Cutters in Alan Wake 2
You’ll obtain the Bolt Cutters in Alan Wake 2 during the Return 5 – Old Gods chapter, where Saga Anderson is playable. We don’t want to spoil all the major details, but here’s a quick summary:
- Both Return 4 – No Chance and Return 5 – Old Gods take place in Bright Falls. These lead you to the western portion of the town, where you’ll eventually arrive at Valhalla Nursing Home.
- While chatting with the old folks, you’ll realize that something is amiss. The main objective then requires you to open a portal to the Overlap in this area.
- After acquiring the Anger’s Remorse record and playing it on the jukebox, a portal will appear over the pond at the courtyard.
