Find and Use Keycards to Unlock High-Tier Loot Rooms

Locating Keycards and Security Codes

Keycards are essential for accessing sealed rooms in ruined buildings. These rooms contain rare weapons, armor, and crafting materials unavailable elsewhere.

Search systematically. Explore every floor of large city structures. Keycards are often found in offices, security stations, and military outposts within ruins.

Look for clues. Security codes may be written on nearby terminals, whiteboards, or corpses. Read environmental storytelling—notes and signs often hint at passcodes.

Check NPC traders. Friendly factions sometimes sell keycards or codes if you've built reputation through trading.

Accessing Locked Doors

Approach the security panel. Stand before a keycard door and interact with the control panel.

Input the code. Enter the security code you've found. Codes are typically numeric sequences.

Use your keycard. Insert the keycard into the slot if the door requires one.

Claim your rewards. High-tier rooms contain military-grade weapons, advanced armor, medical supplies, and rare crafting components.

Keep a notebook of codes you discover—you may need them again in other locations. Prioritize exploring military and government buildings first, as they typically have the best loot behind security doors.
