Now you’re ready to get the Maintenance Keycard
As the entrance is not in plain sight, we’ll have to show you how to get into the maintenance bunker. Remember that you will need certain tools before you can do this.
- Approach the green circle on your GPS Tracker
- You will see golf carts and some surveying equipment
- Find the obvious dirt patch that the carts and equipment are surrounding
- Equip a shovel and start digging into the dirt
- Digging will eventually uncover a maintenance hatch
- Enter the hatch and walk down the hallway until you see an open room
- Go into the room and check the table that the 3D Printer is on
- Pick up the Maintenance Keycard
Whilst you’re here, you can also find the best axe in the game, the Firefighter Axe. This axe can be found at the very end of the hallway. The 3D Printer is also great for making Tech Armor, 3D Printed Arrows, or the Water Flask.
What to do with the Maintenance Keycard
The main purpose of the Maintenance Keycard is to allow you access to other bunkers. These bunkers contain other important keycards and goodies that you otherwise couldn’t have found anywhere else. For example, you will need the Maintenance Keycard to access the bunkers that house both the Guest and VIP Keycards.
The Guest Keycard is one of the most important keycards, as it lets you access the Residential Bunker. This place has a few notable loot items, such as the Katana and Golden Armor. The VIP Keycard is less important, as it only opens up an additional room with loot in the bunker with the Guest Keycard.
