Steps

  1. Turn on the switch under the stairs in the three-storey corner building.
  2. Turn on the second switch and timer in the low building with a sloping roof.
  3. Enter the main building through the green door and turn on the inside switch on the lower floor.
  4. Climb two flights of stairs and install the regular fuse in the box around the corner.
  5. Open the blue door; the red card is further up within this area.

On location

A green card is also listed along the card route. This is not a free starter location: a green card is already needed to enter.

Since 06 Aug 2026, a separate power system uses a Heavy Fuse (fuse.highgrade), with an extra room dependent on station power. Starting it is not included in the main card kit; Heavy Fuse and regular fuse are different items.

This route leads to the regular blue room containing the red card. The extra power grid room is a different destination; its Heavy Fuse count is not calculated here.

Steps

  1. Swipe the red card at the reader in the surface building and press the nearby button.
  2. Enter through the open central hatch: it closes, and the lower part of the hatch is dangerous.
  3. Progress through the underground levels with scientists to the lower loot area.
  4. To leave, return by elevators to the upper level and guard post. The wall button by the computer terminal opens the exit doors.

On location

A red card has been required since 02 Oct 2025. Older guides using a blue card describe a previous monument version.

The central hatch entrance is one-way: learn the route to the separate exit beforehand.

The 03 Sep 2026 update added destructible barriers to red rooms. Once destroyed, they do not respawn until the wipe; exact damage and explosive costs are not promised here.

What to bring

  • Green, blue and red cards, a regular Electric Fuse, weapons, ammunition, healing, light and radiation protection.
  • Scientists are encountered throughout; the card kit does not replace combat preparation.
Prepare kitItems, your stock and saves

Steps

  1. Enter the tunnels and reach the Armory sector. Install the fuse and start the timer in the service room.
  2. Return to the railway tracks, find the Storage door and open it with the green card.
  3. Inside, turn on the Laboratory switch, then return to the central tunnel.
  4. Go to the blue Laboratory door and use the blue card.
  5. Beyond it, activate the red door's short timer and use the red card. After checking the laboratory, locate the exit from the final sector.

On location

This is Military Tunnels, not the regular underground railway or the Abandoned Military Base with MLRS.

The route ends with loot; no separate next card is listed as a puzzle reward. Random drops from killed NPCs do not replace a prepared kit.

RustHelp already lists destructible tunnel barriers after Breach and Clear. Early entry may require destroying them; hit counts are not calculated here.

Steps

  1. Land on the lower platform and clear scientists from stairs and floors in order.
  2. On the upper level, open the blue door, then the red door inside the card area.
  3. Prepare cover before starting the crate hack: the event calls heavy scientist reinforcements by helicopter.
  4. Wait for the hack to finish, check containers and the route back to your transport.

On location

An already open or malfunctioning door does not prove the card is no longer required. The kit assumes the normal closed route.

RustHelp lists a green card in the monument's card area. This is a reference search location, not a guaranteed crate drop or a next tier after red.

After Power Trip, the rig has separate oil supply controls for the Dome that depend on the Power Plant. Do not confuse these with card door power.

Since September 2026, monuments with red rooms may have new destructible barriers. Fuses do not remove them; this rig's barrier configuration has not been separately verified.

A blue card is not required to reach the red door here. Do not apply the Small Oil Rig sequence to the Large Oil Rig.

RustHelp associates a green card with the optional green room; finding one on the main red branch is not promised. The card may already have been taken.

A regular fuse is needed for the separate button room. It is not required for the main crate.

The new oil supply to the Dome is a separate Power Trip mechanism that operates while the Power Plant is on.

Steps

  1. Find the lab on the seabed and enter through the flooded moonpool, where you can climb into an air-filled room.
  2. Explore accessible corridors and choose a room by reader colour. Match its fuse boxes to the separate kit, not to a list of all cards at once.
  3. If the room has fuse boxes, install the required fuses and activate its buttons, timers or switches; then use the required cards.
  4. Check the room and remember the way back to your exit. Another generated lab can have a completely different route.

On location

Each variant's fuse count applies to one selected puzzle, not the total for the entire lab.

A green card is possible only in suitable rooms. Blue and red card spawns were removed in September Update 2021; do not plan to obtain the full kit inside the lab.

Some rooms and loot are accessible without cards. A red room or specific container count is not guaranteed on every map.

Card wear, fuse condition and server rules affect repeat visits. Old diagrams of particular floors are not universal.

How keycards and fuses work

The keycard colour must match the door. A red card does not replace blue or green. Power the room first, then swipe the card at its reader. Cards lose durability; a fuse powers the puzzle for a limited time. Facepunch rules

Door kits use the regular item “Electric Fuse». «Heavy Fuse” belongs to separate Power Plant mechanisms and does not replace an ordinary fuse.

Radiation may increase near puzzle elements before a reset. Leave the danger area and do not assume one fixed timer for all servers. The old vendor no longer sells the Blue Keycard; this option was removed in Pivot Or Die. Facepunch changes

A keycard or container may already have been taken. The route identifies a search location; crate contents and keycard availability on arrival are not guaranteed.
