Step-by-Step Solution

1

From the parking-area entrance, go into the large red building near the lot (its door may be boarded on a fresh wipe — break it).

2

Insert your fuse into the fuse box behind the electrical panels inside.

3

Flip the switch immediately to the left of the fuse box to power the puzzle.

4

Follow the wiring to either of the two tunnel entrances and head underground.

5

Follow the tunnel to the Green card door and swipe.

6

Loot the room with the single overhead spotlight — the Blue keycard is on the desk.

Loot & Reward

Keycard-door loot respawns every 30 minutes — far faster than open crates, so a puzzle you can reach is renewable income.

There's an oil refinery and a recycler near the parking lot — handy for processing on the spot.
Loot was bumped up in the Oct 2025 update; expect more crates than older guides show.
