Loot & Reward

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

Bring a gun — scientists patrol the puzzle rooms and they're no joke.
The green-card detour is optional bonus loot; skip it if you're light on time.

Yes, they guard the puzzle rooms and deal real damage. Come armed; it's riskier than Water Treatment.
