Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a keycard for Junkyard?expand_more
No. Junkyard has no keycard puzzle — you can walk in and loot it with no cards or fuses.
Is there a recycler at Junkyard?expand_more
Yes, Junkyard has a recycler on site. That matters more than it sounds — you can break components down into scrap before you leave instead of hauling them home, which cuts what you're carrying if you die on the way back.
Do you need a hazmat suit for Junkyard?expand_more
Junkyard has low radiation, so bring rad-resistant gear — a hazmat suit covers it comfortably. Radiation protection stacks from individual clothing pieces too, so a full set of decent gear can be enough without a dedicated suit.
How much rad protection do you need for Junkyard?expand_more
Junkyard has low radiation, so you need some coverage rather than a dedicated suit. A full rad-resistant clothing stack holds low-rad zones, and a hazmat suit's 50% radiation protection trivializes them — you'll only take slow ticks if you stand still in a hot pocket wearing rags.
