Which monuments need a Blue Keycard?expand_more

11 monuments use the blue keycard: Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Airfield, Power Plant, Water Treatment Plant, Train Yard, Large Oil Rig, Small Oil Rig, Missile Silo, Ferry Terminal and Radtown. Swipe it at that monument's card reader to open the puzzle door.

Can you craft or buy a Blue Keycard?expand_more

No — keycards can't be crafted, and the safe-zone shops don't sell them. The only way to get a blue keycard is to loot one: it's waiting inside the room the previous card unlocks.

Are Rust keycards single-use?expand_more

Yes — a keycard is consumed the moment you swipe it at the reader, so you need a fresh one for each run. Grab spares if you plan to chain several monuments in one trip.

What keycard comes after the Blue Keycard?expand_more

The Red Keycard. Red keycards sit behind a blue-card door, almost always at the larger monuments. You spend a blue card to reach the room that holds a red one, then use the red for the final loot room.
