4 monuments use the red keycard: Launch Site, Military Tunnels, Large Oil Rig and Missile Silo. Swipe it at that monument's card reader to open the puzzle door.

Can you craft or buy a Red Keycard?expand_more

No — keycards can't be crafted, and the safe-zone shops don't sell them. The only way to get a red 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.

Is the Red Keycard the highest keycard in Rust?expand_more

Yes. Green → Blue → Red is the whole chain, and the red keycard is the top tier — it opens the final loot rooms at the biggest monuments.
