Where to Find It
Chapter
The Basement
Location
Maintenance area of the Basement, near the first Mutant encounter.
Step-by-Step
- From the locked Electrical door, explore the side rooms and learn the locker locations before grabbing anything.
- Pick up the Key from the workbench at the end of the long corridor (an autosave sits just before the corner).
- The Mutant enters immediately. Run back to the locker beside the workbench, hide, and hold your breath only when prompted.
- Once it leaves, sneak back, unlock the Electrical door, and pull the red switch inside.
- The red switch opens a door back in the corridor area — a chase follows; run, do not hide in the single-exit electrical room.
- Found the code or mechanism? Tell us via search feedback — verification protects other players.
What It Unlocks
Access to the red switch, which opens the route out of the maintenance area.
