Rust green keycard: where to find your first card

Rust green keycard: the checked guides identify fixed pickups at Oxum's Gas Station, the supermarket, lighthouse and junkyard. Find a card before spending a fuse on a locked puzzle room.

Choose one location you can inspect

Older Rustafied clues point to the gas station side room/garage access, the supermarket rear room, the lighthouse entrance-side room and the junkyard container platform near the crane. These are navigation anchors, not a copied map or a promise the card is currently present.

Hizzle recommends checking the actual pickup and the return route before planning the next monument. Another player may have reached the location first; an empty desk does not prove your edition has removed keycards.

Turn green into a useful next step

Rust Harbor puzzle: green card to blue card explains a researched green-card/fuse route to a blue card. Inspect the powered reader before spending a card use. One checked reference warns that an unpowered swipe still consumes durability; exact current durability and reset timers remain UNSURE in this draft.

PC map variants, community modifications and Console Edition can differ. This page does not claim a measured safest location or a guaranteed drop rate.
