Where is the Maintenance Keycard in Sons of the Forest?

The Maintenance Keycard will be found in a secret underground man-made bunker, just northwest of the snowy mountain range in the middle of the map. You will need to have a shovel to get to it and if you don’t have it at this point of the game, you can follow our guide on how to get the shovel.

What you are looking for is a Digsite on a trail next to a river in the northwest. You will recognize the location by seeing some geodetic equipment near it and a small broken-down golf cart. Scan the ground with your mouse and wait until you see the shovel icon.

Start digging and you will see that you are hitting something metal. Dig around the metal thing you’ve found and soon enough you’ll realize it’s a door that says “Maintenance A”. Open the door and go down the ladder.

Once you go walk the underground bunker you’ll see it looks like a modern apartment with a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. You’ll be able to loot many things from the bunker but the main thing, the Maintenance Keycard, will be sitting on top of a magazine, right next to a laptop.
