Satellite Dish is the puzzle to learn the system on: one fuse, one switch, one swipe. If you’ve never run a monument circuit before, start here.

Before you go

Grab a green keycard (desk spawns at Supermarket, Oxum’s Gas Station, Lighthouse, Junkyard, or Ferry Terminal) and one electric fuse from any barrel run. Nothing else is required — there’s no radiation and no NPCs.

The route

  1. Find the back service building. From the main gate, head toward the rear of the compound — the puzzle uses the two small structures behind the dishes, not the dishes themselves.
  2. Slot the fuse. Inside the metal utility structure you’ll find the fuse box. Place your electric fuse — the circuit is now armed but not live.
  3. Flip the switch. In the back building, hit the power switch. You’ll hear the hum: the green card reader on the adjacent building is now powered.
  4. Swipe and enter. Move to the neighboring building’s green-lit reader, swipe your green card, and the door unlocks.
  5. Loot fast. Inside: 2 crates and the blue keycard. The card usually sits on a table or box — don’t leave without it; it’s the entire point of the run.

After the run

The recycler on-site lets you break down your barrel components before moving on. With the blue card in hand, your next stop is a blue-tier monument — Train Yard and Water Treatment only need the blue card and one fuse each.

What does the Satellite Dish puzzle give you?
A blue keycard plus 2 crates in the loot room behind the green door.
