Difficulty: medium · time on-site: 5–8 min · by RustLogic Staff
Bring exactly this
- Blue card ×1
- Electric fuse ×1
- 25 rad protection
Train Yard’s circuit climbs instead of descends: two switches on the same building — one inside, one on the roof — then the fuse next door. Nine crates make it the run worth learning perfectly.
Before you go
Blue keycard, 1 electric fuse, ~25 rad protection. No green card needed — this is the cheapest ticket to a red keycard in the game.
The route
- Three-story building — first switch. Enter the tall office building in the middle of the yard and flip the interior switch.
- Roof — second switch. Climb to the roof and hit the second switch up there. Both halves of the circuit are now armed.
- Adjacent building — fuse. Cross to the neighboring building, head upstairs, place your fuse in the box, and flip its switch.
- Blue door. Proceed to the blue reader, swipe, and step into the biggest blue-tier loot room in the game: 9 crates and the red keycard.
After the run
Recycle before you leave — nine crates of components add up fast. Then take the red card somewhere that deserves it: Military Tunnels for elite crates, or hold it for an Oil Rig raid with your crew.
