Keycards and Security Scans

Unlock the secrets of GTFO's keycards and security scans. Learn how to navigate complex levels, gather crucial PIDs, and survive the horrors within.

Alright, let's talk about navigating the darker corners of GTFO, specifically focusing on how you'll be grabbing those important Personnel IDs (PIDs). This isn't just about shooting; it's about smart exploration and knowing which doors to open (and which ones to avoid until you're ready). This guide covers the ALT://R1B1 expedition, which is your first real taste of the 'Gather Items' objective.

Objectives

The primary objective here is to Gather Items, specifically 12 Personnel IDs. These PIDs are spread across zones 39 through 45. Each of these zones can hold between 3 and 4 PIDs, giving you a total of 18 potential PIDs to find. The good news? You only need 12 to make your escape, meaning you can skip some zones entirely.

Here are your main options for collecting those PIDs:

Option 1: Zones 43-45

This route involves hitting three zones that are generally accessible without special keys.

1. Start by entering Zone 43. Be ready, as this zone triggers a CLASS II ALARM. Grab any PIDs you find here.
2. Next, head into Zone 44, which will trigger a more intense CLASS III ALARM. Collect the PIDs within.
3. Finally, push into Zone 45, another CLASS III ALARM zone. Secure the remaining PIDs you need from here.

Pro-Tip: Zone 43 contains a Colored Key. If you grab this, you can unlock the door to Zone 39, which might be part of another strategy.

Option 2: Zones 41-42

This path is a bit more straightforward in terms of alarms but has its own threats.

1. Enter Zone 41 and start collecting PIDs.
2. Proceed to Zone 42 and continue your search.

Heads Up: Both Zone 41 and Zone 42 are known to spawn a Scout, so keep your ears and eyes peeled for those sneaky threats.

Option 3: Zones 39-40 (Requires Colored Key)

This option is only viable if you've managed to snag the Colored Key from Zone 43.

1. Use the key to access Zone 39 and collect PIDs.
2. Move on to Zone 40 and gather the rest.

Warning: Zones 39 and 40 are particularly dangerous, as they often house a high concentration of Giants and Big Shooters. Approach with extreme caution and make sure your team is ready for a serious fight.

Once you've collected at least 12 PIDs, make your way back to the expedition's entry point and extract.

Recommended Route

For a balanced approach that minimizes risk while maximizing PID collection, consider this path: Zone 43 (grab the key!) > Zone 44 > Zone 41 > Zone 42 > Zone 39. This route often allows you to gather enough PIDs without needing to venture into the notoriously tough Zone 45, saving you from another CLASS III ALARM.

Resources per Zone

Knowing where to find supplies can make or break your run. Here's a general breakdown of Ammo, Medkits, and Tools you can expect in each zone. Remember, these percentages can vary slightly.

Enemy Types

Be prepared for the threats lurking in ALT://R1B1. You'll encounter a mix of common and tougher enemies:

• Striker
• Shooter
• Giant
• Big Shooter
• Scout (found in Zones 41 & 42)

Keep an eye out for the specific spawns mentioned for Zones 39, 40, 41, and 42 to better plan your engagements.
