Key Items & Mission Specifics

Throughout the campaign, you'll encounter various key items that are essential for progressing through missions. These items are typically found in specific locations and are automatically used when you interact with the relevant object.

• Keycards: Used to open locked doors in facilities like the Umbrella Lab or RPD. Often found on defeated enemies or in nearby offices.
• Security Bypass Devices: Used to hack security panels or disable automated defenses.
• Explosive Charges: Mission-specific items used to destroy objectives like virus samples or barricades.
• Data Disks/USB Drives: Used to retrieve critical information from computer terminals.
• Valve Handles/Levers: Used to activate machinery, open floodgates, or restore power.

These items are usually highlighted by the objective marker on your mini-map. Always ensure the operative carrying the key item is protected, especially during intense firefights. Some key items might require a specific character's expertise (e.g., Beltway for explosives, Spectre for hacking, though the game often allows any character to interact).
