Black Keycard farming works best when the route targets realistic spawn points and high-value sources. Because several locations are inside The Lab, the farm requires strong map knowledge, safe routing, and extraction discipline.

Another known direct Lab spawn location |
|
Boss loot |
Selected bosses and high-value AI sources |

|

|
Streets locked safe use |
Cardinal apartment locked-bedroom safe opened with Black Keycard |
Adds value once the card is obtained |
The main reason players want Black Keycard is access to G12 in The Lab. The room is compact, but its medical loot value makes it useful for players who farm injectors, meds, and Lab-specific profit routes.

Extra R22 use |

|
High-risk environment |
The Lab has no insurance returns for abandoned insured gear |
Makes clean execution and extraction especially important |
Knowledge (and tons of valuable supplies) hidden inside the Lab are sought out by many PMCs, with the Black Keycard going for 2,000,000 – 2,500,000 roubles at the very least.
Black Keycard is a TerraGroup Labs keycard used to unlock several high-value locations. Current public data lists its uses as the laboratory experiment area G12 in The Lab, Kruglov’s office R22, the R22 safe, and the safe in the locked bedroom inside the Cardinal apartment on Streets of Tarkov.
The main use of Black Keycard is opening the G12 laboratory experiment area in The Lab. It also opens Kruglov’s office R22, the safe in that office, and a safe connected to the locked bedroom inside the Cardinal apartment on Streets of Tarkov.
Black Keycard can spawn inside The Lab, including O11 on a scientific supplies table, O22 on a computer desk, and G22 near a computer workstation, with G22 requiring Green Keycard access. It can also appear from selected boss or rare loot sources depending on current loot rules and raid RNG.
