Navigating the twisted streets of Union in The Evil Within 2 requires players to scavenge for every possible resource to survive the horrors created by Mobius. Among the many hidden secrets scattered throughout Chapter 3, a locked electronic door beneath the local repair shop holds valuable gear that can significantly ease your early-game struggles. Accessing this hidden stash requires tracking down a specific keycard that serves as both a literal key and a puzzle cipher.
Finding the Union Auto Repair Shop
To begin your search, you must navigate to the northern sector of the open-world map during the third chapter of the game. Look for a building labeled Union Auto Repair, which is situated directly northwest of your starting safe house. Once inside, you will need to activate a mechanical switch to raise a vehicle on a car lift, revealing a hidden hatch that leads directly into the basement.
Locating the Dead Mobius Operative
After crawling through the subterranean passages and avoiding potential environmental hazards, you will reach a secure back room area. Inside this room, you will discover the corpse of a fallen Mobius security guard who met an unfortunate end while defending the facility. Searching this body will reward you with the crucial security item needed to open the nearby locked storage unit.
Cracking the B-34 Door Code
The locked door in the basement is clearly designated as B-34, which corresponds directly to the grid layout printed on the security card itself. By examining the card in your inventory, you can look up column B and pull the coordinates for rows three and four to decipher the passcode. Entering the combined four-digit code of 9676 into the adjacent keypad will instantly unlock the secure chamber.
Claiming Your Survival Rewards
Unlocking the door grants Sebastian access to a well-stocked supply cache filled with high-grade weapon parts and essential healing supplies. These components are vital for upgrading your arsenal and increasing your overall durability against the increasingly aggressive creatures wandering the town. Taking the time to complete this optional objective provides a massive tactical advantage for the challenges that lie ahead.
