'''Keycards''' are a type of [[Items|Item]] found in ''SCP: Secret Laboratory''. They are used to access different rooms in [[Site-02|Site-02]].
__TOC__
=In Game=
Keycards are essential if a player wants access certain parts of the facility, such as the armories, containment chambers, gates, SCP lockers, and other locked doors which require a Keycard to open. Different Keycards will open different doors depending on the Keycard's access tier. 

Keycards must be equipped in order to be used. A player can either equip a Keycard via the inventory, or by pressing {{Key Press|Left Control}}, which is the default hotkey button to equip a Keycard. 
To use a Keycard, the player needs to be close to a door, and must press {{Key Press|E}} on either the NFC Reader located next to the door, or on the door itself.

It should be noted that the correct access tier is required to open certain doors. If a Keycard does not have the required access tier, the door will not open. 

When hovering over a Keycard in the inventory, a small group of squares are shown. These represent the keycard's access tier. Lit squares indicates that the keycard has that access tier, while dark squares mean that it doesn't. 
==Access Tiers (Keycards)==
There are currently 12 Keycards in-game. Below is a chart of every Keycard and what access tiers they have.

==Access Tiers (Doors)==
Each door/object has an unique access tier required to open it. Keycards must have the correct access tier in order to open said door/object. 
Below is a chart showing the name of each tier, the icon for each tier, the doors each tier opens, and which Keycards have which tiers.

=Trivia=
* Multiple Keycards have been renamed throughout the game's development.
**The Research Supervisor Keycard was originally called the Major Scientist Keycard.
**The Private Keycard was originally called the Cadet Keycard, and before that it was called the Senior Guard Keycard.
**The Captain Keycard was originally called the Commander Keycard.
**The Sergeant Keycard was originally called the Lieutenant Keycard.
*Prior to the [[Updates/11.0.0|11.0.0]] update, the Containment Engineer Keycard had access to both the [[Entrance Zone#Intercom Room|Intercom]] and the [[Surface Zone#Warhead Activation Room|Alpha Warhead Activation Room]].
* Scanning the QR codes on the Keycards will give you binary. When translated the message will be '''"Secure. Contain. Protect."'''
* There used to be Polish versions of every Keycard in-game. These versions were based off the older appearance of a keycard if they had one.
*While the view model shows the keycard being held vertically, the 3rd person animation shows the Keycard being held horizontally.
**Additionally, the 3rd person animation of holding a Keycard causes the player's left arm to freeze, causing it not to move in conjunction with other animations.
*In older versions of the game, hovering over a Keycard in your inventory would say what type of Keycard it is, and what tier it was. For example, Janitor Keycard would say Containment Tier 1, Scientist Keycard would say Containment Tier 2, Captain Keycard said Security Tier 4. This was removed when the inventory HUD was reworked.
**Interestingly enough, the Chaos Insurgency Access Device was listed as Administration Tier 3, despite the fact it isn't an official Foundation Keycard. Meanwhile, the Facility Manager keycard was listed as Administration Tier 2. Because of this, there was no Foundation keycard that was Administration Tier 3 in-game.
*Throughout the game's development, the required access tier for certain interactables has changed.
**The armory in the Alpha Warhead Silo originally required Armory Access Tier 2 to open.
***This was removed in the Parabellum Update as the Weapon Locker Type 21 was changed so the small doors can be opened with Armory Access Tier 1. (Originally they required Tier 2)
**PC-15 originally required Containment Access Tier 1 to open.
***This was removed sometime during the alpha phase of the game.
**Emergency Power Stations originally required Armory Access Tier 3 to open.
***This was lowered to Armory Access Tier 2 in Megapatch II.
**The door to the Warhead Activation Room originally required Warhead Access to open, similar to the terminal inside the room.
***The Keycard requirement for the door was removed in v11.2.0.
**SCP-079's and SCP-106's containment doors originally required Containment Access Tier 3 to open them.
***SCP-079's containment doors were changed to Containment Access Tier 2 in the Parabellum update when his recontainment system was reworked. The door was also changed to be locked until all Emergency Power Stations are activated.
***SCP-106's containment doors were changed to Containment Access Tier 2 in the Mimicry update due to the Femur Breaker being removed.
***These changes have lead to Containment Access Tier 3 being completely unused.
