In The Evil Within 2, the Union Security Card is an essential item that allows you to unlock secure areas by generating door codes. While it can be used for multiple doors, the first and most commonly encountered challenge is unlocking door B-34 in the underground section of the auto repair shop. If you’re stuck trying to figure out how to access this area, this guide will walk you through the process of finding the Union Security Card and using it to unlock door B-34.
Locating the Union Security Card in Union Auto Repair
To acquire the Union Security Card, you need to navigate to the Union Auto Repair shop. This location is situated in the northern part of the map. A convenient time to undertake this task is during the Rogue Signal side mission, as the auto repair shop is a designated destination within that questline.
Upon entering the auto repair shop, head to the back office to find a Residual Memory. Close to this memory, you’ll find a fuse box. Interacting with this fuse box is necessary to restore power to the facility, which is crucial for accessing the underground area where the Security Card is located.
Solving the Auto Repair Shop Fuse Box Puzzle
The fuse box presents a simple yet necessary puzzle. Your objective is to illuminate all the lights in the row by flipping the switches correctly. Each switch activates a specific number of lights. You must activate exactly the number of bulbs displayed on the panel without exceeding it, as exceeding the number will reset the puzzle.
Solution: Flip switch 2 first to light up six bulbs, and then flip switch 4 to light up the remaining four bulbs. This will solve the puzzle and restore power.
After solving the puzzle, remain vigilant. A Hysteric enemy will enter the central garage area once the power is back online. It’s advisable to perform a sneak attack followed by a few quick shotgun blasts to eliminate her swiftly.
Once the Hysteric is dealt with, proceed to the control panel near the car on the hydraulic lift. Activate the panel to raise the lift, revealing a hatch that leads to the underground passageway.
Descend into the underground passage and follow it to find another Residual Memory. Continue through the passage, crouching under the steel beam. In the subsequent corridor, near a fence and several hostile Lost enemies, you will find the corpse of a Mobius soldier. The Union Security Card is located on this body. Be cautious as a Lost enemy may appear immediately after you retrieve the card.
Using the Union Security Card to Unlock Door B-34
Immediately next to the location where you found the Union Security Card, you’ll see door B-34. Examining the Union Security Card reveals a grid of numbers instead of a magnetic strip or traditional unlocking mechanism. This number grid is the key to deciphering the passcode for door B-34.
Observe the keypad beside door B-34. When you interact with it, your Union Security Card will appear next to the keypad interface, assisting you in determining the code. Since you are unlocking door B-34, focus on column B of the grid on your Security Card. You need to combine the numbers from row 3 and row 4 of column B.
Deciphering the Code: Row B-3 provides the number 96, and row B-4 gives you 76. Combining these, you get the code 9676.
Enter “9676” into the keypad to successfully unlock door B-34 and access the area beyond.
This method of using the Union Security Card and the number grid can be applied to unlock other keycode-protected doors you encounter throughout The Evil Within 2. Remember to always check the door designation (like B-34) and cross-reference it with the corresponding column and rows on your Union Security Card to derive the correct passcode.
