Speaking as someone who learned the hard way, working out how to open a GATE Security Crate<\/strong> in Abiotic Factor<\/a> is a fool’s errand in the early game. The Half-Life-inspired survival adventure teases your scientist with loot drops out in plain sight, but you can’t open them for quite a while.<\/p>\n

I mean a mid-to-late game kind of while, too\u2014you can’t open the crates until ages after first stumbling upon the first one in the Office Sector. Warren, the security guard hanging out in front of the cafeteria, quite literally holds the key to opening these, but you’ll need to come up with something worth trading for a GATE Security Key<\/strong> first.<\/p>\n

To open a GATE Security Crate, you’ll need to exchange one Nyxshade Seed with Warren Bunning in the Office Sector<\/strong> Tram Plaza for a GATE Security Key. The key is a one-time pass to any GATE Security Crate of your choosing.<\/p>\n

If you’re still near the beginning and limited to the Office Sector, go ahead and bookmark this guide for later. You can’t obtain a Nyxshade Seed, and so a GATE Security Key, until you’ve entered the Security Sector<\/strong>. Abiotic Factor loves to tease, so you’ll spot plenty of crates long before you can unlock them.<\/p>\n

For those ready to trade, you can craft a Nyxshade Seed after picking up a Night Essence for the idea.<\/p>\n
