How to Get the Level 6 Keycard
Published 2026-09-254 min read
The Level 6 Keycard in Control: Resonant never drops from the main story — here is the Act III side story and the FBC base desk where it waits.
Clearance levels are back in Control: Resonant, and a good number of offices and restricted areas inside the Oldest House stay sealed until Dylan holds the matching keycard. Level 6 clearance is the easiest to miss of the lot, because the main story never simply hands it to you — the card is tied to a side story that only opens up in the third act.
Step 1: Reach Act III
Push the campaign until the third act begins. Around that point Dylan receives the "Zoe's Briefing" task, which points toward a side story called Fresh Mold.
Step 2: Start the Fresh Mold Side Story
Fresh Mold is an investigation into the disappearance of Dr. Underhill and her research into the mold spreading through Manhattan. The good news: you do not need to finish the entire story to claim the keycard. It is obtainable during the very first objective.
Step 3: Search the Desk at the FBC Base
Start Fresh Mold and follow its opening objective, which routes Dylan to the Federal Bureau of Control base in the Park. Once there, search the desk holding the information on Dr. Underhill. The Level 6 Keycard rests on that desk alongside the investigation materials. Pick it up and Dylan permanently holds Level 6 clearance, which lets you walk back into the Oldest House and open what was previously locked.
What Level 6 Actually Opens
Level 6 clearance matters for two offices on the Executive Sector's upper floor:
- Dr. Underhill's office — opening it is required to push Fresh Mold forward, so grabbing the keycard at the FBC base is a mandatory step of the investigation anyway.
- The optional office — nothing forces you inside, but it is worth the detour: Dylan finds extra lore documents and a container holding rare resources for crafting and upgrades.
Why Players Miss It
A pure main-line run can genuinely finish without ever seeing this card, because the trigger is starting Fresh Mold — an easy thing to skip. The whole loop is short, though:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Reach Act III and read Zoe's Briefing |
| 2 | Start the Fresh Mold side story |
| 3 | Complete its first objective at the FBC base in the Park |
| 4 | Take the Level 6 Keycard from Dr. Underhill's desk |
| 5 | Return to the Executive Sector and open the Level 6 doors |
In short: no need to search every corner of the Oldest House for Level 6 clearance. Start Fresh Mold in Act III, visit the FBC base in the Park, lift the card off the desk, and the Executive Sector's sealed offices open up.
