What is a Lab’s Keycard?

Red keycards, actually, are used to open a facility inside labs. There you will find a lot of loot, ammunition, weapons, arsenal, and other beneficial game content.  

Although a red card is used in the lab map, it isn’t found there, in the same way, just like other cards, such as Unknown Key or Factory Key. 

You can find a red keycard in 5 different maps, but to get it, you will need to either kill a boss or wait for it to spawn at a specific point.

The red keycard in question is on the blue barrel you will find inside the room. 

You can access this room directly from room 2018 or room 221 and 222 as well. If you access these two last rooms, you will need to move across the balconies that are outside of those rooms. Let’s take a look at the places where you will find these three room's keys.
