Taego Secret Rooms

Taego secret rooms open with hidden keys. According to Update 13.1, keys are scattered across Taego and can be looted. Once you have one, you can open a secret-room door and enter to collect items.

Update 13.1 lists Self AEDs, scopes, healing items and throwables among the room loot, with a low chance of Care Package items. Use the marked map above to choose a room, then follow the steps below. Update 35.2 says Secret Room Keys spawn only in Normal Match.

How to use a Taego secret room

1. Look for a hidden key

Start in Normal Match. In its destructible-pots section, Update 35.2 says Secret Room Keys spawn only in that mode. The earlier Update 13.1 PC notes describe hidden keys scattered across Taego that players can loot.

Keep an eye out for a key while you are collecting your other equipment. The key is the item that lets you open a secret-room door, so finding one is the first step before you can collect the loot inside.

2. Take the key to a door

With a key in hand, head to a secret room and open its door. Update 13.1 describes the sequence simply: obtain the key, open the door and enter to loot. The console notes for the same update describe the same process.

The key gets you through the door; the next step is to inspect the items inside. You do not need to choose a particular type of loot before opening the room.

3. Check the room's loot

Update 13.1 lists Self AEDs, scopes, healing items and throwables as secret-room loot. It describes a large number of healing items and throwables, plus a low chance of Care Package items. The console notes for Update 13.1 list the same categories.

Look through the items and consider what fits the equipment you are carrying. A scope, healing items or throwables may fill a gap in your loadout. The chance of Care Package loot is low, so treat it as a possibility rather than an expected part of every visit.

The range of items is useful to keep in mind when deciding what to collect: the room is not just a source of one kind of supply. Check the available loot before moving on, and prioritise what you want to carry.

Why older key advice may differ

The update history helps explain why instructions from different periods may describe different key availability. Update 21.1 said Taego and Paramo keys would not spawn in any mode because of a door-opening bug. During that update, the normal search for a key was interrupted.

Update 21.2 reported that the door-opening bug was fixed. Keys were again available in every mode at the time of the live-server fix. That statement belongs to a different point in the update history from the later qualification in Update 35.2, which says Secret Room Keys spawn only in Normal Match.

When comparing an older guide with this one, look for the update it discusses. The interruption in Update 21.1, the fix in Update 21.2 and the mode qualification in Update 35.2 describe different stages, rather than three instructions to follow at once.

Taego secret-room checklist

• Choose Normal Match for your key search, following Update 35.2's qualification.
• Look for and loot a hidden key, as described in Update 13.1.
• Take the key to a secret-room door, open it and enter.
• Check for Self AEDs, scopes, healing items and throwables.
