Storm Cellar
PATCH 1.0.2 · VERIFIED

Requirements

Escape Key or Bolt Cutters

Before you open it

  • Clear the vines or wooden boards blocking the cellar hatch before using your Escape Key or Bolt Cutters.

Known mechanics

  • Cellar hatch entrance; opened with an Escape Key or Bolt Cutters.
  • The hatch is usually blocked by vines or wooden boards — clear the obstruction before attempting to open it (reported by most sources).
  • Open time varies with match state — the tool makes no fixed-duration claims.
Sedan
PATCH 1.0.2 · VERIFIED

Requirements

Repair Kit + Gas Can + Sedan Keys

Known mechanics

  • With all three items the sedan can reach a Ready state.
  • Ready is a state, not a permanent unlock — in-match conditions can regress; re-confirm before committing.
Outer Gate
PATCH 1.0.2 · VERIFIED

Requirements

Fuse — Escape Key or Bolt Cutters

Before you open it

  • Clear the vines or wooden boards blocking the Outer Gate before restoring power and opening it.

Known mechanics

  • Requires a Fuse to restore power, plus an Escape Key or Bolt Cutters for the gate.
  • The gate is usually blocked by vines or wooden boards — clear the obstruction before restoring power and opening it (reported by most sources).
  • Current gate state varies per match — the tool never assumes identical in-match states.
Police Wagon
PATCH 1.0.2 · LIMITED EVIDENCE

Requirements

Available telephone (chain entry)

Known mechanics

  • Conditional chain: telephone available → police call progress → police response → wagon arrival.
  • No hardcoded call counts, exact times, or fixed spawn locations (PRD §15).

Conditional steps

  • Phone Available
  • Police Call Progress
  • Police Response
  • Wagon Available
Police Car
PATCH 1.0.2 · LIMITED EVIDENCE

Requirements

Escape Key or Bolt Cutters

Known mechanics

  • Conditional escape route; not treated as the default best route (PRD §15).
  • Appearance is strongly match-state dependent; evidence is limited.
