Prey Keycards Locations - Where to Find
Keycards are often necessary for unlocking doors in Prey. You’ll use them on all manners of doors that are electronically locked, as you’d expect. Without them, it’ll be much harder to access some areas, such as the Simulation Lab, Morgan Yu’s suite, and so on. In this guide, we’ll show you Prey Keycard locations to help you unlock doors on Talos I.
Note: This guide is a work in progress. We’ll be adding more keycard locations as we find them.
Prey Keycode Locations – Keypad Combination List
Prey Morgue Keycard
The morgue is located on level 1 of the Psychotronics area, in the western part of the map. A section of it is locked, and funnily enough, the keycard is inside it. You don’t really need it, though, as there are other ways to get in. You could break one of the barred windows on the side of the room, then use the boltcaster to shoot the override button by the door. When you get in, you’ll find the keycard on the table.
Where to Find Simulation Lab Keycard
As you’re trying to escape the Simulation Lab into the Lobby, you’ll run into a locked door. This is the first time you’ll meet with keycards in Prey. Fortunately, the keycard is nearby. Turn back and you’ll see an exotic plant with pink flowers in a glass display case on your left. Right next to it is the office of Dr. Sylvain Bellamy. The Simulation Lab keycard is on the desk, left of the computer screen. watch out for eh Mimic that will try to ambush you from behind.
Trauma Center Keycard Location
The keycard for the trauma center/med bay is located in the main lobby. You’ll find it on Level 1, right in the middle of the lobby. It’s on the counter across the hall from the shuttle bay entrance. You can let the turret take care of any enemies you encounter here – it’s in the corner near the counter. If you’re attacked, you can simply run behind the turret.
Prey Morgan Yu’s Suite Keycard – Where to Get
You can find this keycard in Morgan Yu’s office. Go up the stairs that are between the Security corridor and Transtar Exhibit. Go all the way up the stairs (mind the Mimics) and go right. On the left, at the end of the short corridor, is your office. You can’t miss it, the name is above the door in huge letters. However, the door to your office is password-protected. Go to the computer on the right of the door and check the sticky note in the upper left corner to find out the computer password. Then, go to the emails and you’ll find out the pass code for the door. Go inside and check the small area on the left. Check the table in there, and you’ll find the Morgan Yu Suite keycard among some crafting materials and other knickknacks.
Teleconferencing Center Keycard Location
This keycard is also located in Morgan Yu’s office. This one isn’t that hard to find, and you won’t have to look far for it, since the Teleconferencing center is across from the hallway where your office is.

Enter your office and head to the desk. The Teleconferencing keycard is lying next to the computer screen.

This will open the secret safe with Lorenzo Calvino’s Cabin keycard and a couple of neuromods.
Prey General Access Keycard
The General Access keycard is fairly easy to get as the story progresses. After you bring the looking glass system back online, head back to the Lobby and into your office.

You now have access to the main lift and all the labs.
