PlushSpiffo.pngThis article is about key to open doors. For key to open padlocks, see Key (Padlock). For a car key, see Car Key.

A key is used to lock and unlock doors in the game.

Usage

Locking and unlocking

Keys are connected to garage doors and regular door around the house, hovering over the key in your inventory will highlight the doors it is connected to in yellow. If it is in the player's inventory, the "Unlock Door" context option will appear when selecting a door.

Location

A key is a common item. Although it is possible to find keys in containers such as counters, dressers, and crates, it is much more common to find them on the corpses of zombies that were inside or in the vicinity of the building. If a door exists, it is likely to have a key that corresponds to it.

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
