The red keycard in Mycopunk is obtained inside the pyramid structure that can appear on various maps. To open the pyramid door you must match four buttons beside it to the correct damage type: blue needs electricity, red needs fire, green needs acid, and white needs a melee (hand) attack. Once the door opens, enter the pyramid, open the chest inside, and take the red keycard. The pyramid is not guaranteed to spawn on every mission, so if it is missing, leave and start another mission until you find one. The guide's author located theirs on Titanopolis, but the pyramid can appear elsewhere as well.

Prerequisites

  • Weapons or abilities that can deal fire, acid, and electricity damage.
  • A melee or hand attack for the white button.
  • Access to missions where the pyramid can spawn (the guide's example: Titanopolis).
  • The ability to replay or restart missions until the pyramid appears.

Step 1: Find the pyramid

  1. Start a mission and open the map.
  2. Look for the pyramid-shaped building shown in the map layout.
  3. If the pyramid is not present, abandon or finish the mission and try another until it appears.

Step 2: Open the pyramid door

Walk to the pyramid and find its door. There are buttons on the left and right sides. Attack each button with the element that matches its color:

Button colorRequired attack
BlueElectricity
RedFire
GreenAcid
WhiteHand / melee attack

After all buttons are hit correctly, the door opens. Go inside, open the chest, and collect the red keycard.

Step 3: Unlock the special mission

  1. With the red keycard in hand, select the mission named Ценный актив (Valuable Asset).
  2. On that mission, go to the marked location.
  3. Find the building there and open its door using the red keycard.
  4. Follow the corridor and activate the terminal.
  5. This unlocks the new mission.

Step 4: Complete the unlocked mission

  1. In the hub, choose the mission marked with question marks.
  2. On the mission you will find a huge circular barrier.
  3. Wait for glitched enemies to spawn. Kill them and pick up the red orbs they drop.
  4. Throw the red orbs at the barrier until it breaks.
  5. Go to the center of the map. A boss will appear.
  6. Every time the boss loses a third of its HP, it will raise the same shield you broke earlier.
  7. Again wait for glitched enemies, kill them, and throw their red orbs at the boss until the shield breaks.
  8. Repeat as needed, kill the boss, and receive the legendary upgrade.

What the upgrade does

The upgrade lets you control your plate on the plasmathrower. The guide's author considers it useful and worth the effort. Note that this mission is one-time only, so you cannot replay it to farm the reward.

Quick checklist

  • Find pyramid on a mission map.
  • Hit blue with electricity, red with fire, green with acid, white with hand attack.
  • Open chest inside pyramid for red keycard.
  • Run Ценный актив, open building with keycard, activate terminal.
  • Select question-mark mission, break barrier with red orbs from glitched enemies.
  • Break boss shield the same way at each third of its HP, then kill it.
