Sons of the Forest is mainly a challenge of survival in the hard desert of a desert island, but if you want to discover the secrets that are hidden under its serene exterior, you will have to investigate a little more.
Here is how to get the maintenance card in Sons of the Forest.
How to get the maintenance card in Sons of the Forest
Actually, there is more than one maintenance card in Sons of the Forest, but if you have only survived on the island for about five hours, we will mean that you want to find the card that opens the first bunker in the game.
-That is right at the end of the hall from where I would have found a 3D printer.
This access card is actually part of a longer series of missions that implies finding a series of different elements before getting access to this element.
This is because he needs a shovel to dig up a hatch that leads to his whereabouts, and that shovel can only be found once he has the Rope Gun and the re-developer necessary to reach its location.
Luckily for you, we have guides to find both articles:
Rope gun rentals
Re breather rental
Once they have both, it is time to return to a cave in the middle of the map that may have already visited but that at that time could not advance anymore, because it does not have Rope Gun or Re breather to immerse under the water.
Obviously, you have now solved both problems.
The cave we are referring to is this:

This is where you will find the shovel, and that is the final element necessary to discover the hatch where the maintenance key is located.
Rope Gun on the blockade in the Cuevas system, then use the referrer to dive under the water and locate a deeper area of the cave.
Just at the end of this system (and after having treated many mutants), you will find the shovel next to a body.

Correct, with that resolved, it is time to get out of this cave and continue with its main objective of finding the access card.
With your new tool in your hand, go to the close point of interest (marked up) to the northwest of the island.
Then you can use the shovel to discover the hatch and venture inside.
This underground security house has some mutant babies to take care of, but otherwise it is quite quiet.
In one of the rooms is the access card you are looking for, which you can then take to the cave where you found your first 3D printer and open the door.
That should give everything you need to know about how to get the maintenance card in Sons of the Forest.
