Laboratory

== Overview ==
The laboratories are raid locations filled with gas. There are 3 laboratories in game: 1 near the Vulture Base under shipping containers (Seen on GPS as Shipment), 1 in-between the North-east corner of the map and Military Outpost, and one near the Restaurant and Mechanic. It is a great way of making a lot of cash and gear in a short amount of time.
==Entering==
The Lab requires an Orange Keycard for entry. Once inside, an alarm will sound, and the door will open. Upon entry, you'll need to take care of Military Lab Security NPCS to traverse the corridor and reach the main loot area. The Military Lab Security have a substantially higher chance to drop keycards and gear, more so than Military Metro Security. In the main loot area, you'll discover black crates containing a substantial amount of valuables, cash, weapons like the G3, AK-47, M4A1, SCAR-17, SCAR-20, Medical supplies, and gear. The lockers also have weapons and higher amounts of cash, so make sure you loot them too.
==Escape==
After spending 2 minutes and 40 seconds in the lab, a loud, low-pitched repetitive honking will go off to let you know the entrance is about to close. If you don't run to the exit within 40 seconds, the doors will close, locking you in. Surviving the cooldown until someone swipes a keycard again is possible, but highly unlikely. 
There is an alternative exit at the back of each lab that leads into the metro tunnels. This exit will close once the alarms go off warning the player that they have 40 seconds left before the main entrance closes, so the play may have to sacrifice loot to go through the alternative exit.
# The total time the lab will be open is 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
==Gear==
=== Required ===
* Gas Masks
* Orange Keycard
* A weapon
* Lockpicks 
===Recommended===
* Armor and backpacks
* Grenades
* Party of 2+
== Tips ==
Be careful about people watching the exit, is recommended to take the Metro exit, after the first Gas Mask break, you only have time for 2~3 lockers, and you should start running to metro exit.
If you have teammates make sure one of your are guarding the entry so no one can get in.
Always bring multiple Gas Masks unless you can be very quick about getting in and out.
When the lab isn't activated you are not able to loot lockers, crate and cases, it does respawn but you cannot lockpick them until an orange keycard is swiped.
The exits door do stay closed until an orange keycard is swiped.
If your gas mask breaks, check the guards as they can drop some.
The one near the crates has more loot and next the corner of the map, which makes it a bit safer.
