Exploring Isla Santuario early in Far Cry 6 leads players to Fort Quito, a heavily guarded military installation filled with valuable supplies. While infiltrating this fortress during the "Du or Die" quest, many players run into locked doors and caged weapon chests that seem to require a specific key. Understanding where keys are located and how to bypass certain security barriers will save you time and help you unlock early game rewards.
Infiltrating Fort Quito on Isla Santuario
Fort Quito is situated on the eastern coastline of Isla Santuario, serving as an early military stronghold under Anton Castillo's regime. Players are directed to this base during the main storyline to secure depleted uranium for Juan Cortez.
While clearing out enemy forces, you will notice multiple locked areas containing valuable weapon caches and military resources. Identifying the main entry points allows players to loot the base efficiently without triggering unnecessary alarms .
Locating the Fort Quito Armory Key
If you are searching for the key to access locked storage rooms and the uranium depot, head toward the main administrative quarters. The keycard is situated on a desk inside the southwest office on the second floor of the main building. Picking up this keycard allows full access to the primary military stash room where essential crafting materials reside.
Alternatively, players who defeat the high-ranking commanding officer roaming the fort can retrieve the keycard directly from his body. This offers a flexible tactical approach whether you prefer stealth or direct combat.
Unlocking the Basement Yaran Contraband Chest
Down in the basement of Fort Quito, players often discover a locked cage holding a Yaran Contraband chest. Many players waste time searching for a non-existent key to unlock the metal cage door. In reality, this locked area requires environmental destruction rather than a physical key.
To enter the caged room, look at the right side of the fence enclosure to locate a section covered with wooden boards. Use your melee weapon to smash through the plywood panel or shoot nearby explosive barrels to blow open the entrance. Once inside, you can open the chest to acquire the powerful Autocrat unique pistol early in your adventure.
Maximizing Early Rewards at Fort Quito
Securing the weapon chest in the basement along with the depleted uranium significantly boosts your early offensive capabilities. The Autocrat pistol comes pre-equipped with armor-piercing rounds, making headshots against armored soldiers far more effective.
Before leaving the island, ensure you have thoroughly searched every office and storage unit for extra ammunition and materials. Clearing Fort Quito completely sets a strong foundation for the rest of your Yara revolution.
