Key (Fallout)

This key is a miscellaneous item in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
There are several keys found in the wasteland, categorized into one of two types. There are low-tech keys for mechanical locks and high-tech key cards for electronic locks. Low tech locks look similar to commonly found key ring variants.

High-tech electronic lock keys appear as brightly colored flat plates or cards. Electronically locked doors are often color-coded so that one can figure out which color key card goes with which door.

Gameplay
A key that has been crafted to open a particular lock.

Locations
Commonly found throughout the wasteland, in areas where previous owners once lived or worked.
