What to know

  • The Redleaf Override Access Card is the first of three key cards tied to endgame progression
  • It is found at the Satellite Point of Interest on the far side of the map
  • The card is located inside the satellite complex, not in the open exterior
  • Securing this card unlocks access paths to late-game schematics and systems

The Redleaf Override Access Card, commonly called the Red Key Card, is your first mandatory stop if you’re aiming to unlock endgame blueprints in StarRupture. This guide focuses only on the Redleaf card, walking you through where it is, how to reach it, and what to expect once you’re inside the Satellite Point of Interest.

Reaching the Satellite point of interest

The Satellite POI sits on the opposite side of the map from most early-game spawn zones. Expect a longer traversal before you even reach the structure. Once you arrive, you’ll see a cluster of satellite-related buildings arranged around a central area. This location houses multiple high-value schematics, but only if you unlock them in the correct order.

How to find the Redleaf Override Access Card

Step 1: Enter the central satellite area

After reaching the Satellite POI, move into the main cluster of buildings rather than circling the outer perimeter. The Redleaf card is not located in exterior containers or satellite debris.

Step 2: Identify the second building from your entry point

From where you initially enter the satellite complex, count inward toward the middle.

The Redleaf card is inside the second structure you encounter, not the first one directly in front of you.

Step 3: Search the interior carefully

Once inside the second building, scan the interior thoroughly. The card is placed in an accessible spot at the topmost ledge, making it straightforward compared to later key cards.

Step 4: Secure the card before moving deeper

Pick up the Redleaf Override Access Card from a dead body immediately. Doing so ensures you don’t need to backtrack later once you begin opening locked endgame areas.

What the Redleaf card unlocks

Unlock typeDescription
Override systemsEnables access-controlled satellite terminals
Blueprint progressionFirst step toward endgame schematics
POI access flowRequired before searching for other key cards

Common mistakes to avoid while searching

  • Skipping the second building and searching the outer structures first
  • Assuming the card is guarded by a boss encounter
  • Leaving the satellite area before confirming the card is in your inventory

Because this is the first key card, the game intentionally keeps the challenge low. The real difficulty comes later, once you start hunting the remaining cards.

Why the Redleaf card should be your first objective

StarRupture’s endgame progression is tightly structured. Without the Redleaf Override Access Card, other locked systems at the Satellite POI remain unusable. Getting this card early saves time, reduces unnecessary combat, and sets a clean foundation for collecting the remaining access cards.
