Getting the BSAA Container Key

The key is obtained through normal story progression — you won’t miss it if you’re following the main quest. Once you have it:

• It opens all three containers
• It’s permanent — no need to worry about losing it
• Recommended: As soon as you get the key, backtrack and open any containers you found earlier

Optimal Collection Route

Recommended Order:
1. Early game: Note Container #1 location at Central Camp
2. When you find the fuel canister: Head to Container #2
3. After getting the BSAA key:
   → Return to open Container #1 (Central Camp)
   → Open Container #2 (underground passage)
   → Head to Raccoon City start for Container #3

Things to Keep in Mind

1. Mark containers on your mental map when you find them before you have the key
2. Return immediately after getting the key — don’t put it off
3. Clear your inventory before opening containers — they hold a lot
4. Watch for enemies near some container locations

4. Enemies may be nearby — clear the area before spending time at the container

For Speedrunners

• Containers #2 and #3 are optional for story completion but worth it for resources
• Weigh the time cost against the resource gain based on your route
