Payday 3 offers you with a unique first-person shooter experience with co-op crime gameplay. With a leveling and matchmaking system, your experiences will vary greatly. Apart from the usual experience of robbing banks, jewelry stores or cars, Payday 3 requires you to be more sneaky sometimes.
The Rock the Cradle Mission requires you to find a Blue Keycard from one of the guards without them noticing you. The task you need to do may sound difficult. However, with only a few steps we’re about to tell you, you’ll be able to accomplish this part of the quest very easily.
Blue Keycard Location for Rock the Cradle Mission
First, you’ll need to head the towards the quest area, which is the Neon Cradle. Once you get into the building, your quest status will change to Access the VIP Area. This means that you’ll need to do some more steps in order to access it.
Opposite to the VIP Area’s entrance, you will be able to see a Staff Only Door. Next, lockpick the door and it will open up.
Then, you’ll want to run upstairs and lockpick the door of Cassandra Rifkin’s office we’re about to show you.
After you’ve climbed up the stairs, you’ll be able to see a door to your left. This door will lead you inside Cassandra’s Office.
Keep it in mind that there is a camera to the right, so you’ll want to crouch in the location we’ve marked for you. This will prevent you from being detected.
Once you are in the room, your quest status will change to Hack Rifkin’s Phone. Rifkin will then be highlighted on the map, wherever they are.
You will then need to go to that location and find her. We cannot show you her exact location since it differs for each player.
Most of the time, she will be on the second floor, and you can take the stairs next to the Neon Cradle Bar.
Once you’ve climbed up the stairs, remember to crouch since this is a private area. You will then be able to find Rifkin, sneak behind her and hack her phone.
You’ll need to stay near Rifkin for the hack progress to complete. After that, go back to Rifkin’s room and scan the QR code.
This will then give you access to the display case to the left. After the case opens up, you can pick up the VIP Invitations.
Your quest status will then change to Authenticate the VIP Invitations. This means that you’ll need to authenticate the invitation you just got by heading towards the staff room to the left of the VIP area’s entrance. As you lockpick the door, try not to be spotted by the nearby bartender.
After the door opens up, place your VIP Invitations on the device to the right side of the table. As you do this, be aware of the camera that’s on the wall to your left.
After that, interact with the computer to hack it. Wait for the hack process to finish itself and select yes on the computer screen.
After that, your VIP Invitations will start working and you can head towards the VIP Area’s Entrance to unlock it. What you want to do next is to go inside, then sneak behind the door.
When you sneak behind the door, you’ll be able to see the Blue Keycard behind one of the guards. You can then pick this up without revealing your location to the nearby guard. After that, you’ll have access to the Blue Keycard.
That is how you can get the Blue Keycard for the Rock the Cradle Mission in Payday 3! Instead of having to go to a location that’s far away to find a guard, you can go outside the VIP Longue. This will allow you to easily find a guard and pickpocket his card without being spotted!
