Ward 13 Information

• Ward 13 is the main hub of the game. It is where players can find other survivors and Merchants who offer their services such as selling gear, resources, and crafting.
  
  
• Level B2 of the Ward has a locked set of double doors.  These can be opened with the Ward 13 Key Card obtained from The Founder's Hideout.  Past the doors are a series of empty rooms as well as computer monitors which give insight into events that occurred before the Root invasion of Earth.
  
  
• Access to Submachine Gun:  Find Ward 13 Keycard on the table at Founder's Hideout.  Travel back to Ward 13, head to Level B2, and use the Ward 13 Keycard at the locked doors.  Find the Fuse in the newly opened restricted area.  Head to Level B3, put the Fuse in the fuse box on the wall, and turn on the fans.  Use the Ward 13 Keycard again to open the locked door.  Turn off the large ventilation fan by removing the fuse, and go through the fan's entryway.  Pick up the Ward 13 Master Key.  Turn the fans back on and head to Level B2.  Use the Ward 13 Master Key to open the locked door.  The Submachine Gun will be on the table.

Ward 13 Lore

• Many believe Ward 13 was built as a safeguard against a final World War that never came. Others believe that it was a research facility where new weapons were being developed. Neither could be further from the truth. A few unfortunate souls know the real reason Ward 13 was built – to house and study the World Stones. A number of Wards were built across the planet and a small shard of the original World Stone was sent to each one for further study. This lead to the discovery of the portals to other worlds… and the attention of  the Root.  During the invasion, the Wards became a haven for a few select people. The facility’s thick walls kept them safe even as the rest of the world fell to the invaders. As time passed, some Wards survived while others were lost.  The few desperate survivors of Ward 13 are all that remains of a once-larger community.
