The Sewer Key was a new addition with the Schedule 1 Halloween update, which you can either buy, pickpocket, or track down at a random spawn point.
Each method caters to different playstyles and stages of progress, so knowing where and how to find the Sewer Key is crucial.
Schedule 1 Sewer Key quick details
- Fastest method: Buy from Jen Heard
- Cost: $1,000
- Early-game method: Pickpocket NPCs
- Best search areas: Northtown, Downtown, graveyard
The best way to get this key is by buying it from Jen Heard. Having said that, here’s everything you need to know about finding the Sewer Key in Schedule 1.
What is the Sewer Key in Schedule 1?
In Schedule 1, the Sewer Key is the only way to access the network of underground manholes and doors added to Hyland Point.
From the first time you boot up the game or load a new save, you’ll notice every sewer entrance is securely locked until you track down this vital item.
Fastest ways to get the Sewer Key
There are three ways of getting the Sewer Key in Schedule 1:
Buying the Sewer Key
The most straightforward way is to purchase the key from Jen Heard. This city clerk is located in Uptown, east of Hyland Medical. The key costs $1,000, thereby guaranteeing access instantly.
- What you must do is build a friendly relationship with Jen
- This unlocks after reaching Uptown and making progress in the main story
- Then pay $1,000 to Jen, and purchase the key from him
Pickpocketing from NPCs
Another option is to pickpocket the key from a select group of NPCs.
- Use boosting drugs that enhance the Sneaky attribute (you can combine Paracetamol with energy drinks or base drugs for the effect)
- Knock an NPC out
- They then become an easier target for pickpocket attempts
- Unlock and reach the warehouse
- Speak to Oscar as he provides hints about possible NPC holders
The pro to pickpocketing is that you can do it early, and it doesn’t require story progression. The downside to this method is that only one of them will randomly possess the key in your save file.
Sewer Key spawn locations
The Sewer Key may spawn randomly across 50 possible locations. The key emits a faint glow at night, which makes nighttime searching more efficient for sharp-eyed players.
Northtown, Downtown, and the graveyard are three areas with frequent spawn points. So, you must look out for those places to find the key. When it comes to the last two methods, acquiring the Sewer Key comes down to luck and persistence.
