PUBG Vikendi Security Room & Lab Guide -- All Key Locations (2026)

Vikendi is PUBG's stunning 6x6 km snow-covered battleground, set in a frozen northern European landscape that offers a tactical experience unlike any other map in the game. The map features a diverse range of landmarks including the medieval Castle perched on a hilltop, the whimsical Dino Park theme park, the sprawling Cement Factory industrial complex, the imposing Cosmodrome rocket launch facility, the urban center of Dobro Mesto, and vast frozen lakes that create dangerous open-ground crossings. Vikendi stands out with its unique snow footprint tracking system -- every player leaves visible footprints in the snow as they move, allowing observant players to track enemy rotations and predict ambush positions. The Snowmobile is Vikendi's signature vehicle, providing fast and agile transportation across icy terrain. But the map's most coveted feature is its network of Security Labs -- fortified rooms hidden throughout the landscape that contain military-grade experimental weapons and equipment. These labs use a dual-access system requiring either Crowbars for mechanical locks or Security Keycards for electronic doors, making Vikendi's secret room system one of the most complex and rewarding in PUBG.

What Are Vikendi Security Labs?

Vikendi's Security Labs are fortified rooms scattered across the map that contain high-tier military equipment and crate-exclusive weapons. What makes them unique is the dual-access system. Some labs are sealed behind heavy mechanical doors that can only be forced open with a Crowbar -- these tend to be smaller storage rooms and supply caches found in industrial areas. Other labs feature electronic security doors that require a Security Keycard to activate -- these are typically larger facilities with more valuable loot inside, often found near major landmarks. The two lab types serve different strategic purposes: Crowbar labs are more accessible and scattered widely, making them good targets for early-game gearing, while Keycard labs are rarer and more contested but offer significantly better rewards. Inside each lab, you will find a curated selection of weapons, armor, and supplies that would normally only be available through airdrops, giving you a massive advantage over players relying on standard ground loot.

How to Find Crowbars & Security Keycards

Crowbars are the more common of the two access items on Vikendi and spawn primarily in industrial and utilitarian environments. Check warehouses, garage buildings, mechanic shops, and factory floors throughout the map. The Cement Factory area is particularly rich in Crowbar spawns due to its industrial nature, and the smaller workshops scattered along Vikendi's roads are also reliable sources. Crowbars appear as recognizable tool items on the ground and are relatively easy to spot against indoor flooring. Security Keycards are significantly rarer and spawn in more prestigious locations. The Castle compound is one of the best places to find Keycards, with multiple spawn points inside its towers and chambers. Dino Park's ticket booths and administrative buildings also have Keycard spawns, as do the office areas within the Cement Factory and the control rooms at the Cosmodrome. Keycards appear as small card-shaped items with a distinct electronic appearance. Because of their rarity, finding a Keycard should immediately change your rotation plan -- check our interactive map above to locate the nearest Keycard-accessible lab and head there before another player does. A practical search strategy is to land at Castle or Cosmodrome, sweep the compound for a Keycard, and then rotate to the nearest electronic lab while looting Crowbar-accessible rooms along the way.

All Security Lab Locations on Vikendi

Vikendi's Security Labs are spread across the entire map, from the northern mountain regions to the southern coastal areas. They can be found in two primary configurations: above-ground facilities that are built into existing structures like warehouses, factories, and research buildings, and underground bunkers accessible through hatches or stairwells hidden near landmarks. Above-ground labs are generally easier to locate because they are integrated into recognizable buildings, but they also expose you to more risk since enemies can hear you breaking in and may be waiting outside. Underground bunkers offer more protection during the looting process but can become death traps if an enemy discovers the single entrance while you are inside. Labs requiring a Crowbar are more evenly distributed across the map, often found in smaller towns and industrial zones. Keycard labs are concentrated near major points of interest, particularly around Castle, Cosmodrome, and the central Dobro Mesto area. Our interactive map above marks every confirmed lab location with icons indicating whether each requires a Crowbar or a Security Keycard, so you can plan your route efficiently based on which access item you have found.

Loot Table: Vikendi Lab Contents

Vikendi's Security Labs are stocked with premium military equipment that rivals airdrop loot. Here is the complete breakdown of what you can find inside:

• Level 3 Helmet (Spetsnaz Helmet) and Level 3 Military Vest -- maximum ballistic protection
• AWM Sniper Rifle with .300 Magnum rounds -- one-shot headshot capability against Level 2 helmets
• Mk14 EBR -- powerful DMR with full-auto toggle for close-range versatility
• Groza Assault Rifle -- devastating 7.62mm crate weapon with extreme fire rate
• G36C -- Vikendi-favored 5.56mm assault rifle with built-in scope rail
• White Ghillie Suit -- snow-specific camouflage that makes you nearly invisible in Vikendi's terrain
• 8x Scope -- essential optic for long-range sniper engagements across frozen lakes
• Extended Quickdraw Magazines (AR and SR) -- faster reloads with increased ammo capacity
• Suppressors for AR, SR, DMR, and SMG -- critical for staying hidden in Vikendi's open snow fields
• Adrenaline Syringes -- full boost bar for speed and passive healing
• MedKits and First Aid Kits -- complete healing supplies for extended engagements

Tactical Tips for Vikendi Labs

1. Snow footprints reveal enemies: Vikendi's footprint tracking system is your best friend when approaching a Security Lab. Before entering any lab, circle the building and check for fresh footprints in the snow. If you see tracks leading to the lab entrance but none leading away, someone may still be inside looting -- or waiting to ambush you. Use this information to decide whether to push aggressively or set up an ambush of your own outside.
2. Use Snowmobiles for fast rotation: The Snowmobile is the fastest and most agile vehicle on Vikendi, and it is perfect for executing rapid lab-to-lab rotations. After looting one Security Lab, hop on a Snowmobile and race to the next one before other players can reach it. The speed advantage is especially valuable in the mid-game when the circle is closing and most players are focused on positioning rather than lab hunting.
3. Castle labs are high-risk, high-reward: The Castle compound contains some of the best Keycard labs on Vikendi, but it is also one of the most contested drop locations on the map. If you choose to land at Castle, expect immediate combat with multiple squads. The reward is access to premium lab loot and a strong defensive position on high ground, but the risk of early elimination is significant. Consider landing nearby and rotating to Castle after the initial fighting subsides.
4. Bring a close-range weapon for lab entry: Security Labs are confined spaces with tight corridors and limited sightlines. Always have a shotgun, SMG, or assault rifle ready when entering a lab, even if your primary loadout favors long-range combat. An enemy hiding inside a lab with a shotgun will destroy you if you walk in holding a bolt-action sniper rifle. Clear corners methodically and listen for audio cues before committing to entering.
5. White Ghillie Suit is Vikendi-exclusive: The White Ghillie Suit found in Vikendi labs is uniquely designed for snow camouflage and is not available on any other PUBG map. If you find one, equip it immediately -- it provides extraordinary concealment when you are prone or crouched in snow-covered terrain. Combined with a suppressed weapon, the White Ghillie Suit makes you virtually undetectable in Vikendi's vast open fields and frozen lakeshores.

Vikendi vs Other PUBG Maps

Vikendi's dual-access Security Lab system is one of the most sophisticated secret room mechanics in PUBG. Compared to Erangel's underground bunkers, which use a single key system, Vikendi adds strategic depth by requiring players to find specific access items for specific lab types. Taego's Error Spaces are visually dramatic but mechanically simpler -- you just walk in with a key. Deston's secret rooms are integrated into its vertical urban environment, requiring elevator access and building navigation. Rondo's hidden loot is woven into its compact map design, rewarding map knowledge over item collection. And Paramo's hidden stone doors blend into the volcanic terrain, offering a completely different aesthetic and gameplay feel. Vikendi's combination of snow tracking, vehicle mobility, and the Crowbar/Keycard system creates a uniquely layered experience that rewards preparation and adaptability.
