All Verdansk Bunker Codes & Locations (May 2025): Unlock Specialist Perks & Legendary Loot

Verdansk bunkers are the ultimate power position this season. After running hundreds of drops since the map’s return, I can confirm these underground stashes are absolutely broken right now. We’re talking insta-Specialist, guaranteed legendary blueprints, and enough cash to run Advanced UAVs all game.

But here’s the problem – 90% of players are still running outdated codes from old YouTube videos. This guide packs every working bunker code, keycard location, and secret entrance for Season 3 Reloaded, verified personally as of May 18, 2025.

All Verdansk Bunker Locations & Access Methods

Keypad Bunkers: Direct Access Goldmines

These four bunkers just need the right code. No RNG, no keycard hunting, just punch in the digits and cash out.

Bunker 1: Airport Southwest (04222021)

Location: Edge of Boneyard near Airport southwestern corner
Traffic Level: 6/10
Rotation Value: 8/10 (excellent central positioning)

This bunker sits right where Airport meets Boneyard. The code references the OG Verdansk destruction event date (April 22, 2021). Solid throwback for the veterans.

Approaching this bunker is sketchy – the entrance faces an open hillside with minimal cover, making you easy pickings for Airport roof campers. That said, it’s worth the risk for what’s inside:

Typical Loot:

• 3-4 weapon crates (at least one legendary)
• 2-3 supply boxes
• $7,000-10,000 cash
• High chance of Self-Revive kits

Pro tip: Hit this spot right after first circle starts closing when the initial Airport warriors have either died or rotated out.

Bunker 3: Northern Junkyard (30198805)

Location: Northern end of Junkyard, west side of Boneyard
Traffic Level: 3/10 (criminally underrated)
Rotation Value: 7/10

This is the definition of a sleeper spot. While every sweat in the lobby drops Boneyard proper, this bunker chills at the northern Junkyard edge completely ignored.

The entrance blends perfectly with the terrain – it’s tucked behind vegetation on a slight hill, making it easy to miss if you don’t know exactly where to look. That’s exactly why it’s consistently uncontested even in Diamond/Master lobbies.

Typical Loot:

• Consistent UAV spawns
• Self-Revive kits
• $5,000-8,000 cash
• Blue plates instead of standard

PCGamesN verified this code still works without changes since Verdansk’s return, unlike some other bunkers that got new codes.

Bunker 9: Prison Northeast (97264138)

Location: Rocky plateau northeast of Prison
Traffic Level: 7/10 (high risk area)
Rotation Value: 5/10

This bunker sits exposed on a rock plateau with almost zero natural cover, making it a sniper’s dream. Prison tower rats have clear sightlines on the entrance, so smoking your approach or using vehicles for cover is basically required.

What makes this bunker especially interesting is its access method changed completely in May 2025. Previously required a Red Keycard, but now uses a keypad code instead. Sportskeeda and PCGamesN both confirmed this change on May 17th, which explains why many squads still waste time hunting for keycards here.

Typical Loot:

• High chance of Advanced UAV
• Multiple legendary weapon crates
• $8,000-12,000 cash
• Specialist perk (30% spawn rate)

Best advice: Wait until the initial Prison bloodbath ends before attempting. The mid-game lull between first and second circle is your window.

Bunker 10: Park South (31547206)

Location: Coastal road in Hills area, east of War Memorial
Traffic Level: 6/10
Rotation Value: 8/10

This bunker provides stellar rotation options. Hit it early, grab your gear, then choose between Stadium push, Downtown edge play, or Park control depending on circle.

The entrance faces the coastal road with hills on one side, giving you decent cover from one angle but making you exposed from the coastal approach. War Memorial attracts contract hunters early game, making this a riskier initial drop but quieter mid-match.

Typical Loot:

• Standard high-tier crates
• Frequent stopping power rounds
• $6,000-9,000 cash
• Gas masks (higher spawn rate than other bunkers)

Dot Esports verified this code consistently works as of May 17, marking it as one of the most reliable access points in current Verdansk.

Bunker 0: The Mystery Spot

Location: Northeast of Array, near cliffside

Access Method: Currently unknown/disputed

This remains Verdansk’s biggest enigma. Located northeast of Array near a cliff edge, absolutely nobody has confirmed how to access it yet. Both casual and professional players have tried everything:

Current Theories:

• Requires Red Keycard with additional trigger action (shooting specific targets)
• Uses a code that changes each match (like the original Stadium puzzle)
• Needs simultaneous activation from multiple bunkers
• Requires specific in-game actions/challenges completed first
• Connected to story progression and will unlock later in the season

GameRant published an article on May 15th specifically about player attempts to crack Bunker 0, documenting dozens of failed methods. The developers clearly want this one to remain a mystery for now.

Keycard Bunkers: RNG-Based Powerhouses

Seven bunkers require finding keycards as random loot. These cards disappear after a single use, so choose your bunker wisely.

Red Keycard Bunkers: S-Tier Loot

Red keycards open the most valuable bunkers in the game, period:

Locations:

• Bunker 4: Mountainside above Dam
• Bunker 5: Mountains south of Military Base
• Bunker 6: Above Rail Tunnel (east Quarry/Lumber)

What Makes These Worth It:

• Specialist Bonus (guaranteed in at least one of the three)
• Multiple legendary weapon crates
• $12,000-15,000 cash
• High-tier killstreaks including Advanced UAVs
• Durable Gas Masks (80% spawn rate)

Bunker 6 deserves special mention – while everyone fights over 4 and 5 like their lives depend on it, this spot sees maybe half the traffic. The Lumber location scares off lazy players, but the loot pool is identical to the other Red Card bunkers.

Blue Keycard Bunkers: A-Tier Value

Blue keycards are more common and provide reliable mid-tier power spikes:

Locations:

• Bunker 2: Western foothills near Storage Town
• Bunker 7: Hillside west of Karst River
• Bunker 8: Same ridge as Bunker 7, opposite side

Standard Loot:

• Guaranteed UAVs
• Armor satchels
• $5,000-8,000 cash
• Precision/Cluster Strikes
• Occasional blueprints

The major discovery this season: According to Sportskeeda’s May 16th report, players have found “Nuke Schematics” inside Bunker 2. This appears to be part of the evolving storyline explaining how Verdansk returned after supposedly being destroyed.

Best Keycard Hunting Spots

After grinding hundreds of drops, here’s the truth about keycard spawn rates:

• Military Base: 20% chance in hangars and admin buildings
• Prison: 15% chance in main building and guard towers
• TV Station: 12% chance in broadcast room and offices
• Supply Drops: 25% chance, especially from SAM turret shootdowns

Red keycards spawn at roughly half the rate of blue ones, so plan accordingly. Your best strategy is landing Military, then moving to Prison if needed – this path maximizes chances of finding at least one keycard.

New Underground Complexes: The Hidden Meta

Season 4 Reloaded quietly added two completely new underground areas that 90% of players still haven’t discovered. These spots don’t require codes or cards, making them consistent value plays.

Factory Underground Complex

Location: Beneath Rail Yard warehouses

How to Access: Look for new metal doors with yellow hazard stripes in the basement level of the main warehouse structures. The primary entrance is in the large central warehouse – take the stairs down, then look for a newly installed doorway with a blinking green light panel.

Access Method: Approach the panel and hold interact. No code or keycard needed, but the door takes about 3 seconds to open – longer than standard doors, so cover is important.

Loot Quality: Comparable to keypad bunkers, with:

• 4-5 supply crates
• 2 legendary weapon crates
• $5,000-8,000 cash
• Armor satchels and gas masks

Airport Hangars Underground

Location: Beneath the main Airport Hangars How to Find It: Enter the large hangars on the western side of the Airport (the ones with planes inside). Look for a new maintenance hatch in the floor near the back wall of Hangar 3 – it has a yellow ladder leading down.

Access Method: Simply climb down the ladder. The hatch is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, especially with the general chaos of Airport drops.

Loot Quality: Not quite bunker level, but extremely consistent:

• 3-4 supply crates
• 1 legendary weapon crate
• $4,000-7,000 cash
• Always spawns ammo boxes and armor plates

The Detonated gaming site published a full walkthrough of these new underground areas on May 16th, complete with access point screenshots.

Secret Shack Codes: Low-Profile Value Plays

While everyone obsesses over bunkers, these three hidden shacks provide quality loot with minimal risk:

Each guarantees at least one Legendary Supply Crate plus standard boxes. Perfect for solo players or duos who want quality gear without the full-scale bunker wars.

The codes here haven’t changed since Verdansk’s return, unlike some bunkers. PCGamesN verified all three still work as of May 17, 2025.

The Legendary Bunker 11 Easter Egg

Bunker 11 separates the casual players from the dedicated grinders. This multi-step Easter Egg takes serious coordination but rewards with top-tier loot.

Step 1: Find The Activation Phone

Interactive phones are scattered across Verdansk. Each match, only one random phone plays a jingle followed by a Russian message containing three numbers.

Best places to start checking:

• Downtown bank building
• Police stations across the map
• TV Station main office
• Airport terminal

Pro tip: Enable subtitles if you don’t speak Russian.

Step 2: Translate The Russian Numbers

When you find the correct phone, you’ll hear three numbers in Russian. Here’s your translation guide:

Step 3: Activate Numbered Phones

Next, visit three specific phones in EXACT order based on your Russian message. Each number corresponds to a phone location:

Phone 0: Military Base shipping container
Phone 1: Downtown bank
Phone 2: Buildings between TV Station & Military Base
Phone 3: Quarry brick building (north end)
Phone 4: Police station north of Lumber
Phone 5: TV Station
Phone 6: Airport control tower
Phone 7: Airport terminal
Phone 8: Downtown Hospital
Phone 9: Dam building

Vehicle is absolutely essential here – helicopter ideal, SUV acceptable, anything else painfully slow.

Step 4: Enter The Bunker

With all phones properly activated, head to Bunker 11 (northwest cliff edge by Military Base). A green light should illuminate above the door, and the keypad becomes interactive.

The Reward:

• Specialist Bonus (guaranteed spawn)
• Multiple legendary crates
• Two C9 SMGs with unique blueprints
• Red button revealing the Verdansk nuke being rebuilt

That last part connects directly to the season’s storyline. GameRant confirmed in their May 17th article that the nuke rebuild scene explains how Verdansk has returned after its supposed destruction.

Tactical Approaches By Playstyle

Different squads need different bunker strategies. Here’s how to optimize based on your playstyle:

Aggressive Players

• Target Military Base for Red Keycard hunting
• Push straight to Bunkers 4 or 5 when cards are found
• Prioritize Specialist perk for maximum frag potential
• Use bunker cash for quick loadouts and UAV stacks

Tactical Teams

• Keypad Bunkers 3 and 10 offer reliable, lower-risk plays
• Time approaches after initial drop chaos (2-3 minutes in)
• Use bunker cash for loadouts and positioned UAVs
• Prioritize rotation paths over raw loot value

Solo Warriors

• Blue Keycard bunkers have best risk/reward for solos
• Secret shacks offer quality loot with minimal exposure
• Consider Factory Underground for consistent solo value
• Always secure a vehicle before bunker hunting solo
