Payday 3's final heist will send players on an infiltration mission to an executive penthouse in Touch the Sky. Players will be forced to mask up immediately as they enter the mission area, so strategy and preparation are key to making it through the heist and securing all possible loot.
Two critical tools players will want to acquire to easily complete this heist are the red and blue keycards scattered throughout the penthouse; here's how to find them quickly and get one step closer to completing Touch the Sky in Payday 3.

Blue Keycard Location
The blue keycard will need to be grabbed off the belt of one of the patrolling security guards. Typically, one of the guards patrolling the second-floor area will have one, but occasionally, players will need to be more creative and lure guards from the downstairs area into an area where they can be quietly incapacitated or taken hostage.
Once the blue keycard is acquired, players will want to check in two places for the security room (the room may be found upstairs next to the elevator). If walking up the main stairs, turn right and head to the end of the walkway; the keypad should be visible from the top of the stairs. There is one security camera that supervises this area, so players should be sure to hack, evade, or destroy it.
If the blue keypad is not found upstairs, then players will want to head to the lower floor of the penthouse and search the hallway near the balcony (the security room should be located in one of the two rooms down this hall). There are several security guards that patrol this area, but players can sneak and use the plants to hide from cameras to successfully reach this area without taking hostages or masking up.
Once inside the security room, players should take out the guard to shut down the security cameras throughout the penthouse.
Red Keycard Location
The red keycard will be found in the penthouse filing office. Players will need to initiate the hack on the security chief's phone and acquire the QR code in order to unlock the door and gain access to the office. Sneak behind the security chief or take him hostage to access and hack his phone.
With the hack completed, players should search for the QR scanner in the same two locations where they searched for the security room and blue keypad. The filing office will spawn in any of the same possible locations as the security room, and with each heist attempt, one of the rooms will be upstairs, and the other will be in the downstairs hallway. Inside the office, players should search the many filing cabinets to find the red keycard, which will grant access to the main office upstairs where the vault is located.
