The Long Dark: Episode 4 – Sidequest: Blackrock Lockers (Guard Lockers) Walkthrough & Guide.
The Long Dark: Blackrock Lockers Walkthrough
This sidequest is officially unlocked when you pick up any of the keys to the lockers found in the guard quarters. As a reminder, this is the building that you first enter when trying to get into the infirmary.
Each of these lockers as various goodies in them, which will be detailed below. And competing all of them will get you a Steam achievements.
Locker Key #2
This key can be found on a dead guard just outside the prison’s perimeter gate. When you leave via the side-entrance (where the wolf is chowing on the dead deer), just keep going straight. You’ll essentially be hugging the wall on your right. Eventually you’ll come across a small clearing with a dead body. Search it for the key.
Opening this locker will net you some rifle ammunition, combat pants, and a military parka. These are great clothing items, especially at the beginning when you don’t have much defense against the wildlife.
Locker Key #3
This key can be found in the abandoned staff housing area outside the prison complex. You can reach it by following the road out of the prison and going right at the fork. The entrance to the hamlet will be on your left.
As in the above picture, you want to aim for the building farther back. The key is in the circled truck’s glove compartment.
Head back to the guard quarters and unlock the locker to get a hunting knife, emergency stim, and more rife ammunition. You’ll also get a Blackrock archive report, which is necessary to complete the sidequest Darkstar.
Locker Key #8
You can only get this key after reaching Chapter 2: The Power Plant. It can be found in the steam maintenance tunnels, after you finish breaking the locking mechanism (see that section for more details). At the bottom of the stairwell that leads back to the prison, there is a metal box. Search it to find the locker key.
This locker has a revolver and some ammunition.
