Exact location of RB-PKPTS room and explanation of optimal route (Reserve underground edition)

The reserve basement is complex, but the RB-PKPTS room is located in the hallway near the D2 extraction switch and main power room. There are two main access routes. Use them depending on the situation.

Route 1: Via White Queen (recommended/low risk)

1. Enter the White Queen area between the Black Knight helipad and White Bishop.
2. Open the huge metal door at the back and go down the zigzag stairs to the underground bunker.
3. Go through the large bunker door and go straight down the first left hallway.
4. The last left door is the RB-PKPTS room. It takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

The biggest advantage of this route is that access from the ground is quick and the chance of encountering raiders is low.

Route 2: Via D2 (more raiders/high rewards)

1. Activate the D2 extraction switch (near the marked room).
2. Descend into the underground tunnel and head for the hallway next to the main power room.
3. Go down the left stairs and head to the left door at the end of the hallway.
