The key in Desert Bus / A Dusty Trip is usually gotten by completing the school bus quest: collect 3 key fragments , return them to the NPC in the lobby so they’re crafted into a key, then use that key at the gate around 4,300 meters in the desert.

How it works

  • Find the quest NPC in the lobby and start the quest.
  • Search buildings and structures for three key fragments ; they spawn in random spots such as garages and truck stops.
  • Put each fragment into your backpack, then go back to the lobby and hand them in.
  • The NPC crafts the Rusty Key , which you then use to open the desert gate.

Small tip

You may need empty backpack slots for the fragments, so make sure you have space before collecting them.

TL;DR

Get 3 key fragments, turn them in at the lobby NPC, receive the key, and use it at the desert gate to unlock the bus.
