Riverside walkthrough
Riverside is the only approach to the sheriff’s office. The notes count 18 rooms, 48 map areas, and 39 containers.
Evidence and limits
Checked 14 October 2026. NPC Tips' Riverside records are build 25806663, checked 8 October; traversal, power and radio steps are player reports. The source lists two keys plus a Flashlight, not three keys. This tunnel is distinct from the opening Outskirts ambush; no first-hand gameplay claimed.
Bridge, Gate Key and Flashlight
Bring the Riverside Bridge Key from the Downtown cable station.
- Open the Market Street gate, cross into Riverside, and collect the map from the board above the entrance payphone stairs.
- Take Dana's Repair Shop Gate Key and use it on the junkyard rear exit.
- Inspect the police-car radio behind the sheriff station for its frequency and red mode buttons.
- Switch on power in Wing Oil's rear yard. Take the Bathroom Key inside the gas station.
- Continue through the office to the workshop for the Flashlight. Guides report an enemy event when it is collected.
- Use the Bathroom Key on the restroom and the reported Boxcutter fabric access for its Hip Bag.
Truck radio to sheriff front door
The Flashlight uses batteries in the source item text. The code itself is fixed in the 25806663 puzzle table; receiving it by radio is reported.
- Enter Riverside's dark truck-radio tunnel with the Flashlight.
- Set 86.6 and match the two mode buttons illuminated red on the police-car radio.
- Use the microphone for the deputy's reported reply: 1715.
- Return to the sheriff station and open its front keypad.
Collection and return checks
Dana's back room has the coffee machine and Hula Figurine; early access to the figurine is unresolved in the source. Riverside has two reported Shard routes, at the radio tunnel and riverbank.
The Warehouse's diamond crank socket is a later-return clue, but its exact function is not established in the inspected source. No reward is invented for it.
