Dragon Dogs - Keycard during stealth?

[Ronrussel]

Heyho,
Where is the keycard to open the safes? I managed (dragon dogs) to succesfully sneak in, take out all guards and open the door. Then I'm told to enter the vaults / safes. There is a keycard reader and "Gloves" tells me to find the Captain OR blow it up with C4.

C4 triggers an alarm but I can't find the "captain" nor his card. All guards are replaced with Swat/Spec Ops because in an earlier mission I was spotted and they told the "the bank is preparing" or so .. is that the cause?

Look for a guard in black suit. He always carries this card.

You pretty much have to subdue everyone anyway, so just subdue away until one of them drops the card. IDK what the captain looks like in your case.

Likely the cause, happened to me too during Silver's snooping mission because an unlocked shipping crate has the same alert value as an opened loot container in any other mission so it went loud as I was on my way to the escape van. Combed through the entire bank map with the scanner ball too just in case there was a spare keycard lying around but nope, seems to be the penalty for messing up stealth is to force the Dragon Dogs mission to go loud earlier than convenient.
Furthermore, they've hidden extra security inside one or more of the vaults.

I can attest that this is not true, as I did Silvers snooping mission in full stealth. At the moment of typing this I am currently in the Dragon Dogs heist and subdued all guards and civis. I have not found the guard captain, nor a key card where I subdued anyone.

There may be a 50/50 chance you will get a keycard?

It's in:
A) guard captain if present;
B) offices (never director's office);
C) control room.

Unlikely. I have now repeated the mission several times and *always* had the keycard if no alarm previously was triggered. If the "guards" on site are those black cothed SWATS. -> No Keycard. If they are regular "cops", one of them has the keycard. Maybe a bot subdued him or you knocked him on a stair etc. down, where the item dropped "under" him so you can't see it. I sometimes had it that I moved a NPC out of the way so he gets not spoted but forgot/didn't saw the keycard under him laying there.

Off-topic, the heist can't be done stealth even with the keycard. Once you have the dogs and call in the helicopter, police is alarmed.
