Executive Admin Card missing in game

[RathSkeller]

I have searched the executive dining room over and over and over and have not found the Admin card. There is a body laying on the floor in the spot shown on the walkthroughs but no card. I've used the sensearound, nothing. I've tried moving chairs thinking maybe the card is hidden under an object, nothing. The game is basically un-playable at this point. Is there any way to possibly drop a copy of that card into the game?

Could it be that you're playing on difficulty setting 1 and there is no (need to pick up) that specific card? The first time I played SS remake it was on easiest settings but I can't remember was that card there or not. Anyway there is some details left out when playing level 1 mission.

I'm playing on the normal difficulty setting. Also if I try to open the locked Admin door it does say the Admin card is required. I'm very disappointed because I cannot go any further in the game unless I can get that door open.... bummer. I sure don't want to start a new game all over again, not worth it to me and not knowing if I'll run into the same problem is enough to keep me from even wanting to try.

If you want to spawn the card you'll have to enable the console:

Look in the garbage chute on R level, it probably fell through the floor and stuff that falls out of bounds gets stocked there

Thanks for both suggestions, both are good ones, but alas... before reading these good suggestions I found a save game right before getting to the room and was able to get the key card that way. I honestly think when I threw a couple frag grenades into that room at that exact spot where the card was supposed to be that it blew that card out of bounds somewhere so the chute tip might have worked if I had known. Thanks again!!

I'm glad everything sorted itself out. Have fun.

Has the garbage chute done anything for anyone? All I ever see are posts where people leave important items or weapons in the elevators and they can't find them anywhere, not even in the chute.

I tend to use a lot of frags which tend to glitch enemy loot out of bounds so I visit it every now and then. When it comes to elevators I think the items dont go out of bounds, instead they get kinda glitched in a specific way, I once got killed by the mutants when on level 2 elevator so I had to go there again, and the elevator was empty when I was in Medical, once I arrived on research, suddenly three mutants spawned inside it (those that killed me). So it seems the items are "there", you just need to arrive the same way you did when you dropped them or something
