As you explore Wyndham Village in Atomfall, you may come across either the Protocol Documents Chest or the Protocol Documents Chest Key, which leads you to being curious about where the other is. Read on to find out the locations of where to find both the Protocol Documents Chest and the Protocol Documents Chest Key, as well as what you will get from opening it.
One place to find the Protocol Documents Chest Key is atop the Protocol Outpost in Wyndham Village.

How to Find the Protocol Documents Chest Key¶
There are two places you can find the Key. One is on Captain Sims, who can be found in the Village Hall in Wyndham, and the other is in the Protocol Camp, also in Wyndham. This makes obtaining the Key from either of the options difficult.
Out of the two methods, the easiest one is to kill Captain Sims, but this will get the entirety of Protocol after you, as well as ending a Lead. The other method is difficult as it means traversing through a small outpost with a lot of guards who will shoot on sight, so getting this is tricky.
Method 1 - Kill Captain Sims¶
You can find Captain Sims in the Village Hall in Wyndham Village, which is located in the southern center of the map at these coordinates: 33.4E , 79.3N. Enter the Village Hall and walk straight ahead to find Captain Sims.
There’s no easy way of killing Captain Sims unseen as there are other guards in the same room, so simply pull out your weapon of choice and kill him. When he’s dealt with, quickly loot his corpse for the Key.

Method 2 - Protocol Outpost¶
The second place to find the Key is at the top of the Protocol Outpost, located in the northeast of the map at these coordinates: 34.9E, 80.8N. There are a few ways into this camp, but we found that the easiest way is through a small building with red doors. It’s on Bridge Street, opposite the Beach area, at these coordinates: 34.6E, 81.6N.
At first it looks like it’s blocked, but you can climb over the obstructions into the building, where you’ll find a B.A.R.D Crate as well as a crawlspace leading into the Outpost. Note that we recommend you make a save before going through the crawl space, as it’s difficult to reach without being seen.
Interact with the crawlspace, but don’t go out completely. Instead, look at your surroundings, and you should see a couple of ladders on the scaffolding leading up to the roof of the building in front. That is where the Key can be found, but you’ll need to get there without being seen.
Watch the patrols for a bit, and you’ll notice that one guard will go up and down from the roof. You’ll want to wait until he’s come down and walked in the opposite direction from you.

Get out of the crawlspace and hide behind the skip to your left. Now, take a quick peek to your left and another guard likes to patrol there. Wait for him to walk away from you, and then sneak to the ladders and climb to the top.
You can be seen up here from the surrounding guards, but if you stay crouched and act quickly, you can get the Key without them shooting at you. At the top of the ladders is a green crate, and inside the crate, you’ll find the Protocol Documents Chest Key and the “Badger Patrol” note.
Quickly take the loot and drop onto the sloped roof to your right, go to the left front corner (make sure you have more than half of your health), and drop to the area below before running out of the white gate into the stream, as you’re not trespassing here. All that’s left to do is find the Chest.

How to Find the Protocol Documents Chest¶
The chest can be found inside the Village Hall, where you will also find Captain Sims. Fortunately, it’s out of sight, so you won’t alert anyone. Enter the Village Hall and walk forward to where you can see Sims. Now, hug the left wall and turn right at the end to find the Protocol Documents Chest as well as a couple more Chests, including June’s Lockbox (another Lead).

If you have the Key, simply open the Chest to get the loot. The loot can be somewhat random, but we got a “Peerless” SMG, and two notes, “One Spike in the Concrete” and “ Sims’ Personal Diary“, both of which are part of the Protocol Lead.
That’s it for the Protocol Documents Chest and Key. Why not check out some of our other Key Location Guides below?
