Dead by Daylightis no stranger to bringing iconic film and video game locales into the realm of The Entity, fromResident Evil’s Raccoon City Police Department toSilent Hill’s Midwich Elementary School. Scattered among the desolate ruins of these maps are a great number of references and easter eggs that pay homage to their respective properties, like the haunted bathrooms of the Elementary School and the soothing sound of saferoom music in the Police Station.Dead by Daylight’s latest licensed Chapter is no exception to this.
With the release ofDead by Daylight’sALIENChaptercomes the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo; the rugged, retro-futurist towing vessel that serves as the firstALIENfilm’s setting. On the barren planet, players can find multiple references to the original film – some more hidden than others. This guide will show playershow to find the hidden keycard to open the secret door, as well ashow to find Jones the catin the Nostromo Wreckage inDead by Daylight.

How to Find Jones the Cat
A faithful, if ill-tempered, pet,Jones the catis an iconic member of the Nostromo crew. Once the titular Alien makes its appearance on the ship, Jones becomes a source of a few scares as the crew mistakes the cranky cat for the creature when he jumps out of a locker. Dead by Daylight makes direct reference to this by hiding Jonesy away in a locker of his own on the Nostromo Wreckage.
To find the elusive cat, while playing Survivor, slowlyenter three lockersin the main building aboard what’s left of the ship –fast vaulting into them will disable his animation. The three lockers that Jones can appear in are the two near the main lounge area, and the other one further down the corridor.
After slowly entering them,Jones will jump out of one of them. It’s worth noting, however, that this event cannot be triggered in a custom game with less than four Survivors, so finding him in public matches is the only option.
How to Open the Secret Door
Similar toSilent Hill’s Midwich Elementary School, the Nostromo Wreckage has a secret door that players can open. Unlike Midwich, however, the secrets of the Nostromo aren’t revealed in the Endgame Collapse and require some more involved easter egg hunting.
As a Survivor, players can come across the body of an astronaut nearthe Nostromo Wreckage. Thisbody changes location with each match, and there are four possible spawn locations for this astronaut. Their body can appear beside all three entrances to the main building, as well as beside the flaming debris on the opposite side of the map, somewhat near the ruins of the Narcissus escape shuttle.
Once players have located the body,crouch atop it and pick up the Keycard– this is a special item that cannot be removed from the trial. With the keycard in hand, take it to the main lounge of the Nostromo and find the door off to the left, near the open window.
Interact with the terminal inside to hack it and use the directional buttons to enter the code:Left, Down, Up, Right. This will open the door to MU/TH/UR 6000 – called “Mother” by the crew – the Nostromo’s navigational computer and a notable location from the first film. It’s here where Ripley learns of betrayal among the crew and of the cold-hearted calculations ofthe Weyland-Yutani corporationthat sought to ensure The Xenomorph’s survival, at any cost. Inside, players can find a chest witha guaranteed Very Rare Flashlightthat they can take out of the trial, should they survive.
Dead by Daylightis currently available for Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
