Dead by Daylight has consistently amazed fans by transforming legendary cinematic and gaming environments into chilling playgrounds for The Entity, with locations ranging from the eerie hallways of Silent Hill's Midwich Elementary School to the biohazard-infested corridors of Resident Evil's Raccoon City Police Department. These maps are treasure troves of subtle nods and clever easter eggs that honor their source material. The arrival of the ALIEN Chapter in 2026 continues this proud tradition, introducing players to the haunting, derelict remains of the USCSS Nostromo. This iconic, retro-futuristic towing vessel from the classic film is now a fully explorable map, packed with hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered by intrepid survivors. This guide will delve deep into two of the Nostromo Wreckage's most sought-after mysteries: locating the elusive ship's cat, Jonesy, and unlocking the secret door to the MU/TH/UR 6000 computer room.

😺 Hunting for Jones the Cat: A Nostromo Crew Reunion

Jones, the ill-tempered but beloved ginger cat of the Nostromo, is more than just a pet; he's a cinematic icon whose sudden appearances provided some of the original film's most memorable jump scares. In a brilliant homage, the developers at Behaviour Interactive have hidden this furry crew member within the map. Finding him is a delightful, if slightly nerve-wracking, easter egg for survivors.

Here's the step-by-step process to trigger the Jonesy encounter:

1. Play as a Survivor: This easter egg is exclusively for those trying to escape, not for the Killer.

2. Locate the Correct Lockers: Jones can only spawn in one of three specific lockers inside the main structure of the wrecked ship. These are:

   • The two lockers situated near the central lounge area.

   • The single locker further down the main corridor.

3. Enter Slowly: This is the most crucial step! You must slowly enter each locker by walking up to it and pressing the interact button. Fast-vaulting into a locker will completely disable the animation and prevent Jones from appearing.

4. The Reveal: After slowly entering the correct locker, Jones will dramatically leap out, recreating that classic scare from the movie. 🐈

⚠️ Important Note for 2026 Players: This event is designed for public matches. It cannot be triggered in Custom Games with fewer than four Survivors. So, to find the famous feline, you'll need to brave the public lobbies!

🔑 Unlocking the Secret: MU/TH/UR 6000 Awaits

The Nostromo Wreckage holds a deeper secret than a jump-scare cat. Much like the secret room in Midwich, a hidden chamber can be accessed, but the process is far more involved and rewarding. This leads to the heart of the ship: the MU/TH/UR 6000 navigation computer, ominously referred to as "Mother" by the crew.

Phase 1: Locate the Fallen Astronaut & Keycard

Your journey begins by finding the body of a deceased astronaut crew member. This isn't a fixed landmark; the body has four potential spawn locations that change every match:

Possible Spawn Location	Description
Main Building Entrance A	Beside one of the three entrances to the central ship structure.
Main Building Entrance B	Beside another of the three entrances.
Main Building Entrance C	Beside the final entrance.
Near Narcissus Shuttle	Close to the flaming debris and ruins of the escape shuttle on the opposite side of the map.

Once you've found the body, crouch on top of it to pick up a special Keycard. This is a unique, trial-bound item that cannot be dropped or lost.

Phase 2: Hack the Terminal & Enter the Code

With the Keycard in your possession, return to the main lounge area of the Nostromo. Look for a sealed door to the left, near an open window. Use the Keycard on this door to access a small room with a terminal.

Interact with the terminal to initiate a hacking mini-game. You will be prompted to input a directional code. The correct sequence, a nod to classic command inputs, is: ⬅️ LEFT, ⬇️ DOWN, ⬆️ UP, ➡️ RIGHT.

Phase 3: Claim Your Reward from Mother

Successfully inputting the code will open the door to the MU/TH/UR 6000 chamber. This is the very room where Ripley discovered the chilling truth about the Weyland-Yutani corporation's sinister priorities. Inside, survivors will find a chest containing a guaranteed Very Rare Flashlight. Unlike the Keycard, this high-quality item can be taken with you after the trial—if you manage to survive the Xenomorph's hunt, of course! This makes the effort well worth it for players looking to gear up.

🎮 Legacy of the Licenses & Final Thoughts

The ALIEN Chapter stands as a testament to Dead by Daylight's mastery in weaving licensed content into its core gameplay. The Nostromo Wreckage isn't just a backdrop; it's an interactive museum of horror cinema. From the atmospheric hum of the ship's systems to these meticulously hidden easter eggs, every detail enhances the immersive terror. Whether you're a veteran survivor dodging the perfect organism or a new player just learning the ropes, taking the time to explore these secrets adds a rich layer of narrative and fan service to your matches. So, gear up, move quietly, and see if you can outsmart both the Killer and the secrets of the Nostromo. Just remember... in space, no one can hear you find a Very Rare Flashlight. 👾
