Duck and Cover

After Years i installed Fallout 1 again and played until i reached the glow.
But for some reason I couldn't find the red key to get deeper.
I searched the net for it an figured out that a body on level 2 i supposed
to have it.
But unfortunaly there is no Body .

What could be the reason and how might the Problem be solved?

Look harder.

Oh, I did.
To check the exact location I reloaded an old safegame as well.
But it seems as if he didn't die there during my current game.

Those charred bodies are hard to see in the dark.

yeah, some of the bodies are near impossible to see down there unless you scroll over them but its definitly on that level so scan every inch. You'll find it.

use a fleshlight

...or change your monitor light level temporary to increase it.
