Doors: How to Get the REDACTED Badge (Archives Update)

REDACTED is one of the secret unlocks added to Doors with the Archives update, and it is the only badge tied to Hijack, a red glitch entity that does not appear anywhere else in a normal run. Its in-game description, “Watch, and create a new entity,” is the whole instruction. You find a disc, you play it, and something new shows up to attack you.

Quick answer: Reach S-50 in the Archives, take CD – 1 from the ransomware laptop, carry it to the Stairwell, slot it into the media player under a TV, and let Hijack hit you when it spawns.

REDACTED badge requirements in Doors

There is no item you need to buy beforehand and no modifier setup. Everything happens inside a single run, but you have to actually play Sector S rather than skipping ahead, since the disc only exists in the sub-room past Door 50.

Detail	What applies
Badge name	REDACTED
In-game description	Watch, and create a new entity.
Where it starts	Sector S, at S-50 in the Archives
Item needed	CD – 1, taken from the laptop
Where it ends	The Stairwell side of the S-50 sub-room
Entity involved	Hijack, a red glitch entity
Unlock trigger	Hijack attacking you after the TV glitches

Note: the sub-room past S-50 splits into two signposted paths, Archival Storage and Stairwell. The Archival Storage side is where the Who Am I? cutscene lives. For REDACTED, you want the Stairwell side, so keep that in mind if you are trying to grab both in one run.

How to get CD – 1 from the laptop at S-50

Play the Archives through Sector S and keep going until you hit S-50. Do not pay gold to skip sections of Sector S, because the disc room sits at the end of it.

At S-50, look for the hallway branching off the main path, roughly where a closet would normally sit. That corridor leads into the sub-room with the two directional signs.

Find the desk with the laptop on it. The screen is showing a ransomware message that reads “YOUR FILES HAVE BEEN ENCRYPTED” and “ONCE THE TIMER ENDS, YOUR FILES WILL BE UNRECOVERABLE BY ANY MEANS,” with a payment string of 53-41-52-45-49-57 underneath.

Interact with the laptop to eject the disc. It goes into your inventory as CD – 1, and inspecting it gives you the line “It’s some kind of disc…” That confirms you have the right item.

How to play the disc and spawn Hijack

Carry CD – 1 through to the Stairwell area. Do not drop it or swap it out for loot along the way, because you only get the one disc.

Locate a TV with a media player deck sitting underneath it. Equip CD – 1 in your hotbar and use it on the deck to load the disc.

Stay in the room and watch the screen. The TV starts glitching out and Hijack, a red distorted figure, comes out of it.

Let Hijack reach you. The badge is awarded off the attack itself, so running away or hiding from it defeats the point of the whole setup.

How to confirm the REDACTED badge unlocked

The Roblox badge notification pops the moment Hijack connects with you, and REDACTED then shows up in your achievements list alongside the rest of the Archives badges. If the notification never appears, one of a few things went wrong.

You skipped Sector S. Paying to advance past sections means you never pass the laptop room, and there is no other source for CD – 1.
You took the Archival Storage path. That branch triggers a different badge. The TV and media player are on the Stairwell side.
You dodged the entity. Spawning Hijack is not enough on its own; the hit is what registers the achievement.
You lost the disc. Dropping CD – 1 or leaving it behind in an earlier room means restarting the run from Sector S.

The Archives update is still getting patched, so specific interactions around the newer entities can shift between versions. If the sequence behaves differently on your run, the disc pickup at S-50 and the Stairwell media player are the two points worth re-checking first.
