How to Get Shears in Doors: The Outdoors Update Guide

Need shears to get through the garden detour in the Outdoors update? Easy — you just have to grab them in the courtyard and bring them to the garden section near Door 90. This guide shows exactly where to look, how to use the shears, and a few practical tips so you don’t lose them before you reach the vines. Also check out our  All Entities in the game Guide.

Where to find the shears

The shears spawn in the Courtyard area of the hotel. When you reach the courtyard section, search around benches, planters and near the edges of the map — that’s where players commonly find them. The shears are a hand item you can pick up and carry in your inventory.

How to pick them up and keep them safe

1. Approach the shears and interact/pick up. They act like other tools — once grabbed, they stay in your inventory until you drop them or die.
2. If you plan to use the shears later (for Door 90), don’t swap them out for unneeded items. Keep one empty inventory slot for it so you don’t accidentally drop or consume it.
3. Be careful crossing risky areas after grabbing shears. If you die, you’ll lose the item and have to find it again.

How to use the shears at Door 90 / Garden detour

1. Make your way to Door 90 and enter the garden area. The detour path will be blocked by thick vines or overgrowth.
2. Select the shears in your hand (equip them like any held item).
3. Stand beside the blocking vines and use the interact button to cut. The game typically shows a prompt when you’re in range.
4. After cutting, move through the cleared path manually to reach the next area and earn the Detour badge if that’s your goal.

Shears are one of the simpler but essential tools in the Outdoors update: find them in the courtyard, keep them safe in your inventory, and use them at the garden near Door 90 to open the detour. Follow the steps above and you’ll be cutting through those vines with minimal stress. Want a short route map showing common courtyard spawn spots and the quickest path to Door 90?
