Level 496 is the 497th level of the Backrooms.

Description

Level 496 appears as a clean and furnished Bank building. Certain rooms have special qualities, such as having elevators and stairs leading to other levels, regenerative vending machines, teller desks, vaults, janitorial rooms and security rooms. Level 496 is considered to be safe due to the lack of hostile entities and the semi-abundant amount of food found on the level.

The level has Teller desks which are sometimes manned by a Faceling. You can use them to "deposit" and "withdraw" money and belongings. Bank vaults can be found in rooms titled "employee-only" which have thousands of dollars from the Frontrooms. Security rooms can be found near bank vaults. They are almost always locked, though there is high reward inside in the form of weaponry.

Food can be found in the form of chips, beef jerky and candy found in vending machines. Energy drinks, Soda Cans and Almond Water can also be found in certain vending machines. The potted plants found on the level are also edible. Medical supplies are scattered around the walls of the level in First-Aid kits. Grabbing money from teller desks or even from vaults is essential if you want to grab food from vending machines.
