Key Locations and Unlocks
Some of the best ARC Raiders gear requires keys to access, but they're incredibly rare. The game also doesn't tell you exactly where to use a key if you happen to find one, and the key you find may not even have a use on the map where you got it from. These are all the keys in ARC Raiders and where to use them.

How to Get Keys in ARC Raiders
Keys are incredibly rare drops in ARC Raiders. They can be found from any loot containers on any map, but the odds of finding one are slim.
Your best bet is to visit locations on each map outlined in red. These locations have a high loot value, meaning you'll find the best possible gear and most valuable items there. You'll just have to watch out for other players since everyone will be fighting for control of these areas.
Looting other players is also a great way to find keys. Patrolling the areas surrounding popular POIs is a surefire way to catch one or two players by surprise, and the same goes for extraction elevators. It's not an appreciated tactic by other players, but that's just how these games go.
