The Spaceport is one of ARC Raiders' densest loot maps, and tucked into the Container Storage building — flagged "LOOT VALUE: HIGH" on the in-game map — is a sealed top-floor room behind red-lit doors that most raiders walk straight past. The Spaceport Container Storage Key is what gets you in, and it's a smart one: a single key opens one of three doors into the same room, and once you're inside you can pop the other two from within. The problem is the building is a multi-level maze of grated walkways, the loot is pure RNG, and bad guides send you to the wrong floor. This guide gives you the verified location, the route, and an honest loot breakdown — cross-checked against the ARC Raiders Wiki and the guides that have actually cleared the room.
Quick answer (TLDR): The Spaceport Container Storage Key is a Rare, single-use access key (listed at weight 0.25, sells for 100 coins) that opens one of three locked doors into a single sealed room on the top floor of the Container Storage building, in the centre of the Spaceport map (it's the POI tagged LOOT VALUE: HIGH). It's a random scavenging drop — found in residential interiors, desks, drawers and cabinets across the maps — not a guaranteed quest reward. Open any one of the three red-lit doors and you can open the other two from inside. The room is randomized industrial/mechanical loot: roughly six lockers, ammo cases, breachable containers, weapons, crafting components and blueprints, with documented clears around 30,000 coins. Worth it when you already hold the key and you're looting central Spaceport.
What is the Spaceport Container Storage Key in ARC Raiders?
The Container Storage Key is one of ARC Raiders' map-specific access keys — consumables that open a sealed door once, then disappear from your inventory. Per the wiki, it "opens 1 of 3 locked doors on the East side of the Container Storage on Spaceport… on the top floor" (arcraiders.wiki). That three-door design is the key's best feature: you only need one key to access a room with three entrances.
Here are the item-card stats as listed on the wiki — note that the weight and value come from a single primary source, so treat them as the wiki's figures rather than triple-confirmed:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Rare |
| Type | Single-use access key (consumed on use) |
| Weight | 0.25 |
| Vendor value | 100 coins |
| Map | Spaceport |
| Unlocks | 1 of 3 doors → one top-floor room in Container Storage |
The practical read: at 0.25 weight it's free to carry, and Rare rarity means it's less common as a random drop than the Uncommon keys — so grab it whenever you see one. If you're building out the rest of your Spaceport keyring, the same "find the key, find the room" loop applies as on the Blue Gate Communication Tower Key and the Buried City Residential Master Key.
How do you get the Spaceport Container Storage Key?
The reliable answer is scavenging. The wiki lists "Scavenging" as a source, and in practice keys drop from residential interiors — desks, drawers, wooden cabinets, backpacks and storage containers across multiple maps, plus off other players you down (arcraiders.wiki, dualshockers). DualShockers, for instance, found theirs in a cabinet at Ruby Residence on the Dam Battlegrounds map — not on Spaceport at all. Good hunting grounds include Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence, and frequency reportedly ticks up in amber and red (high-value) zones and during Night Raid conditions (levelupper).
One important caveat on quests: you may see this key linked to the "Switching the Supply" quest. Be careful — the wiki's own quest page lists that quest's reward as a Spaceport Trench Tower Key, not the Container Storage Key (arcraiders.wiki). The sources contradict each other here, so don't count on a quest for this specific key. Treat scavenging as the dependable route and bank the key in your Safe Pocket so you don't lose it if you go down.
Where is the Container Storage locked room in Spaceport?
The Container Storage building sits in the centre of the Spaceport map, near Control Tower A6 and Vehicle Maintenance (see the annotated map above) — and it's flagged LOOT VALUE: HIGH, so it's worth the detour even before you factor in the locked room. The locked door(s) are on the top floor, identifiable by their red lights (gamerant).
Getting up there is the tricky part, because the building is a stack of grated walkways:
- Enter Container Storage and find a staircase on the side of the building.
- Climb two levels, then turn around and take another staircase up to the top floor (gamerant).
- On the top floor, follow the metal-grated walkways and head north (per the compass) toward the red-lit door.
- Use the key on any one of the three doors — north, south, or the breach-room side. Once you're inside, the other two open from within, so you only spend one key.
A practical heads-up: there's a security camera near the southern door, so if you approach from the south, expect to be spotted (shacknews). Clear the walkways before you commit to using the key — getting third-partied mid-loot with a single-use key already spent is the worst-case outcome.
What's inside — the loot breakdown
Here's the honest part: the loot is randomized (RNG-based) — a run can roll big or roll a bust. What's documented is the container layout and a few real pulls, not a fixed drop list. The room is industrial/mechanical in flavour, which lines up with the building's HIGH loot-value tag. Documented spawns include:
| Spawn (documented in the Container Storage room) | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ~6 industrial lockers | Containers | The bulk of the room's loot |
| Ammo case(s) / boxes | Containers | Restock mid-raid |
| Breachable rusted-iron containers | Breach loot | Need a breaching tool/charge |
| Breachable wall power conduit | Breach loot | Extra hidden pull |
| Cabinets & drawers | Loose loot | Components, materials, currency |
Sources: shacknews and gamerant.
For specific pulls, one documented run by DualShockers turned up a Bettina I Blueprint, Advanced Mechanical Components, Light Gun Parts, and a Wolfpack — an Epic quick-use grenade that scatters into homing missiles and sells for 3,000 coins (dualshockers). Shacknews reported clearing the full room for roughly 30,000 coins of profit in a single raid (shacknews). That makes it a solid, reliable-volume room — strong, if not the single richest key room on the map — for a 100-coin key.
If grinding a randomized room for a specific blueprint or component sounds like a lot of RNG — because it is — that's exactly the grind we shortcut:
Skip the key grind, get the gear directly:
- ARC Raiders Blueprints — from $0.99 — 60+ blueprints, unlock rare weapons, fast & secure delivery.
- ARC Raiders Materials — from $0.02 — every rarity, instant delivery, trusted.
- All ARC Raiders services — everything topside, without the RNG.
Is the Spaceport Container Storage Key worth it?
Yes — when you already have one. At 0.25 weight it's free to carry, the three-door design means a single key clears a whole room, and the building's HIGH loot value plus documented ~30,000-coin clears (with blueprint and component upside) make it a strong-volume stop. If you're looting central Spaceport, route it in.
No — don't build a raid around it. It's a Rare key opening a randomized room up a multi-level maze with a security camera covering one entrance. Don't sprint across Spaceport to reach it, and don't burn a raid scavenging for the key when it can drop on any map. Play it opportunistically: key in your Safe Pocket, Container Storage on the way, in through the nearest red-lit door, out before you get third-partied.

FAQ
Where do you use the Spaceport Container Storage Key? On the top floor of the Container Storage building, in the centre of the Spaceport map near Control Tower A6 and Vehicle Maintenance. Climb the side staircases to the top floor, follow the grated walkways north, and use the key on any one of the three red-lit doors.
How do you get the Spaceport Container Storage Key? It's a random scavenging drop — search desks, drawers, cabinets and storage containers in residential interiors across the maps (Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments are good spots), or take it off a downed player. Despite some sources linking it to the "Switching the Supply" quest, the wiki lists that quest's reward as the Trench Tower Key, so don't rely on a quest for this one.
Does one key open all three doors? It opens one of the three locked doors. But once you're inside the room, you can open the other two from within — so a single key gets you the whole room and all three exits.
Is the Container Storage Key single-use? Yes. It's consumed the moment you open a door, so one key equals one trip into the room. If you die before using it, it's lost — bank it in your Safe Pocket to be safe.
What loot is in the Container Storage room? Randomized industrial/mechanical loot: roughly six lockers, ammo cases, breachable iron containers and a breachable power conduit, plus cabinets and drawers. Documented pulls include a Bettina I Blueprint, Advanced Mechanical Components, Light Gun Parts and an Epic Wolfpack grenade — one full clear was worth about 30,000 coins.
Is the Container Storage Key worth using? Yes, if you already have one. At 0.25 weight it's free to carry, the three-door room delivers reliable volume well above the key's 100-coin cost, and there's real blueprint and component upside. Just don't build a whole raid around reaching it.
