How ARC Raiders keys work
Keys and keycards unlock high-value rooms that are sealed on every run. Most drop from Scavenging on their home map — a small, light item (weight ~0.25) worth roughly 100 coins to recycle — while a handful are quest rewards or crafted at the Refiner. Bring the right key into a raid, reach the door, and the room behind it is usually a concentrated loot pocket: weapon crates, blueprints, electronics and refined materials.
Which keys should you prioritise?
Filter by map and sort by Worth it? The highest-return doors right now are the Buried City Residential Master Key (one key opens three doors), the JKV Employee Access Card (a weapon crate plus Osprey and Bettina blueprints) and the Dam Control Tower (a documented ~50,000 coin clear). Low-traffic keys are still listed so you can decide per run.
Where do these facts come from?
Every location, rarity, cost and loot note is pulled from our individually researched ARC Raiders key guides (verified against arcraiders.wiki and corroborating outlets). Where a guide doesn't state a value, the field is left blank rather than guessed — open the full guide for the annotated, in-game map route.
