In ARC Raiders, keys are used to open locked Caches, Containers, and certain Instanced Doors in the Spire. Keys are NOT random junk—they always drop from specific sources.
Here’s where you can reliably find them:
🔑 Where to Find Keys in ARC Raiders
1. Loot from ARC Enemies (most common)
Many ARC units drop keys:
-
ARC Enforcers
-
ARC Scouts
-
ARC Drones
-
ARC Gunners / Heavy units
These enemies are found during:
-
ARC Raids
-
ARC Outposts
-
Distress Signals
-
ARC Patrol Zones
Keys have a glowing icon when dropped—don’t forget to loot them.
🔑 2. Complete ARC Encounters / Events
Keys are a guaranteed or high-chance drop from:
-
ARC Dread events
-
ARC Supply Convoys
-
ARC Hives
-
ARC Purges
If you’re short on keys, run these events—they drop them consistently.

🔑 3. Loot ARC-Locked Crates
Circular ARC Containers sometimes contain:
-
Keys
-
Keycards

High-tier loot
These crates appear in:

Bunkers

** ARC Footholds**

POIs with ARC signal interference
🔑 4. High-Risk Zones
Areas marked High Danger or ARC Controlled have a much higher key drop rate.
If you need keys fast, farm these with a squad.

Elites nearly always drop at least one:
-
ARC Captains
-
ARC Juggernaut
-
ARC Hunters
-
Spire boss encounters
🔑 6. Spire Runs (Instanced)
Inside the Spire:
-
Keys drop from elite groups
-
