Where to Use the Blue Gate Cellar Key in Arc Raiders

A lot of the good rarity loot in Arc Raiders, such as weapon blueprints and legendary items like Snap Hook or Weapon mods, is located inside rooms that need a key to access. This doesn’t mean that players can’t acquire these items elsewhere, only that the chance of getting them inside the key rooms is much higher.

Finding the keys is random, but there are specific places where players can look to increase their chances. The Blue Gate Cellar Key can only be used on the Blue Gate map, and having a specific condition does not change that. The guide below provides information on potential loot spots where the key can be found and where to use it in Arc Raiders.

As stated above, the chance of any key dropping in the game is completely random. The Commercial and Residential buildings in the game are your best bet for finding more keys. Any map that has a group of buildings with drawers and cabinets that you can loot is the ideal farm.

The Village on the Blue Gate Map or the Pale Apartments and Ruby Residenc e in Dam Battlegrounds are good options. Opt for a night raid or the Electromagnetic Storm to increase the loot rarity, and load into a match with a Looting Kit.

The Looting MK 2 has 2 Safe Pockets and is great in case you find valuable blueprints or keys on your run.

If you acquire a high-rarity key, you must remember that when going to open that door, there is a very high chance that hostile raiders might ambush you and knock you out, taking the loot all for themselves. Because of this, you should bring a decent loadout, one that helps you defend yourself and also carry any loot you find.

Once you have acquired the Blue Gate Cellar Key, load into a match on Blue Gate and make your way to Olive Garden. This area has a lot of trees that you can interact with to get Olives, Apricots, and Lemons that are needed for some upgrades. Right to the south of where Olive Garden is written on the map, you will find a small cellar door that is locked.

Use your key on it to reveal a ladder that goes down. Once a player brings and uses a key on a door, that key will be lost and cannot be reused again. Inside, you can find a lot of cabinets to search as well as a possible weapon case, which can drop a high-rarity weapon.

Before dropping into the Cellar, a good strategy would be to plant a Noisemaker or a Mine on top that alerts you that players are nearby. Even if someone spots it and shoots it to disarm it, you will still be alerted and can act accordingly. Bringing Jolt and Explosive Mines is also a good idea.

Even though you won’t take much time looting the small cellar, if you feel like there are a lot of players in the vicinity who can drop at any moment, place the mines near the base of the ladder. This will incapacitate and damage any players who try to come for you, and you can leave the cellar much more easily.
