There's plenty of loot to find in ARC Raiders, but the most valuable items are often found in the most dangerous of places. Such locations include locked rooms, such as the Confiscation Room in Blue Gate, and to get inside, you'll need to bring a specific key with you.
Any player can enter the Blue Gate Confiscation Room in ARC Raiders, provided someone in the squad has a key, or that someone else in the lobby has already opened it. If you want to get one of these keys for yourself (or if you want to know where the Confiscation Room is), here's a short guide showing where you need to go.
How to Complete the Harvester in ARC Raiders (Equalizer & Jupiter Blueprints)
Harvester is a special event in ARC Raiders that spawns the Queen and allows players to get the legendary Equalizer & Jupiter Blueprints.
ARC Raiders: Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key Location
You can potentially find a Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key in any loot container inside Residential or Commercial points of interest. One of the easier and safer places to look is the Ruby Residences POI in Dam Battlegrounds — you can find this at the northwestern corner of the map. Given how it's an unmarked POI at the edge of the map, Ruby Residences is a fairly low-traffic spot with a decently low chance of other players checking it out (unless they spawn right next to it).
Another good place to check is the Research & Administration building in Dam Battlegrounds. It's right next to the Control Tower, and unlike Ruby Residences, it is one of the hottest spots in the region. Many players gravitate toward it, so expect a few close encounters if you ever decide to go there yourself.
Once you're inside a Residential spot, check every container you can. You'll usually find keys inside desk drawers and jackets hanging on walls. If you don't find one, exit out of the map or quit the game. We only recommend the latter if you brought a free loadout or if you have any extra Augments to spare. If you want to be extra safe, bring any Augment that has at least one Safe Pocket.
The apartments in Buried City are also good for finding keys in ARC Raiders, but that place tends to be a lot more dangerous in terms of ARCs and players.
Where to Find Blue Gate Confiscation Room in ARC Raiders
The Blue Gate Confiscation Room is in the Reinforced Reception POI on the north side of the map. This is along one of the best loot routes in ARC Raiders, and if you want to get inside the Confiscation Room, you'll need to go down into the tunnels, but be careful of other players. Trust absolutely nobody.
From the main entrance of the big, concrete building, zip down the elevator shaft, then head left. Look for the yellow markings on the walls, they'll lead you to the Confiscation Room.
If you're lucky, you should have the entire place to yourself. However, there will be a few machine gun turrets in the facility, so make sure to bring a weapon with good armor penetration or a few grenades to take them out.
