The Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key serves as a single-use access tool designed for raiders who commit to underground routes through one of Arc Raiders' most vertically complex maps.

The loot behind the locked door

The confiscation room holds concentrated high-tier containers:

Container type Contents Quantity range
Weapon case Weapons, mods, gun parts 3–6 items
Ammo crate Various ammo types 2–5 stacks
Medical duffel bag Bandages, medkits, stimulants 2–5 items

Opening weapon cases often yields upgraded gear that can justify dropping current loadout pieces mid-raid.

How to locate the Confiscation Room Key

Step 1: Search residential zones

Residential buildings in Blue Gate’s small towns reliably spawn keys in drawers and shelves. Thoroughly clear each apartment room.

Step 2: Check red security lockers

Red lockers appear in restricted areas and yield higher-value items, including keys. Prioritize these over standard teal lockers.

Step 3: Inspect office desk drawers

Administrative buildings and tower basements often house keys in desk drawers. Office clusters near tunnel entrances offer high spawn rates.

Step 4: Raid secondary containers

Secondary spawns occur in map-wide random containers. If primary zones yield no key, sweep nearby crates and breakables before moving on.

How to plan a tunnel extraction

Step 1: Map your entry and exit points

Identify two surface exits—vertical shafts or raider hatches—before entering the tunnel system to avoid entrapment.​

Step 2: Sync with raid conditions

Night raids boost loot quality but reduce visibility and raise ARC difficulty. Electromagnetic storms make surface travel hazardous, favoring tunnels instead.

Step 3: Loot efficiently and move

Clear high-value containers in order: weapon case first, then ammo crate, then medbag. Immediately head for the nearest exit to minimize exposure.

Blue Gate’s tunnel network tactics

Blue Gate’s tunnels force alternating close-quarters and long-sight battles. Lure grenades and flares mitigate ARC patrol chokepoints, while mines deter pursuers near exits. Lighter shields and agile weapons like the Vulcano shotgun excel in tight corridors.

When to skip the key

If primary objectives lie on the surface or session modifiers heavily penalize underground movement, selling the unused key for 100 credits preserves inventory space and avoids unnecessary risk.

Unlock more than loot

Schematics found in confiscation rooms unlock permanent crafting recipes, offering long-term progression beyond single-raid benefits. Prioritize orange- and yellow-rarity blueprints when present.

Carrying the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key pays off only with deliberate tunnel routes, pre-planned escape options, and an efficient loot-to-exit strategy. When used correctly, it secures a concentrated hit of high-tier gear that can turn the tide of any raid.
