How to use Buried City Town Hall Key in ARC Raiders

Step 1: Reach the Town Hall Building at Buried City Map
Load into a raid on the Buried City map with the key in your inventory (if you find it beforehand). Make your way toward the Town Hall building—identify the landmark building in the map centre.
Step 2: Reach the locked door at ground level
On the northern side at ground level, locate the locked door requiring the key. With the key selected, press the interact button to unlock the door.

Step 3: Use the key and enter Town Hall
Enter the room immediately after unlocking—loot the containers inside (such as security lockers, weapon cases).

Step 4: Loot and Extract
After looting, extract via your chosen extraction point—do not linger, as this room is high-value and likely to attract enemies; if you encounter any, eliminate them ASAP.
