How to use the Spaceport Control Tower Key in ARC Raiders

Step 1: Reach the Control Tower A6

Acquire the key before heading into the Spaceport raid (carry it in your inventory). As you spawn into Spaceport, head for the Control Tower A6 (Ground Control building).

Step 2: Reach the locked door

Enter at ground level and locate the locked door(s) inside this tower—usually near the lobby / entrance zone. With the key selected, interact with the door to unlock it. The door will open and grant you access to upper floors/rooms.

Step 3: Access the tower and extract

Ascend via stairs, ladders, or ziplines inside the tower to reach upper floors and loot rooms/containers that are typically behind the door you unlocked. Once you’ve looted and secured gear/materials, make your way to extraction. Because you’ve accessed a strong position, ensure you don’t over-stay or get caught by other raiders.

If you die before extraction, you will lose the key—so treat the run as higher risk once you’re in the tower.
