What the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key unlocks and its tunnel setting

The confiscation room is located deep inside the tunnel complex in Blue Gate. These tunnels form a maze of narrow corridors that restrict line of sight but funnel engagements, leading to intense close-quarters combat scenarios. Access through the confiscation room door requires the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key, making it a critical target for tunnel-focused players.​

Blue Gate Village Key location:

Here's where to find the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key.

The Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key in ARC Raiders is found randomly as a loot drop primarily inside the Ruby Residence on the Dam Battlegrounds map.

The Ruby Residence is located at the northwestern corner of the map. Another recommended search location for the key is the Research and Admin building situated in the southern part of the map. Players should thoroughly check all cabinets, loot crates, and enemy drops in these areas to obtain the key.

It takes up an inventory slot and cannot be stored in the safe pocket, but you can move it between your stash and loadout freely.

How to use the Blue Gate Village key to maximize raid strategy

The recommended approach is to plan a tunnel-first run, carrying the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key if you aim to clear this critical mid-raid objective. Tunnels reduce sightlines but concentrate threats, so expect combat to be intense with ARC patrols and night variants. Using other keys such as the Communication Tower Key and a Raider Hatch Key for rapid extraction complements the effective use of this key.
