All keys in ARC Raiders Dam Battlegrounds and what they unlock

Just like any other extraction shooter, keys in ARC Raiders Dam Battlegrounds will open the high-tier locked loot rooms present around the map. The ARC Raiders Server Slam event is currently live, where developers are stress-testing the servers before the title goes live on October 30, 2025. As such, all players have been given three days of free access to the game.

If you are familiar with extraction shooters, then one of your primary loot targets will be the locked high-tier loot rooms that can only be opened by using specific keys. Or you might want to obtain keys for a quick Raider Hatch extraction.

This article will list all the available keys in ARC Raiders Dam Battleground and the rooms they unlock.

What are all the keys in ARC Raiders Dam Battleground, and what do they unlock?

In the ARC Raiders Server Slam, only the Dam Battleground map is currently available to everyone for this playtest. The Dam Battleground contains four keys that open loot rooms spread across the map.

Alongside that, you can get the highly valuable Raiders Hatch key, which will allow you to quickly extract from the map using the Raider Hatches, if you come across a very high-tier loot item.

If you are not planning to use these keys, you can also sell them in-game vendor for a modest 100 Cred value. But do note that the Raider Hatch key is a lot more expensive, and it is recommended that you keep it on hand, as it will be quite a useful escape item during certain loot runs.

Note that the locations of these loot rooms are medium to high threat zones and will be teeming with powerful ARC robots guarding the area. Besides the bots, you will also have to keep a lookout for enemy ARC Raiders that will most likely ambush you and take away your hard-earned loot.

As such, it is recommended that you prepare properly before opening locked loot rooms during a raid. Equip high-level gears and, if possible, bring along friends for such loot runs.
