The Blue Gate tunnels are among the most mysterious regions in ARC Raiders, known for their hidden passages and high-value loot rooms. Among them, the Confiscation Room stands out as a secure chamber filled with valuable weapons, ammo, and resources — but it’s locked behind the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key.
If you’ve been struggling to find this key or unsure where to use it, here’s everything you need to know.
What Is the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key?
The Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key grants access to the locked Confiscation Room inside the Blue Gate tunnel network. This area contains rare loot, useful crafting materials, and occasionally high-tier weapons.
You can use the key only once per run — once used, it’s consumed, so plan your expedition carefully before heading underground. Like most keys in ARC Raiders, it occupies one inventory slot and cannot be stored in the safe pocket, meaning you’ll risk losing it upon death unless stored in your stash beforehand.
Where to Find the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key
The key doesn’t have a fixed spawn point, but it can commonly be found in residential and administrative buildings across certain maps, especially the Dam Battlegrounds.
Common Spawn Locations
- Ruby Residence (Dam Battlegrounds, Northwest Corner)
- One of the most consistent spots to check. Search the cabinets, desks, and loot crates inside the building.
- Players have reported finding the key in drawers on the upper floors.
- Research and Admin Building (South of Dam Battlegrounds)
- Head inside the multi-story structure and inspect storage lockers and shelves.
- This location often yields random key drops including the Confiscation Room Key.
The exact drop location can vary due to ARC Raiders’ map rotation and random loot system. If you don’t find it immediately, explore nearby buildings, enemy outposts, and loot crates. Occasionally, it can also drop from enemy NPCs during engagements in these areas.
How to Use the Confiscation Room Key
Once you’ve obtained the key, travel to the Blue Gate region and make your way to the Reinforced Reception Zone — this serves as the main entry point into the tunnel network.
Step-by-Step Access Route
- Enter the Reinforced Reception area and look for the entrance to the tunnels.
- Take the zipline down to the lower level until you reach the underground floor.
- Turn right at the first major intersection and proceed through the tunnels.
- Continue heading northwest until you encounter a door with the Mantikor insignia above it.
- Use the Confiscation Room Key from your inventory to unlock the door and access the chamber.
Inside the room, you’ll find a mix of weapon crates, ammo boxes, and supply shelves — perfect for restocking before your next major encounter.
All Loot Inside the Confiscation Room
While loot quality can vary, most players will find:
- Basic and mid-tier weapons (like the Burletta I Pistol).
- Ammo types including light and heavy rounds.
- Crafting materials such as apricots, cloth, and bandages.
- Occasional scrap and consumable resources scattered across the floor or on tables.
The Confiscation Room may not always guarantee top-tier drops, but its combination of supplies makes it a worthwhile stop, especially during extended exploration runs through Blue Gate.
Additional Tips for Exploration
- Bring the Raider Hatch Key: Useful for quick exits after looting. You can obtain it from the Shani trader at the vendors’ section.
- Use Vertical Shafts to Escape: The Vertical Shafts inside Blue Gate tunnels allow players to surface quickly without needing keys — ideal if you’re being chased or low on health.
- Prepare for Enemy Encounters: Expect both AI patrols and other players within the tunnels. Move cautiously and clear rooms before looting.
- Keep Extra Inventory Space: The Confiscation Room has multiple loot points; ensure your bag isn’t already full before entering.
The Confiscation Room isn’t just about loot — it’s a strategic point for scavengers. Accessing it safely while surviving the tunnels requires planning and awareness, rewarding players who balance risk and resource management. Whether you’re restocking before a big raid or hunting specific materials, having the Confiscation Room Key ensures one of the best underground runs in ARC Raiders.
