Blue Gate Cellar Key Location in Arc Raiders

A lot of the good rarity is raiding Arc Raiderssuch as weapon blueprints and legendary items such as Snap Hook or Weapon mods, are found in rooms that require a key to access. This doesn't mean that players can't acquire these items elsewhere, just that the chance of getting them into the key rooms is much higher.

Finding the keys is random, but there are specific locations where players can look to increase their chances. The Blue Gate cellar key can only be used on the Blue Gate map, and having a specific state does not change that. The guide below provides information on potential loot locations where the key can be found and where to use it Arc Raiders.

As mentioned above, the chance of any key dropping in the game is completely random. The Commercial and Residential in-game buildings are your best bet for finding more keys. Any map that has a group of buildings with crates and lockers that you can loot is the ideal farm.

The Village on Blue gate Map or Pale apartments and Ruby Residencee in Women's Battlegrounds are good alternatives. Choose a night tree or the electromagnetic storm to increase the rarity of loot, and charge into a match with a looting kit.

The Looting MK 2 has 2 secure pockets and is great if you find valuable blueprints or keys on your run.

If you get a high rarity key, remember that when you open that door, there's a very high chance that enemy raiders can ambush you and knock you out and take the loot all to themselves. Because of this, you should bring a decent load, one that will help you defend yourself and also carry any loot you find.

Once you get the Blue Gate Cellar Key, charge into a match at the Blue Gate and make your way to the Olive Garden. This area has many trees that you can interact with to get Oliver, Apricotsand Lemons which is needed for some upgrades. Just south of where Olive Garden is written on the map, you will find a small cellar door that is locked.

Use your key on it to reveal a ladder going down. Once a player brings and uses a key on a door, that key will be lost and cannot be reused again. Inside you can find quite a few cabinets to search as well as a possible weapon case, which can drop a high rarity weapon.

Noisemaker in ARC Raiders

Before jumping into the basement, a good strategy would be to plant a Noisemaker or a mine on top which alerts you that players are nearby. Even if someone spots it and shoots it to disarm it, you will still be alerted and can act accordingly. To bring Shake and Explosive mines is also a good idea.

Even if you don't spend a lot of time raiding the small cellar, if you feel there are a lot of players nearby who can drop at any time, place the mines near the base of the ladder. This will make and damage any player that tries to come after you, and you can leave the basement much easier.
