Dam Keys in ARC Raiders open doors that lead to medium-to-high tier loot every Raid. However, the threats are as deadly in these locations, too. Before you can access these doors, you need to find the Dam Keys first. These Dam Keys can only be found in the Dam Battlegrounds map. With that being said, here’s where you can find all 4 Dam Keys in ARC Raiders.
While the keys are random drops and not assured spawns, we have put up the best places to search for these.
Dam Surveillance Key Location & Where to use in ARC Raiders
The Dam Surveillance Key is obtained as a random drop from drawers, cabinet and residential areas in Ruby Residence and the Research & Administration building.
Once you’ve obtained this Key, head to the Water Treatment Control building in the Dam Battlegrounds map, where you can use it. Enter the building, then take two rights to reach a locked door where the Dam Surveillance Key is used. Unlock the door to find a new weapon, containers, lockers, bags, ammo crates, and more. Remember, these areas are prone to rival players and ARCs, so prepare well before you open the door.
Dam Control Key Location & Where to use in ARC Raiders
You’ll obtain the Dam Control Key as a random drop from drawers, cabinets, and lockers in the Research & Administration building. Once you’ve obtained the Key, head to the Control Tower.
From the entrance, turn left and follow the path ahead. You’ll find an elevator with a zip line that leads to the top. Use it, climb up, exit the elevator, and turn right to find the locked door, where you can use the Dam Control Key. You’ll find turrets inside the room, and in this area in general, so make sure you take those out before you can proceed.
Once you’ve done that, check every locker, cabinet, crates, and floor loot inside the room to find ammo, resources, new weapons, new weapon attachments, and more. It’s one of the best looting spots in ARC Raiders, and you’ll obtain a multitude of items in your Raids from this location itself. There’s also a bypass route if you don’t have the key.
Simply climb to the roof of the Control Tower, then jump on the blue vents, down from the ledge behind the vents, and shimmy up to the Dam Control Key room. For players who haven’t obtained the Dam Room Key, this not only gives you a free access to the room, but also gives you an opportunity to take out the turrets inside the room before they spot you in ARC Raiders.
Dam Testing Annex Key Location & Where to use in ARC Raiders
There is a high chance for the Dam Control Key to spawn as a random drop in residential and research & admin areas from drawers and cabinets in ARC Raiders. You’ll have a higher chance to find this Key from the Research & Administration building, which is filled with cabinets and drawers.
After getting the Key, head to the Testing Annex building and access it through the ground entrance. Inside, walk straight ahead, and you’ll come across the door that uses the Dam Testing Annex Key. Use the key to get inside, and you’ll find a plethora of lockers you can breach and open. It’s a great spot to farm materials, resources, and you’ll also obtain a new weapon from that location.
You can also use this key at a second door inside the Testing Annex building. From the location of the first door, turn right and head down the hallway to find the locked door. Unlock it with the Dam Testing Annex Key and collect all your rewards from the lockers, bags, crates, and more.
Dam Staff Room Key Location & Where to use in ARC Raiders
Like the previous Dam Keys, the Dam Staff Room Key is found as a random drop from the Research & Administration building. Head there and look for any drawers and cabinets, the key has a high chance of spawning there. Once you’ve found it, head to the Control Tower, located right beside the Research & Administration building.
Head to the Control Tower’s entrance in the Dam Battlegrounds map, and access the building. Near the entrance, you’ll find the locked door where the Dam Staff Key is used. Inside the room, you’ll find plenty of lockers you can breach, new weapons, new weapon attachments, trolleys with ammo, and more floor loot around the area.
