There's plenty of loot to find in ARC Raiders, but the most valuable items are often found in the most dangerous of places. Such locations include locked rooms, such as the Confiscation Room in Blue Gate, and to get inside, you'll need to bring a specific key with you.
Any player can enter the Blue Gate Confiscation Room in ARC Raiders, provided someone in the squad has a key, or that someone else in the lobby has already opened it. If you want to get one of these keys for yourself (or if you want to know where the Confiscation Room is), here's a short guide showing where you need to go.
Updated January 31, 2026, by Ayyoun Ali: The Blue Gate Confiscation Room key is an epic-rarity item that opens up a door that has a chance to contain some of the most valuable loot on the map. This guide was updated to add more locations where players can find the key, along with useful information to help players easily locate the room on the Blue Gate map.

Dam Battlegrounds |
Players will be familiar with the Dam Battlegrounds map the most, which is why it's recommended to start your search here. Check out the Pale Apartments, Ruby Residence, and the Pattern House to get the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key in ARC Raiders. You'll also be less likely to run into hostile raiders at these locations since they're positioned at the corner of the map. |

Buried City |
If you're in a Buried City raid, check out the Grandioso Apartments and the group of houses east of the Abandoned Highway Camp. While you have a decent chance of finding a Blue Gate Confiscation key in one of these locations, you're more likely to run into other raiders here. |

The Blue Gate |
If you're visiting the Blue Gate map, head to the Village in the northwest corner of the map. The Village consists of several abandoned houses filled with residential-style containers. Make sure to visit this area during a night raid to increase your chances of finding the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key. |

Where to Use the Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key in ARC Raiders
To use the Blue Gate Confiscation Room key, players will need to head to the Outer Gates POI on the Blue Gate map.
It's located near the Checkpoint, and players must enter through the large metal gates, which lead directly to the locked room.
After heading inside, you'll spot a ton of cars parked inside. Go a bit further and turn west to follow a tunnel leading into the Security Wing. Players can view the map's second layer to orient themselves while exploring this area.
You'll eventually need to head up the stairs, onto a higher platform. You'll finally arrive at the Blue Gate Confiscation room in ARC Raiders, and will need to use the key to enter.
Inside the Blue Gate Confiscation Room, players will find several drawers and weapon lockers that have a high chance of spawning valuable loot, including Augment blueprints. There's also a chance that a Weapon Case, Ammo Box, Grenade Tube, Raider Backpack, and Medical Bag might spawn inside.
Make sure to also check for any loot sitting atop the shelves in the back room. Once you're done looting the Blue Gate Confiscation Room in ARC Raiders, simply head for the nearest extraction shaft.
