Dam Battlegrounds is the first map that unlocks in Arc Raiders when you begin the game. The Alcantara Power Plant, or ‘the Dam,’ would serve as a crucial stronghold for Arc Raiders during battles. Within the Dam, Battlegrounds are spread across five different keys, spawning at random locations on the map.

While four of these serve the purpose of unlocking doors, one will help you exit the arena safely at the height of the play. In this article, we will look at the list of keys you can acquire in Arc Raiders.

These keys in Arc Raiders are crucial for unlocking doors and acquiring good loot, useful for your combat. The Hatch key, on the other hand, is highly valuable as it spawns Raider Hatches. You can use this key to extract yourself from the map. You should use this when you find high-tier loot items and want to protect them in case you die in the game. Once you use the key, it will be open for 15 seconds, within which you need to escape.
