Keys are among the best items you can find in Arc Raiders. The game has you raid the topside, scavenging materials while trying to make a safe escape from the lurking Arcs. While loot can be found all across, certain high-loot areas store the best stash, but locating the right set of containers can be time-consuming. These areas also tend to be riskier to enter.

Keys help unlock locked doors in such locations, offering great loot all within the same room. One such key is the patrol car key, which you can use to unlock an armored car in the Blue Gate map in Arc Raiders.

In this article, we will look at where you can find the Patrol Car Key and how to use it in Arc Raiders.

Where To Find Patrol Car Keys in Arc Raiders?

Keys are generally found in residential areas, whether in buildings or houses. Once inside any of these houses, thoroughly search through the drawers and shelves in all the rooms. If you are willing to take an extra risk, you can enter restricted areas and look through red lockers as well. You may also, if lucky, stumble upon keys when searching through random lockers.

Once you find the patrol car key, load into a new match inside the Blue Gates in Arc Raiders. This key can only be used in this location. In Blue Gates, head to the Headhouse, located between Outer Gates and Pilgrim’s Peak. There may be a few Arcs surveying the area, so tread cautiously. From here, head down the stairs, and at the center, you will find a zipline that takes you all the way to the ground.

Once down, take a left to exit the alley to the tunnel, then take another left. Stick to the center of the tunnel until you reach an armored car on your path. It is easy to identify, as you will see an interactive blip on its back. Be cautious, however, as there is a Bastion guarding this area. Approach it and use the key to open it. Loot up and make a safe extraction with all your findings.
