‘Arc Raiders‘ has multiple important items in the game, but one of the most important is the Keys. Not only do they unlock some of the best loot, but depending on their rarity, you can get some pretty good items. One of them is the Blue Gate Cellar Key, an uncommon rarity key that opens cellars across the Blue Gate Map.
There are other rare keys as well, but the Blue Gate Cellar leads to much more elusive loot, which is better than simply exploring the open map. The only catch is that the drop rate is totally random, and you cannot predict where to look, thus saving yourself from a failed run.
Where To Find The Blue Gate Cellar Key In ‘ARC Raiders’?
The most reliable location to find the Blue Gate Cellar Key is at the Ruby Residence on the Dam Battlegrounds map. Players should thoroughly search every drawer, cabinet, and shelf inside the residential buildings at this location. There is no specific container that guarantees the drop; all of them can hold the key.
If it doesn’t show up at Ruby Residence, the Research and Administration Building is another strong option. The second floor of this building is known for spawning random keys across its storage units and desk drawers. Pale Apartments on Dam Battlegrounds is also worth checking.
The key can also appear in Residential and Commercial buildings on other maps. The Village area on the Blue Gate map itself has been confirmed as a potential drop location. Since drops are luck-based, players should loot every possible container they come across.

Running during Night Raids or Electromagnetic Storms increases loot rarity across the board. Keys benefit from this modifier as well. Using the Looting Kit also allows you to extend the search time and the inventory space. Once found, the players can simply store it in a safe pocket to avoid losing it on death.
Where To Use The Blue Gate Cellar Key In ‘ARC Raiders’?
Once secured, you can simply load the Blue Gate map, and the cellar can be found south of the Olive Grove area. With the entrance sitting at the base of the hill, you will have a hard time finding it. But if you look carefully enough, it will be next to a rock wall.
Players should approach carefully since the nearby Ruined Homestead is usually swarming with Arc enemies. Crouching and looping around is the safest approach. Interacting with the locked cellar door uses the key and reveals a ladder going down. The key is consumed on use and cannot be reused.
Inside the cellar, players will find cabinets, drawers, and a possible weapon case. Loot can include Advanced Electrical Components, Sensors, Mechanical Components, grenades, and even weapon blueprints. One player reported finding a Venator I pistol blueprint, a Rare weapon that fires two shots at a time.

A smart strategy is to place a Noisemaker or Mine on top of the cellar entrance before dropping in. This alerts you if other players approach while you are looting below. Bringing Jolt and Explosive Mines adds an extra layer of defense near the ladder.
