In ARC Raiders, there are a lot of ways to get your hands on valuable resources, epic weapons, and game-changing blueprints, but using keys is definitely one of the most reliable. Unfortunately, the keys themselves are scarce, but you can receive some of them as rewards from quests, and find them randomly throughout your topside expeditions.

ARC Raiders: Where To Use the Spaceport Container Storage Key

This guide explains where to use the Spaceport Container Storage key in ARC Raiders.

The keys you find will grant you access to rooms that have an increased chance of dropping high-tier loot. Some of the best blueprints and weapons that I've found so far have come from locked rooms, so they're worth tracking down.

In this guide, I'll be showing you where to use the Buried City Town Hall Key. Thankfully, it's not an especially tricky one to locate, so you have decent odds of looting it and getting off the map in one piece.

Where to Find the Buried City Town Hall Key

Finding keys in ARC Raiders is tough business, but there are thankfully websites like Metaforge where the data pictured above is collected for us to learn from. This is super handy, since key drops in ARC Raiders are random, though there are also trends to consider that can aid you in your search.

More often than not, players have found the Town Hall key in breachable containers, though lockers and boxes also seem to be let decent bets as well. The vast majority of people have found this key in Buried City itself, which is pretty convenient since that's where you'll need to use the key anyway.

Since looking in Buried City seems like your best option to find the key, it's always the best plan to search the residential areas of the map. More specifically, the Grandioso Apartments and the Abandoned Highway Camp will be most likely to result positively.

Still, keep your eyes peeled everywhere. There's always a chance to find any keys elsewhere too, including other key rooms or high-threat-level loot areas.

Prepare To Embark

To start your journey, select the Buried City map (seen above) and don't forget to put the town hall key in your safe pocket just in case you run into trouble.

This location gave me several powerful weapons, so I also suggest traveling light—I went in with just a trusty anvil to give me an extra slot to hold weapons. You'll want as much space in your backpack as possible to bring back all your goodies from this locked room.

You can also consider bringing along a Raider Hatch key if you'd like to make a safer extraction from a hatch instead of from a subway station.

Locate The Town Hall On The Map

Once you're topside, open up your map and find the town hall building seen above. Put a location marker on it to make it easier to track down.

You'll want to approach from the northwest, but this, of course, partially depends on where you spawn on the map in the first place.

When you've reached the town hall, the door you're looking for will be directly in the center of the building, underneath the tower, highlighted by the arrow in the picture above.

Unlike some other locked room locations in ARC Raiders that take some more particular navigation skills to reach, this one is very straightforward.

This does also mean that your odds of being spotted in the room by other wandering Raiders are higher. As a precautionary measure, shut the door behind you to protect yourself.

Weapons Case On The Top Floor

This is one of the most lucrative locations I've explored, so you'll likely find high-tier loot all over the place, but there is a weapons case on the top floor (seen above) that has a high chance of having something epic in it.

As you can see in the picture below, the Buried City Town Hall has the potential for not just one epic weapon, but multiple, as my Raider, Gorgon, was lucky enough to find a Bobcat, and an upgraded Bettina.

Of course, your results will vary depending on the RNG of the locked room on your particular run, but you still have a great shot at finding some worthwhile gear here. Good luck, Raider!
