Arc Raiders: Dam Battlegrounds Nøgleguide

Arc Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter where keys in Dam Battlegrounds play a crucial role. They provide access to locked rooms with valuable loot or allow for safer extraction from the map. Knowing which keys exist, where to find them, and how to use them effectively gives you a significant advantage in raids.
In this guide, we’ll cover all the keys in Dam Battlegrounds, their functions, vendor prices, and tips for using them efficiently.
Types of Keys in Dam Battlegrounds
On the Dam Battlegrounds map, several keys can be found that unlock doors or special passages. The main ones include:
Key Name | What It Unlocks/ Purpose | Vendor Price/ Value |
|---|---|---|
Raider Hatch Key | Opens the Raider Hatch — a special exit hatch for faster extraction | ~1000 Creds |
Dam Staff Room Key | Grants access to a room in the Research & Administration building | ~100 Creds |
Dam Surveillance Key | Provides access to a room in the Water Treatment Control building | ~100 Creds |
Dam Control Center Tower Key | Opens the door to the Control Center Tower | ~100 Creds |
Dam Testing Annex Key | Unlocks 2 doors in the Testing Annex area | ~100 Creds |
These keys allow players to access locked areas with higher-tier loot compared to standard locations.
Where to Find Keys

Keys can be obtained as loot in several ways:
- In containers, chests, and crates throughout the Dam location.
- From defeated enemies or guard robots.
- In high-risk areas with many enemies, which often contain valuable keys.
The spawn locations of keys are random within the Dam Battlegrounds zone, so it’s important to stay alert and search in potentially dangerous areas.
How to Use Keys (and When to Apply Them)
Keys such as Dam Staff Room, Surveillance, Control Center Tower, and Testing Annex provide access to rooms with mid- to high-level loot, but these areas are often located in high-activity zones guarded by enemies or robots. Use the key if there is a safe opportunity to enter, but if the risk is too high, it may be wiser to sell it instead. The Raider Hatch Key is particularly valuable, as it opens an alternative extraction route that is especially useful when carrying heavy loot or avoiding the main extraction point, saving time and reducing the chance of encountering enemies. If a key is not needed — for example, the room has already been accessed or no relevant door is nearby — selling it can be the better option. Standard door keys typically sell for around 100 Creds, while the Raider Hatch Key is worth roughly 1000 Creds due to its high utility.
Tips and Strategies
It’s important to always keep the Raider Hatch Key ready, especially when carrying valuable loot, as it can be a lifesaver during extraction. Avoid opening rooms in areas with many enemies, and always prioritize safety. When playing in a team, coordinate key usage to prevent wasting multiple keys on the same door. Familiarize yourself with the Dam Battlegrounds map and note which rooms are locked to make faster decisions about whether a key is worth using. Planning your loadout carefully, as discussed in our Best Builds ARC Raiders Guide, can also help determine when it’s worth taking risks to access certain rooms. In some cases, it may simply be safer to sell a key rather than attempt to reach a locked room through a heavily contested area.
