Pro Tips for Efficient Key Farming

Keys and Access Cards spawn randomly, but you can dramatically increase your odds by targeting specific Points of Interest (POIs). The single besttime to farm is during an Electromagnetic Storm, as the event boosts loot rates inside buildings.

Top-Tier Key Farming Hotspots:

• Dam Battlegrounds: Focus on the Pattern House, Ruby Residence, and Pale Apartments.Thoroughly search drawers in kitchens and bedrooms. Security POIs likethe Control Tower are also excellent, particularly desks and offices.
• Blue Gate: The Village area is a goldmine. The residential buildings and houseshave containers with a significantly higher probability of containingkeys.
• Buried City: Concentrate your efforts on the Hospital and any Space Travel-themedbuildings, as their containers have elevated key drop rates.
• Supply Drops: Calling in a Supply Drop can yield keys, but use this methodcautiously, as it can attract unwanted attention from other Raiders.

Arm yourself with this knowledge, and you'll no longer just be survivingthe onslaught of ARC—you'll be thriving, equipped with the best gear the old world has to offer.
