How To Do Locked Gate ARC Raiders

The “Locked Gate” is a specific map event in ARC Raiders that takes place on the Blue Gate map. It is currently the primary way to farm high-tier loot like the Bobcat SMG blueprint.

Here is the step-by-step guide to completing the event.

Phase 1: Find the 4 Security Codes

Unlike other quests where items are in fixed spots, the Security Codes for this event spawn inside random loot containers within four specific zones. You do not need to find all four yourself—the entire lobby can contribute (if they are friendly), but usually, you have to do the legwork.

You need to visit these four Points of Interest (POIs) and loot everything (boxes, trash cans, lockers) until you find the “Security Code” item:

1. Ancient Fort:

   • Hazard: Riddled with landmines. Watch your step carefully.

   • Strategy: Search every crate. You do not need to unlock the puzzle room; keys can spawn in containers outside.

2. Raider’s Refuge:

   • Strategy: Search every loot container here. Keys have even been found by breaching metal bins.

3. Reinforced Reception:

   • Strategy: This is often the easiest one. Check the reception building; the code is frequently in the trashcan or filing cabinets.

4. Pilgrim’s Peak:

   • Hazard: High danger zone. This area is usually guarded by two Rocketeers.

   • Strategy: Bring Lure Grenades to distract them or long-range weapons to take them down before looting.

Phase 2: The Gate Control Room

Once you have a key code (or if you just want to help activate ones others have brought), head to the Gate Control Room located near the Warehouse Complex (atop the Checkpoint gate structure).

1. Enter the Room: Inside, you will find four consoles on the walls.

2. Insert Codes: Interact with the console that corresponds to the key you found. You will see which keys are missing by looking at the red/green status on the screens.

3. PvP Warning: This is the most dangerous room on the map. Hostile players often camp here waiting for others to deliver the keys. Check your corners!

Phase 3: The Underground (Loot)

Once all four consoles have been activated (by you or others), the main blast doors at the Outer Gates will open. This is the only entrance to the underground for this event (other tunnels are blocked).

1. Sprint to the Gate: It is located near the Checkpoint.

2. Enter the Tunnels: Head down into the darkness. Your goal is the Security Wing and the Breach Room.

3. Get the Bobcat: This area has massively increased loot tables. Look specifically for the Bobcat Weapon Blueprint, which has a high drop chance in the crates down here.

Essential Tips

• Landmines: The “Locked Gate” event usually adds the Landmine Modifier to the map. They are hard to see in the grass at Ancient Fort and Pilgrim’s Peak. Listen for the beeping sound.

• Check Progress: You can run to the Gate Control Room first to see which keys have already been inserted by other players. This saves you from running to a zone that has already been cleared.

• Exit Strategy: Remember that extraction points are often limited during this event. Ensure you have enough time to get out after looting the underground.
