162 articlesThe Riven Tides update introduced one of the biggest maps in ARC Raiders so far. With this comes new locked rooms, high-tier loot zones, hidden puzzles, and several dangerous hotspots for PvP.
At the same time, it introduced an all-new set of keys and locations for you to check out. There are a total of 10 locked doors on this map, at least as far as I’ve found. Each one is tied to a different randomly-spawning key, similar to how it works with other maps.
And, just like with other maps, it’s a pain to find where to use these keys! In this guide, I’ll tell you where to go to use any keys you find for the Riven Tides map.
How to Get the Keys
Before I start going over all of the locations in Riven Tides where you can use the keys, it’s worth noting how to get the keys themselves.

There are some exceptions, however. You can get some keys from quests as well, such as the Hotel Keycard No. 107 from the “Battening Down” quest. But these exceptions are few and far between.
Nonetheless, with all of that said, let’s go over the locations where you can use all of the keys within Riven Tides.
Hotel Keycard No. 113
Let’s start off at Hotel Panorama Azzurro in the westernmost part of the Riven Tides map. This hotel is also where you’ll be able to use most of the Riven Tides keys, conveniently enough!
For the Hotel Keycard No. 113, go inside the northeastern corner of the hotel and take the stairs up to floor 01. Walk straight ahead and you’ll see room 113 right in front of you, where you can use the keycard. The video below shows this simple route.
As a general guide for this hotel, take note of each floor and room number. Rooms that start with “1” are all in floor 01, for example, as shown by room 113 above!
Hotel Keycard No. 107
This is one of the earliest keys you can encounter on the map. It’s also yet another key you can use within Hotel Panorama Azzurro.
For this one, go further northwest past room 113 on floor 01 and you’ll find room 107 to your left. The video below shows an example of how to reach it.
As I’ve mentioned before, you get this keycard guaranteed through the “Batting Down” quest from Apollo. As such, it’s very likely that other players will have opened it already before you reach it.
Do take note that the area has become one of the busiest areas for PvP due to its concentrated loot density.
Hotel Keycard No. 102
For this one, you’ll need to reach room 102 inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro. Go all to the west on floor 01 to find this room at the end of a hallway, on your right. The video below shows a route to this room.
Hotel Keycard No. 205
Moving on while still inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro, you’ll need to go up to floor 02 to find room 205.
Room 205 is close to the center of floor 02, close to a zipline and the western stairs. If you look at the map, it’s right above the person-shaped icon. The next video shows how to reach it, using room 102 as a reference.
Hotel Keycard No. 208
Next up, you’ll need to go to room 208 on floor 02 of Hotel Panorama Azzurro. Just go to the eastern part of the floor and you should spot it easily, as shown in the next video. For further reference, you would be at the “rr” in “Azurro” on the map.
Hotel Keycard No. 311
For this one, you’ll need to go up to floor 03 of Hotel Panorama Azzurro. I recommend taking the easternmost stairs for this, since it’s closest to the room you need.
Once you take the stairs up to floor 03, go inside and you’ll see the boarded room 313 right in front of you. Go right of it to find room 311, as shown in the next clip.
Hotel Keycard No. 404
The last keycard you can use within Hotel Panorama Azzurro, finally! You’ll need to go up to floor 04 for this one, and I recommend using the easternmost staircase once again if you’re close to it.
If you took the easternmost stairs, you’d be on the roof of the hotel. Go all the way to the far west corner of the hotel to find room 404 at the end of a hallway, as you can see in the next clip.
Classified Records Keycard & Riven Tides Secure Storage Keycard
You can use both of these keys at the Port Authority Building in the northwestern part of Riven Tides. Note that the Secure Storage Keycard requires you to use the Classified Records Keycard first. That’s why I’ve paired them together here.
To start, get to the bottom center part of the building and use the ladders and stairs to climb all the way up.
On the top floor, go to the westernmost part of the building to find a Sentry protecting a pair of locked doors. You can open those doors with the Classified Records Keycard. The video below shows the route to reach it.
For the Secure Storage Keycard, you just need to enter the Classified Records room and look for a second locked door inside. You can use the keycard on that second door.
Crane House Keycard
To use this keycard, you’ll need to go to the Stacking Yard in the eastern part of the Riven Tides map. More specifically, the south-central building at the Stacking Yard.
Once you reach the area, use either the zipline in the center of one of the ladders on the side to go up to the south-central building.
As soon as you reach the top, you just need to go to the locked door in the southeastern corner. The video below shows how to reach it easily.
Are Key Runs Still Worth It?
The short answer is, yes. However, the approach has changed since launch.
After the recent balance updates, weapon durability drains faster on lower-tier gear, and PvP engagements happen more frequently around known loot hotspots.
Due to this, successful Riven Tides runs now depend more on fast rotations, smart extraction timing, picking low-traffic loot routes, and avoiding unnecessary fights.
While keys are still valuable, blindly rushing every locked room is no longer the most efficient strategy. For many players, combining one or two key rooms with Beachcombing routes and quieter industrial areas is far more consistent.
Wrapping Up
That’s all you need to know to be able to use all of the keys in Riven Tides, so you can loot all of these locations in ARC Raiders! Provided you managed to luck out and find the keys, anyway.
In total, there are 10 keys for this map that I know of. A total of 7 of them all lead to various rooms at Hotel Panorama Azzurro, too, making that the most worthwhile location if you manage to get multiple keys!
