Where is the Blue Gate Confiscation Room?

Underground, in the Security Wing of the Blue Gate tunnels. You get in at Headhouse, north west of the Warehouse Complex, through the large opening in the ground. The room has MANTIKOR written above it, which is the landmark to navigate by.

What is the route to the Confiscation Room?

Drop into the opening at Headhouse, take the stairs down, ride the zipline to ground level, follow the hallway with the red lights, go left at the end into the large open area, then left again and north west past a security booth. There is a small staircase on your left. MANTIKOR is above the door.

Why does the map image mark Headhouse instead of the room?

Because the room is underground and a surface map cannot show it. The reticle marks Headhouse, the surface opening you descend through, not the door itself. Use it as your entry point and follow the route from there.

What is inside the Blue Gate Confiscation Room?

Mostly rare tier items. Guides consistently report two blueprints in there: the Heavy Gun Parts Blueprint, which lets you craft rare parts at a Refiner level 2 or above, and the IL Toro Blueprint for an uncommon shotgun at a level 1 Gunsmith.

Is the Confiscation Room worth the risk?

It is the highest value single key room on Blue Gate and it sits in the hottest PvP zone on the map. Go with a squad, go early or go late, and never go loud on the way in. Solo players should treat it as an opportunistic stop, not a plan.

Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key Location in Arc Raiders

The Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key location in Arc Raiders: the full underground route from Headhouse, the MANTIKOR sign above the door, and the loot.

Category: Key & Keycard Locations · Updated 2026-08-02

The Blue Gate map in Arc Raiders with Headhouse marked, the surface opening you descend through to reach the underground Confiscation Room — The Blue Gate. Important: the reticle marks Headhouse, the surface opening you descend through, not the room. The Confiscation Room is underground in the Security Wing, so a surface map physically cannot show it.

Short answer

Where to find it and where to use it

Where the key drops. Nowhere fixed. Epic rarity does not buy you a guaranteed spawn in this game. It comes out of the shared loot pool like every other key, and it drops on maps that are not Blue Gate: players report pulling it out of the Pale Apartments over on Dam Battlegrounds. Residential and office containers are where reports cluster. There is no published drop rate, so ignore any percentage attached to it.

Where the door is. This is the part worth memorising, because the room is underground and no map crop can show you the way.

Go to Headhouse, north west of the Warehouse Complex. There is a large opening in the ground there.
Go down the stairs.
Take the zipline down to ground level.
Follow the hallway with the red lights.
At the end of it, turn left into a large open area. Slow down here, this is where people die.
Go left again and north west, past a security booth.
There is a small staircase on your left. Take it.

Sources disagree slightly on how to describe where the Security Wing sits. The wiki places it next to the Traffic Tunnel below the Headhouse area. Several event guides place it below Reinforced Reception, in the south west section of the tunnels. Both descriptions can point at the same stretch of tunnel from different angles, and neither changes the route: you go in at Headhouse and you walk to the sign.

One more thing the in game text does not help with. The item description contains a typo and reads as though it unlocks a confiscated foods area. It is confiscated goods. There is no food room.

What it unlocks

One door, into the confiscated goods store in the Security Wing.

What is inside

Rare tier loot, and two blueprints that guides consistently name:

Heavy Gun Parts Blueprint. Unlocks crafting rare weapon parts at a Refiner at level 2 or above.
IL Toro Blueprint. Unlocks crafting the IL Toro, an uncommon shotgun, at a level 1 Gunsmith.

Blueprints are the reason this room outranks the rest of the Blue Gate key set. A gun you loot is a gun you lose next time you die. A blueprint is permanent, and it keeps paying every time you sit down at the bench.

The rest of the room is containers rolling rare tier items, which is respectable but not the story. Go for the blueprints, take the rest as change.

Is it worth the detour

Yes, and it is the most dangerous yes on this map.

The Blue Gate tunnels are the hottest PvP zone in the game. Everything down there funnels through a small number of corridors, sound carries, and the large open area on your route is a natural ambush point with sightlines in three directions. An epic key in your pocket does not make you harder to shoot.

How to make it survivable:

Go with a squad if you have one. This is a corner clearing run, not a solo lap.
Go early or go late. The middle of a raid is when the tunnels are busiest.
Do not go loud on the way in. Every fight you take on the descent tells everyone below you exactly where you are heading.
Bag space first. Two blueprints and a room of rare containers needs room to carry it.
Plan the exit before the entry. Coming back up the zipline route with a full bag is the worst moment of the run.

Solo, treat it as opportunistic. If you happen to hold the key and the tunnels are quiet, take it. Do not build a raid around it.

How keys work in Arc Raiders

Four rules, and they apply to this key exactly like every other one.

Single use. Consumed the moment the door opens.
Lost on death unless it is in your Safe Pocket, and it works from the Safe Pocket. For an epic key, this is not optional. Put it in the pocket.
Locked rooms reset between raids. Somebody else looting it does not lock you out.
No fixed spawns and no published drop rates. Random drop, plus other players' backpacks.
