Get Hatch Keys Fast and Easy in ARC Raiders

One of the most valuable items in ARC Raiders is undoubtedly the Hatch Key. These keys can get you out of a tough situation during a raid and often make the difference between extracting safely with all your hard-earned loot or getting ambushed in an elevator or metro while trying to make your way back to Speranza.

Hatch Keys provide a much safer extraction option, ensuring that the time you've invested in a raid doesn't go to waste at the very last moment. In this guide, I'll show you an efficient farming route that will allow you to gather the materials needed to craft your own Hatch Keys, so you're never caught without one before heading back into the Topside.

The Best Hatch Key Farming Route in ARC Raiders

To be clear, we won't be farming Hatch Keys directly. Instead, we'll be gathering the materials needed to craft them ourselves. Before getting started, you'll need a Level 2 Utility Station and a Level 2 Refiner, along with two key materials:

Advanced Electrical Components
Sensors

The good news is that both of these can be obtained through the same farming route, meaning you'll only need to focus on looting the same set of containers. So, which containers are we targeting?

Server Racks

Server Racks
Recording Panels

These containers can drop the following items:

Sensors
Fried Motherboards
Processors
Damaged Heat Sinks
Cooling Fans
Wires

At this point, we've already secured Sensors, which is one of the materials required to craft Hatch Keys. As for the rest of the loot, we'll use it to craft the Advanced Electrical Components we still need.

Here's how it works: recycle everything except the Wires. By breaking down those items, you'll obtain additional Wires and Electrical Components. These two resources are exactly what you'll need to craft Advanced Electrical Components, and the process can be done using your Level 2 Refiner.

By following this route consistently, you'll be able to stockpile the materials required to craft your own Hatch Keys.

Spaceport

So, which map should you be running? Spaceport is going to be our map of choice for this farming route. We'll be focusing on two specific buildings:

Departure Building

Here, you'll want to focus on the first and third floors.

Once you enter the building, head into the lobby. You'll notice a hallway with a room attached to it this is the room we're after, as it's the server room packed with Server Racks. After looting everything inside, continue down the same hallway until you reach the end, where you'll find a zipline that takes you up to the third floor.

Once you're up there, turn left and follow the corridor all the way to the end. You'll find even more Server Racks waiting for you. After clearing the area, all that's left to do is leave the building and make your way toward the Arrival Building.

third floor

Arrival Building

This one is much simpler. All you need to do is access the two rooms located at the main entrance of the building, directly across from the Car Park. Loot both rooms and then head for the nearest available extraction elevator.

Arrival Building

Both buildings are located close to extraction elevators, so it doesn't really matter which one you choose to start with.

How to Craft Hatch Keys in ARC Raiders

As mentioned earlier, crafting your own Hatch Keys requires a Level 2 Utility Station and a Level 2 Refiner, along with the following materials:

1× Advanced Electrical Components
3× Sensors

You'll obtain the Sensors directly from the farming route covered in this guide. As for the Advanced Electrical Components, you'll craft them by recycling the materials found in Server Racks and Recording Panels. By breaking down those items in your Level 2 Refiner, you'll generate the Wires and Electrical Components needed to craft them.

With this farming route, you can reliably produce between 20 and 30 Hatch Keys per hour, which is an incredible return considering that amount can easily last you several days of raiding.
