The Locked Gate event on the Blue Gate map in ARC Raiders offers players an exciting opportunity to uncover high-tier loot and rare blueprints. To access the valuable rewards hidden within the underground complex, players across the entire lobby must coordinate efforts to locate security keys and unlock the main gates. Understanding where to search and how to complete the activation process ensures your squad extracts with maximum loot.
Understanding the Locked Gate Event Location
The core objective of the event centers around the central Checkpoint structure situated near the middle of the Blue Gate map. Atop this complex sits the Gate Control Room, which houses four distinct computer terminals. Finding this room is critical because it serves as the activation point required to open the massive blast doors leading into the underground tunnels.
Unlike standard raids where these subterranean pathways remain accessible, the event locks off all alternative underground entrances. Players must focus entirely on opening the main Checkpoint gate to access the high-value interior zones. Identifying the layout early gives your squad a major strategic advantage when planning rotation routes across the map.
Where to Find the Four Security Codes
Unlocking the main gate requires acquiring four security codes scattered across designated points of interest on the outskirts of the map. These key items spawn inside random containers located at Ancient Fort, Pilgrim's Peak, Raider's Refuge, and Reinforced Reception. Searching every chest, locker, and bin within these locations is essential since key spawns are not static.
Because the entire lobby can contribute codes, players can work alongside other Raiders to speed up the collection process. Visiting Pilgrim's Peak requires extra caution due to heavy enemy patrols like Rocketeers guarding the perimeter. Meanwhile, Ancient Fort contains hazardous landmines that demand careful navigation while looting containers.
How to Activate the Terminals and Open the Gate
Once you or another Raider retrieves a security code, head directly to the Gate Control Room located above the Checkpoint. Inside, insert the code into its corresponding wall terminal to register the key. Checking the terminals allows you to see which security codes have already been submitted by other players in the match.
When all four computer terminals are activated, the massive blast doors automatically open to reveal the underground area. Surrounding squads will immediately notice the gate opening, so expect intense competition as everyone rushes inside. Maintaining a defensive posture around the entrance helps secure your passage into the Security Wing.
Claiming Exclusive Rewards and High-Tier Loot
Venturing inside the newly opened underground complex exposes players to significantly improved loot tables. The area offers higher chances of dropping rare weapons, valuable crafting materials, and sought-after equipment blueprints. Among these prizes, the highly coveted Bobcat weapon blueprint serves as the primary chase reward during the event.
Although the underground Security Wing offers the highest drop rate, the Bobcat blueprint can occasionally spawn in containers across the entire map during the event. After gathering your spoils, navigate toward the nearest extraction point before hostile Raiders or patrolling ARC forces overwhelm your team. Efficient extraction guarantees you safely keep all the valuable blueprints and gear recovered from the run.
