ARC Raiders Buried City JKV Employee Access Card — Location and Loot Breakdown

The Buried City JKV Employee Access Card is a single-use key in ARC Raiders. It unlocks a locked room inside the JKV Space Travel building in Buried City.

Before anything else:

• Always put the key in your Safe Pocket

• The locked door has red indicator lights

• Close the door after entering if you don’t want to get pushed

Once the door is opened, the access card is consumed.

How to Get the Buried City JKV Employee Access Card

This key is a random drop.

You can obtain it through normal gameplay by looting:

• residential interiors

• desks, drawers, and storage furniture

• backpacks and containers

• other players

Keys appear more often in amber / orange map zones, simply because those areas contain more interiors and searchable objects.

There is no fixed route or method to force this access card to drop.

If you don’t want to wait for it, LevelUpper provides ARC Raiders key delivery and boosting services, handled entirely in-raid through normal gameplay and extraction.

Night Raids

Night Raids matter for two reasons:

• keys drop more often during Night Raids

• locked rooms opened at Night roll better loot

If you’re spending a single-use key, Night Raids are the correct timing. Opening this room during a daytime raid is simply less efficient.

Where the JKV Employee Access Card Is Used

The access card is used in Buried City, in the New District, inside the JKV Space Travel building.

• Go to New District → Space Travel building

• Look for the JKV sign on the building

• The main entrance is near a bus parked by the door

• Enter and go straight to the stairs

• Climb to Floor 4

• The locked door is on that floor and requires the JKV Employee Access Card

Important notes:

• This is a high-loot building, so expect ARC units inside

• Player traffic is common, especially on Night Raids

• If another player is already in the building, the door can still be unused — you’re just sharing the space

What the Locked Room Contains

The unlocked room is a sealed interior space with multiple searchable points.

Typical loot includes:

• weapon containers

• breachable containers

• storage crates and furniture loot

• crafting materials and components

• consumables and general valuables

Loot is RNG-based. The value of this room comes from container count in a closed space, not a single guaranteed drop.

Final Thoughts & Ranking

The Buried City JKV Employee Access Card is best used when the New District is already part of your route.

The locked room offers a solid amount of searchable loot and is worth opening once you’re there. The main factor to consider is the location: reaching the door means committing to a multi-floor interior in a building that often has ARC presence and player traffic.

This key makes the most sense when:

• you are already moving through the New District

• you are prepared to clear or avoid ARC units inside the building

• you are running a Night Raid and want to add extra value to the route

Tier Placement

In our ARC Raiders key ranking, the Buried City JKV Employee Access Card is placed in Tier B.

Tier B keys offer solid loot volume and reliable value but require interior commitment. The JKV Employee room qualifies due to its enclosed layout, multiple containers, and weapon crates, balanced by the need to clear a multi-floor building with regular ARC and player traffic.
