ARC Raiders Buried City Town Hall Key — Location and Loot Breakdown

The Buried City Town Hall Key is a single-use epic key in ARC Raiders.
It unlocks the entire Town Hall building in Buried City — not a single room, not a side office, but a full multi-floor structure with multiple interior spaces.

This is widely considered the strongest key in the game due to sheer scale, container count, and loot volume.

Before anything else:

• Always put the key in your Safe Pocket

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

Once the door is opened, the key is consumed.

How to Get the Buried City Town Hall Key

The Town Hall Key is an epic-quality random drop.

Keys are found more often in residential-heavy areas, simply because those areas contain more searchable objects.

It can drop from:

• residential interiors

• desks, drawers, cabinets

• backpacks and storage containers

• other players

Night Raids

Town Hall benefits heavily from Night Raids.

Loot rolls are stronger at night, and the scale of the building means those improved rolls apply across a large number of containers. If you are committing a Town Hall Key, Night Raids are the most efficient way to use it. Using the Town Hall Key during a daytime raid is possible, but inefficient.

There is no guaranteed route or farm for this key. If you want to avoid RNG and save time, LevelUpper provides ARC Raiders key delivery and in-raid services handled through normal gameplay and extraction.

Where the Town Hall Key Is Used

• Map: Buried City

• Location: Town Hall (center of the map)

The locked door:

• is on the north side of the Town Hall building

• opens directly into the building interior

This is a high-traffic zone with frequent ARC spawns and player movement.

What the Town Hall Building Contains

Opening this key gives you access to the entire Town Hall building.

Building layout:

• multiple floors

• wide interior spaces

• staircases and vertical connections

• zipline access between levels

• broken walls and open interior transitions

You are effectively looting a full administrative complex. Expect sustained movement, backtracking, and frequent exposure while transitioning between rooms.

Container distribution:

• lockers and cabinets across multiple floors

• bags and loose containers

• weapon crates

• grenade crates

• security breach containers (if unlocked via skill tree)

Loot is spread throughout the building, forcing movement and time commitment.

Typical Loot You Can Find

Loot is fully RNG-based, but volume is extremely high.

Common findings include:

• epic and rare items

• weapon blueprints

• weapons and attachments

• crafting materials and components

• valuables and collectibles

• consumables and utility items

Because of the number of containers, this key consistently produces large extract value, even when individual rolls are average.

Final Thoughts & Ranking

The Buried City Town Hall Key is the best key in ARC Raiders.

It offers:

• the largest locked area

• the highest container count

• strong blueprint potential

• massive total loot volume

You should only use this key when:

• you are prepared for a long clear

• you expect player contact

• you can commit to full extraction

If you survive the run, the payoff is unmatched. This is the benchmark key all others are measured against.

Tier Placement

In our ARC Raiders key ranking, the Buried City Town Hall Key is placed in Tier S. Tier S is reserved for keys that define an entire run. The Town Hall Key stands alone due to the sheer size of the building, the number of containers, the time commitment required to clear it, and the extract value it consistently produces. No other key currently offers this level of scale, risk, and payoff in a single unlock.
