ARC Raiders Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key — Location and Loot Breakdown

The Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key is a single-use key in ARC Raiders.
It unlocks a locked security room located inside the Lobby / Metro Station area on the Stella Montis map.

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 key is consumed.

How to Get the Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key

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 zones because these areas contain more interiors and searchable objects. Over time, this is where most keys naturally come from.

There is no route or trick to force this key to drop.

If you don’t want to rely on RNG, LevelUpper provides ARC Raiders key delivery and boosting services, handled fully in-raid through normal gameplay and extraction.

Night Raids

Night Raids matter here.

• keys drop more often during Night Raids

• locked rooms opened at night roll better loot

If you plan to use a single-use key inside Stella Montis, Night Raids are the correct timing. Opening this room during a daytime raid is simply less efficient.

Where the Security Checkpoint Key Is Used

The key is used on the Stella Montis map, inside the Lobby / Metro Station area.

How to reach the locked room:

• enter the lobby area near the metro station

• move toward the security checkpoint section

• breach the outer door if needed

• the locked Security Checkpoint door is inside the security room

There are multiple ways to approach this area, but it’s a high-traffic interior zone with ARC units and frequent player movement.

What You Get Inside

When we evaluate keys in ARC Raiders, we look at room layout, container density, and container quality.

The Security Checkpoint room is a compact but dense interior, designed like a real security control space. Containers are placed close together, making it quick to clear once inside.

Inside, you’ll typically find:

• multiple searchable security containers

• drawers and cabinets

• bags and storage containers

• crafting materials and components

• consumables and utility items

• occasional weapons or epic items

Loot is fully RNG-based.
The value of this room comes from having several containers concentrated in a tight, enclosed space, which makes looting fast and controlled.

Once the room is fully looted, the interaction is complete.

Final Thoughts & Ranking

The Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key is a strong interior key when it fits your route.

The room is easy to clear once opened, but getting there means moving through a busy lobby area with ARC presence and player traffic.

This key makes sense when:

• you are already routing through the Stella Montis lobby

• you are running a Night Raid

• you want a quick, enclosed loot stop without deep routing

If the lobby area is already part of your run, opening the Security Checkpoint is a clean and efficient decision. If not, the key is usually better saved for a run where Stella Montis interiors are the main focus.

Tier Placement

In our ARC Raiders key ranking, the Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key is placed in Tier B.

Tier B keys provide reliable value when they align with your route. This room offers strong container density and fast clearing in a controlled interior, but the surrounding lobby risk and limited scale prevent it from defining an entire run on its own.
