Location & Use
Where to find
Safe under the bed in Room 107 (guaranteed first visit). Rare scavenge after.
Where to use
Central-east Floor 2. Multi-room suite — by far the largest locked area in the game.
Hotel Panorama Azzurro, Floor 2, Central-east
What's Inside
- Multiple high-tier weapon spawns across rooms
- Blueprint chance (one of the most consistent blueprint farms in the game)
- Container-dense — every drawer and locker is worth checking
- Possible Lv.3 gear pieces
- Materials and chemicals stack in volume
The Run
Room 208 isn't a room — it's a five-room suite. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, living area, and a connecting hallway. Every container is loot-eligible, which means a full clear takes longer than any other locked area on Riven Tides. This is the biggest single-card payoff in the game.
Solo runs work but bring a friend if you can. Two of you can split rooms, watch the corridor, and extract together. Solo takes about three minutes to fully strip; duo takes ninety seconds. Trio is overkill — the suite isn't large enough to coordinate three people efficiently.
The blueprint chance here is the best on the map. Not guaranteed, but consistent enough that 208 has become the top blueprint farm now. Hit it back-to-back if you can. Container priority for blueprints: the bedroom dresser and the living-room cabinet are the two most reliable spawns.
Best entry: come in via Floor 1 stairwell rather than the lobby elevators. The elevators get camped because they're a chokepoint. The west stairwell is usually empty after the first ten minutes of a raid because most players have already cleared their early Floor 1 runs and moved on.
Pair this with the 107 run for the optimal chain. 107 gives you the 208 card for free on first visit, plus three Lv.3 shotguns and an Osprey. Total gold-per-minute on the 107→208 chain is the highest in ARC Raiders right now.
Listen for the kitchenette door creaking — there's a small audio bug that sometimes triggers when other raiders are on the floor above (Floor 3). Patched? Maybe by now. If you hear it, take cover and check your map before continuing the loot run.
Recommended Loadout
Big run, big loadout — bring everything:
- Lv.3 weapon (long-range to cover the suite hallway)
- Heavy armor
- Two smokes, one flash
- Big backpack — you'll fill it
When to Attempt
Same window as 107 — best in the first 3 minutes or after 15 minutes. The middle of the raid is when the hotel is most dangerous and the suite takes too long to clear safely under pressure.
Verdict
The single biggest loot payoff in ARC Raiders right now. Always worth the slot. Pair with 107 for the elite run.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get Hotel Keycard 208?
Open Room 107 — there's a safe under the bed with the keycard inside (guaranteed on your first visit). After that it's a rare scavenge drop.
Is 208 the best room on Riven Tides?
Yes, in raw loot terms. Five rooms, container-dense, consistent blueprint chance. Only downside is the time it takes to strip — you're exposed for longer than any other locked room.
Can I solo Room 208?
Yes, but it takes about three minutes. Duo is much faster and safer because one person can watch the corridor.
Which container has the best blueprint chance?
The bedroom dresser and the living-room cabinet are the two most reliable blueprint spawns. Hit those first if you're rushed.
