Riven Tides is the sixth map in ARC Raiders and it dropped on April 28, 2026. Half of the locked-room loot in the game now lives here. Eleven keycards in total — eight stacked across the four floors of Hotel Panorama Azzurro, plus three industrial keycards out at the Stacking Yard and the Port Authority Building.
What's new in Patch 1.26.0
- Secure Storage Keycard added. Epic-rarity drop, used in the Port Authority building. Pairs with the existing Classified Records keycard for a dual-room run.
- IL Toro shotgun buffed. The three guaranteed Lv.3 shotguns in Room 107 are now the strongest close-quarter weapon in the game. Worth grabbing one even on budget runs.
- Chemical drops added to Room 205. Major vendor-gold boost — single chemical stacks now sell for 6,000+ gold.
How Riven Tides keycards work
Same rules as regular keys: drop pool is residential drawers, admin desks, and the occasional player kill. Single-use. Each keycard opens exactly one door. Locked rooms reset between raids, so finding the same card twice means you can hit the same room twice for fresh loot.
One twist on Riven Tides: Room 107 contains the keycard for Room 208. There's a small safe under the bed in 107, and on your first visit it's guaranteed to drop the 208 keycard. That's why every guide tells you to hit 107 first — you get a free chain into the biggest locked suite on the map.
Look at the door before you burn the card. If another raider has been here this raid, the door is already unlocked and the loot is gone. A wasted card slot costs you the next high-tier room.

The 4 best keycard chains
Smart raiders chain keycards together to clear multiple rooms in one approach. These are the four best chain routes ranked by gold-per-minute.
The 107 → 208 elite run
Tier SThe highest gold-per-minute keycard route in the game. Room 107 gives you three Lv.3 shotguns, an Osprey, and the 208 keycard from its under-bed safe. Walk upstairs, clear the 208 suite. This is the chain every Riven Tides player should learn first.
Solo time
4 minutes
Duo time
90 seconds
Value
40,000–80,000 vendor gold
The west-wing double (102 + 103)
Tier BTwo side-by-side doors at the end of the west-wing hallway on Floor 1. Quietest dual-keycard run on the map — easy mid-tier loot, fast extract via the west hatches. Perfect for budget loadouts.
Solo time
90 seconds
Duo time
60 seconds
Value
10,000–19,000 vendor gold
The east tower chain (311 → 404)
Tier AClimb the east-tower stairwell from Floor 3 to Floor 4 and clear both rooms on the way up. Extract through the rooftop hatch — no backtrack through the lobby. Saves a full hotel re-approach and pulls penthouse-tier loot.
Solo time
3 minutes
Duo time
90 seconds
Value
37,000–72,000 vendor gold
The Port Authority dual (Classified + Secure)
Tier ABoth rooms in the same building, same corridor, same turret. Clear the turret once with Classified Records, then push Secure Storage immediately. North-map run — extract via the Port Authority second-floor hatch most players don't know about.
Solo time
3 minutes
Duo time
90 seconds
Value
45,000–85,000 vendor gold

The best keycard run on Riven Tides
If you only have time for one keycard per raid, it's Room 107. Three Lv.3 IL Toro shotguns, an Osprey sniper rifle, and the 208 keycard inside the under-bed safe. The whole clear takes about ninety seconds if uncontested.
If you want the optimal chain: 107 → 208. Open 107 on Floor 1, grab the 208 keycard from the under-bed safe, walk up to Floor 2, clear 208's five-room suite. Total time around four minutes solo, ninety seconds duo. This is the highest gold-per-minute keycard run in the game right now, with combined loot values hitting 80,000+ on good rolls.
The hotel does get camped though. People know what's in 107. Push with smokes if you're solo, take the west stairwell instead of the lobby elevators, and don't bring expensive gear unless you're confident on extraction routes — the rooftop hatch and the Seaside Elevator are your two best exits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many keycards are there in Riven Tides?
11 total: eight inside Hotel Panorama Azzurro (Rooms 102, 103, 107, 113, 205, 208, 311, 404), the Crane House Keycard for the Stacking Yard, the Classified Records Keycard for the Port Authority Building, and the Secure Storage Keycard added in Patch 1.26.0.
Where do you find Hotel Keycard No. 208?
Open Room 107 first. There's a safe under the bed and on your first visit it's guaranteed to contain the 208 keycard. After that, it becomes a rare scavenge drop.
What is the best keycard room in Riven Tides?
Room 107 has the best efficiency (three Lv.3 IL Toro shotguns, an Osprey sniper, and the 208 keycard for free on first visit). Room 208 has the highest raw loot total because it's a five-room suite. If you only get one card per raid, 107 is the better pick — it unlocks 208 for you.
Are keycards single-use?
Yes. Open the door and the card is consumed. Locked rooms reset between raids though, so if you find the same card in a later raid you can hit the same room again for fresh loot.
Do other players see when a keycard room is open?
If somebody else has used the matching keycard this raid, the door will already be open and the loot will be looted. Always look at the door before burning your card.
What's the highest gold-per-minute keycard run on Riven Tides?
The 107 → 208 chain. Open Room 107 (three Lv.3 shotguns, an Osprey, plus the 208 card from the under-bed safe), then walk upstairs and clear the 208 suite. Total time ~4 minutes solo, ~90 seconds duo. Combined loot value: 40,000–80,000 vendor gold.
Can I run multiple keycards in one raid?
Yes — you can carry and use as many keycards as you can find. The smart plays are the 107→208 chain (Floor 1 to Floor 2 in central wing), the 102+103 dual-pair (side-by-side doors on Floor 1 west), and the 311→404 east tower chain (Floor 3 to Floor 4).
