ARC Raiders Into Thin Air requires returning safely through a Raider Hatch. Single source: the published method brings a Raider Key to open that extraction route.

  1. Obtain the extraction key and check its current description.
  2. Put it in the loadout you will actually deploy with. Owning a key in storage does not place it in your raid inventory.
  3. Locate a Raider Hatch and use its interaction.
  4. Complete the safe return before checking the award.

This is different from opening a locked loot room. The purpose of the key matters, not simply whether an item has “Key” in its name.

UNSURE: current trader price, purchase cooldown, level gate, recipe, squad credit and platform-specific trigger behavior. Launch-era numerical key advice has not been reconciled here. Online play is required; time and difficulty remain unscored. Hizzle suggests retaining a normal fallback exit plan while learning the hatch location.
