Arid All Key Locations

Guide including all obtainable keys and their corresponding unlocks on the Arid map.
Important note: This guide is for official Arid only. Arid Reborn is a fanmade remake of the map not included in this guide. I might make an Arid Reborn guide in the future.

SOVIET KEYS ORDER----------------------------------

Note: The order can be altered a bit due to the new key locations. You can get AG-17, AG-18 and AG-19 keys all from the tunnel mines. This means the RS2 key can now be skipped, depending on where you want to get your keys.

AG-17 Key

The AG-17 key is located inside a small building in the south-western part of Kahramaan Airfield. It's on top of a table, behind a sealed metal door, which requires a Rescue Saw or Explosives (such as grenades, charges or a LAW) to open.

AG-17 is the first part of the underground bunker complex with some nice military loot, but it's really dark inside so I recommend you get NVG first.

AG-17 Layout + RS2 Key

Once you get into AG-17, you can get your hands on the RS2 key which is on top of a table down the main hall right after the staircase from the Tamara Complex entrance.

RS2 is located on top of the Tamara Complex radar dish and contains some loot and the next key.

AG-18 Layout + AG-19 & SACR1 Keys

AG-19 key is very easy to get, as it's located on top of a table inside AG-18 not too far from the AG-19 entrances. You can also get it from a shelf right in front of the standalone AG-19 entrance.

AG-19 is the final part of the underground bunker and is also a deadzone so get yourself a gasmask before going in there. It includes top tier gear and is essential for further progression on the map.

SACR-1 key is on top of a different table also inside AG-18, not too far from the AG-19 key.

SACR-1 is a small additional loot room inisde the dorms at Kahramaan Airfield.

SACR2 is also a loot room at Kahramaan Airfield, located in the same building as the AG-17 key. SACR2 is more valuable than SACR1 since it contains the final Soviet key.

NEW KEY LOCATIONS

On 20th June 2024, 5 6 new key locations were added:
These new key locations provide an alternative way to get the Soviet keys, the old key locations remain unchanged and can be obtained as usual. Since now there are key duplicates on the map, be aware that if you pick up a key, it will be assigned to you and will disappear from all of its locations. (You can't pick up the same key twice, it wont appear anywhere again)

New key locations:

• AG-17 Key in the tunnel mines
  
• AG-17 Key in Shalaal water station
  (Note to self: add missing Ag17 key in abu)
  
• AG-18 Key in the tunnel mines
  
• AG-19 Key in the tunnel mines
  
• AG-19 Key in AG-18

The 2 sealed rooms inside the Mines now contain AG-17, AG-18 and AG-19 keys. One of the rooms has the AG-18 key, while the second one has both AG-17 and AG-19 keys. Both rooms are sealed with metal doors so you need a Rescue Saw or Explosives to get in.

[Sergeant Lucas]

i opened a sealed room on the bottom floor and found an entrance to the old bunker but no key

[bregasjermonster]

I found the old bunker key in one of the sealed room you need a saw for inside the palace

[Czesław]

I might make it once i get the will to actually do it, no promises tho

[dslicckest1]

Well, it WOULD be nice if you made an Arid Reborn guide. no pressure, though

[Czesław]

Thats from arid reborn right? This guide is for the original Arid only, reborn is a fanmade remake

[ejack150]

what about the old bunker key?

[Faust]

it was a conflict with my mods thank you for the help and have a great rest of your day

[Czesław]

Most likely a mod ID conflict, unsubscribe or turn off all workshop subs except arid and then launch it and see if anything changes

[Faust]

im play the map and some of the doors are missing and non of the original loot is there like B2 does not have the briefcases any ideas

[Czesław]

Damn I didnt catch that, gonna add it later
