A patrol car key could be a source of amazing loot for you. ARK Raiders if you manage to find this rare item at all.
Once you find the key, it will allow you to access a place that would otherwise remain locked. Unlocking a location will allow you to add valuable loot to your in-game inventory. Let's look at where you can find the key that opens the patrol car and where to use it once you find it.
How to get the patrol car key in ARC Raiders
Like all keys/access cards, the Patrol Car Key appears randomly in residential areas. However, two areas appear to have a better chance of success. One of these two locations is the Ruby Residence buildings on the west side of the Dam battlefield.

There are many buildings and containers in this area that can be looted. If you're lucky, you may find the key to the patrol car at this location.

Another great location is the research and administration building in the middle of the Dam battlefield. Just like in Ruby Residence, you will find a variety of containers on each floor. Look through them all carefully to potentially find a key (and in particular one that will allow you to access the patrol car key).

The key to the patrol car can also be obtained by completing the quest “Armored Transport”. This is a guaranteed reward, but it only works once.
Where to use the patrol car key in ARC Raiders
To use the patrol car key, you need to go to Headhouse. The main house is located in the Blue Gate area, near the Warehouse complex. First you need to get to the place I marked in the screenshot below. To get to the patrol car, we will have to go below the surface.

Climb the stairs and go down several levels. You will come across a zipline. Follow the zipline to the end and you will see a highway with many vehicles. The patrol car can be located anywhere in this location, and it is random for each raid. Look around until you find a patrol car, then use the key from your inventory to access the loot.
Warning: The area around the patrol car is heavily contaminated Enemies of the ARC. Use extreme caution before and after searching your vehicle with the key.
