All ARC Raiders Locked Gate Security Code key locations

The Locked Gate event has returned to ARC Raiders as part of the Cold Snap update, and you can get some fantastic rewards by gaining access to the secret room.

To gain access, you’ll have to find four Security Code keys that are spread all over the Blue Gate map. Finding the keys will be your main task since the rest of the steps are pretty straightforward. If you’re confused about how to find them, this guide will make your life easier.

How to find all Locked Gate Security Codes in ARC Raiders

There are four Locked Gate Security Codes to find. The four keys, along with the Locked Gate room, are all situated in the Blue Gate map. You can find the Security Code keys in any order of your liking. You don’t need to find them all on the same raid, either, given that you manage to return with them (or place them in a Safe Pocket).

The screenshot above has the locations of all four Security Code keys.

The Ancient Fort location has a lot of containers, and the code key will be in any one of them.

Raider’s Refuge is an easier area to search as the containers are fewer in number.

The same also applies to Reinforced Reception.

Pilgrim’s Peak has plenty of searchable containers.

While the Security Code keys are all available in containers, finding them will be dependent on your luck. What you’ll want to do is to patiently go through every container that you can find at the locations. If you’re lucky, you could find the key from the very first container. If you go through all the containers, it’s impossible to miss the Security Code keys.

Once you have all four, head to the Checkpoint POI, and you’ll come across a room requiring all four keys. Enter them to unlock the room and loot everything that you can find inside. We have a detailed guide on how to open the room and what to expect. As always, be careful of other players who might try to ambush and steal your loot.

ARK Survival Ascended‘s Lost Colony DLC has finally been released after a launch delay, and it brings a host of new creatures.

While the list of prehistoric creatures was already vast in the base game, Lost Colony adds to them. This guide will list all the new creatures along with their brief in-game descriptions. As always, I will add to this guide if I come across new names that are part of the DLC but not mentioned here.

Complete list of Lost Colony DLC creatures in ARK Survival Ascended

The theme of the Lost Colony DLC is pretty same as that of the base game. Some of the new creatures are straight from the books of history. Others are mutated monsters that are byproducts of the misuse of technology.

Names	Description
Aureliax	A brand new flying creature, you can use the Aureliax to destroy enemies with gravity effects.
Cryolophosaurus	Deals damage via narcotic sludge, but it can also buff your allies.
Desmodus	The Desmodus uses echolocation to target and damage enemies, and it can be a great option in areas where visibility is low.
Gigadesmodus	This massive creature is an absolute tank and also allows you to place a mobile command center on its back. This is arguably one of the best creatures to find in the Lost Colony expansion.
Gloon	The strange creature fires a laser, and it can make other creatures go into a frenzy and lose self-control.
Gargoyles	Mythical creatures that are made of stone, and they can be extremely dangerous if you aren’t careful.
Malwyn	This is the aggro version of the Veilwuyn, and offers multiple forms of attacks to take down enemies.
Neophytes	Another massive bat-type creature that can absorb a great deal of enemy damage before feeling the effects.
Ossidon	A giant primate that throws sludge balls at enemies. It can deal damage from range.
Revenants	These are corrupted remnants of Thralls and dinosaurs that have been corrupted by the liquid Edmundium.
Solwyn	Similar to Malwyn, it can use ice for different reasons, and can also be used as a mount.
Veilwyn	An Arctic Fox that can teleport (has some other handy uses as well).

Overall, I really love the different creatures that are part of the Lost Colony DLC. Vielwyn is a curious creature that comes in two other forms: Solwyn and Malwyn. There might be more forms that I haven’t discovered yet.

I have always loved gigantic creatures, and it doesn’t get any better than the Gigadesmodus, which is absolutely massive. Taming the beast is a challenge in every sense, and I will have a guide to help you do the same. While I would have loved for the DLC to have more creatures, the different types make up for the lack in quantity.
