The Pendola Pass Train Station Key in ARC Raiders opens a small loot room inside Almatera Station, the train station next to the Fallen Emperor on Pendola Pass. The door is easy to miss because it’s tucked behind a reception desk. You have to vault the counter to see it.

Quick answer: Enter Almatera Station from the west side, vault the reception desk to the right of the ticket machines, turn left behind the ticket machine wall, and unlock the metal double door.


Pendola Pass Train Station Key door location at Almatera Station

Pendola Pass unlocks after you’ve played 25 rounds, so you’ll need that many raids before you can reach the door. Once the map is open, here’s the route.

Drop into Pendola Pass and head for Almatera Station. On the map it’s marked in the Almatera Village area, right beside the Fallen Emperor, the giant downed walker stuck in the snow.

Skip the main gate on the east side next to the rails. Walk around the building and go in through the west entrance instead.
In the lobby, look for the small reception desk under the “INFORMAZIONI TURISTICHE” sign, just to the right of the ticket machines. Vault over the counter into the office area behind it.
Move through the broken office partitions and turn left, behind the wall that holds the ticket machines. The locked metal double door is there, with a red light glowing above it.
Walk up to the door and use the Unlock prompt. The key is consumed and the door opens into the loot room.

You’re at the right door if the interaction prompt reads Unlock and asks for the Pendola Pass Train Station Key by name. A 0/1 counter on that prompt means the key isn’t in your inventory for this raid.


Seal the room with a Door Blocker

The room is tiny, so clearing it is quick. Once you’ve opened it, though, anyone nearby can walk in behind you and pick it clean. Placing a Door Blocker on the door as soon as you’re inside keeps other Raiders out while you loot.

The Door Blocker is a Common quick-use item that locks large metal doors. It weighs 0.2, stacks up to three, and Apollo sells it for 810 Coins.

Train Station loot room containers and drops

Raiders working on Outpost and Research Station upgrades come here for the blueprints. Positions below are given from the doorway looking in.

The cabinets often roll the Stiletto Blueprint or the Rascal Blueprint, along with random Augment and Design Blueprints. The extra drawers don’t always appear, but when they do they can hold Snap Hooks and Wolfpack grenades.

Stiletto is a semi-automatic rifle that starts with a 10-round magazine and grows to 16 at level IV. It’s accurate and easy to control early in a string of shots, but recoil builds if you keep firing.

Rascal is a single-shot launcher whose explosive rounds only go off when they hit ARC. Its ARC armor penetration is rated Very Strong. Tian Wen sells Rascal I for 21,000 Coins, so pulling the blueprint here saves a lot.

Wolfpack splits into homing missiles that track ARC within 100m, dealing 166 damage across 12 hits. It sells for 6,000 Coins if you’d rather cash it in.

Where the Pendola Pass Train Station Key drops

There’s no guaranteed spawn for the key. It’s a random drop, so the best you can do is loot the places where keys are most likely to roll.

  • Housing buildings around Old Town on Pendola Pass, the area most tied to this key.
  • Any point of interest tagged with the Security or Housing loot categories.
  • Snow Shelters that open during Flash Freeze weather events, which give keys at a high rate.

Snow Shelters are also good for base upgrade materials. Their containers often hold Hand Drills, Epoxy Buckets, Laser Levels, and Insulation Rolls, so a Flash Freeze run can cover both the key hunt and your upgrade list.
