ARC Raiders Riven Tides Guide: Where to Use Every Hotel Keycard
Before you sprint blindly into Panorama Azzurro and catch a Ferro round to the dome, you need to know exactly which doors your keycards open.
The Riven Tides map drops you right onto the beach, and the massive Panorama Azzurro hotel complex is the undisputed hotspot for top-tier weaponry. Because this building has the highest concentration of locked rooms in the entire game, every rival raider is flocking here to fill their stash. You are not just dealing with the standard mechanical ARCs. You are walking into a meat grinder of player-versus-player ambushes. I am going to walk you through exactly how to prepare your loadout and where to find every single room before someone steals your loot.
Pre-Raid Loadout Strategy
Do not walk through the front lobby doors with a basic kit. You need a highly specialized loadout designed for smash-and-grab operations.
Securing Your Pockets
Make sure to equip a augment with plenty safepockets. If things go sideways and another raider drops you, those safepockets ensure you still walk away with your most valuable finds. Bring your most reliable weapons for close-quarters firefights (Personally I’d recommend a bobcat or the venny), but do not forget your utility items. A photoelectric cloak is absolutely mandatory to slip past the swarms of ARCs patrolling the hallways. To guarantee you do not get pinned down trying to leave, pack a hatch key. Having that key on hand allows for a rapid extraction the exact second your bags get heavy.

Navigating Panorama Azzurro
The hotel complex sits on the far West side of the Riven Tides map. Once you breach the main entrance, your primary traversal tools are sitting right in front of you.
Look immediately to your left to find a zipline, flanked by multiple staircases. Use these to get off the ground floor fast. From there, you are simply hunting for the red numbers painted above the door frames. Keep your head on a swivel and check your corners before unlocking anything.
The Room 311 Anomaly
Most of the hotel follows a logical layout, but the developers decided to hide Room 311 completely off the standard path.
If you take the main entrance ziplines looking for 311, you will just wander into a dead end and likely get ambushed. You have to approach this room from the outside. Head to the East side of the hotel complex. Look up and find the tall tower with the funky architecture. Run to the base of that specific tower and kick open the door (Not literally, pls don’t kick your screen). This puts you on a hidden Eastern staircase. Push up to the third floor, and Room 311 will be staring right at you.
