The Cycle: Frontier Guide: Where To Use the Armory Key
/
The first map in The Cycle: Frontier called Bright Sands is filled with locked doors that can only be accessed with the right key. If you happen to pick up the Armory Key you’re in luck as it’s considered one of the most valuable keys to pick up for Bright Sands as it unlocks a room filled with valuable goodies.
Where to find the Armory Key
Keys can be found in almost all containers but based on what we’ve experienced there’s a higher chance to find a key in containers such as briefcases, jackets, and safes, so look thoroughly in each area. There’s also a chance to get keys for other maps, so don’t be surprised if you do find an Armory key in one of your Crescent Falls. You can also earn an Armory key as you progress through the faction missions as Korolev will give you one when completing the Expensive Taste mission While the ICA will give you reward you with one when completing the Never Give up Part 2 mission.

Where can you use the Armory key in The Cycle: Frontier
The Armory key can be used in a container found at the west side of the camp in the Jungle area of Bright Falls. Once you find it just go up the stairs and unlock the room. It’s one of the best locked room in the first map in terms of valuable loot but also the most dangerous as you’ll come across Marauders and elite Rattlers and Striders. Keep an eye out as you won’t be the only one hoping to snag what is inside, so make sure you’re prepared for a fight.
This locked room isn’t within a structure like the locked server room in Comms Tower as this one is out in the open, making it more risky than other rooms. Once inside, you’ll find a fair amount of consumable containers and two weapon caches. If you’re lucky, you can find as high as an exotic weapon in this room, which is why many take the risk of heading there if they find an Armory key.
Most of the time there are elite creatures patrolling near this locked room so it will be tough to get in without alerting those nearby. You can run in, close the door and loot to your heart's content, but with all that commotion, just pray there isn’t a player nearby that can ruin your trip, so be extra careful when approaching this one.
Keep in mind that keys in The Cycle: Frontier have durability, which reduces by one each time you use it on a locked door. For the Armory key, thankfully it has high durability as each key can unlock the armory room twelve times.
