The Cycle: Frontier Guide - Where To Use the Skeleton 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 Skeleton Key, here’s a quick guide showing you where to use it and the kind of loot that you’ll find in the room.
Where to find the Skeleton 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.

Where can you use the Skeleton Key in The Cycle: Frontier
The Skeleton Key can be used in the Swamp Camp, which is located southwest in the Bright Sands Map. One of the ICA structures in that area has the locked room you’re looking for, and it contains one weapon cache, multiple safes, equipment boxes, and a jacket worth checking. It’s really hard to miss as it’s the only structure with an actual room as everything else in the scamp is ruined and open for anybody to enter freely, even creatures.
This is one locked room that’s worth checking each time you’re near the Swamp area simply because of the weapon cache found inside. If you’re lucky, you can get an uncommon weapon or higher, so worth the detour. The problem is, the Swamp Camp tends to be a busy location for players just dropping in, so expect a fight when checking the area. Tread carefully as there are Striders and Rattlers roaming the area.
Keys in The Cycle: Frontier each have a durability, which reduces each time it’s used to unlock the right door.
Keep in mind that each use of the key will reduce its durability by one, meaning you have a number of times to use the item before it breaks permanently.
Some keys have different endurance than others. For the Skeleton Key, each one has twelve uses.
