How to Use Keys
First, Get a Key
Key rooms can be unlocked using a specific key. They can be purchased from traders or the market, and can also be found in supply spots during raids.

Unlock Key Rooms
If you have a key, you can enter the corresponding room. Inside key rooms, there are supply spots, and you may obtain valuable items.
Keys Can Be Sold at High Prices
Since there's a chance to get valuable items, keys are generally in high demand. However, it's pointless if you can't return after opening a key room. If you're not confident about going to key rooms in hot zones, consider selling them.
Notes on Selling
Once a key is used even once, it cannot be sold on the market. If you are considering selling it on the market, keep it unused. However, even if used, it can still be sold to traders.
