The Unknown Key can be found at Customs by heading toward the hole in the wall near the RUAF Roadblock while moving towards the Crack House or Fortress. In a large bush, you should find the body of the messenger. Interact with it to retrieve the key.
If the key isn’t available on the body, it implies another player has already claimed it and is undertaking the same task. In this scenario, proceed to the cargo location and wait for them to unlock the door.
Locating the Valuable Cargo
