RB-ST Key Location in Escape from Tarkov

Firstly, the RB-ST Key has no hard spawn in Tarkov. It is an extremely rare item to come by. Your best bet however, would be to search the jackets, pockets and bags of dead Scavs. But if you want to make things easier for yourself, then simply purchase the key from the Flea Market in Tarkov. The RB-ST Key was once a very expensive key on the market costing close to 1 million Roubles. Luckily, its price has now gone down considerably. Last we checked, it was available to buy on the Flea Market for 64,500₽

Once you have the key, you’d want to head to the Repair Centre on the Reserve map. Once you’re here, enter the long line of Garages. You will see a cargo truck inside and a locked rebar door.
