Deston Secret Rooms

Deston’s secret rooms sit behind Security Doors. Update 18.2 introduced both the doors and the Security Keys needed to unlock them, with access to high-tier items behind the doors. Use the marked map below to plan which room to visit.

Under Update 18.2, keys spawned around Deston and were consumed on use, although one key could unlock an entire group of doors. Opened Security Doors could not be closed or relocked, so a visit could leave a visible sign for other players.

How to open a Deston secret room

1. Find a Security Key

Look for a Security Key as you loot. Update 18.2 made the keys world-spawn around Deston, so finding one is the first step if you intend to open a locked Security Door yourself.

Keys also stacked in your inventory under the Update 18.2 rules. If you pick up more than one, you can carry them together and decide where to use them during the match. Keeping track of how many you have matters because using a key consumes it.

2. Take the key to a Security Door

With a key in your inventory, head to a Security Door and use it to unlock the way. Update 18.2 specified that the key was consumed after one use, so it could not be used again later. However, Security Doors could be grouped, and one key could unlock an entire group. Doors in that group did not each need a separate key.

3. Check the items inside

Update 18.2 described Security Doors as access to high-tier items. Once you have opened the way, check what is there against the equipment you are already carrying and decide what is worth taking before you move on.

The door is part of the decision too. Update 18.2 said an opened Security Door could not be closed or relocked. An open door may alert another player that someone has been there, so stay aware of your surroundings when entering and leaving.

The same sign is useful to notice when approaching a room yourself. If the door is already open, consider that another player may have visited. The open door tells you something about the room’s state, but it does not tell you where that player is now.

Which match modes use Security Keys?

Update 18.2 listed the Security Door feature for Normal Matches, Custom Matches and PC Sandbox Mode. It excluded Custom Match Esports Mode. That distinction matters when you are planning around a key: the same map can be played under different mode rules.

Update 23.1 added Deston to the Season 23 Ranked map pool but excluded Security Keys from Ranked play. Under those Ranked rules, the key-based route described above was not available, even though Deston was in the map pool.

Check the rules for the mode and update you are playing before relying on a Security Key. A plan that works under the original Normal Match rules should not automatically be carried over to Ranked.

Deston Security Door checklist

• Look for a world-spawned Security Key while looting, as described in Update 18.2.
• Keep track of the keys in your inventory; the update allowed them to stack.
• Choose when to unlock a door: using a key consumes it.
• Remember that one key can unlock an entire group of Security Doors under the Update 18.2 rules.
• Check the high-tier items inside and stay alert around the open door.
• Check your match mode before building your plan around a key.
