One of the most interesting interactions is the ability to farm something in Tarkov Arena and turn it in for something useful in the base Escape from Tarkov game. One of the most popular ones is Shatun’s Hideout Key, which is farmed in Tarkov Arena and used in the base Escape from Tarkov game. Here’s to get the Shatun’s Hideout Key in Escape from Tarkov and get those Yellow Keycards.

Where to Get Shatun’s Hideout Key in Escape from Tarkov

Getting the Shatun’s HIdeout Key is both simple and complicated at the same time. The reason it is simple is that you can directly buy it from Ref in Escape from Tarkov. What makes it tedious is that the currency used to buy it from Ref uses Lega Medals.

You can only get these Lega Medals in Escape from Tarkov: Arena, which is their other standalone game. These games are connected, and you can transfer items in Escape from Tarkov: Arena to the base Escape from Tarkov game. To get Lega Medals, you have to be both lucky and good at the same time.

In Escape from Tarkov: Arena, you’ll eventually get some daily and weekly quests, which work and reset the same way as the base game. Some of these daily and weekly quests may give you Lega Medals as a reward. It is rare, but it happens. Once you get one, you should finish the quest right away and transfer the Lega Medals to the base game.

Grab the Lega Medals from Ref using the messenger tab (the interface where you collect the rewards from tasks). Use these Lega Medals to buy Shatun’s Hideout Key from Ref. There might be occasions when the key isn’t available for sale, but you only have to wait until it shows up. Ref’s goods for sale always refresh multiple times in a day.
