For new players and experienced veterans, a list of all the reserve keys available will no doubt be of service. 

Tarkov is a brutal shooter, featuring PvP environments, forcing players to consider how much they carry, what they loot, and the best routes to go through in order to complete objectives. In particular, keys are an incredibly powerful tool for experienced players, guaranteeing loot in your raids. These keys also increase your chances of survival by unlocking new paths or extractions throughout the maps—but, of course, be careful how many you take into any raids.

Escape from Tarkov keys can be a sound investment due to their popularity. If you’re new to a map, make sure you choose your keys carefully.
