Erangel's secret rooms sit behind doors boarded over with a red cross. The key is a world drop, so the run is about knowing which compounds hold a door before you commit to the landing.
The short answer
Erangel has secret rooms behind red-cross boarded doors, opened with a world-spawned Secret Room Key. Keys drop from ordinary floor loot and from glowing pots inside residential compounds. The densest cluster is at Military Base, which also draws the most early fights on the map.

How to find the Secret Room Key
Secret Room Key — random world spawn. Also drops from the glowing pots found inside residential compounds, which most players run straight past.
The Erangel secret room key is the standard world-spawned Secret Room Key, the same item used on the other world-drop maps. Keys are not tied to the room they open, so the search and the run are two separate problems: find a key anywhere on Erangel first, then route to the nearest marked door.
What is inside a secret room on Erangel
Secret rooms hold loot that would otherwise take a care package: level three armour, high-tier rifles and the attachments that go with them. Treat the room as the objective, not the detour — a full clear is usually worth more than two compounds of floor loot. On Erangel the deciding factor is rarely the loot itself but whether you can hold the ground around the door long enough to carry it out.
Reading the map above
Every numbered pin on the Erangel secret room map above is a room marked on the source plate, positioned exactly where the source map places it. Drag the map to move around it, scroll to zoom in, and click a pin to highlight its row in the list — or hover a row to find its pin. The full table below carries the same data and works with JavaScript switched off.
Strategy on Erangel
Erangel's secret rooms sit behind doors boarded over with a red cross. The key is a world drop, so the run is about knowing which compounds hold a door before you commit to the landing. Doors stay open once unlocked, so the room announces itself to anyone nearby. Clear the compound before you open anything, keep one player watching the entrance, and plan an exit that is not the door you came in through.
Most of Erangel's rooms sit central of the map, so a drop on that side puts several within one rotation. All 14 are standard secret rooms opened the same way.
Frequently asked questions
Where do Secret Room Keys spawn on Erangel?
Keys are a world drop. They appear in ordinary floor loot anywhere on the map, and inside the glowing pots found in residential compounds. They are not tied to the building they open.
How many secret rooms does Erangel have?
Military Base holds a cluster of three, with further single rooms spread across the larger named compounds. Room counts shift between patches, which is why every entry here carries a patch stamp.
Can I open more than one room with one key?
No. The key is consumed when the door opens. Carry a second key if you plan to hit another room.
Where are most of the Erangel secret rooms?
The heaviest concentration sits central of the map. The sector table above gives the full split, and the interactive map shows every marked position.
Do PUBG Erangel secret rooms appear in Ranked?
No. Secret rooms are available in Normal and Custom matches only, on Erangel as on every other map.
