^ so if you fail the mission on purpose at the 20 min mark, do you still keep the key?

Yes, you still do. Since DE already put a stop to the abort-mission exploit, this is the only workaround to it. The only downside is, all the loot you picked up is gone and there would be no bonus XP given (but regular XP gain will remain).

'...but the host must abort the mission. and you don't get any goodies u find nor exp.'

I assume you guys already know how the servers pick a host once you start a mission? There is a chance that the player with the key will not be chosen to host, I'm not 100% sure it's safe to abort if that indeed happens. BUT, if you're the player with the key and at the same time hosting, you absolutely should not abort the mission. If you're in a party, you should make this clear to each of your teammates.

Take note that the only time is it safe to abort is when you haven't completed the objective (for Survival, if you still haven't reached the 5 min mark). Once you already reached or completed the objective, the only workaround is failing the mission on purpose.
