Blueprint Field Guide

The complete guide to finding and farming blueprints in Arc Raiders.

What are Blueprints? Blueprints are permanent account-wide unlocks that allow you to craft weapons, gear, and gadgets in Speranza. Once learned, you can craft the item as many times as you want, provided you have the materials. Duplicate blueprints can be sold for ~5,000 coins.

Best Farming Methods

1. High-Value Container Sweeps

The most consistent method. Target weapon cases, ammo boxes, and Raider caches. These containers have higher drop rates for Rare/Epic recipes.

  • Locations: Dense zones like Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City residential areas.
  • Strategy: Use our maps to chain these containers in a single loop. Prioritize locked doors and hidden rooms.

2. Night Residential Runs

Community reports indicate a "Post-Cold Snap" meta where Night Raids in residential zones yield higher blueprint drops.

  • Target: Apartment blocks in Dam and villages in Blue Gate.
  • Focus: Looting dense interiors with many lockers and cabinets.
Pro Tip: Listen for the "Ticking" sound of hidden Raider Caches. They are guaranteed to contain high-value loot.

3. Event Farming

Certain events have curated loot pools with specific blueprint rewards.

  • Harvester: High chance for energy weapons like Equalizer and Jupiter.
  • Hidden Bunker: Final rooms are often loaded with high-tier containers.

4. "One and Done" Rush

A strategy for speed. Load in cheap, sprint to a known high-value cluster, loot, and extract immediately upon finding a blueprint.

  • Goal: Maximize "first finds" per hour rather than full clears.
  • Safety: Always put found blueprints directly into your Safe Pocket.

Common Questions

Do I keep a blueprint if I die?

Only if it is in your Safe Pocket. Otherwise, it drops with your loot and can be stolen.

How many blueprints are there?

Current estimates are around 75 total blueprints, including weapons, mods, and gadgets.

Can I trade blueprints?

There is no official trading system. You can drop them in-raid for a friend to pick up, but be careful of "black market" scams.
