How to find blueprints in loot containers and enemy drops
Blueprints are scattered throughout the game world and can appear in many containers and on defeated enemies. Common sources include:
- Red and green lockers
- Weapon cases and duffel bags
- Golf bags and kitchen cabinets
- Raider stashes and dead raiders/corpses
- Special locked or secured rooms requiring keys
Fallen high-tier ARC enemies and hostile players can drop rare blueprints. Checking containers in high-traffic raid areas will increase your chance of finding valuable blueprints.
Blueprint farming routes for maximum efficiency
Certain farming routes provide reliable access to blueprint caches. Here are key routes:
| Route | Description |
|---|---|
| Dam cache circuit | Start at the southern relay station, sweep three nearby cache spawns within 400 meters, then rotate around the dam structure. Locks and power cells near water treatment buildings enable access to high-tier caches. Loops take 10-12 minutes. |
| Blue Gate Village run | Focus on the Confiscation Room (requires village guard key). Combine this with nearby caches and exit through tunnels to avoid PvP. Ideal for rare blueprint farming. |
| Harvester event | Participating in the Harvester event is the fastest way to get high-grade blueprints like Jupiter and Equalizer weapons. Even failing the event awards some blueprints. |
How to unlock and use blueprints
Once you obtain a blueprint, you need to:
- Select it from your inventory
- Choose “Learn and Consume” to unlock the recipe permanently
- Alternatively, sell duplicate blueprints for 5,000 coins
Unlocking blueprints grants access to craft the item at the appropriate workbench with required materials.
Workshop benches and blueprint categories
Blueprints are tied to different crafting stations, each catering to specific item types. Here is an overview:
| Workbench | Example Blueprints | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gunsmith | Anvil, Bettina, Jupiter | Weapons and weapon upgrades |
| Refiner | Advanced Mechanical Components | Converts components; unlocks high-tier gun parts |
| Explosives Station | Jolt Mine, Explosive Mine, Showstopper | Explosives and grenades |
| Utility Station | Lure Grenade, Light Stick, Snap Hook | Utility items for combat and traversal |
How to manage blueprints effectively
Proper blueprint management involves:
- Storing valuable blueprints in safe inventory slots to avoid loss on death during raids
- Prioritizing unlocking high-tier blueprints from events, missions, and faction rewards
- Building reputation with vendors in your hideout to purchase exclusive blueprints
- Strategically upgrading weapons using blueprint recipes for improved handling, damage, and reload speeds
Notable mission and faction rewards for blueprints
Many blueprints are unlocked naturally by progressing through missions and increasing your faction reputation. They serve as a supplementary way to collect important crafting recipes without relying solely on farming.
Blueprint examples and crafting materials overview
Here is a sample of important blueprints and their material requirements:
| Blueprint | Workshop Level | Recipe Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Anvil | Gunsmith 2 | 5x Mechanical Components, 5x Simple Gun Parts |
| Extended Light Magazine II | Gunsmith 2 | 2x Mechanical Components, 3x Steel Spring |
| Equalizer (energy weapon) | Gunsmith 3 | 3x Magnetic Accelerator, 3x Complex Gun Parts, 1x Queen Reactor |
| Jolt Mine | Explosives Station 2 | 1x Electrical Components, 1x Battery |
| Lure Grenade | Utility Station 2 | 1x Speaker Component, 1x Electrical Components |
Unlocking these blueprints allows crafting powerful gear essential for tougher raids.
How to farm blueprints in ARC Raiders
