Quick overview of Looting Mk.3 (Survivor)

This augment is ideal if you like to loot heavily and survive long enough to extract with a full load. The 80 kg limit lets you carry a lot of goop and gear, while the three safe pockets protect your most valuable items if you die.​

How to get the Survivor augment blueprint

The blueprint for Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor) drops as a rare loot item during raids, so there’s no guaranteed way to get it in a single run. However, some locations and strategies can improve your chances of finding it.​

Location 1: Reinforced Reception on The Blue Gate map

Start by making your way to the Reinforced Reception area on the Blue Gate map. This location is easy to recognize once you’re close, as it’s a large structure near the main paths.

Enter the building and look for the zipline inside. Take the zipline all the way down until you reach the lower level. Once you land, exit the lift/zipline area and turn left, following the corridor.

As you move forward, you’ll see a door on the right. Open this door to access a hidden side area, if you want extra safety, you can lock the door behind you to avoid being ambushed.

Continue straight ahead through the passage until you reach a breachable wall or room at the end. Breach it to enter one of the best high-value loot rooms on the map. This room is heavily contested, so getting here early gives you a big advantage.

Check the room for the blueprint. Make sure to also check the black weapon case that you find upon entering the room (against the wall). You're highly likely to find not just the Looting Mk.3 Survivor augments but also other Mk.3 augments here.

Location 2: Hospital in New District on the Buried City map

On the Buried City map, head toward the New District and locate the Hospital. This building has multiple open floors and plenty of loot spots.

Approach the hospital from the outside and climb the scaffolding to reach the higher, open levels. From here, begin systematically searching each floor, checking rooms, corners, and containers as you go.

Take your time and don’t skip areas, the Looting Mk.3 (Survivor) augment can spawn in different spots within the hospital. With a thorough search, you’re very likely to find the blueprint somewhere inside.

Location 3: Testing Annex on Dam Battlegrounds

The Testing Annex on Dam Battlegrounds is a reliable spot for augment blueprints, including the Looting Mk.3 (Survivor).

Head to the medical room in the Testing Annex and thoroughly search it. The blueprint can spawn in blue drawers or boxes, so make sure to check all blue medical drawers, as they’re known to drop purple augment blueprints, including Looting Mk.3 (Survivor).

Once you have the blueprint, to craft the augment, you will need the following:

• 2x Advanced Electrical Components
• 3x Processor
• Gear Bench 3

Why Looting Mk.3 (Survivor) is so strong

Carrying more loot

With 20 backpack slots and 80 kg of carry weight, Survivor lets you hoard way more goop, gear, and materials than most other augments. This is especially useful for:​

• Farming large amounts of goop for crafting and upgrades.​​
• Running multiple extraction runs without constantly returning to base.​
• Carrying extra ammo, medkits, and utility items for longer missions.​

Surviving while downed

The key survivability perk is that while downed and not moving, your health regenerates up to 75% of max downed health. This means:​​

• You can hide in cover, stay still, and slowly heal back up while downed.​​
• It’s much easier to survive until a teammate revives you or to crawl to extraction even when heavily damaged.​​
• Combined with a med shield, this makes Survivor one of the safest augments for aggressive looting.​

Safe pockets and shield compatibility

• The three safe pockets protect your most valuable items (like blueprints or rare gear) if you die, so you don’t lose everything on extraction failure.​
• Being compatible with light and medium shields gives flexibility in loadout design, letting you choose speed and mobility over heavy armor.​

Tips to Use Survivor Effectively

• Build for mobility and survivability using a light or medium shield, fast-moving class/weapon combos, and loot-boosting gear like loot scanners or goop boosters.
• Take advantage of the high carry capacity by looting every container in high-value areas, even if you’re heavily loaded.
• Play aggressively but smart, avoid unnecessary fights and focus on surviving rather than winning every gunfight.
• When downed, move into cover and stay still to trigger the health regeneration perk.
• Plan efficient routes to extract with a full load, using safe pockets for your most valuable items and relying on regen near extraction if needed.

When to choose another augment

Survivor is amazing for looting and survival, but it’s not always the best pick:

• If you prefer heavy shields and maximum tankiness, an augment that supports heavy shields might be better.​
• If you play a very aggressive, fast‑paced style and don’t care about carrying a lot of loot, a more combat‑focused augment (like Cautious or Raider variants) could suit you better.​
• In very short, high‑risk missions where you don’t plan to loot heavily, a lighter augment with better mobility might be more efficient.​

Is Looting Mk.3 (Survivor) Worth It?

Target breachable high-loot rooms, Trials, and events to find the blueprint, then pair it with a mobile, loot-focused build to maximize survivability and walk out with a full pack.
