Farming blueprints in Arc Raiders is currently a top priority for players, as these blueprints enable the creation of new items, including weapons, in your workshop. With over seventy blueprints available in the game, while you can’t target specific ones or guarantee their appearance, there are strategies to maximize your chances of finding them. Below, we’ll break down the most effective blueprint farming method and provide a list of all the blueprints in the game.
Blueprints are randomly found throughout the world and are not guaranteed drops, but the best results for farming them come from medium or high loot value Residential and Commercial areas during Night Raids. The Blue Gate Village area stands out as the most promising location for reasons we’ll discuss below, but you can also explore other areas such as:
The Blue Gate Village is recommended due to its high container density and a seemingly increased drop rate for blueprints in Residential areas. This means your odds improve, especially at night, allowing you to open multiple containers and increase your chances of finding blueprints.
Blueprints can also be found in the following areas, though again, drops are never guaranteed.
Instead of relying on an Arc Raiders free loadout, consider using the Looting Mk. 1 augment for efficient farming with minimal self-preservation. Make sure to have at least one safe pocket for any blueprints you collect.
Keep in mind that not all blueprints are created equal in terms of rarity. While they don’t have designated rarity levels, some blueprints appear much more frequently—it’s a running joke in the community that Jolt Mine blueprints are particularly common, even if you’ve already learned them.
Below is a list of all known blueprints in Arc Raiders, categorized for your convenience.
Blueprints are obtained as random drops while exploring any map in Arc Raiders or as mission rewards. Once you acquire one, ensure you extract safely with it still in your inventory and return to Speranza.
Once home, access your inventory and locate the blueprint. You’ll have the option to “consume and learn” it. This will destroy the blueprint but permanently unlock the crafting recipe it contains.
To craft the item, you’ll likely need the appropriate crafting station in your Workshop, and possibly an upgrade. For instance, a high-level weapon blueprint may require a Level 2 Gunsmith table, in addition to the necessary crafting components.
Some blueprints enhance existing crafting recipes. For example, while you can initially craft an Angled Grip for your weapons, finding a blueprint for it will improve the effects of all Angled Grips you craft thereafter.
