Arc Raiders Blueprint Guide — 74/74 Blueprints

Arc Raiders hides blueprints inside normal loot, then acts surprised when the player turns into a walking spreadsheet. This guide follows the blueprint names that appear in the provided text, and it explains the places and the simple ways to farm them.

This guide is not covering the “Crafting” blueprints. Because… Just because… But you can find answers for a following questions:

• Why does Arc Raiders hide blueprints in trash loot?
• How does the player spot the right event early?
• Which map condition matters for blueprint farming runs?
• What container types give blueprint rolls in practice?
• How does red or yellow outline loot help?
• What is the clean route for Bobcat on Blue Gate?
• Where does the Snap Hook route start on Damn Battlegrounds?
• What makes Stella Montis blueprints feel map locked?
• How does the player farm Equalizer and Jupiter safely?
• Where should the player look for medical pool drops?
• What is the short loop for black locker farming?
• How does the player use keys without losing them?

The game gives “random”, then the player gets a plan anyway, because pain feels calmer when it has a route.

• Map event. special events push special blueprint pools
• Location tag. medical tag leans medical items, and similar tags lean similar pools
• Container type. car hoods lean mechanical parts, black lockers lean augments and weapon parts
• Loot outline. red and yellow outlined loot spots raise the chance, so time goes there first

Arc Raiders rewards routine, then punishes excitement, so the player wins by acting like a mailman with a rifle.

• Load in and check map condition. night, storm, gate, bunker
• Hit the target rooms. stay near condensed loot clusters
• Open the target containers. black lockers, black crates, box lockers, event chests
• Extract after the target sweep. the run stays short and repeatable

• What triggers it. Hidden Bunker event
• Maps. the run works on maps that can roll this event
• Place to go. the bunker location that appears with the event
• What to loot. the bunker containers, plus red outline loot near the bunker

Run method

The player loads in, checks for Hidden Bunker, then goes straight to the bunker marker, clears the containers, and extracts after the bunker sweep.

• What triggers it. Electromagnetic Storm
• Extra clue. lightning strikes can spawn “fossilized lightning”, so the strike location becomes a point to check
• What to loot. storm area loot, plus high value containers near the storm activity

• What triggers it. Locked Gate event
• Map. Blue Gate
• Main place. warehouse complex above the checkpoint, then the gate input area
• Goal. open the underground, loot it, extract

Key farm places used for the four keys

Arc Raiders loves “collect four items first”, so the player gets a scavenger hunt as a warmup.

• Ancient Fort
• Pilgrim’s Peak
• Reinforced Reception
• Raiders Refuge

Run method

The player farms the four keys, puts keys in the safe pocket, then goes to the warehouse above checkpoint, inputs keys, enters underground, loots hard, and extracts once the underground is cleared.

• What triggers it. night modifier
• Map hint from the text. the blueprint is linked to Vega style availability
• Place to loot. high value locations during the night run, with red outline priority
• Container focus. high value containers inside the night run, plus dense loot rooms

Run method

The player loads in during a night run, picks one dense loot area, clears it fast, then extracts before the night run becomes a long fight.

• What triggers it. Harvester event completion
• Place. the Harvester event finish area
• What to loot. the three special containers opened after finishing the event

Run method

The player completes Harvester, opens the three reward containers, then extracts right after the reward sweep, because the job is done and greed is how raids end.

Stella Montis gets a special list, because the game enjoys moving drops around and watching the player re-learn routes.

• Augments and weapon part blueprints. black locker pool
• Main place type. black lockers, black crates, box lockers
• Good example place. Blue Gate Manticor lab armor room, because container density stays high

Run method

The player picks a route with black locker clusters, clears them fast, then extracts after the container sweep.

Weapon and attachment blueprints. Surveyor pool

• Trigger. kill a Surveyor, loot the core
• Place to farm. areas where Surveyors spawn during the run
• What to do. kill Surveyor, loot core, extract after a clean sweep

Run method

The player treats Surveyor cores like a blueprint slot machine, so the run becomes “hunt Surveyor, loot core, leave” with a short loop.

Wide variety blueprints. Trials pool

• Trigger. Trials rewards, with a push to reach three stars
• Place to farm. the Trials activity itself, then reward collection

Run method

The player clears Trials weekly, aims for three stars, then collects rewards and lets the blueprint pool roll in the background.

Arc Raiders calls it “raider loot”, then hides it in raider bags, so the player learns the same containers like a bedtime story.

• Containers that matter. raider caches, weapon cases, ammo cases, raider bags
• Common weapon blueprints named in the text. Osprey, Anvil, Ventor, Toro
• Rare named find. Patina can appear from raider ammo crates

• Location tag. medical tag locations
• Named strong place. Stella Montis medical research area gets repeated mention for fast early results
• Extra note. black lockers inside medical areas still roll black locker pool, so mixed farming happens naturally

Quest rewards feel like the game showing mercy for a moment, then it remembers what genre it is.

Quick route picks. maps and plans that fit the named blueprints

The player could roam and “have fun”, then the blueprint stays hidden in a trash can, so the player picks routes instead.

• Blue Gate. run Locked Gate for Bobcat, then add Manticor lab armor room for black locker pool
• Stella Montis. farm the map locked list, then add medical research room for medical pool rolls
• Storm runs. chase Electromagnetic Storm for Snap Hook, then clear the nearest high value loot area
