ARC Raiders Bobcat Blueprint Guide

A player gets the Bobcat blueprint mainly from the Locked Gate event on the Blue Gate map, so the whole run is built around that event route.

The same blueprint can also drop from normal loot on the map, including a loot box found in Raiders Refuge, so a run can still pay off during key farming.

The Locked Gate event has three parts, and the player follows them in order.

• Four key locations. the run starts by farming four keys
• Gate control spot. the run moves to the input point for the four keys
• Underground gate. the run enters the underground complex to loot for the blueprint

This route fits an Arc Raiders blueprints guide mindset, since the goal is repeatable farming with a stable path.

Keys can be stored in the safe pocket, and the player can extract with the keys to use them later, so the run can be split across runs. Collecting all four keys in one run, then opening the gate, then looting inside, can be hard, so the safe pocket plan is the core trick.

Ancient Fort key

A key can be found in Ancient Fort by looting containers in the area, so the player clears loot until the key shows up.

• Loot containers in the fort area
• Store the key in the safe pocket right away

Pilgrim’s Peak key

Pilgrim’s Peak can drop the key from loot in the area, and even cars outside can hold it, so the player loots wide around the point.

• Loot the buildings for weapons, then sweep nearby cars
• Keep looting until the key appears

Reinforced Reception key

Reinforced Reception has limited loot, and keys were found consistently in lootable bins inside the location, so the player focuses on those bins.

• Loot bins inside the reception building
• Store the key in the safe pocket for carryover

Raiders Refuge key

Raiders Refuge can drop the key from loot in the area, and a breach container can hold the key along with the Bobcat blueprint, so this stop can pay twice.

• Loot any lootable container around the point
• Check breach containers as a priority

This part also matches an Arc Raiders blueprints guide flow, since the player farms keys while also rolling normal loot.

After the player has all four keys, the run moves to the warehouse complex in the middle of the map above the checkpoint, then inputs the four keys to open the gate.

Other players can be nearby, so the player approaches with caution and keeps scanning angles while moving in.

After key input, the gates open at the checkpoint area and reveal access to the underground area.

Movement in and out happens through the large opened gates, since zip lines and other side entrances stay closed after the gate is opened.

Inside the underground complex, the recommended method is looting the full area, since loot down there can roll the Bobcat blueprint.

Room selection still matters a bit, and breach rooms or red locker rooms can feel strong, yet the main win condition is volume looting and fast extraction.

• Loot containers fast, then keep moving to the next room
• Plan exit timing early, since the entry gate is the exit route

After the loot sweep, the run ends with extraction, then the player learns the Bobcat blueprint.

A blueprint can drop from normal loot during the event run, including a box in Raiders Refuge, so key farming runs still carry a chance at a direct blueprint hit.

Quick fixes:

1. Keys take time. safe pocket storage lets the player split the set across runs
2. Gate area attracts attention. cautious entry helps, since other players can sit nearby
3. Underground exit route is fixed. the player plans extraction around the main gate path
