How To Get ALL 74 Blueprints in Arc Raiders

Getting all 74 blueprints in Arc Raiders is no easy grind. Some of them are extremely rare, others drop in duplicates, and the maps don’t always cooperate with your RNG. But after dozens of hours of testing, researching, and running multiple loot routes across all maps and conditional modes, we’ve put together a complete, streamlined guide to help you farm blueprints faster and more efficiently than ever.

Why Blueprint Farming Feels Hard

Blueprint rarity skyrocketed after recent patches. Daytime drop rates were heavily nerfed, and many blueprints now lean toward spawning in special conditions such as Night Mode and Electromagnetic Storm events.

But here’s the good news:

✔ Some containers are much better than others
✔ Certain map conditions dramatically boost blueprint drop rates
✔ Specific buildings and regions offer consistently higher yields

Below is everything you need to know.

Best Containers for Blueprint Farming

Not all lootables are equal. Some containers have a much higher chance of dropping blueprints—especially during Night Mode or Storm events.

Top-tier loot containers

✔ Brown Drawers – One of the best daytime loot sources for higher-tier items
✔ Lockers (all types) – Excellent blueprint drop rate
✔ Medical Cabinets / Tech Lockers – Great chance during storm or night
✔ Backpacks & Weapon Containers – Good for attachments and gadget blueprints

If you ever come across brown drawers or any locker variant, loot them first.

Daytime vs Night Mode (Which Is Better?)

Daytime

Lower blueprint drop rate after the recent patch
Good for general loot but not reliable for blueprint farming
You’ll mostly get duplicates or low-tier items

Night Mode

Night Mode explicitly states “Increased Loot” and it absolutely delivers:

Much higher chances for Epic and Legendary loot
Blueprints drop noticeably more often
Fewer extract points & darker environment adds challenge
PvP is more aggressive, so move fast and stay alert

Conclusion: Night Mode is significantly better for blueprint farming than daytime.

The Electromagnetic Storm — BEST Blueprint Farming Mode

After extensive testing, there is one mode that absolutely destroys all others:

Electromagnetic Storm = Highest Blueprint Drop Rate in the Game

This event can occur on multiple maps and behaves like a stormy night mode with dark skies, reduced ARC spawns, and lightning strikes everywhere.

Our three-man group tested this across multiple runs and found:

1+ blueprints per run guaranteed
Frequently found 2–3 blueprints in a single match
All players in the squad were getting drops consistently
Drops included rare ones like:
- Wolfpack Blueprint
- Snap Hook Blueprint
- Augment Blueprints
- High-tier attachments

There is no better time to farm blueprints.

If the storm hits your map → Stop everything and loot.

4. Best Loot Locations for Blueprints

Here are the top farm spots you should hit depending on the map. These are tested, reliable locations where blueprint drops spike.

A) DAMN BATTLEGROUNDS

1. Testing Annex (Electromagnetic Storm recommended)

Yellow loot zone = lower PvP pressure
Packed with medical cabinets & drawers
Very consistent blueprint drops
One of the best storm farming locations

2. Control Tower (Night or Storm)

High PvP zone — go fast
Multiple lockers and containers
Good loot on the top floor
Extra containers outside near the key room
Bring traps, smokes, and quick extraction options

B) BURIED CITY

1. Breach Room (Night Mode)

Located in a house with stairs
Tons of brown drawers and lootable objects
Great for valuables + blueprint drops
Often includes backpacks and weapon containers

2. Grandioso Apartments

One of the community’s favorite blueprint zones
Reported drops:
- Tempest Blueprint
- Wolfpack x2 (back-to-back found here)
- Lance Mixtape
Best run during Night Mode

C) BLUEGATE

1. Underground Breach Room

Blueprint hotspot for Augment Blueprints, including the rare:
- Survivor Looting Blueprint
Very high PvP risk
Bring traps, mines, and be ready to exfil fast

2. Village Area

Surprisingly good even in normal mode
During Storm or Night Mode → amazing loot density
Drops include:
- Weapon attachment blueprints
- Lance mixtapes
- Snow globes
- General valuables

5. Extra Tips to Maximize Blueprint Drops

Here are optimizations to boost your blueprint-per-hour rate:

✔ Always Prioritize Conditional Modes

If Night Mode or Storm is available → Pick that map.

✔ Loot Fast, Don’t Fight

Speed > Combat.
Open containers, avoid long fights, and extract safely.

✔ Use Full-Map Loot Routes

Stick to fast, efficient loops:

Testing Annex → Nearby buildings → Extract
Control Tower → Outside loot spawns → Extract
Grandioso Apartments → Nearby streets → Extract

✔ Work in Duos or Trios

More eyes = more containers = more blueprint chances.

✔ Expect Duplicates

Duplicates are normal. Sell them for extra currency.

Electromagnetic Storm > Night Mode > Daytime

Pair that with these routes:

Testing Annex (Storm) → S-tier
Control Tower (Night/Storm) → Excellent
Buried City Breach Room → Consistent
Grandioso Apartments (Night) → High rolls
Bluegate Underground Breach Room → Best for Augments

Using these methods, you can consistently farm 1–3 blueprints per run, helping you complete your entire blueprint collection way faster.

How to prepare for efficient farming

Practical prep that top guides recommend:

Plan a loot route: pick 2–3 maps/regions with dense containers (e.g., Stella Montis route, Dam lockers + R&D lockers). Learn container spawn points and move quickly.
Bring mobility & storage: loadout that lets you sprint/evade and pick up containers quickly; bring space for loot so you don’t have to drop valuable items mid-run.
No-risk or low-risk runs: some players run “naked/no-loadout” or minimal loadout runs focused purely on looting then extracting quickly to avoid PvP losses.
Team up (optional): duo/trio runs where one player focuses on clearing, others on looting/extraction to increase speed. But solo optimized routes also work.

Best farming methods

Concrete tactics used by the community:

Map loop (fast loot sweep)
- Spawn into your chosen map → follow a fixed loop hitting every locker/locker cluster and weapon crate → extract immediately when inventory full. Repeat. Works great on maps with concentrated container spawns (Stella Montis, bluegate-type maps, Dam areas).
Targeted container farming (for rare items)
- If you need a specific blueprint (e.g., certain grenade or gadget), ask community threads/Reddit for the container/map that drops it (players often report which locker types dropped a particular blueprint). Use the community blueprint list to find leads.
Quest + mission farming
- Complete repeatable missions and scenario runs that list blueprints as guaranteed or high-chance rewards. Some blueprints are tied to mission progression. Check the fandom/wiki for which ones are quest-linked.
Post-nerf/meta changes
- The drop rates and farming hotspots change with patches — watch recent YouTube guides and subreddit threads for the newest “fast routes” after each update.

Step-by-step 30–60 minute grind plan

Pick 2 maps with container density (example: Stella Montis + Dam route).
Load a mobility-focused kit (high speed, extraction tools).
Run fixed loop: open every locker/cabinet/weapon crate, loot, skip heavy fights unless loot payoff looks good.
Return to extraction when inventory full or after X minutes (set a rhythm — e.g., 10–15 minutes per run).
At base, Learn & Consume any new blueprints immediately; sell duplicates.
