Arc Raiders tasks players with surviving while completing various tasks to claim rewards. This is similar to other games of the genre, and Arc Raiders also leans heavily into players upgrading their gear to survive. While players can manage to get just about anything from loot, the item they receive isn’t confirmed. This is why it may be better for players to use blueprints to craft the items themselves.
What are blueprints in Arc Raiders?
Blueprints are essentially the schematics of hard-to-find items in Arc Raiders that can be used to craft items. The recipes allow players to make anything from weapons to medical tools that can save them when their health is low. This makes it easier to get rare items, as you remove the chance variable. While you only need to get an individual blueprint once, it's possible to find the same one again. You can choose to either sell it for 5,000 gold or gift it to another raider. The blueprint stays with you unless you reset through the Expedition Project. If you want to try finding blueprints but haven’t bought the game yet, you can get it from LootBar.
How to get blueprints in Arc Raiders?
Blueprints don’t spawn in any specific location, but some areas, such as yellow and red zones, have a higher-drop rate of the item. It isn’t guaranteed that players will find blueprints on a single run, and they need to grind to find loot. Searching behind locked doors may increase the chance of blueprints spawning. Some blueprints are tied to specific events, such as Night Raids, while exclusive blueprints are also awarded as quest rewards. Players can also get blueprints as rewards for getting three stars in the weekly trials. It's essential for players to extract successfully after getting a blueprint, or the item will be lost.
How to craft blueprints in Arc Raiders?
Each blueprint allows players to craft a specific item, and the necessary material must be collected before starting the process.

Best early game blueprint in Arc Raiders
There are more than 70 blueprints in Arc Raiders that allow players to craft weapons, mods, and more. The following three blueprints are the best for players to obtain early in the game to make their gameplay even better.
Burletta
When players first start Arc Raiders, an important task is to find a good weapon so they can dispatch enemies. While finding good weapons that early is difficult, Burletta deals decent damage. The blueprint for the weapon is easy to obtain, as it's a quest reward. The weapon is also easy to craft, as it requires common resources. This makes the blueprint a good choice to get early, so players can focus more on the action, rather than trying to find weapons.
Smoke Grenade
Smoke Grenade isn’t an offensive tool, but the utility item can help players get out of tricky situations by producing a smoke cloud that blinds enemies. The cloud won’t hurt enemies, but can allow players to escape. The blueprint requires basic materials to craft the item, and it can help players survive the early game.
Lightweight Stock
Lightweight Stock is a useful mod that makes weapon handling and aiming faster. Players’ mobility also increases, allowing them to dodge enemies faster. While the mod’s blueprint can only be found by looting, its benefits explain why players should try to get it as soon as possible. Once found, the blueprint requires easy-to-find resources to craft the weapon mod.
Conclusion
Blueprints are an efficient way for players to get their hands on rare items in Arc Raiders, but finding them isn’t easy. While players may get a few blueprints as quest rewards, the majority require that players grind and find them as loot. If you’re ready to try your luck at getting blueprints but don’t have the game, you can get the Arc Raiders Steam key from LootBar!
