ARC Raiders Blueprint Complete Guide 2025 Latest | High probability acquisition method that fully utilizes night attacks, electromagnetic storms, and key rooms! Thorough explanation of detailed routes and container trends for all maps[Ark Raiders Strategy]

Efficiently collecting blueprints in ARC Raiders is essential for strengthening your workshop and creating powerful weapons and augments. In the latest update 1.3.0, the drop rate has been adjusted, making it harder to leave things to chance like before. However, by combining specific conditions such as night raids, electromagnetic storms, and key rooms, it is possible to aim for rare blueprints with a high probability.

This guide provides step-by-step directions for all maps, as well as the drop trends for each container and how to deal with them as a surveyor. From solo players to multiplayer teams, we will provide you with a complete strategy for acquiring multiple blueprints in one raid.

Understand the basic specifications of blueprints and changes after the latest update

Blueprints can be learned at the workshop the moment you pick them up, and duplicates can be sold for 5,000 coins. There are 74 types in total, and the main targets are weapons (Venator, Anvil), augments (Plunder Mk.3 Survivor), quick items (Wolfpack, Snaphook), and modified parts (Extended Magazine II/III). After the update, the drop table has become narrower and less random. Instead, the probability of high value zones and specific containers has been improved.

List of top 10 blueprints (in order of priority learning)

The following is a ranking that takes into account performance against humans/ARC and material consumption. Compare in table.

Please collect these as a priority. Please also take advantage of quest rewards and harvester events.

Optimal conditions for blueprint high probability drop: combination of night attack, electromagnetic storm, and key room

The key to minimizing the luck factor is three conditions.

1. Use of night raids

In night raids, the enemy/container lottery table will be expanded. The appearance rate of high rare blueprints will more than double. The aim is the apartments and residential areas at the edge of the map.

2. The power of electromagnetic storm

When a storm occurs, specialized snap hook blueprints will drop. Increases the probability of electronic equipment containers (black boxes). Particularly effective with Stella Monteith.

3. Priority unlocking of key room

The room that can be accessed by blowing up three fuel cells or hatches is a high-rare exclusive table. There are over 20 key rooms in all 5 maps.

Combination Tips: Night attack + storm + key room allows for 5 or more blueprints in 1 raid. Please check the conditions on the map selection screen.

By map: Blueprint den area and most efficient route

We will explain each map's blueprint nest with detailed routes. It takes 10-15 minutes and focuses on solo PvP avoidance.

1. Buried City: Plaza Rosa & Santa Maria Houses Route

• Featured area: Behind the destroyed door of Plaza Rosa (high density of trash cans), roof windows of Santa Maria houses

Loop route (12 minutes):

1. Spawn → Intrude into the roof window of the northwest pharmacy (weapon case + blueprint)
2. Plaza Rosa Destruction Door (Use the key room master key, report the Wolf Pack using the town hall key)
3. Hospital North 3F Key Room (High Rare Container)
4. Southern apartment shelf fishing (night attack specialization)
5. Northern Building Zipline → Extract

Expected blueprint: Bettina, extended magazine

2. Blue Gate: Underground Reinforced Reception & Village Route

• Featured area: Underground “reinforced reception” black box, Muratashi family key room

Circular route (10 minutes):

1. Spawn → Village Todai Keylock House (Village Key)
2. Underground shelter (uses underground key and communication tower key)

2. Medical warehouse (medical warehouse key)
3. Security checkpoint (after breakthrough door)
4. Black Box area (specialized during storms)
5. Material room shutter → extraction

Expected blueprint: Venator, quick item

4. Dam Battlegrounds: Power Generation Complex & Broken Bridge Route

Circular route (11 minutes, complete avoidance of PvP):

1. Southern Relay Station → 3 hidden caches (use power accel)
2. Power generation facility electric lot (gimmick room, security locker combination, wolf pack report)
3. Flood gate ledge (Zipline/vault)
4. Northeast Broken Bridge Raider Cache

2. Control tower 1F (control tower key, be careful of A6 zip line)
3. Container storage 3F
4. Trench Tower North/South
5. extraction

Expected blueprint: Bobcat type

Drop trends and priority fishing order for each container type

Containers are identified by their shape. The golden rule is to catch everything, but prioritize.

container name	Appearance characteristics	Blueprint drop rate	Example of target blueprint	priority
Trash Bin	small trash can	high	modified parts, quick	★★★★★
Black Box	Ogurobako, Key room number	the best	Rare weapon (Anvil)	★★★★★
recycling box	green large	Medium	Augment	★★★★☆
locker/shelf/drawer	indoor furniture	Junior and senior high school	Wolfpack (shelf specialized)	★★★★☆
weapon case	Weapon fixed	Medium	weapon blueprint	★★★☆☆

Raider Cache (Silver/Hidden) is a fixed spawn on all maps. Security Breach skill increases the probability of security containers.

Importance of Surveyor (ARC Surveyor) and how to defeat it

This is a mini-boss class enemy. Its location is exposed by a blue laser and it dashes away, but it is vulnerable. Blueprints will be dropped by hunting all parts (core, small parts). It occurs frequently in Buried City.

How to defeat the steps:

1. Laser detection → pinpoint location
2. Stitcher short range burst
3. After the core is destroyed, all parts will be recovered.
4. Stay safe with Looting Mk.2

Recommended equipment & augment configuration

• weapon: Venator (against humans) + Anvil (against ARC)
• Augment: Plunder Mk.3 (Pocket 3) + Security Breach
• quick: Snap hook + wolf pack
• Bringing in materials: Fuel cell 3 (for key room)

For solo, we recommend wearing light clothing and taking fast routes, and for multiplayer, we recommend splitting the roles (one person in a locked room, one person on guard).

Beginner Tips & PvP Avoidance Techniques/Frequently Asked Questions

Tips:

• Looting Mk.2 required (keep blueprint upon death)
• Participate in harvester event (exclusive blueprint)
• Take advantage of weekly Trials rewards
• Material management: Prioritize upgrades instead of recycling

PvP avoidance:

• Select map edge route
• Northern tunnel extract
• Guiding the fishermen with a whistle blower

Q&A:

• Q: Can I open the key room solo? A: Yes, you can bring 3 fuel cells. Hatch explosion is also effective.
• Q: Is the drop difficult after the update? A: It can be solved by combining conditions. The average per raid is 2-3 pieces.
• Q: Are you aiming for a specific blueprint? A: Please refer to container trends (shelf = wolf pack).

Summary: Become a blueprint master by thoroughly utilizing knowledge and routes

Gathering blueprints for ARC Raiders will be dramatically streamlined with map-specific routes and container priority, focusing on night raids, electromagnetic storms, and key room conditions. If you focus on the Buried Town Plaza Rosa, Blue Gate Enhancement Reception, and Dam Battlefield Electric Lot, you can get more than 10 coins in an hour. Don't forget to search all surveyor parts. Gain an edge with this strategy and enhance your workshop. Please practice and aim to complete the blueprint.
