[ARC Raiders]Complete strategy guide for obtaining blueprints: Most stable route centered on Grandioso Apartment and space travel, all drop trends, survival techniques, latest update compatible version

ARC Raiders attracts many players as the pinnacle of PvPvE extraction shooters. In this game, players explore the ruined Speranza on the surface of the earth and escape to an underground shelter while collecting valuable resources.The game is full of tension. In particular, “blueprints”, which are essential for crafting weapons, attachments, and support gear, are the most important resource that determines your fighting power in the final stage. By obtaining a single blueprint, you can create an unlimited number of powerful equipment, giving you an overwhelming advantage in battles against ARC machine lifeforms and other players.

However, blueprint drops are not completely random, and there is a clear bias towards certain areas and containers. If you spend hours exploring without a plan, you'll end up with no results and only frustration. In this article, based on the two major spots (Grandioso Apartments and Space Travel), we will add expanded routes compatible with the latest update (v1.3.0), and thoroughly explain drop rate data, survival rate improvement techniques, and alternative routes for beginners. If you practice this, you will be able to stably obtain an average of 2-4 blueprints per raid, and your workshop will be strengthened dramatically. At the end of the article, we will also post the priority ranking of all 74 types of blueprints and how to use them for crafting. From beginners to advanced users, we will eliminate the troubles of collecting blueprints.

Basic knowledge of blueprints: Why should you collect them with top priority?

Blueprints are recipes for crafting weapons, attachments, augments, and grenades in the workshop. Store-sold equipment has a limited quantity and is expensive, but once you obtain the blueprint, you can produce it indefinitely as long as you have the materials. For example, a PvP unrivaled build can be completed with one blueprint for Tempest (high-penetration AR) or Wolfpack (seeking bomb).

Blueprint rarity and effect list

rarity	color	example	Effects/Recommended uses
common	white	Basic Grip	It is a general-purpose attachment in the early stages. It becomes the foundation for stable crafting.
rare	blue	Vertical Grip 2	Improves stability. Required for AR/SR.
epic	purple	Tempest, Wolfpack	A high-penetration weapon/bomb. Compatible with both PvE/PvP.
legendary	yellow	Jupiter, Equalizer	It's the ultimate weapon. This is for end content only.
