[ARC Raiders]Complete blueprint strategy guide | List of all 74 species, most efficient farm route details released, hit ranking, drop rate & location thorough explanation[Ark Raiders]

ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios that has received a lot of attention among players. In this game, blueprints are important items that allow you to craft weapons, equipment, and consumables. By obtaining blueprints, you will be able to create an unlimited number of items. By doing so, you can build an overwhelming advantage in battles against ARC and against people.

This guide lists all 74 types of blueprints based on the latest information and explains how to obtain them, along with the most efficient route. We comprehensively summarize the ranking of winning blueprints, drop rates, and specific map spots. From beginners to advanced players, we will deliver content that will ensure you have the best equipment.

Basic knowledge of blueprints and the importance of obtaining them

Blueprints are recipes used in your base's workshops (gunsmith, utility station, explosives station, smelter, etc.). Once you “remember and spend” it, it becomes craftable forever until your progress is reset. Duplicate blueprints can be sold at Speranza's shop for 5,000 coins. Or you can transfer it to a friend or random player. This dramatically reduces the burden of collecting materials. As a result, you can demonstrate stable performance in high-difficulty missions and trials.

Out of all 74 types, rarity is divided from Common (green) to Legendary (gold). Epic (purple) and above are especially valuable. Drop rates are random, but are heavily weighted towards certain containers and events. If you get it early, the growth curve after the middle stage will rise rapidly. Therefore, prioritize blueprint hunting in every raid. Beginners start in the safe yellow zone. For advanced players, please use red zone and night attack.

Complete explanation of how to obtain blueprints | Tips for increasing probability and efficiency

The main sources of blueprints are: The drop rate is not disclosed, but based on actual measurements, it is estimated to be 10-20% for weapon cases and about 1.5 times for night attacks.

Map exploration (fishing) | 80% obtained with the basics of basics

Thoroughly scavenge containers, lockers, drawers, backpacks, and suitcases on the map. The priority targets are:

• Weapon case (green large hard case): Epic or higher has a high probability of appearing. They are located on the rooftop, inside the tent, and in the key room. A bleach tool is required.
• Raider Treasure Chest: Buried in the ground and makes a clicking sound. You can excavate it by approaching it, and it is easy to find blueprints.
• Office furniture (drawers, desks): Concentrated in Bullet City, where many weapon mods and parts blueprints are available.
• Military facilities and camps: Weapon body blueprints are more likely to appear.
• Server room and electronic shelf: Gadget blueprints are easily available.
• Medical locker: Recovery blueprints are likely to appear.

As a tip to increase efficiency, the drop rate will be increased by approximately 1.5 times during night raids (Night Raiders). Give priority to locked rooms.

Defeat ARC Scout Drone

A spherical high-speed drone. A blueprint will sometimes appear if you clip it between a tree or rock to stop its movement and then knock it down. It's a good deal because you can also get ARC materials at the same time.

Quest Rewards | Best way to get guaranteed rewards

If you clear a specific quest, you will receive a fixed blueprint.

• “Sparks fly”: Trigger grenades are available.
• “In Search of Moisture”: Lure grenades are available.
• “Industrial Espionage”: Hull Cracker and Barletta are available.
• “Major's Footlocker”: Launcher ammo is available.

Please check your quests and accept orders every day.

trial reward

It will be unlocked at level 15. It is updated every week, and you can get the blueprint by achieving 1000pt/2500pt/4000pt.

harvester event

Once you clear it, you can get legendary blueprints (Equalizer, Jupiter, etc.).

Most efficient farm route | Expect 4-6 cards in 15 minutes by map

Dam Battlegrounds | Strongest route for beginners (yellow zone)

1. After spawning, head east to the Raider Outpost. Search for backpacks under the highway.
2. Secure 2-3 weapon cases at the camp near Broken Bridge.
3. Smash the roof of the Power Generation Complex to gain entry and scour the desks and lockers.
4. Go around the bleach room three times and escape.

You can expect 4 to 6 cards in 15 to 20 minutes, and about 20% epic. It has a low risk of death and is ideal for beginners.

Bullet City | Office specialized (red zone)

Break into a high-rise building and rummage through all the drawers. Gadget blueprints are more likely to appear in the server room. Make the key room your top priority during a night attack.

Buried City

Go straight to the breakthrough door room from the upper right building of Raider Hatch. You can safely secure 0-3 pieces.

Blue Gate

It is concentrated in underground facilities, and many rare containers are placed there.

A common tip is to prioritize high signal areas in survey mode. When playing in a team, please divide the fishing and guarding duties.

Winning blueprint ranking｜Top 10 required

1. Venator: A medium-sized AR that is the strongest against humans. The material is lightweight and can be kept on hand.
2. Wolfpack: The ultimate anti-ARC bomb with a dramatic change in difficulty.
3. Plunder Mk.3 (survival type): 3 safety pockets + medium shield greatly improves survival rate.
4. Snap Hook: The embodiment of mobility. You can move freely to high places.
5. Anvil: Specialized against ARC at close range, and can also fight against humans.
6. Expanded Medium Magazine III: The number of bullets has been greatly increased, allowing you to dominate in sustained battles.
7. Equalizer: A legendary burst rifle.
8. Bettina: Has a high appearance rate and provides stable firepower.
9. Padded Stock: Dramatically improve accuracy with 15% less recoil and 20% less dispersion.
10. Jolt Mine: Area stun greatly increases survival rate.

Optimal Tips for Using Blueprints & Avoiding Common Mistakes

• Remember: Select “Remember and Consume” from your inventory. You can check it on Speranza.
• Duplicate processing: Sell for 5,000 coins or trade.
• Common mistake: If you forget to put the blueprints in your safety pocket and die, you lose everything.
• Solo play: Fish while sprinting in light clothing.
• Team play: One person is in charge of fishing, the rest are in charge of guarding and escorting.
• Aphelion has been added to the new map Stella Montis.
