In ARC Raiders, many players are feverishly searching for new blueprints to expand their workbenches, but nowhere is it explained where to actually get these blueprints. Therefore, I will show you how and where you can focusedly find new blueprints.
What are blueprints? In ARC Raiders, you can find blueprints, also called blueprints, to equip your workbenches with new building options. These range from support items like new grenades to new weapons like the Anvil.
So if you want versatile build options, you will have to start bringing many blueprints to Speranza sooner or later. Unfortunately, the game does not explain how to obtain these blueprints, but there are dedicated locations to spawn them.
For this reason, I have sifted through various sources and spent 50 hours on the surface to show you where you can effectively get blueprints.
Locations of Blueprints – Here You Can Farm Them
Where can I effectively find blueprints? Simply put, it’s enough to open containers, chests, or lockers and trust your luck. Each of these locations has a small chance of finding blueprints along with materials.
However, if you want to maximize your chances of obtaining blueprints, it’s better to go to maps with the active modifier “Uncovered Secret Supplies.” This spawns various Raider containers on the map that can provide you with a lot of loot. I have also managed to snag many blueprints from them.
These containers always look like bags or weapon boxes marked with a yellow Raider symbol. They are usually hidden at known POIs or are uncovered on the surface in open terrain:


Other important places for blueprints are also locked areas in POIs, for which you need keys. Of course, finding the keys is always random, but when you have a key, you have a high chance of receiving a blueprint from them.
Now we know where to farm blueprints, but what about the locations? Are they significant or can I find every blueprint on any map?
Does the map play a role in looting? To some extent, yes. I was able to obtain the Anvil on the relatively easier maps once at the dam and again at the Buried City, but not on the harder maps – other players report the same (Source: youtube.com).
Anyone looking for more technologically advanced weapons and modifications should switch to harder maps. There, I was able to find suppressors and level 2 grips that I could not find at the dam despite farming for hours.
In principle, it can be said: if you check every container long enough, you will eventually get blueprints. What I want to leave you with is that you should really open every container you can see. Many of my finds were in chests and cabinets that I would have ignored because I was too busy hunting other Raiders.
So one can say that finding a blueprint depends a lot on luck, but you can force a spawn if you are persistent enough. Be cautious when you find a blueprint and best place it in your safety bags to avoid losing it if you get killed.
