Blueprints are among the most valuable items in ARC Raiders. And if you played the game, you’d know that some of them can be quite rare.

That said, blueprints can come in different forms, including weapon attachments, new weapons, and even better versions of existing crafting recipes. Needless to say, they can actually improve your overall experience in ARC Raiders.

Some of these blueprints are so rare that it will take hours of grinding and some amount of luck to get them.

And for those who managed to do so, some of them decided to sell those blueprints – for cash!

Just a week after launch, a black market for ARC Raiders blueprints has already emerged. Here, you can browse a selection of blueprints and other stuff that you can buy for real-world money.

The black market in question is a website called Gameflip, where people can sell a bunch of in-game stuff to people for real-world cash.

What’s ridiculous is that some of the blueprints listed on the website cost way more than ARC Raiders’ base price itself!

How Much Do These ARC Raiders Blueprints Cost

Prices for the blueprints can vary from one seller to another. After all, the price of a certain blueprint is all up to the seller’s discretion.

For example, we’ve seen a blueprint for the semi-automatic Burletta, which is listed for a whopping $79.99. That’s nearly double the price for the base game which is only at $39.99!

Well, with how rare some of the blueprints are, it’s not surprising that some players will try and take shortcuts, and this website is one such shortcut.

But then again, spending real-world money for an item that you can find in the game anyway sounds a bit too much, especially if it’s more expensive than the game itself.

Also, it’s worth noting that there’s no trading system in ARC Raiders. Instead, to get the blueprint, you need to team up with the seller and go on a raid. Then, he will drop the blueprint which you then have to pick up.

You also have to make sure you have a free safe pocket to store the blueprint. Otherwise, you’ll end up losing it in the event that you die in-game (which is very likely).

So all in all, you’re paying for an item that’s way more expensive than a copy of the game itself. Then, you’ll have to make sure to pick it up inside a raid and place it in a safe pocket before heading to an extraction point.

To be honest, it’s more trouble than it’s worth, and chances are, it would be against ARC Raiders’ terms of service. You’d only put your account at risk of getting banned.

Simply playing the game and getting a lucky blueprint drop is no doubt the better option.
