162 articlesTrying to find more Blueprints is a crucial aspect of your progression in ARC Raiders.
The more Blueprints you find, the more things you can craft at the Workshop. Better things, stronger things! Things to make it easier to survive topside. The problem is… how exactly do you find Blueprints, anyway?
In this guide, we’ll tell you where to look for more Blueprints.
How To Find More Blueprints | ARC Raiders
When it comes to Blueprints, it helps to think more about the containers than the actual locations. While all containers can randomly contain Blueprints, specific containers seem to have higher chances.

Weapon cases on all maps seem to have a higher chance of Blueprints. They are the long green-ish cases, shown above.
Similarly, the rectangular black boxes all over the Blue Gate map seem to be pretty good for Blueprints.
If you have unlocked the “Security Breach” Skill, you should also make sure to check all secure containers you find. They’re mostly found inside locked rooms, and they have a pretty high chance of containing Blueprints.
Speaking of locked rooms, all of the containers within them seem to have a solid chance of yielding Blueprints.
The downside to these rooms is that they require keys, such as the Blue Gate Village key, for example. Keys spawn randomly in containers, mostly in Residential and Commercial areas. But “randomly” means “there’s no way to farm them!”
Raider Caches are another great source of Blueprints, although they’re quite rare. They are small lockboxes that you can find randomly on any map.
For areas themselves, areas marked as having a High loot value seem more likely to yield Blueprints. It’s still random, of course, but the chances are higher!
Speaking of increasing your chances, we recommend doing Night Raids whenever possible. They’re riskier, but the loot value is higher everywhere during those raids. This means you’re more likely to find Blueprints, of course.
Complete Weekly Trials
Lastly, another potential source of Blueprints is the rotating Weekly Trials. You can check them out by selecting Trials while in the Raider tab of the main menu in Speranza.
The Trials have varying objectives, such as damaging specific ARC types or looting specific containers. Completing the objectives increases your rank, which allows you to claim random reward boxes.
These reward boxes can, of course, contain random Blueprints! It’s far from reliable, mind you. But most of the Trials are just things you would do normally while playing. So, it doesn’t hurt to check them out every now and then.
Ultimately, trying to find more Blueprints in ARC Raiders is a numbers game. While certain containers might have higher chances, you just need to keep looting more and more! The more places you loot, the more likely you are to find Blueprints. It’s as simple as that!
You’ll need to upgrade your Workshop to really make use of all of the Blueprints you get. We can help you with that, too! Check out our Workshop upgrades guide.
