ARC Raiders Blueprints
The verified guide to blueprints: sources, availability and the workbench.
Blueprints are the main crafting unlocks in ARC Raiders: each one lets you build a specific weapon, gadget or item at the workbench. They come from quest rewards, events, maps and specific sources — and their availability changes with updates.
How blueprint counts work here
The total number of blueprints in the game is not written as a fixed number on this page. Sources disagree by date and version (older articles list 75/80/83; current databases show more; community count videos cite 74), and patches change availability. We use a live count with the game version and verification date instead — see below.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Current count (informational) | Source-dependent — 74+ cited by community guides in August 2026; not a permanent claim |
| Game version checked | 1.42.0 |
| Last verified | 2026-08-24 |
| Sources | Official announcements, gameplay-verified reports; cross-checked, not copied |
Where blueprints come from
- Quests — the main quest line rewards blueprints; the Hullcracker Blueprint is only obtainable through the quest line (relevant for the opt-in quest reset).
- Events & expeditions — seasonal content (expeditions, trials seasons, map events) introduces obtainable blueprints.
- Maps & loot sources — specific locations and crate types; guides describe sources qualitatively because drop rates are not published.
- Trader/rotations — availability can rotate with the current trader and store rotations.
Source details and farming routes are on Blueprint Locations.
The workbench
Crafting happens at the workbench in your workshop: materials plus a blueprint produce the item. Workbench upgrades expand what you can build; upgrade requirements change with patches and are recorded per game version.
