ARC Raiders Blueprint Guide
The verified guide to blueprint locations, 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. Use the source map below instead of treating any single count as permanent.
| 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 |
| 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 as of August 2026. See Quest Blueprint Rewards.
- Events & expeditions — seasonal content (expeditions, trials seasons, map events) can affect availability. The 5th Expedition announcement also notes a future alternative for Hullcracker acquisition.
- 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. For the specific search intent "which quests give blueprints," use Quest Blueprint Rewards.
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.
Blueprint services, shops & trading
Some communities sell or trade blueprint-related services (boosting, blueprint shops, trades). This site does not offer, endorse or advertise such services, and blueprints themselves are earned in-game through the quest line, events and map sources — see Blueprint Locations for the verified acquisition routes.
