ARC Raiders: How to Farm Augment Blueprints Fast, Safely, and Consistently
In ARC Raiders, Augment Blueprints are among the most valuable items you can find-especially high-tier options like the MK3 Survivor and MK3 Defensive. Players spend hours searching for them, often assuming drops are completely random. But with the right route, the right mindset, and a fast-reset strategy, you can farm blueprints efficiently, safely, and in a way that strongly suggests the drops follow a predictable pattern.
1. The Best Farming Location: Reinforced Reception Breachable Room
The single most consistent blueprint farm in ARC Raiders is the breachable room beneath Reinforced Reception. Inside this underground chamber are several wall-mounted containers that have an unusually high chance of dropping Augment Blueprints.
When you enter the room, loot the wall containers first. These consistently produce glow stick blueprints and Augment blueprints at a noticeably higher rate than any other containers in the space.
How to Reach the Room
Depending on your spawn point, there are four reliable routes underground:
· Three routes via zipline descent
· One direct entrance through the bottom-middle section of the map
Take whichever route gives you the fastest dive toward Reinforced Reception. Your entire strategy revolves around reaching the breach door before the 27:00 mark, breaching by 26:00, and looting the room in under a minute.
2. The Optimal and Completely Risk-Free Routine
Here's the part that feels strange at first-but is absolutely essential:
Never extract.
Not once. Not ever.
Your only mission is to loot the room, bank any blueprint in your safe pocket, and immediately surrender to restart the process.
This works because:
· Speed beats everything. You want 10-12 runs per hour-not one slow, fully geared raid.
· You're expendable. You're not risking any ARC Raiders gear because you're not bringing any gear.
· Other players play cautiously. While they defend their loadouts, you sprint in like a maniac and reach the room first far more often.
Your Loadout: Go Completely Naked
Bring no guns, no shield, no augments. At most, bring a single STYI stim. That's it.
Running naked gives you three major advantages:
· Instant surrender if you spawn too far away-saving minutes.
· Zero fear of death, encouraging you to sprint nonstop.
· First-to-room priority, since you're always moving aggressively.
Most runs can be completed in 4-5 minutes, meaning 10+ attempts per hour-far more blueprint opportunities than any normal gameplay loop.
3. The 10-Run Test: Proving the Method Works
Across 10 recorded runs-plus a handful of skipped attempts due to late spawns-the results are clear:
· 5 blueprints total
· 4 Glow Stick blueprints
· 1 MK3 Survivor Augment Blueprint
This is consistent with long-term farming results in the same room. After 40-50 total clears, the pattern is unmistakable:
· Only Glow Stick and Augment blueprints ever drop here.
· No other blueprint types have been observed-not even once.
This strongly suggests the loot table for this room is fixed, not randomized. Similar examples exist elsewhere in the game:
· Assembly Workshop (Stella Montus): consistent weapon blueprint drops
· Volcano BP during Hidden Bunker event
· Bobcat blueprint only dropping during the now-removed Locked Gate event
So while some players insist all blueprint drops are RNG, real in-game evidence tells a different story.
4. Final Tips and Summary
To maximize blueprint gains:
· Race directly to Reinforced Reception every run.
· Reach breach door before 27:00.
· Loot wall containers first.
· Pocket blueprints instantly.
· Surrender immediately.
· Repeat 10-12 times per hour.
Using this method, players have farmed some of the rarest Augment Blueprints-including the MK3 Survivor-in just a few sessions.
If you want blueprint progress that dramatically outpaces regular looting or event grinding, this is the most efficient and reliable system currently in ARC Raiders.
