ARC Raiders: The Ultimate Blueprint Farming Guide - Buried City Route
After 500+ hours of gameplay and nearly 300 hours specifically testing blueprint routes, I've developed what I firmly believe is the most efficient and safest path for farming blueprints on Buried City, and if you're looking to ARC Raiders Items supplement your farming efforts, you can always buy ARC Raiders Items to complete your collection faster. Following this exact route after the latest expedition update, I've already collected over half of the available blueprints in the game. This guide breaks down my complete route, the key buildings you need to prioritize, and the exact order to hit them for maximum efficiency and safety.
Spawn Dependent Adjustments
This guide assumes a south-side spawn, which is arguably the best starting position for blueprint farming. If you spawn elsewhere, you'll need to adjust, but the core principle remains: prioritize high-value buildings in a logical rotation that minimizes travel time and maximizes uncontested loot opportunities.
The Complete Route Breakdown
1. Plaza Rosa Pharmacy (Primary Target)
Location: South side of Buried City
Priority: IMMEDIATE if you spawn nearby
This is unequivocally the best building on Buried City for blueprints. The concentration of containers here is unmatched, and as demonstrated in the run, it can single-handedly make your raid successful.
What we found:
· Hatch Key
· Muzzle Break 3 Blueprint
· Sentry Turret
· Multiple high-value attachments
· Why it's worth rushing: The pharmacy consistently produces blueprints even after multiple behavior updates. Don't waste time—if you spawn close, hit this building first before anyone else can get to it.
Pro Tip: Even if you don't find blueprints immediately, the attachment spawns here are exceptional and will pad your wallet significantly.
2. Breachable Room Building (Opposite the Street)
Location: Directly across from the well-known contested building
Why this over the other breachable room: The other room across the street is one of the most contested spots on the map. Nine times out of ten, if you're not first, it's already looted. This alternative breachable room offers comparable loot with significantly less traffic.
What we found:
· Weapon Case (Torrenti)
· Globe (Pink item)
· Multiple containers
· Strategy: Even if you don't find blueprints here, the weapon case spawn makes this worth checking. The room contains four containers and has historically been a reliable blueprint location.
3. Santa Maria Houses
Location: Adjacent to the breachable room area
Reality Check: These days, Santa Maria is often hit early. In our run, it was partially looted, but we still secured an unlooted weapon case.
What to look for:
· Ground floor containers
· Security breach potential
· Weapon case spawns
· Adaptation: If Santa Maria is fully looted, don't linger. Move immediately to the next location. The key to efficient blueprint farming is momentum—don't waste time on picked-over buildings.
4. Red Tower (Unmarked Location)
Location: Between Santa Maria and the second pharmacy
Why it's special: This unmarked building is frequently overlooked, making it a goldmine for late-route looting.
What we found:
· Betina Blueprint
· Silencer 2 Blueprint
· Large Weapon Case
Loot Points:
· Second floor lockers (though blueprints from lockers are rare, check anyway)
· Weapon case spawns
· Climb the ladders for additional loot
· The Takeaway: Never skip unmarked buildings. The most experienced players gravitate toward named locations, leaving these hidden gems untouched longer into the raid.

5. Plaza Bristol Pharmacy (Secondary)
Location: Near the extract point, opposite side from Plaza Rosa
Comparison: This pharmacy has fewer containers than Plaza Rosa but remains worth checking.
What we found:
· Stable Stock 2 Blueprint
· Adrenaline Shots
· Various attachments
Loot Layout:
· Ground floor containers
· Second floor with four containers
· Suitcase spawns
· Note: While statistically less likely to produce blueprints than Plaza Rosa, it still offers solid attachment spawns and the occasional blueprint, as demonstrated.
6. Space Travel Building
Location: Central area, near research building
Loot Priority Floors: 3rd, 5th, and 6th floors
What to know: Space Travel is one of the best blueprint locations on the map. The concentration of containers on specific floors makes it a must-hit.
Floor Breakdown:
· 3rd Floor: High-value container cluster
· 4th Floor: Key card room location
· 5th & 6th Floors: Primary loot areas
· Our Experience: Space Travel was half-looted in our run—someone had found something valuable and extracted early. This happens frequently ARCR Items for sale. Even partially looted, check remaining containers.
· Communication Tip: In our run, we encountered French players and coordinated verbally. A simple "friendly?" can save your run. Most players are focused on their own objectives.
