ARC Raiders Blueprint & Gear Farming

The workshop looks like one system and behaves like two.

The first wall is the recipe. Blueprints drop Topside, and when you pick one up you choose Learn and Consume to take the knowledge permanently. Duplicates are worth having anyway — they sell for a flat 5,000 each, which quietly makes blueprint-dense maps one of the better income routes in the game.

The second wall is the components. Knowing how to build something is not building it. A Gunsmith I recipe wants Simple Gun Parts and Mechanical Components and you'll find those incidentally. A Gunsmith III recipe wants Mod Components, Complex Gun Parts, Magnetic Accelerators and Reactors, and you will not find those incidentally at all.

Most stalled accounts have unlocked benches and nothing to put in them. That is the specific problem this service exists for.

You name the end state — a blueprint, a bench tier, a specific crafted weapon like Aphelion, Equalizer or Jupiter, or a list of components — and a verified Raider farms the maps those things actually come from until it's done.

The order finishes with the item or the recipe in your account, not with a shopping list handed back to you. If a craft needs both a blueprint you don't have and materials you don't have, both halves are in the order.

They're on the reset list with your level, skill points, inventory, coins, workshop upgrades, stash upgrades, Raider den progress and quest progress. What survives a departure is your unlocked workshop stations — the rooms stay, the recipes don't.

Expedition 5's departure window closes on 29 September 2026. If you're going this cycle, a large blueprint order right now is money set on fire with a schedule attached. Buy what you'll craft and use in the next two weeks; leave the collection run for afterwards.

If you're not departing, or you're rebuilding after one, this is one of the highest-value services on the site — because the thing you're buying back is the part of progression that takes longest to redo by hand.

Blueprints are world drops. They're not bought, not quest rewards in any reliable quantity, and not tied to level. You find them Topside, in the places worth going to, on the maps that make going there expensive.

That's the structural reason this service exists. The recipe you want is gated behind a map you don't run confidently, and the cost of learning to run it confidently is measured in lost kits rather than in hours.

Density varies enormously by map and by location within a map. A Raider who knows which rooms on Blue Gate are worth the walk finds more per run than someone sweeping the whole thing, and that difference — not raw hours — is most of what you're paying for.

Duplicates are not wasted. Every blueprint you already know sells for a flat 5,000, which makes a blueprint-dense route one of the more reliable income sources in the game once you've learned the common recipes.

It also means a farming order often pays for a meaningful chunk of itself in coins on the way through. We don't price that in — it's variable — but it's real, and it stays in your stash like everything else.

People arrive on this page with a component list and it's usually the wrong unit of order.

Say what you want to be able to do — "craft a Gunsmith III weapon", "stop dying to Matriarchs on Stella Montis", "have a repeatable loadout I can afford to lose" — and the cheapest route to that is often not the list you wrote down. Sometimes the answer is a Refiner tier instead of six raids. Sometimes it's a Gear Bench recipe you hadn't considered, because surviving is cheaper than replacing.

The calculator prices both shapes. Live chat will tell you which one is smaller.

Rough shapes, so you can sanity-check any quote anywhere.

Loyalty discounts grow with every order, and bundling two services drops the price on the second.

Your Raider level and which benches you've already built. Which maps you have unlocked. And whether you're departing before 29 September.

That last one has changed more orders on this page than price ever has.

There's a specific order of operations that saves people money, and it gets done backwards constantly.

If you tell support where you currently are on that ladder, the quote usually comes back smaller than the one you were expecting — because the right next step is often one rung down from the one you asked about.
