New blueprint trick — quick summary
The new blueprint trick leverages quick map resets, targeted enemy triggers, and reliable loot pool refreshes to massively increase blueprint drop rates on Stella Montis. In short: clear a compact, high-density zone that contains multiple unique spawn tables, pick up every dropped blueprint and item, then perform a fast map reset sequence (detailed later) that forces the zone to re-roll its loot table without a long cooldown. Repeating this sequence in tight loops gives more blueprint encounters per hour than normal full-game pacing.
Why use it: instead of hoping for blueprints across a long, sprawling run, this method concentrates attempts into short, repeatable bursts — maximizing the number of independent blueprint rolls you get per hour.
Why this works: loot mechanics and spawn logic
To make the most of the trick, you need a concise understanding of how Arc Raiders treats loot and blueprint generation (practical, not technical):
Blueprints spawn from specific loot tables tied to enemy types, chest types, and event containers on Stella Montis. Not every enemy can drop every blueprint; certain patrols and mid-boss spawns are the high-yield sources.
Loot is rolled per spawn instance. Each time the game spawns a loot source, it executes a fresh roll. More independent spawn instances = more chances.
Zone resets and instance refreshes can re-roll the same spawn locations rapidly if you trigger a fast map reset sequence (the trick). This effectively compresses time between independent spawn rolls.
Group play multiplies loot opportunities if your team splits properly; however, poor splits reduce the per-player blueprint rate because the game often prevents duplicate blueprint drops in the same instance for balance. Proper role assignment solves this.
This guide uses those behaviors to create a repeatable loop that increases successful blueprint rolls while minimizing downtime.
Before you run: loadouts, mods, and checklist
Recommended class roles and gear
Scout / Runner (solo option) — high mobility, reduced cooldowns, invis/motion assists. Useful for snatching chests and kite-heavy spawns. Recommended mods: Sprint Efficiency, Shock Absorption, and Loot Magnet if available.
Damage Dealer — AoE and high single-target burst to clear patrols and mini-bosses quickly. Mods: Overload Rounds, Thermal Rounds, and Damage Amp.
Crowd Controller / Specialist — slows, roots, or traps to gather enemies into predictable clusters for fast clears. Mods: Time Dilation, Root Grenade, Stasis Field.
Support / Utility — healer or shield generator to reduce wipes and speed up re-clears; also useful for revives without losing run momentum. Mods: Rapid Mend, Shield Relay.
Mandatory pre-run checklist
Full inventory space for loot pickup (clear inventory to prevent auto-salvage).
At least one fast-travel point on Stella Montis unlocked (for long resets if needed).
Store a single spare revives and expendables on hotkey for speed.
Party composition: if playing with more than one, assign one player to command resets and timing.
Note and memorize 6-8 high-density spawn points on Stella Montis (route provided).
Ensure network stability and low packet loss — fast resets demand consistent server responses.
Route A (solo-friendly) — full waypoint-by-waypoint route
This route is tuned for solo players who want high blueprint attempts with minimal navigation overhead. Expect about 8–12 high-value spawn rolls per loop (loop time ~6–9 minutes depending on skill).
Preparation
Equip mobility-focused perks and a reliable single-target burst weapon.
Start at Stella Montis drop-in zone; fast-run to the first waypoint.
Waypoint 1: Old Transit Hub (1:00–1:30 run)
Why: compact area with two patrol spawners and a high-chest spawn.
Action: clear patrols, open chest, pick up all drops. Tag enemy spawns to ensure spawn table exhaustion.
Waypoint 2: Botanical Atrium (2:00)
Why: multiple small containers and 1 elite wave.
Action: AoE-clear the elite, loot the green containers; watch for unique crate spawn that can contain rare blueprint rolls.
Waypoint 3: Solar Platform (3:15)
Why: mid-boss spawn + 2 small patrols.
Action: focus DPS to get mid-boss down fast; pick up any unique drops.
Waypoint 4: Underground Vault Entrance (4:15)
Why: chest cluster and potential timed event.
Action: trigger the timed event if active — it forces multiple independent spawns (useful for extra rolls).
Waypoint 5: Central Plaza (5:30)
Why: guaranteed event container spawn triggered by clearing surrounding mobs.
Action: clear and loot; immediately begin reset sequence.
After looting Central Plaza, perform the fast reset sequence (explained in the dedicated section). Repeat loop.
Route B (4-player optimized) — role breakdown and split routes
For a coordinated team, the objective is to maximize independent loot rolls while avoiding redundant grabs that lead to fewer unique blueprint chances.
Team assignments
Runner A (Path sweeper): Runs Route Alpha (Old Transit Hub → Botanical Atrium) and hooks small patrols.
Runner B (Path sweeper): Runs Route Beta (Solar Platform → Underground Vault).
DPS / Anchor: Stays near Central Plaza, handles boss pulls and opens event containers.
Support / Reset Manager: Controls the reset sequence and coordinates extraction window.
Split-route logic
Each runner clears their route independently and tags spawns. The DPS consolidates bosses into the plaza to trigger the event there. When all four confirm loot is collected, the Reset Manager triggers the fast reset sequence. The game sees multiple independent spawn instances across different zones — this multiplies roll opportunities without causing shared-drop conflicts.
How to force blueprint respawns fast (the trick, step-by-step)
This is the core of the guide. Follow exactly.
Choose a compact cluster of 3–5 spawn points that can be cleared in under 90 seconds (use Route A or split routes from Route B).
Clear every spawner and chest in the cluster, and pick up all loot. Important: make sure you physically pick up blueprint items; leaving them in world registers as claimed but uncollected and can block re-rolls.
Immediately trigger a short disconnect-reset sequence that’s fast and reliable:
Solo: use the local “Exit to Menu” option (fast) and then immediately rejoin the Stella Montis instance via Quick Play or direct map selection.
Party: Party leader triggers the same exit sequence; other players stay in the lobby for a fast rejoin.
Re-enter the map and fast-travel to the same cluster. The spawn tables will have been re-evaluated and will generate independent loot rolls again.
Repeat as needed.
Why this works: exiting and re-entering an instance forces the server to create fresh spawn instances for the relevant zones. Because the cluster is small and fast to clear, you reduce downtime between independent loot rolls, raising blueprint-rolls-per-hour.
Practical tips:
If you use “Exit to Menu,” don’t spend time browsing — immediately rejoin/respawn into the same map.
Use the game's fast-travel directly to the cluster spawn point to reduce traversal.
If the server implements cooldowns on specific containers, shift to another nearby cluster in the interim (two-cluster rotation).
Timing, pacing, and when to extract
Ideal loop time: aim for 6–9 minutes for a solo loop; for 4-player optimized loops, aim for 4–6 minutes thanks to parallelization.
Extraction: extract only when you’ve hit inventory limits or to bank a guaranteed rare blueprint; otherwise keep looping. Extracting too often reduces per-hour roll counts.
Session planning: run in blocks of 45–60 minutes with a 5–10 minute break to avoid diminishing returns from player fatigue and to re-evaluate route tweaks.
Farming loop: run, reset, repeat — expected yields
The yield depends on RNG, but using the trick increases blueprint attempts dramatically.
Average blueprint-rolls-per-loop (solo): 6–12 independent rolls. Expect realistic rare blueprint hits every ~40–80 loops (heavily influenced by drop rates).
Average per-hour for efficient solo runners: 8–12 loops/hour → 48–144 independent rolls/hour.
Team (4 players) theoretical maximum: 3× solo rate in practice due to parallel spawns and reduced downtime — realistic yield is 120–320 rolls/hour across party if coordinated correctly.
Note: “rolls” are not guaranteed unique blueprint drops. This increases chance but does not guarantee 74 blueprints in a session. Use the provided checklist and run patterns to systematically target missing blueprint types.
Blueprint checklist and tracking method
Use this printable checklist approach: list all 74 blueprints, group by spawn source (patrol, chest, mid-boss, event container), and tick off as you find them. Always mark the map spawn where a blueprint dropped — this helps you refine routes and eliminates low-yield areas.
Example checklist format (one-line per blueprint):
Blueprint 1 — spawn type; last seen at [Waypoint name]
Blueprint 2 — spawn type; last seen at [Waypoint name]
Maintain a running session log:
Loop #, time, blueprints found (names), notes on spawn behavior.
Over multiple sessions you’ll see patterns — some blueprints prefer certain patrols or are more likely during specific events. Record them.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
Leaving blueprints on the ground: never leave a blueprint pickup behind. It may block respawns.
Over-splitting in teams: too many splits across the map reduce independent rolls and increase duplicate drops; use 2–3 focused clusters instead.
Slow reset timing: take too long to reset and you’ll lose the short-window advantage. Practice the exit→rejoin cadence.
Ignoring spawn tables: not all spots are equal — use the checklist to abandon dead-end spawns and focus on high-yield clusters.
If a cluster appears “dry” for multiple loops, switch to the second cluster for 3–4 loops before returning; persistent dryness suggests a local cooldown or temporary server-side balancing.
Variation: low-skill or casual play
If you’re not optimized for short bursts or are playing casually:
Use Route A at a slower pace and do longer extraction intervals (banking more loot each run).
Prioritize survivability over speed: keeping runs consistent will still give you steady blueprint progress, just slower.
Consider joining public groups that already run Stella Montis loops — you’ll get higher roll counts and community tips in real time.

FAQ
What exactly counts as a “blueprint roll”?
A blueprint roll is each independent loot instance where the game evaluates whether to spawn a blueprint from a given spawn table; faster resets increase the number of these independent evaluations per hour.
Will this trick get me duplicates more often?
You may see duplicates; the trick increases attempts, so duplicates can occur. Track what you get to avoid wasting time on locations that consistently produce duplicates.
Can I do this solo or do I need a full squad?
Both. Solo players benefit from the compact loop; squads get higher absolute rolls per hour if they coordinate splits. A full squad with proper role assignment accelerates the process.
Does this count as exploit or bannable?
This method uses normal in-game mechanics (clearing, exiting, rejoining). It does not rely on hacks or third-party tools. Check official TOS for policy updates; mechanics-only techniques have historically been allowed.
How many hours should I expect to get all 74 blueprints?
RNG variance is high. Using this trick diligently, expect a realistic multi-session grind: 10–40 hours depending on luck, grouping, and focus. Use target lists to prioritize rare spawns.
Do I need specific mods to increase blueprint drop chance?
Mods that increase loot pickup speed, chest rarity, or enemy item rolls are helpful but not required. Focus on mobility and consistent clear speeds for the best hourly results.
What if a blueprint never drops in my session?
Don’t stick to one spot endlessly. Switch clusters and keep a session log. Blueprint distribution is not uniform; moving increases your chance to hit different spawn tables.
Are there events or weekly changes that influence drops?
Yes — seasonal events or balance patches can shift loot behavior. Monitor patch notes and adapt routes if developers change spawn tables.
Advanced tips and optimizations
Micro-route the cluster: learn a path that minimizes backtracking; shave 10–20 seconds per loop.
Use hotkeys for consumables and re-rolls to save time when entering chests.
Keep a small “bait” run: clear a single high-yield spawn and exit-rejoin quickly to test if a blueprint is available before committing to a full loop.
Rotate weapon loadouts between loops to adapt to specific elite types on Stella Montis.
Closing notes and session plan template
Use this session plan for a 2-hour focused run:
Warm-up (10 minutes): run Route A slowly to confirm spawn behavior.
Focused loops (90 minutes): run the fast repeat loops using the reset trick. Track everything.
Cooldown (20 minutes): review the session log, record missing blueprints, plan the next session.
Keep a lightweight spreadsheet or a page in your notebook tracking blueprints by spawn and last-found waypoint. Over time, the pattern will shorten the grind dramatically.
