Augment Blueprint farming in ARC Raiders is painful because the drops are rare and the best rooms are usually contested. The cleanest workaround right now is simple: run Bluegate during Close Scrutiny, rush Reinforced Reception, breach the loot room, and reset fast.
This works because most players ignore loot during Close Scrutiny. We don't.

↖ Best ARC Raiders Augment Blueprint Farm Location
The target is Reinforced Reception on Bluegate.
More specifically, we want the breachable room inside Reinforced Reception. Even during Close Scrutiny, this room can still roll valuable blueprint loot.
↖ Why This Room Matters
| Target | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Augment Blueprints | Very High | Main reason to run this route |
| Complex Gun Parts Blueprint | High | Shares valuable blueprint loot pool |
| Weapon Part Blueprints | Medium-High | Good backup value |
| Keys | Medium | Extract if the key is worth it |
| Medical / filler loot | Low | Ignore unless needed |
The key detail: Close Scrutiny removes a lot of normal loot pressure, but this room still pays. That means fewer players contest it.

↖ Best Spawns for the Bluegate Close Scrutiny Route
Spawn quality decides the run. If we spawn close, we rush. If we spawn too far, we reset.
| Spawn Area | Run Quality | Call |
|---|---|---|
| Data Vault | Best | Sprint straight to Reinforced Reception |
| Village | Great | Pop stamina and rush |
| Raider's Refuge | Good | Push fast, avoid fights |
| Maintenance Bunker | Usable | Take the fast entrance route |
| Ancient Fort | Bad | Reset if farming only |
| Far edge spawns | Bad | Usually not worth the time |
If you spawn near Data Vault or Village, this is a premium run. Go immediately.
If you spawn near Ancient Fort, don't force it. A bad spawn turns a 2-minute farm into a 10-minute gamble.
↖ Recommended Loadout for Augment Blueprint Farming
Do not overgear this farm. The whole point is low risk and fast resets.
| Item | Bring? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Stamina / stim shots | Yes | Faster rush to Reinforced Reception |
| Basic heal | Yes | Covers chip damage from ARC |
| Cheap weapon | Optional | Only for emergencies |
| Heavy armor | No | Wastes money on reset runs |
| High-value backpack | No | Not needed for one-room farming |
| Breach requirement | Yes | Mandatory for the loot room |
Best setup: cheap kit + stamina shots + basic heal.
If you find a rare Augment Blueprint, extract. If the room is trash, reset. Clean and efficient.
↖ Step-by-Step Bluegate Close Scrutiny Strategy
↖ 1. Queue Bluegate During Close Scrutiny
This condition looks bad for loot. That's why it works.
Most players focus on ARC enemies or objectives. Many ignore Reinforced Reception completely.
↖ 2. Check Spawn Instantly
Use this rule:
- Close spawn ➔ Rush Reinforced Reception.
- Far spawn ➔ Reset if farming only.
- Middle spawn ➔ Push if you have stamina shots.
Do not stop for random containers. Do not chase fights. This is a blueprint route, not a full loot run.
↖ 3. Rush Reinforced Reception
Move straight to the breachable room.
If flying ARC spots you, keep running. Fighting outside wastes time and gives other players a chance to reach the room first.
↖ 4. Breach the Room and Loot Fast
Once inside:
- Close the door if possible.
- Check black boxes first.
- Check containers with 3–4 visible item slots.
- Grab any Augment Blueprint immediately.
- Skip weak filler loot unless extracting.
Containers with more item slots are not guaranteed, but they are the best priority.
↖ 5. Decide: Extract or Reset
| Result | Best Move |
|---|---|
| Augment Blueprint found | Extract |
| Rare key found | Consider extracting |
| Multiple blueprints found | Extract |
| Only filler loot | Reset |
| Room already opened | Reset or continue normal raid |
Do not get greedy after finding the blueprint you need. Secure it.
↖ Expected Results From Real Runs
This route is RNG-based, but the room is good enough to justify repeated attempts.
| Run | Spawn | Room Status | Best Loot | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Data Vault | Unlooted | 2 blueprints + key | Good |
| 2 | Village | Unlooted | Smoke Augment Blueprint | Excellent |
| 3 | Village | Unlooted | Nothing valuable | Bad |
| 4 | Data Vault | Unlooted | Complex Gun Parts Blueprint | Decent |
| 5 | Maintenance Bunker | Unlooted | Aggressive Augment Blueprint | Excellent |
In this sample set, 2 out of 5 runs produced Augment Blueprints. That is not a fixed drop rate. It is a realistic example of why the method is worth spamming.
The strongest part is not guaranteed loot. It is low contest + fast reset + high-value room access.
↖ Close Scrutiny vs Normal Bluegate Farming
Normal Bluegate has more loot overall. It also has more players fighting over it.
Close Scrutiny has less general loot, but Reinforced Reception still has blueprint potential.
| Factor | Close Scrutiny Bluegate | Normal Bluegate |
|---|---|---|
| Loot room contest | Lower | Higher |
| General loot | Lower | Higher |
| Blueprint room value | High | High |
| Gear risk | Low | Medium |
| Best use | Augment Blueprint rushing | Full loot runs |
For pure ARC Raiders Augment Blueprint farming, Close Scrutiny is often the better grind.
↖ Common Mistakes That Kill This Farm
↖ Fighting ARC Outside
Don't. Run past them unless blocked.
↖ Bringing Expensive Gear
Bad idea. This route is built around resets.
↖ Looting Random Areas
Skip them. The money is in Reinforced Reception.
↖ Forcing Bad Spawns
If the spawn is far, reset. Time is the real currency.
↖ Staying After Bad Loot
If the room gives nothing, leave. Run it again.
↖ FAQ
↖ What is the best Augment Blueprint farm in ARC Raiders?
One of the best current methods is Bluegate Close Scrutiny into the Reinforced Reception breachable room. It has strong blueprint potential and lower player contest than normal loot routes.
↖ Why farm Augment Blueprints during Close Scrutiny?
Because most players assume Close Scrutiny has no loot worth chasing. That leaves Reinforced Reception ignored more often, even though its breachable room can still drop valuable blueprints.
↖ What are the best spawns for this route?
The best spawns are Data Vault and Village. Raider's Refuge and Maintenance Bunker are usable. Ancient Fort is usually a reset if you only care about farming blueprints.
↖ What gear should I bring for this farm?
Bring stamina shots, a basic heal, and the required breach setup. Keep weapons and armor cheap. This is a fast-reset farm, not a geared PvP run.
↖ Should I extract after finding an Augment Blueprint?
Yes. If the blueprint is rare or one you need, extract immediately. Greed is the fastest way to turn a perfect run into nothing.
↖ Summary
The best low-risk way to farm Augment Blueprints in ARC Raiders is to run Bluegate during Close Scrutiny and rush the Reinforced Reception breachable room.
The loop is simple:
- Queue Bluegate Close Scrutiny.
- Take only a cheap kit.
- Rush Reinforced Reception.
- Loot high-value containers first.
- Extract with Augment Blueprints.
- Reset bad spawns and bad rooms.
This strategy works because players underestimate Close Scrutiny. We use that mistake to farm one of the best blueprint rooms on the map with less competition and almost no gear risk.
