ARC Raiders Best Blueprint Farm Guides: Stella Montis Night Raid Route

If we want blueprints fast in ARC Raiders, the best place to farm right now is Stella Montis during night raids. The map is smaller than most, the loot rooms are packed tightly together, and the right containers can drop a surprising number of blueprints in one run.

 

ARC Raiders Best Blueprint Farm Guides: Stella Montis Night Raid Route

 

This route is especially useful after an expedition reset, when we need to rebuild our crafting options quickly. It is not a guaranteed nine-blueprint run every time, but from experience, this is one of the most consistent ways to walk out with two to five blueprints, with lucky runs going much higher.



Why Stella Montis Night Raids Work So Well

Stella Montis is strong because we spend less time running and more time opening high-value containers. Night raids also tend to have better loot quality, which makes them the best condition for blueprint farming.

 

The goal is simple: hit dense loot areas early, check the containers players often ignore, then extract before greed ruins the run.

Factor Why It Matters
Small map size Faster rotations between loot zones
Night raid loot Better overall loot quality
Dense rooms More blueprint rolls per minute
Many overlooked containers Trash cans and cleaning machines often stay unlooted
Key room access Security Checkpoint can produce strong blueprint drops

 

If you spawn near a major loot area, farm that area first. If you spawn far away, do not sprint across the whole map just to find empty cabinets. Someone probably got there before you.

 

 

Best Loadout for Blueprint Runs

We do not need a perfect kit for this route. We need enough gear to survive, clear small ARC threats, and defend ourselves if another Raider gets aggressive.

Slot Recommended Choice Reason
Weapon Reliable mid-tier gun Good enough for ARC enemies and emergency fights
Key Security Checkpoint Key One of the best blueprint rooms on Stella Montis
Backpack Medium or larger Blueprints and crafting items fill space fast
Healing Basic heals and shield recharge Keeps the run alive after small mistakes

 

Do not bring gear so expensive that you play scared. Blueprint farming works best when we move quickly and make clean decisions.

 

Main Stella Montis Blueprint Route

The best route depends on spawn, but these are the areas we want to prioritize.

Priority Area What to Loot
1 Medical Wing Medical cabinets, drawers, bags
2 Loading Bay Green cabinets
3 Atrium Blue briefcases, cleaning machines
4 Lobby Briefcases, trash cans, cabinets
5 Security Checkpoint Key room containers
6 Business Center Blue briefcases, cleaning machines
7 Top Floor Rooms Metal cabinets, weapon cases

 

This route works because each stop has multiple containers that can roll blueprints. We are not chasing one magic box. We are stacking chances.

 

Best Containers to Open

A lot of players miss value because they only check obvious cabinets. From repeated runs, some of the boring containers are absolutely worth opening.

Container Priority Notes
Blue briefcases Very High Great for attachment and weapon-related blueprints
Green cabinets Very High Can drop grenade, attachment, and utility blueprints
Medical cabinets High Strong in Medical Wing
Trash cans High Surprisingly good; never skip them nearby
Cleaning machines Medium-High Can drop useful materials and occasional strong loot
Metal cabinets Medium-High Worth checking in upper rooms
Ammo boxes Medium Can roll certain weapon blueprints
Drawers Medium Best when grouped together

 

If you are short on time, open blue briefcases, green cabinets, medical containers, trash cans, and key room loot first.

 

Area Breakdown

Medical Wing

Medical Wing is one of the best starts on Stella Montis. It can produce medical, utility, augment, and general blueprint drops.

 

If you spawn here, loot it immediately. Check every cabinet, drawer, bag, and nearby trash can. This area gets cleared fast, so arriving late usually means slim pickings.

 

Best finds here often include:

  • Medical blueprints
  • Utility blueprints
  • Mine-related drops
  • Augment-style blueprints
  • Defib-related items

 

If you pull two or three blueprints early, start thinking about extraction instead of forcing the whole map.

 

Loading Bay

The green cabinets in Loading Bay are better than they look. They can drop useful blueprints, keys, and crafting items.

 

If you pass through this area, check the green cabinets every time. It takes very little time, and the upside is high.

 

Atrium and Cafeteria

The Atrium is close to the Lobby and has several containers players often rush past.

 

Look for:

  • Blue briefcases
  • Cleaning machines
  • Trash cans
  • Drawers
  • Weapon case spawns

 

The Cafeteria is more of a quick side check. If it is unlooted, open the drawers and small containers. If everything is already touched, move on.

 

Lobby

The Lobby is one of the strongest blueprint zones on the map. It has tons of briefcases, trash cans, cabinets, and side rooms.

 

The catch is that it is popular. If you spawn near Lobby, hit it early. If you arrive late, go upstairs and check the rooms people often ignore.

 

Good Lobby habits:

  • Check all blue briefcases.
  • Open every nearby trash can.
  • Look for metal cabinets upstairs.
  • Check side rooms before leaving.
  • Do not skip the darker top-floor area.

 

This is often where a normal run turns into a great one.

 

Security Checkpoint

If we bring one key, it should usually be the Security Checkpoint Key.

 

This room can be very good for augment-style blueprints and other high-value drops. It does not always explode with loot, but over repeated runs, it is one of the better locked rooms for blueprint farming.

Key Room Why It Is Worth It
Security Checkpoint Strong chance at useful augment and rare blueprint drops
No key route Still very viable if we farm Medical Wing, Lobby, and Business Center

 

If you already have several blueprints and the key room is far away, extract instead. A safe backpack beats a risky maybe.

 

Business Center

Business Center is packed with blue briefcases, which makes it a great late-route stop.

 

The main danger here is ticks. Clear them before looting. If one jumps you while you are carrying an item or distracted, the run can go bad quickly.

 

Once safe, check:

  • Blue briefcases
  • Cleaning machines
  • Trash cans
  • Ammo boxes
  • Nearby drawers

 

If this room is untouched, it can easily add one or two extra blueprints to a run.

 

When to Extract

This is where many blueprint runs fall apart. We find good loot, get excited, push one more room, and lose everything.

 

Use this simple rule:

Situation Best Decision
0–1 blueprints Keep farming if safe
2–3 blueprints Continue only if nearby rooms are untouched
4+ blueprints Start planning extraction
Rare blueprint found Extract unless the exit path is unsafe
Lobby feels active Leave instead of gambling

 

If your bag already has value, the run is successful. Do not let one extra cabinet turn into a loading-screen regret.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Blueprint farming is mostly about discipline. The route is simple, but small mistakes cost runs.

Mistake Better Play
Ignoring trash cans Open them when nearby
Running across the whole map late Farm your spawn side first
Skipping upper floors Check overlooked rooms and cabinets
Staying too long after good drops Extract once the bag is valuable
Fighting every player Avoid fights unless necessary
Forgetting ticks in Business Center Clear threats before looting

 

If you notice an area has already been looted, do not force it. Rotate to overlooked containers or leave.

Summary

The best blueprint farm in ARC Raiders is a focused Stella Montis night raid route built around Medical Wing, Loading Bay, Atrium, Lobby, Security Checkpoint, Business Center, and top-floor side rooms.

 

The logic is simple: spawn close, loot fast, prioritize the right containers, and extract once the backpack is worth protecting. We do not need to clear the whole map. We need to make every minute count.

 

For consistent results, farm the high-density rooms, never ignore trash cans, bring the Security Checkpoint Key when possible, and leave before a good run turns into a lost one.
