↖ Arc Raiders Legendary Items and Blueprint Sources 2026

Use this table as the fast checklist before picking a raid.

Rule of thumb:

If it has no blueprint, farm dense containers. If it has an event source, wait for the right map condition.

↖ Kinetic Converter Farm: Best Routes and Containers

The Kinetic Converter gives +15% fire rate and adds recoil. Strong mod, no blueprint. You must loot it directly.

↖ Best Kinetic Converter Locations

↖ Best Route

Start with Riven Tides Hotel.

Take the outside zipline to the 4th floor, enter, turn right, and clear the loot room. If ARC patrols lock down the exterior, enter from ground level and use the internal west-side zipline.

If you want safer repeat farming, run Buried City pharmacies. They are less flashy, but the drawer density is excellent.

↖ What to Open

Prioritize:

• Red lockers
• Breachable containers
• Brown dresser drawers
• Small white cabinet drawers
• Recycling bins

Do not waste time opening low-value junk once your route is hot. Loot fast, reset, repeat.

↖ Anvil Splitter Farm: Same Route, Different Drop

The Anvil Splitter turns Anvil shots into four pellets. If all pellets hit, damage improves slightly. If they miss, it feels worse. Simple.

There is no Anvil Splitter blueprint.

↖ Best Anvil Splitter Farm

Use the same route as Kinetic Converter:

1. Buried City pharmacies

2. Riven Tides Hotel

3. Dam Hydroponic Dome

4. Spaceport breach rooms

From repeated farming, Buried City has been the most consistent Anvil Splitter route. Run it during night raids or increased loot value conditions for better odds.

↖ Snap Hook Blueprint and Item Farm

The Snap Hook is one of the best items in Arc Raiders. It changes routes, escapes, tower access, and loot speed. Farm this early.

↖ Best Snap Hook Blueprint Source

Best target farm: Dam Research/Admin during Electromagnetic Storm.

Go top floor. Hit every desk drawer and breachable container. If another squad beats you there, rotate. Fighting in office cubicles for a blueprint is usually a bad trade.

↖ Snap Hook Direct Drop

For the item itself, farm the same loot pools as:

• Kinetic Converter
• Anvil Splitter
• High-tier weapon mods

That means red lockers, breach boxes, and dense drawer routes.

↖ Scrappy Rewards: Use Him, Do Not Trust Him

Scrappy can reward rare items, but the odds are brutal.

In one test sample, 100+ Agaves gave zero Kinetic Converters and zero Anvil Splitters. That tells us enough.

Best play: feed Scrappy in the background, then farm manually. Treat any rare Scrappy reward as a bonus, not a plan.

↖ Matriarch Reactor Farm

The Matriarch Reactor comes from the Matriarch event.

↖ Best Method: Break Leg Armor

Do not tunnel on killing the Matriarch. The safer play is leg armor.

Execution:

1. Bring an armor-breaking weapon.

2. Shoot the Matriarch's legs from range.

3. Break the armor plates.

4. Throw smoke.

5. Loot the fallen armor.

6. Leave before players collapse on the area.

The dead core can also drop reactors, but it becomes a magnet for every Raider nearby. Leg armor is faster and less contested.

↖ Scrappy Fruit Mix Method

Scrappy can give Matriarch-related materials from Fruit Mix, but odds are low.

Fruit Mix needs:

You need the in-round crafting perk from the survival tree to craft it during a raid.

↖ Queen Reactor Farm

The Queen Reactor comes from the Harvester event.

↖ Best Method: Loot Queen Leg Armor

The Queen guards the Harvester. Treat her like the Matriarch: break leg armor, smoke, loot, leave.

Recommended setup:

• Armor-breaking weapon
• Smoke grenades
• Clear extraction route
• Enough carry capacity

The Queen Reactor is heavy. If you grab it while overloaded, your escape becomes painful fast.

↖ Guitar Location in 2026

The old Buried City secret method is gone.

Now the Guitar is bought from Shawnee at Speranzo.

It is not a power item. It is style. Buy it when you have spare credits.

↖ Aphelion Blueprint Farm

The Aphelion is a legendary burst rifle. After buffs, it has better recoil, faster ADS, and improved fire rate. It also accepts attachments, which makes it more flexible than most legendary weapons.

↖ Best Aphelion Blueprint Source

↖ Best Stella Montis Route

Go straight to Loading Bay.

Open:

• Breachable containers
• Red lockers
• Green drawers on shipping containers
• Nearby high-value containers

If you find the blueprint, pocket it and extract. Do not greed ten more boxes. That is how good raids turn into free loot for someone else.

↖ Equalizer and Jupiter Blueprint Farm

The Equalizer and Jupiter are top-tier legendary weapons. Both come from the Harvester event.

The Jupiter is especially valuable after buffs and performs well against dangerous targets like the Turbine ARC, where close-range fights get ugly.

↖ Harvester Puzzle Steps

↖ Harvester Survival Notes

Listen for audio cues.

If you hear a loud charging or whirring sound, leave the Harvester immediately. Fire damage can wipe you before you finish looting.

Also watch for:

• Queen pressure outside
• Electro-shock attacks
• Players camping exits
• Greed after puzzle completion

Best result: finish puzzle, loot containers, pocket blueprint, extract.

↖ Dolabra Blueprint Farm

The Dolabra is the newest legendary weapon here. Hip-fire acts like a shotgun. ADS acts more like a railgun for medium-to-long range.

The blueprint drops from Assessors during Close Scrutiny.

↖ Best Dolabra Setup

↖ How to Loot Assessors

Execution is simple but dangerous:

1. Approach the Assessor.

2. Wait for the ledge.

3. Start breaching one column.

4. At halfway, expect ARC reinforcements.

5. Drop smoke at your feet.

6. Finish the breach.

7. Loot fast.

8. Use Photoelectric Cloak and leave.

Important nerf: Photoelectric Cloak now lasts 9.5 seconds after the Riven Tides update. Bring extra smoke. The cloak gets you moving; smoke keeps you alive.

The Dolabra blueprint drop rate is low. Expect multiple Assessors.

↖ Best Farming Priority in Arc Raiders 2026

If you are not sure what to chase first, use this order.

Newer players should farm Snap Hook first. Movement wins raids before damage does.

↖ FAQ

↖ How do you get the Kinetic Converter in Arc Raiders?

Farm it directly from red lockers, breachable containers, drawers, and high-value loot rooms. Best maps are Riven Tides, Buried City, Dam Battlegrounds, and Spaceport. There is no blueprint.

↖ Does the Anvil Splitter have a blueprint?

No. The Anvil Splitter blueprint does not currently exist. Farm the item directly from the same routes used for Kinetic Converter.

↖ Where is the best Snap Hook blueprint farm?

The best farm is Dam Battlegrounds Research and Administration during Electromagnetic Storm. Check top-floor desk drawers and breachable containers.

↖ Can Scrappy give legendary items?

Yes, but the odds are very low. Agave can roll weapon mods, Prickly Pear can roll Snap Hook-type rewards, and Fruit Mix can roll reactor materials. Use Scrappy only as a passive bonus.

↖ How do you get the Aphelion blueprint?

Farm Stella Montis night raids, especially Loading Bay. Open breachable containers, red lockers, and green shipping-container drawers.

↖ Where do Equalizer and Jupiter blueprints drop?

Both drop from the Harvester puzzle. Collect three power cells, insert them into the center column, shoot all yellow buttons, then loot the center containers.

↖ How do you get the Dolabra blueprint?

Farm Assessors during the Close Scrutiny event. Breach Assessor columns, use smoke when ARC reinforcements arrive, and extract with Photoelectric Cloak.

↖ How do you get Queen and Matriarch Reactors?

Break and loot leg armor from the Queen during Harvester or the Matriarch during Matriarch events. Smoke the loot, grab the reactor, and leave.

↖ Can you still unlock the Guitar through the Buried City secret?

No. In 2026, buy the Guitar from Shawnee at Speranzo for 70 credits, limited to one per day.

↖ Summary

The cleanest Arc Raiders legendary farming path is:

1. Farm Snap Hook blueprint first.

2. Run dense loot routes for Kinetic Converter and Anvil Splitter.

3. Farm Aphelion on Stella Montis night raids.

4. Complete Harvester for Equalizer and Jupiter.

5. Hit Close Scrutiny Assessors for Dolabra.

6. Break boss leg armor for Queen and Matriarch Reactors.

7. Buy the Guitar from Shawnee when credits are spare.

The best farming habit is simple: target the right source, loot the right container, pocket the drop, extract immediately. Greed kills more legendary runs than ARC does.
