It's understandable that Arc Raiders Stella Montis is praised for its looks and vertical design, however, when considering raw loot density for the hard-to-find Wolfpack Blueprints, Buried City Night Raid is hands down the best. Although Stella is amazing, Buried City works the best for the efficient raider.

If you want to optimize your loot with ARC blueprints and weapon cases without running in circles for hours, you have to loot certain highly profitable structures. We have seen the best than average spawn rate for items like the Tempest and Wolfpack blueprints and have pin pointed the best drawers to open and the best buildings to loot.

↖ The Grandioso Apartments Route

The Grandioso Apartments needs to be your first looting target. It is worth going the distance to loot the Grandioso Apartments. It is a blueprint loot heaven and you have to loot the apartments in a vertical manner.

Roof and Upper Level

If possible, start with the roof. There's one room that you can access through a roof drop down that seems to offer consistent loot. We've retrieved a number of Wolfpack blueprints from the drawers in that room.

• Check the Drawers: Don't avoid the small pieces of furniture. The blueprints are in here.
• Security Breaches: Investigate the various wall breaches. We've recently been getting Volcanoes, Tempests, and Bobcats from these.

Zipline Platform Instructions

This is one of the most important things that will seem to skip. Once you've cleared the top housing zones, take the zipline to the isolated platform at the end of the building.

Why come here?

The platform is often a case for a weapon and has some more drawers.

The Blueprint Pool:

The spot has the same loot pool as the Tempest and Wolfpack blueprints. On one of our latest runs, we got a Wolfpack blueprint from this platform. If you are looking for the Tempest, this is your best spot also because they are in the same boxes.

↖ 2nd Secondary High-Value Target: Space Travel & Parking Lot

If the Apartments are picked clean your next rotation should be the Space Travel building by the parking lot.

The Breachable Room

In Space Travel, there is a breachable room with some medical cabinets. Don't be fooled by the medical label.

Loot Table:

This room on average has a higher than normal chance to loot Tempest, Wolfpack, and Backpack blueprints.

Access:

You are able to breach the door to get in, or, should you have a snap hook or zip line, you can access it from the lower levels or the parking lot.

↖ The Environmental Looting: Solar Panels and Weapon Crates

While you are on the lookout for blueprints, there are multiple types of environmental loot that are often left unsearched.

Power Rods from Solar Panels

On top of the residential buildings you can find solar panels. These are the best places to check for Power Rods. If you are in the middle of crafting things that require a power component, this is the best place to look.

Locations of Gun Cases

In the Buried City, there are hidden corners of weapon cases.

The current info we have shows the following items being dropped:

• Venator (Level 1): A decent weapon getting added often.
• Osprey (Level 1): has weapon cases on the apartment platforms and is common.
• Anvil (Level 1): It's reliable and not rare.

↖ Loot Table: Where to Loot

To optimize your runs, flowing is the breakdown of what we find in certain areas.

↖ FAQ

Can I find the Tempest Blueprint in the same spot as the Wolfpack?

Sure. They have the same loot pool.

While looting a container in the Grandioso Apartments, for example, a Wolfpack, that same container may have previously spawned a Tempest, and may do so again in a future raid.

Is checking Ammo Caches worth it?

In most cases, checking ammo caches will not be worth your time as we assume that you have entered the raid with some resources (if not, this may not apply to you), and in this case, the time spent checking ammo caches is not justified compared to the time spent checking weapon cases and blueprint drawers. We usually skip them to maintain momentum.

What to do if Grandioso Apartments have already been looted.

If you see that doors have already been opened and drawers emptied, head directly for the Space Travel building or the Red Tower. Be sure to check the isolated Zipline Platform noted above — some players loot the main building but forget to zip line to the platform.

↖ Optimizing Your Extraction

Speed and verticality are crucial in the Buried City Night Raid. Hit the Apartments and Space Travel fast. The Buried City Night Raid includes two pullable Wolfpack Blueprints which proves its drop rate is better than all the other maps. Other players aren't a concern when you have the Red Tower and the Apartments to spiral loot and extract a full bag of valuables. The Red Tower and Apartments are designed for vertical mobility, so look for loot in the higher drawers. Prioritize the blueprints on your way to extract.
