In Arc Raiders, Legendary items and Blueprints are of paramount importance, as they directly determine your raid strategy and overall gameplay experience.
With the launch of Riven Tides, Arc Raiders has introduced a new map and new enemy types. Consequently, the map layout and resource distribution have undergone significant changes; as a result, farming certain Legendary items and Blueprints now requires new strategies. You will need to re-familiarize yourself with their current spawn locations and acquisition methods.
Below, we will walk through the specific locations of these rare items and Blueprints one by one, detailing how you can reliably and efficiently add them to your inventory.
Legendary Attachments and Items
Item Overview
Kinetic Converter boosts your weapon's fire rate by 15%, though this comes at the cost of increasing the weapon's recoil by 20%. However, not every weapon in Arc Raiders is adversely affected by high recoil; furthermore, you can mitigate this negative effect by pairing the attachment with other complementary mods.
Anvil Splitter splits your Anvil Shot into four separate projectiles, effectively functioning like a miniature shotgun blast. While the damage dealt by a single projectile is lower than that of a standard Anvil Shot, if you manage to land all four projectiles on a single target, the theoretically combined damage output will be slightly higher than a standard shot.
Snap Hook is arguably the most enjoyable Quick-Use item introduced to Arc Raiders since its launch last year. Once acquired, it unlocks an entirely new dimension of vertical mobility. Moreover, once you have finished using it, you can conveniently stow it directly back into your Safe Pocket.
Farming Locations
I recommend four specific maps for farming these Legendary items and attachments.
Riven Tides
First up is Riven Tides. As the newest map in Arc Raiders, it features an excellent loot spawn point hidden within the hotel located at the westernmost edge of the building complex. Specifically, this loot cache can be found on the fourth floor of the hotel.
If you are approaching the hotel from the exterior, you can utilize a zipline to ascend directly to the fourth floor. Once there, simply head indoors and turn right to locate the room containing the loot. Upon entering, be sure to thoroughly search every red locker and recycling bin within the room. If the hotel's exterior is heavily guarded by patrolling ARC personnel, you can enter the building directly from the ground floor.
Then, head to the western end of the structure and use the zipline to ascend all the way up to the fourth floor. Inside the red lockers found there, you have a very high chance of finding high-tier weapon attachments, including Converter, Anvil Splitter, and Snap Hooks.
Dam Battlegrounds
Next up is Dam Battlegrounds; your primary landing zone should be the cluster of buildings located within Hydroponic Dome Complex. These structures contain both red lockers and standard loot crates; you should open as many of these containers as possible.
If this area has already been looted by other players, you can proceed to search Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments. Thoroughly search every destructible crate you can find, as well as all brown wardrobe drawers; these spots also offer a chance of yielding the loot you are seeking.
Snap Hook blueprint is relatively easy to find within Dam Battlegrounds, specifically in Research and Administration Building area. You will need to search every office desk drawer within this zone.
Additionally, do not overlook any loot containers; these spots may also conceal blueprints. Electromagnetic Storm event also serves to increase the drop rate of Snap Hook blueprint.
Buried City
In Buried City, your first priority should be to search Pharmacy building located near Piazza Arbusto. Enter the pharmacy through the ground-floor entrance, then search every wardrobe drawer in the area, as well as any small white cabinet drawers you discover.
The next location is another pharmacy situated near Plaza Rosa, right next to Red Tower. Upon entering, prioritize searching any brown wardrobe drawers you find, and be sure to check the small white cabinet drawers as well.
Furthermore, on the western side of Buried City, there is an apartment complex where the buildings are almost entirely interconnected. You can use ziplines or grappling hooks to ascend to the nearby rooftops and ledges; searching the wardrobe drawers found within these areas offers a chance of yielding the items you are looking for.
Buried City is the location with the highest drop rate for Anvil Splitter blueprint. I recommend making this your primary farming location - ideally while playing in Night Raid mode, or whenever you encounter map modifiers that boost loot value - as this will significantly increase your chances of obtaining rare items.
Spaceport
At Spaceport, my preferred looting zone is the breakable-door room located on the top floor of Container Warehouse building. You should also check the corresponding breakable-door room on the top floor of the adjacent Vehicle Maintenance building; be sure to loot every single container within these areas.
Once you have finished looting these two buildings, head over to inspect the very top of Launch Tower structure. At the pinnacle of the southernmost tower, you will find a crate that can be forced open, flanked by several red storage lockers.
Finally, proceed to search the top floors of Trench Tower structures located on both the north and south sides of the map. Bring a Grapple Hook to easily ascend to the rooftops of these two buildings; from there, simply take the interior stairwells down to loot the floors below, opening every crate and red locker you encounter.
These locations consistently spawn most of the high-quality items you'll need. If you are specifically looking to farm for a Kinetic Converter, Anvil Splitter, or Snap Hook, simply work your way through the list of locations detailed above.
Legendary Weapons
Dolabra
In hip-fire mode, Dolabra functions essentially as a shotgun; however, when aiming down sights (ADS), it transforms into a medium-to-long-range rail gun.
The blueprint for Dolabra is exceptionally rare and can only be obtained during Close Scrutiny event. During this event, Assessors will descend from the sky. You must approach one of these Assessors and forcibly breach one of the three cylindrical containers attached to its body; if luck is on your side, you will be rewarded with ARC Raiders Dolabra Blueprint.
However, things rarely go smoothly. Once you are roughly halfway through the container-breaching process, a massive wave of ARC units will be summoned directly to your location. Therefore, the best strategy for successfully extracting loot from an Assessor is to bring two specific items: a Photoelectric Cloak and a generous supply of Smoke Grenades.
Cautiously approach Assessor and wait for a platform ledge to extend from its side that you can stand on; once you have positioned yourself on the ledge, you can safely begin the looting process. Once you have finished looting, immediately pull out your Photoelectric Cloak, activate it, and retreat to a safe zone.
However, be aware that since Riven Tides update, Photoelectric Cloak has been significantly nerfed; its active duration has been reduced to a mere 9.5 seconds. Therefore, it is advisable to carry a few extra Smoke Grenades to ensure you can successfully retreat to cover after looting Assessor.
Jupiter
Jupiter recently received a buff, and it serves as an excellent weapon for attacking the new ARC Turbine. Blueprints for both of these Legendary-tier weapons can be obtained during Harvester Map Condition.
Upon loading into the map, locate Harvester icon on your HUD and head toward it, while doing your best to avoid being killed by Queen. Enter Harvester and search for three Power Cells; these batteries may be hidden in any of the destructible sections within Harvester's interior.
Once you have collected all three Power Cells, take them to the central chamber of Harvester. Force open the slots located at the base of the central pillar and insert Power Cells into them. A cluster of yellow buttons will then spawn on the surrounding walls of the room; you must shoot each button until it is completely destroyed to complete this puzzle sequence.
After completing the steps above, three loot containers will rise from the central pillar of Harvester. Open these containers for a chance to obtain Jupiter blueprint.
In addition to the method described above, feeding Scrappy the correct food items also offers a chance to receive these high-quality items as a reward, though this approach is much more RNG-dependent. If you wish to acquire these items and blueprints consistently and efficiently, targeted farming remains the more reliable strategy.
