The Flashpoint update added three new blueprints to Arc Raiders. Here’s exactly where to find each one.
Dolabra – Legendary Energy Shotgun
Where to find it: The Dolabra blueprint drops from containers on Arc Assessor dropships that appear exclusively during the Close Scrutiny map condition. An Assessor is a large platform that falls from the sky and emits a bright red beam when it activates on the ground. Each Assessor has three containers you can breach, giving you three chances per raid. Be warned – these platforms are heavily guarded, and Close Scrutiny brings Vaporizers with it.
Crafting requirements (Gunsmith level 3):
- 3x Shredder Gyro
- 3x Magnetic Accelerator
- 2x Vaporizer Regulator
Why bother: When hipfiring, the Dolabra fires in a wide cone, but aim down sights and it becomes a precise laser blast – perfect for taking down tough ARC, especially Vaporizers.
Canto – Rare Medium Ammo SMG
Where to find it: The Canto blueprint drops from First Wave Raider Caches during the Hurricane map condition. These are small tins buried in the ground that emit a beep when you’re close, and they tend to spawn on the outskirts of the map
Because of how many different blueprints can drop from these caches, the Canto is generally harder to get than the legendary Dolabra. Strong winds during Hurricane also make hearing the beep tricky, so use an interactive map to track cache locations.
First Wave Raider Caches locations:
Crafting requirements (Gunsmith level 3):
- 2x Advanced Mechanical Components
- 5x Magnets
- 3x Medium Gun Parts
Why bother: The Canto is essentially a more affordable Bobcat with a fast TTK (368 DPS), though it comes with a small magazine and strong recoil. You can improve the ammo capacity through upgrades and magazine attachments.
Surge Coil – Rare Deployable
Where to find it: The Surge Coil blueprint drops from any container during the Electromagnetic Storm map condition – lockers, drawers, cupboards, industrial crates, you name it. The only requirement is that EM Storm is active. It’s the easiest of the three new blueprints to farm.
On Dam Battlegrounds, confirmed drops have been reported at the Testing Annex, Water Treatment Facility, and Hydroponic Domes. Other maps work too – just hit as many containers as possible.
Crafting requirements (Explosives Station level 3):
- 1x Electrical Components
- 1x Hornet Driver
- 1x Sensors
Why bother: The Surge Coil is a deployable that periodically sends out an electric pulse, briefly stunning ARC enemies and other Raiders in its radius. It stacks up to 3 in your inventory. With Shredders now on every map after Flashpoint, having one ready can save your life in tight spaces.
Universal tip for all three blueprints: the moment you find one, put it straight into your Safe Pocket so you don’t lose it on the way to extraction.
