All Golden Seed locations in Elden Ring
Learn where to find Golden Seeds in Elden Ring
Looking for all the Golden Seeds in Elden Ring? Every bit as essential as your weapons and armour in Elden Ring is your ever-present pair of Flasks: the Flask Of Crimson Tears, for healing; and the Flask Of Cerulean Tears, for restoring FP. To begin with, you only have 4 Flask Charges (4 times you can heal or restore FP between Sites Of Grace), but by obtaining Golden Seeds you can increase your number of Flask Charges all the way to the maximum of 14.
Golden Seeds are found throughout the Lands Between, in main and optional areas. Some are also given as quest rewards, so you won’t be able to just grab them all as you travel along the main path. Below, you can track down the location of all 45 Golden Seeds in Elden Ring - far more than enough to reach the highest possible number of Flask charges!
Golden Seed locations map
To help you track down all the Golden Seeds you need to maximise your Flask Charges, you can consult this interactive map of Golden Seed locations, courtesy of our friends at MapGenie :
In addition to the Golden Seeds laid out on this map, there’s one additional Golden Seed you can obtain by selecting it as your keepsake during character creation at the beginning of your playthrough. This brings the total number of Golden Seeds available per playthrough to 45 .
You only need 30 Golden Seeds to bring your Flask Charges up to 14, which is the maximum possible number of charges. So you don’t need to collect every Golden Seed in the game. Not unless you want to, anyway!

Below we’ll go into depth on where to find various of these Golden Seed locations to help you pinpoint their exact position.
Golden Seed: Keepsake Item
As a preface to any actual exploration in the Lands Between, you can obtain your first Golden Seed while making your character. When selecting your Keepsake Item , you can take a Golden Seed and instantly gain another charge for your flask, which might make the early stages of the game much easier. An extra health potion goes a long way in Elden Ring.
Golden Seed: Stormgate
The first Golden Seed you’ll find while exploring is just past Stormgate . Stormgate is the soldier encampment within the passage that leads from the Gatefront Ruins towards Stormhill. It is instantly recognisable, as you’ll get attacked by crossbow soldiers and see a giant troll leap down when you start walking towards them.
To find the Golden Seed, you’ll need to survive the Stormgate encounter and make it through to the other side. When you reach the top of the path, you’ll see a golden ethereal sapling, which you can interact with to loot your first Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Castle Stormveil
The next Golden Seed is hidden deep within Castle Stormveil. Before reaching it, you’ll need to infiltrate the castle using the side entrance, as the main gate is locked. When you get inside, use the Rampart Tower Site of Grace and make your way through the castle until you reach the central courtyard, where there is a large soldier encampment.
As soon as you step towards this encampment, the soldiers will fire and unleash a barrage of attacks in your direction. Get past the troops, rest at the Liftside Chamber, and then leave the door to head back outside. Continue straight ahead, ignoring the troops that are now on your right and facing away from you.
As you move up the stairs, defeat the hawk and other humanoid enemy, and then continue to follow the path around as it bends to the left. Look along the side of this path to find another golden ethereal sapling, which you can loot for a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Stormhill Shack quest
To get the fourth Golden Seed, you need to find a Chrysalids’ Memento and give it to the girl at Stormhill Shack. The Chrysalids’ Memento is found near the Spider, which is a Grafted Scion in Castle Stormveil.
From Rampart Tower, head out of the door into Castle Stormveil and deal with the hawks. Continue along the path until you reach the rooftop where you spot two patrolling soldiers just below. Kill the soldiers and drop down to the path they were on, following it to the right. This will take you to a balcony that overlooks a great hall, where the Grafted Scion patrols. In the Southern corner of this chamber, there is a door that leads outside to a pile of corpses and some wolves. The Chrysalids’ Memento is on the pile of bodies.
Take this back to the girl at Stormhill Shack to prompt her to travel to the Roundtable Hold . Meet her there to get your reward, which is another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Academy Gate Town
After defeating Godrick the Grafted at Castle Stormveil and proceeding with the main storyline, you’ll come to Raya Lucaria Academy. This is in the North-East section of the Liurnia Lake area, which is found north of Limgrave.
When you reach the South Raya Lucaria Gate, you’ll find that it’s locked, requiring a Glintstone Key to continue. From here, activate the Site of Grace nearby and then turn South and head down the stairs into an enemy encampment. You’ll need to get into the centre of this encampment and then turn East and head down some stairs to get out, but don’t worry if you die as you should get the option to respawn at a Statue of Marika, which is located to the East, past the encampment.
Regardless of whether you manage to survive or you end up dying to these baddies, you need to get to the Statue of Marika. From there, head southeast through the ruins and you’ll see a golden ethereal sapling up ahead. As always, loot it to find a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Raya Lucaria Main Academy Gate
When you use the Glintstone Key and get into Raya Lucaria Academy, you’ll find yourself at the Main Academy Gate Site of Grace. From here, turn northeast to find a long bridge with a sigil at the entrance.
You can interact with this sigil to fast travel to another area outside of the Academy, but ride past it for now. Go along the bridge all the way to the end, where you’ll find a golden ethereal sapling that you can loot to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Raya Lucaria Academy, after Red Wolf of Radagon
After defeating the Red Wolf of Radagon boss in the Raya Lucaria Academy Debate Parlor, head out of the exit that leads back outside into the next area. This takes you through an iron gate into a large courtyard. Head North through this courtyard while keeping to the left side.
When you see a large set of arches to the West, turn towards them and head through the central arch, remaining crouched to avoid the Iron Maiden that patrols this area. You should immediately see a golden ethereal sapling up ahead. Interact with it to gain another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Weeping Peninsula
To find another Golden Seed in Limgrave, fast travel to the starting area near the Church of Elleh and head South-East along the embankment of Agheel Lake (the large body of water to the East of the starting area). Continue until you come to the Agheel Lake South Site of Grace, where you can rest before continuing South to the Bridge of Sacrifice.
Head South through the Bridge of Sacrifice area until you reach the Castle Morne Rampart Site of Grace, near a merchant. Rest here and then look South to see a broken wall that leads towards Castle Morne.
When you pass through this wall, a large ballista will start firing at you, so head to the right and take shelter on top of the large collapsed building. As you look down towards Castle Morne again, you’ll see a golden ethereal sapling on a slightly raised bit of land overlooking the field before the castle.
Golden Seed: Caelid, South of Map Fragment
Caelid is a land scourged by rot, a barren desert of disease and death. However, you’ll find plenty of goodies within that make it worth exploring. One of those goodies is a Golden Seed that you’ll find just South of the Caelid Map Fragment. The map stele will appear on your map as you push further into Caelid, but you can find it easily by the Guidance of Grace towards Caelid Highway South and then continuing East.
As you push East, a dragon boss fight will start but you can simply ride past to escape this battle. Continue East until you reach the map stele at a junction in the road, and then turn South and follow the path down. You will find the Golden Seed along this road.
Golden Seed: Ravine near Grand Lift Dectus
After defeating Rennala in the Raya Lucaria Academy, you’ll need to travel to the Grand Lift Dectus, which you are told is the best way to get to the capital. Of course, this is Elden Ring and nothing could be so simple. The Grand Lift doesn’t work and requires certain parts before it will function. To bypass the lift, you need to head into the nearby Ravine, which you can access by following it along to the northwest until you reach a suitable point to drop down from the cliffside.
After dropping into the Ravine, follow it northeast until you come to a golden ethereal sapling. This isn’t particularly hidden, so you’ll spot it naturally as you travel through this area. Loot the sapling as normal to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Caria Manor
Caria Manor is a dungeon located in the northwest corner of Liurnia, on the Western side of the Ravine near Grand Lift Dectus. When you get into the manor, follow the path around until you come to the third Site of Grace within, called the Manor Upper Level. Then, head out of the doorway that leads outside to the northwest and you’ll see a golden ethereal sapling that you can loot to get a Golden Seed.
Before you grab this Golden Seed, we recommend killing both of the large wolf enemies that roam this area. Try and fight them one at a time, using the large open space to entice one to attack alone so that you can make the fight a bit easier.
Golden Seed: Erdtree-Gazing Hill
If you take the Ravine path to circumvent the broken Grand Lift Dectus, this Golden Seed should be rather easy to find. After killing the Magma Wyrm and emerging into the Altus Plateau , you will find the Abandoned Coffin Site of Grace. Activate this and rest, and then follow the Sign of Grace that points northeast until you find the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace.
When you activate the Site of Grace, stare directly East and you will spot the golden ethereal sapling nearby, which you can loot to gain another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Altus Plateau Map Fragment
From the Erdtree-Gazing Hill Site of Grace, follow the main objective that points East on your map until you find the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, where the main path coming from the Grand Lift Dectus forks off. Follow the path North from this Site of Grace until you find a golden ethereal sapling alongside the road, just South from the Stele where you can find the Altus Plateau Map Fragment. Loot it to gain another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Altus Plateau Minor Erdtree
From the Altus Highway Junction Site of Grace, take the same road North past where you foud the Map Fragment and Golden Seed and continue along this road until you find a broken bridge with a merchant. There’s another Site of Grace here, so rest up and then use the teleporter to get to the other side. When you spawn, take teh path that bends around to the southeast and follow it towards the minor erdtree on your map.
The minor erdtree is surrounded by a gorgeous autumnal forest, within which hides a golden ethereal sapling. Search in the forest on the West side of the minor erdtree to find it hidden amongst the trees, in the location marked on the map above. As always, you can loot this golden ethereal sapling to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Outer Wall Phantom Tree, Capital
From the Altus Highway Junction, ride East following the Sign of Grace that leads up the massive set of stairs towards the capital. This stairway is covered with enemy soldiers, so we recommend using Torrent to quickly ride to the top, unless you want a fight. Either way, when you reach the top you will enter a boss fight against two Tree Sentinels - the horseriding knight that you would’ve seen when you first entered Limgrave at the start of the game. This is a tough boss fight, but you can skip it by continuing to ride ahead using Torrent.
Whether you run or fight, the Tree Sentinels guard a large set of doors that lead into the capital. When you pass through these doors, you’ll see a golden ethereal sapling by a Site of Grace. Rest at the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace and then loot the sapling to get two Golden Seeds.
Golden Seed: Top of steps, Capital
From the Outer Wall Phantom Tree Site of Grace, look northeast to find another large set of stairs. Once again, call Torrent and ride it to the top of these stairs, where you will find another golden ethereal sapling. A tough enemy will attack about halfway up, but you can keep riding past to get to the golden ethereal sapling if you don’t want to fight.
When you reach the top of the stairs, simply head over to the sapling and loot it to get another two Golden Seeds. There’s no Site of Grace here, but you’ll find another further North if you need a rest.
Golden Seed: Fringefolk Hero’s Grave
Way back at the very first Site of Grace, the Stranded Graveyard, there is a wall of fog that is guarded by an imp seal. If you use a Stonesword Key on the seal, you can disperse the wall of fog and enter the Fringefolk Hero’s Grave dungeon. As you traverse this dungeon, you will find a boss called the Ulcerated Tree Spirit .
This is a very difficult boss that uses a variety of attacks, including close-range claw swipes, a long-range tail swipe, draconic flame breath, a fiery area of effect attack that consumes most of the boss chamber in flames, and a lunging attack in which it grabs you in its mouth and carries you around the room while inflicting damage. If you can defeat this boss, you will get a Golden Seed as a reward.
Golden Seed: Fort Haight
Fort Haight is found in East Limgrave, in the Southern section of the Mistwood. To get here, we recommend first finding the Limgrave East map fragment, and then travel South to the location marked on the map above.
As you approach Fort Haight, follow the path to the entrance, where you will find some soldiers and a Pumpkin Head fighting with some Demi-Humans. Kill all of the enemies and then look around to find a golden ethereal sapling. As usual, loot it to gain another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Nokron, the Eternal City
After defeating Starscourge Redahn in Caelid, you will unlock a new area to explore South of the Mistwood, known as Nokron , the Eternal City. Within, you can find a Golden Seed.
After entering Nokron, make your way along the main path until you fight the Mimic Tear boss. When you’ve defeated the Mimic Tear, follow the bridge leading away from the arena and stay on the left side until you spot a grassy path below. Some beasts will wander to the northwest on this path, but you should immediately hop down and head in the opposite direction, going under the bridge to find a ghost NPC.
When facing in the same direction as this ghost, turn left and follow the path that leads under the bridge you were just on, hopping down to the ledges below at the end. Follow the underside of the bridge to the northeast past all of the pillars and jump down into the ruins. Keep dropping down until you reach a large grassy field below and then head to the northeast edge, where you will spot a golden etheral sapling up ahead. Loot this sapling to get another Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Mt Gelmir River
In the northwest corner of the Altus Plateau, there is an area called Mt Gelmir. This volcanic site is now little more than destroyed encampments and burned land, but there is plenty to find amidst the ruins. From the Altus Highway Junction, head North up the hill towards the Second Church of Marika. From there, continue North until you reach a path that leads West into Mt Gelmir. Activate the Bridge of Iniquity Site of Grace and then follow the Sign of Grace on your map to the First Mt Gelmir Campsite Site of Grace.
From there, continue West until you come to a bridge with a message on your side. The message tells you to follow the Rainbow Stones, which you will see scattered around to the left of the bridge. Follow the Rainbow Stones until a cutscene activates, in which you are kicked off the cliff into the river below. When you regain control, head South through the river to find a golden ethereal sapling up ahead. Loot it as usual to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Volcano Manor, Mt Gelmir
To reach Volcano Manor, you’ll need to either beat the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast boss, accessed by using the spiritspring near the Ninth Mt Gelmir Campsite Site of Grace, or follow the river mentioned above until you reach the Road of Iniquity. Either way, when you reach the entrance to Volcano Manor, don’t enter right away. Instead, face northwest and follow the path up until you find a golden ethereal sapling, which you can loot to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Leyndell, West Capital Rampart
To enter Leyndell, the Capital City, you’ll want to fight the Draconic Tree Sentinel found southeast of the Outer Wall Battleground Site of Grace. Once inside, follow the path to the East Capital Rampart and then make your way outside. Follow the path South and run past the enemies that look like snowmen until you spot more on the level below. Hop down and then jump down again onto the rooftops. Continue hopping along the rooftops and head down West until you reach a carriage that you can use to drop onto the main street.
When you reach the main street, run southwest. An Erdtree Avatar will spawn, but just keep running and look on the right side until you spot an open gate. Run through and go down the first flight of steps, and then turn right to activate the Avenue Balcony Site of Grace. From there, continue down the next steps and through the door. When you get outside, immediately turn right and run along this side path, rolling when necessary to avoid the guard. At the end, turn left and jump onto the stone dragon structure. Climb this and head southwest up a stone ramp. At the top of the ramp, turn left and hop down onto the ledge below. Climb the ladder and then follow this path along past the guards until you reach the West Capital Rampart Site of Grace. Head South to find some snowmen praying at a golden ethereal sapling, which you can loot to get a Golden Seed.
Golden Seed: Forbidden Lands
After defeating Morgott, the Omen King at the foot of the Great Erdtree, Melina will send you to the Mountaintops of the Giants. To get there, you will have to pass through the Forbidden Lands. As you follow the main path through the Forbidden Lands, you will find a golden ethereal sapling that you can loot to get a Golden Seed.
Note: we’ll add more Golden Seed locations as time goes on, but the table at the top already contains the full list of all Golden Seeds in the game!
That covers all of the Golden Seeds that we’ve found so far in Elden Ring.

All 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints and where to get them
These areas have the highest chance of giving you Blueprints
Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios
Looking for more Arc Raiders Blueprints? It’s a special day when you find a Blueprint, as they’re among the most valuable items in Arc Raiders. If you find a Blueprint that you haven’t already found, then you must make sure you hold onto it at all costs, because Blueprints are the key to one of the most important and powerful systems of meta-progression in the game.
This guide aims to be the very best guide on Blueprints you can find, starting with a primer on what exactly they are and how they work in Arc Raiders, before delving into exactly where to get Blueprints and the very best farming spots for you to take in your search.
We’ll also go over how to get Blueprints from other unlikely activities, such as destroying Surveyors and completing specific quests. And you’ll also find the full list of all 75 Blueprints in Arc Raiders on this page (including the newest Blueprints added with the Cold Snap update , such as the Deadline Blueprint and Firework Box Blueprint), giving you all the information you need to expand your own crafting repertoire.
In this guide:
- What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?
- Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes
- Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders Blueprints obtained from quests Blueprints obtained from Trials Best Blueprint farming locations
What are Blueprints in Arc Raiders?
Blueprints in Arc Raiders are special items which, if you manage to extract with them, you can expend to permanently unlock a new crafting recipe in your Workshop. If you manage to extract from a raid with an Anvil Blueprint, for example, you can unlock the ability to craft your very own Anvil Pistol, as many times as you like (as long as you have the crafting materials).
To use a Blueprint, simply open your Inventory while in the lobby, then right-click on the Blueprint and click “Learn And Consume” . This will permanently unlock the recipe for that item in your Workshop. As of the Stella Montis update, there are allegedly 75 different Blueprints to unlock - although only 68 are confirmed to be in the game so far. You can see all the Blueprints you’ve found and unlocked by going to the Workshop menu, and hitting “R” to bring up the Blueprint screen.
It’s possible to find duplicates of past Blueprints you’ve already unlocked. If you find these, then you can either sell them, or - if you like to play with friends - you can take it into a match and gift it to your friend so they can unlock that recipe for themselves. Another option is to keep hold of them until the time comes to donate them to the Expedition.

Note: The missing Blueprints in this list likely have not actually been added to the game at the time of writing, because none of the playerbase has managed to find any of them. As they are added to the game, I will update this page with the most relevant information so you know exactly how to get all 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints.
Where to find Blueprints in Arc Raiders
Below is a list of all containers, modifiers, and events which maximise your chances of finding Blueprints:
- Certain quests reward you with specific Blueprints .
- Completing Trials has a high chance of offering Blueprints as rewards.
- Surveyors have a decent chance of dropping Blueprints on death.
- High loot value areas tend to have a greater chance of spawning Blueprints.
- Night Raids and Storms may increase rare Blueprint spawn chances in containers.
- Containers with higher numbers of items may have a higher tendency to spawn Blueprints. As a result, Blue Gate (which has many “large” containers containing multiple items) may give you a higher chance of spawning Blueprints.
- Raider containers (Raider Caches, Weapon Boxes, Medical Bags, Grenade Tubes) have increased Blueprint drop rates. As a result, the Uncovered Caches event gives you a high chance of finding Blueprints.
- Security Lockers have a higher than average chance of containing Blueprints.
- Certain Blueprints only seem to spawn under specific circumstances: Tempest Blueprint only spawns during Night Raid events. Vulcano Blueprint only spawns during Hidden Bunker events. Jupiter and Equaliser Blueprints only spawn during Harvester events.

Blueprints have a very low chance of spawning in any container in Arc Raiders, around 1-2% on average. However, there is a higher chance of finding Blueprints in particular container types. Specifically, you can find more Blueprints in Raider containers and security lockers.
Beyond this, if you’re looking for Blueprints you should focus on regions of the map which are marked as having particularly high-value loot. Areas such as the Control Tower in Dam Battlegrounds, the Arrival and Departure Buildings in Spaceport, and Pilgrim’s Peak in Blue Gate all have a better-than-average chance of spawning Blueprints somewhere amongst all their containers. Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storm events also increase the drop chances of certain Blueprints .
In addition to these containers, you can often loot Blueprints from destroyed Surveyors - the largest of the rolling ball ARC. Surveyors are more commonly found on the later maps - Spaceport and Blue Gate - and if one spawns in your match, you’ll likely see it by the blue laser beam that it casts into the sky while “surveying”.
Surveyors are quite well-armoured and will very speedily run away from you once it notices you, but if you can take one down then make sure you loot all its parts for a chance of obtaining certain unusual Blueprints.
Blueprints obtained from quests
One way in which you can get Blueprints is by completing certain quests for the vendors in Speranza. Some quests will reward you with a specific item Blueprint upon completion, so as long as you work through all the quests in Arc Raiders, you are guaranteed those Blueprints.
Here is the full list of all Blueprints you can get from quest rewards:
- Trigger Nade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Sparks Fly”.
- Lure Grenade Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Greasing Her Palms”.
- Burletta Blueprint: Rewarded after completing “Industrial Espionage”.
- Hullcracker Blueprint (and Launcher Ammo Blueprint): Rewarded after completing “The Major’s Footlocker”.
Alas, that’s only 4 Blueprints out of a total of 75 to unlock, so for the vast majority you will need to find them yourself during a raid. If you’re intent on farming Blueprints, then it’s best to equip yourself with cheap gear in case you lose it, but don’t use a free loadout because then you won’t get a safe pocket to stash any new Blueprint you find. No pain in Arc Raiders is sharper than failing to extract with a new Blueprint you’ve been after for a dozen hours already.

Blueprints obtained from Trials
One of the very best ways to get Blueprints is as rewards for completing Trials in Arc Raiders. Trials are unlocked from Level 15 onwards, and allow you to earn rewards by focusing on certain tasks over the course of several raids. For example, one Trial might task you with dealing damage to Hornets, while another might challenge you to loot Supply Drops.
Trials refresh on a weekly basis, with a new week bringing five new Trials. Each Trial can offer up to three rewards after passing certain score milestones, and it’s possible to receive very high level loot from these reward crates - including Blueprints. So if you want to unlock as many Blueprints as possible, you should make a point of completing as many Trials as possible each week.
Best Blueprint farming locations
The very best way to get Blueprints is to frequent specific areas of the maps which combine high-tier loot pools with the right types of containers to search. Here are my recommendations for where to find Blueprints on every map, so you can always keep the search going for new crafting recipes to unlock.

Dam Battlegrounds
The best places to farm Blueprints on Dam Battlegrounds are the Control Tower, Power Generation Complex, Ruby Residence, and Pale Apartments . The first two regions, despite only being marked on the map as mid-tier loot, contain a phenomenal number of containers to loot. The Control Tower can also contain a couple of high-tier Security Lockers - though of course, you’ll need to have unlocked the Security Breach skill at the end of the Survival tree.
There’s also a lot of reporting amongst the playerbase that the Residential areas in the top-left of the map - Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence - give you a comparatively strong chance of finding Blueprints. Considering their size, there’s a high density of containers to loot in both locations, and they also have the benefit of being fairly out of the way. So you’re more likely to have all the containers to yourself.
Buried City
The best Blueprint farming locations on Buried City are the Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Town Hall, and the various buildings of the New District . Grandioso Apartments has a lower number of containers than the rest, but a high chance of spawning weapon cases - which have good Blueprint drop rates. The others are high-tier loot areas, with plenty of lootable containers - including Security Lockers.
Spaceport
The best places to find Blueprints on Spaceport are the Arrival and Departure Buildings, as well as Control Tower A6 and the Launch Towers . All these areas are labelled as high-value loot regions, and many of them are also very handily connected to one another by the Spaceport wall, which you can use to quickly run from one area to the next. At the tops of most of these buildings you’ll find at least one Security Locker, so this is an excellent farming route for players looking to find Blueprints.
The downside to looting Blueprints on Spaceport is that all these areas are hotly contested, particularly in Duos and Squads. You’ll need to be very focused and fast in order to complete the full farming route.

Blue Gate
Blue Gate tends to have a good chance of dropping Blueprints, potentially because it generally has a high number of containers which can hold lots of items; so there’s a higher chance of a Blueprint spawning in each container. In my experience, the best Blueprint farming spots on Blue Gate are Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, the Ancient Fort, and the Underground Complex beneath the Warehouse .
All of these areas contain a wealth of containers to loot. Raider’s Refuge has less to loot, but the majority of the containers in and around the Refuge are raider containers, which have a high chance of containing Blueprints - particularly during major events.
Stella Montis
On the whole, Stella Montis seems to have a very low drop rate for Blueprints (though a high chance of dropping other high-tier loot). If you do want to try farming Blueprints on this map, the best places to find Blueprints in Stella Montis are Medical Research, Assembly Workshop, and the Business Center . These areas have the highest density of containers to loot on the map.
In addition to this, the Western Tunnel has a few different Security Lockers to loot, so while there’s very little to loot elsewhere in this area of the map, it’s worth hitting those Security Lockers if you spawn there at the start of a match.
That wraps up this primer on how to get all the Blueprints in Arc Raiders as quickly as possible. With the Expedition system constantly resetting a large number of players’ Blueprints, it’s more important than ever to have the most up-to-date information on where to find all these Blueprints.
