Need more Infinity Nikki Resonite Crystals? If you’d like to obtain more Outfits for Nikki, spending Resonite Crystals on the game’s gacha banners is a great way to get them. With a nice stack of Resonite Crystals in your pocket, you’ll certainly get a glamorous fit to flaunt in Miraland.

The only issue is that Resonite Crystals are difficult to find. You can buy them with real money, but there are also ways to obtain them for free - if you know where to look. This guide will show you how to get Resonite Crystals in Infinity Nikki and how to spend them wisely.

Note that Resonite Crystals are not to be confused with Revelation Crystals . While both are gacha currencies, the blue Resonite Crystals are used on permanent banners, while the pink Revelation Crystals are spent on limited-time event banners. They’re also different from Energy Crystals, which can replenish Vital Energy ; and Stellarite , a premium currency.

How to use Resonite Crystals

To understand Resonite Crystals, you should know that Infinity Nikki is a ‘gacha’ game, which means it contains randomized rewards. Infinity Nikki’s gacha system is called ‘Resonance’, and Resonite Crystals are the gacha currency needed to participate in the game’s permanent banner, Distant Sea.

Simply put, you can spend a Resonite Crystal on a ‘Resonance’ banner and receive one random ‘Outfit’ (equipment item) from that banner’s reward pool. Each banner contains items of three-, four-, and five-star rarity that come with a certain drop chance. Lower-quality items have a higher drop chance than high-quality items, so if you spend a single Resonite Crystal on a Resonance banner, you will most likely receive a three-star item, not a four- or five-star one.

Spending more Resonite Crystals on Resonance banners will obviously improve your chances of obtaining five-star rewards, but Resonite Crystals are quite rare. They can be bought with real-life money, but there are a few ways to get them for free.

How to get free Resonite Crystals

Let’s stack up on Infinity Nikki Resonite Crystals, shall we? Before we explore the purchasing options, here’s how to get Resonite Crystals for free:

• Redeem gift codes. This is perhaps the easiest way to stack up on Resonite Crystals, as you simply need to find a valid code and exchange it in the in-game menu. In short, go to ‘settings’, click ‘other’, and then ‘redeem code’. We’ve got a guide with more detailed instructions as well as the latest Infinity Nikki codes - be sure to redeem them all!
• Increase your Mira level. This is your main account level, which you can improve by gaining EXP (through questing, doing challenges, etc.).
• Increase the Compendium level. You’ll receive one Resonite Crystal for every 500 Compendium points.
• Improve your Stylist Rank. To check if you have any unclaimed rewards, go to the Advanced Courses menu in the Pear-Pal.
• Complete Mira Journey tasks. Although Mira Journey is Infinity Nikki’s Battle Pass system, you can still get some Resonite Crystals for free.
• Offer ‘Dew of Inspiration’ to Kilo the Cadenceborn. Only certain milestones are rewarded with Resonite Crystals.
• Participate in limited-time events. Sometimes, Infinity Nikki’s temporary events are rewarded with Resonite Crystals. These events typically involve a variety of quests and challenges.

There are also a few in-game currencies that may be exchanged for Resonite Crystals: Diamonds, Tranquility Droplets, and Surging Ebbs. Keep in mind that these currencies can be used to obtain Revelation Crystals too, which hold a higher value as they’re spent on limited-time banners. If you’d nonetheless like to spend them on Resonite Crystals, these are the exchange rates:

• Buy 1 Resonite Crystal for 120 Diamonds .
• Buy 1 Resonite Crystal for 100 Tranquility Droplets .
• Buy 1 Resonite Crystal for 20 Surging Ebbs .

Both Tranquility Droplets and Surging Ebbs are gained by earning duplicate rewards in Resonance banners. So if you pull a clothing item that you already own, then the duplicate will be converted into Tranquility Droplets (for 3-Star items) or Surging Ebbs (for 4-star items).

How to buy Resonite Crystals

Even if you use every method listed above to obtain free Resonite Crystals, you still won’t be able to obtain every five-star Outfit in the game. Our advice is not to worry too much about that; a humble wardrobe won’t stop you from enjoying the game. That said, it’s possible to spend real-life money to obtain more Resonite Crystals.

You can’t directly buy Resonite Crystals with real-life money, but you can purchase Tidal Resonance Packs, which each contain a certain number of Revelation and Resonite Crystals, among other items.

You can also use real-life money to purchase Diamonds via the Monthly Gifts section of the Treasure Tab in the Store. And then you can convert your Diamonds into Resonite Crystals in the Diamond tab.

All 75 Arc Raiders Blueprints and where to get them

These areas have the highest chance of giving you Blueprints

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:

• Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes

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.

Full Blueprint list: All crafting recipes

Below is the full list of all the Blueprints that are currently available to find in Arc Raiders, and the crafting recipe required for each item:

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.
