What is a “hangout game”?

“It’s basically a fancy Discord call”

Identifying a new genre is a fool’s task, but I’ve never been wise. Sometimes a blossoming genre can be obvious, as when a huge success like Doom or Dark Souls comes along and inspires games for decades to follow. But sometimes a new genre is quiet, low-key, hiding just beneath the surface of a tumultuous industry. Sometimes you have to go fishing for it.

Let’s catch the slippery “hangout game”.

In last year’s Webfishing you are given a fishing rod and some bait. You walk around on an Animal Crossing -style island catching trout and salmon as lo-fi music chimes in the background. Importantly, you do this on a server of 12 people, with a chat window that periodically lights up with idle talk. It is the fishing minigame of any big MMO isolated into its own self-contained pond. There are bigger fish to catch and rods to upgrade and money to earn. But most of your time is spent entirely still, save for the clicking and holding of the mouse when you feel a nibble. You aren’t given quests or jobs to fulfil. You just fish and hang out.

In Webfishing, servers are titled things like: “lil vape sesh” or “join if stoned”. One was called “we watch k-drama” - just five people fishing while they watch Korean soaps on another screen. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun / lamedeveloper

“The core of a hang-out game is a total lack of anything resembling a rush,” wrote Garrett Martin in an article for Paste last year, in which he gave a broad definition of this type of game. “It’s a term I use often to describe any game that’s fun to just exist in, where you don’t always feel pressure to keep moving on to the next goal.”

Plenty of readers will recognise the idea - a game you play with friends to relax. Some might consider Fortnite a hangout game because they play with regular buds and don’t take it seriously. Others might cite nightly jaunts popping skulls in Destiny 2 , or a cheeky bank robbery in GTA Online . Martin himself reckons even Elden Ring is a hangout game, once you’re hardened enough to easily survive its lethal environs.

But wait… is Sea Of Thieves a hangout game? Even though it’s a cannon-firing live service multiplayer game with plenty of tense battles?

But to me a hangout game is not as simple as any co-op game in which you hang out. It is specifically a type of game in which the goal is to do very little at all alongside other people, in which all adrenal gland tickling excitement is replaced with low-key activities unlikely to spike your heart rate. In other words, hangout games need to be overwhelmingly chill. How can you hang out peaceably when there are so many explosions happening? How can you concentrate on the chat when you have 10 more Cabal heads to shoot, or a final emoter to beat to the chicken dinner in an ever-shrinking arena? The true hangout game, as exemplified by Webfishing, arrives at a time of some dissatisfaction with attention-demanding live service games , many of which lambast the player with goals, currencies, action, and instructions. That stuff is, like, not chill at all.

“People like having a game different from the current ‘meta’ and AAA designs,” says Max, designer of the recently announced Sledding Game . “They go through their gaming life and play all these fancy titles about killing and winning and I think it’s a breath of fresh air to have a game where you can just talk with a friend and not worry about much else. It’s basically like a fancy Discord call.”

In Sledding Game, you’ll be able to play as penguins, frogs, and polar bears, says The Sledding Corporation. |Image credit:The Sledding Corporation

Sledding Game is in the early stages of development . You’ll be able to ride sleds downhill for points, buy new cosmetics with those points, and vibe in a cosy chalet at the top of the hill with some hot cocoa. There are a few other features planned, but not many. It takes a lot of inspiration from Webfishing’s lo-fi approach, and is explicitly marketed on Steam as a “cozy, online multiplayer game about sledding, relaxing, and hanging out with your friends”. So what does the designer of a hangout game need to do to make sure it feels sufficiently chill?

“I think you need to focus on the experience being ’easy’ for literally everyone,” says Max. “If you can play this game without thinking and just chat with some friends, that makes for the best experience. Sprinkle some funny moments in there with a bit of progression and it makes everything much better.”

A bit of progression, though. That’s all. A hangout game is about doing less, not more. When I join a server in Webfishing to ask the players why they like chilling out in this world, as opposed to playing a more hectic shooter like Helldivers 2, they make the distinction clear and even bristle at the idea of comparing this cartoon world with that of Arrowhead’s Managed Democracy.

“Hanging out in other games is different,” says “Ianonator”, who in Webfishing plays as a tuxedo cat with a sardine permanently lodged in its mouth. “This is more personal… In Helldivers you’re not going to talk about how your day was or anything like that.

“I’m just fishing, and I kinda don’t care what I fish. I’m just here listening to music and talking to random people.”

There’s nothing unique about “talking to random people” in terms of multiplayer co-op. But hangout games of this new ilk put the chat front and centre, invoking it as a main selling point. In some ways games like Webfishing and Sledding Game might be better called “chatroom games”. But in requiring that chat function the small-fry indie hangout game has to tackle with the same problems as its much larger netmate - the MMORPG.

“[In] any game where you have text chat or voice chat I think you also need some form of moderation,” says Max of the Sledding Corporation. “Whether it be vote to kick, muting, banning, private lobbies… There needs to be some way to allow people to hang out in the way they want to hang out.”

Is a Minecraft server a hangout game? Crafting and farming games seem to fulfill the criteria, except that they center around controlling and rebuilding the space, instead of just inhabiting it. |Image credit:Mojang

In Webfishing that means profanity filters and servers you can label as mature, not to mention the developer’s practice of smacking down even the slightest whiff of intolerance . But take enough of a hands-off approach and you might go the opposite direction, ending up with something like Comedy Night , the heinous chat room of big heads and “edgy” (racist) humour. Because, despite its coarse culture, Comedy Night is also a valid example of a hangout game.

And there are more on the horizon (though I’d be fibbing if I said the genre was exploding; it’s more sleepy than that). For example, the developers of Untitled Goose Game are working on a multiplayer hiking sim with silly bird avatars and a similarly straightforward name. It’s called Big Walk . “Hang out and get lost with close friends in a big world,” says the blurb on Steam, which labels it a “cooperative online walker-talker”.

Big Walk is due out some time this year, say developers House House. |Image credit:House House

“This is for sure a growing trend,” says Max. “People have been bringing up that [Sledding Game] is like Club Penguin 2 , and I think people are missing that in their lives right now.”

It would be easy to view these hangout games as a direct reaction to the endless demands of live service. But there is another possibility. The hangout game might simply be the natural extension of some conglomeration of Steam tags that already exist. There’s no need to invent it. You can hang out with friends with similar nonchalance in co-op farming sims like Stardew Valley . You can shoot the shit in creative survival games like Minecraft . Neither gives you an explicit goal to chase.

The trend of cheap and cheerful hangout games might also be nothing more than a temporary safe haven to those abandoning the crumbling realms of Roblox . Webfishing and Sledding Game as the landing zones for a diaspora of young players who will soon find their kicks in small, standalone games instead of the disgraced virtual sweatshop.

Ultimately, all attempts to corral games into set genres will end in an arbitrary mess of red strings and bloated venn diagrams. Is Golf With Your Friends a hangout game, or is it too competitive? What about VR Chat ? Are multiplayer games like Overcooked and Among Us too stressful to count? Where does Sea Of Thieves splashland in all this? All taxonomy is folly. The “hangout game” as a moniker is of limited use. But it can be fun, at least as a watcher of the industry, to identify the quiet trends that burble faintly beneath the surface of the wider gaming culture, like curious carp waiting to bite.

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.

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.

One of the best ways to get Blueprints is by hitting three stars on all five Trials every week. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Embark Studios

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.
