Processors and Sensors – Where to Find Them Fast

Processors and sensors are primarily found in ARC Raiders BluePrints server cabinets, which are widely distributed across the map.

High-density locations include:

    Departure Building (upper floors)

    Battlegrounds Power Generation Complex

    Bluegate Data Vault

    Stella Montis Medical Research

Additionally, Android enemies in Stella Montis can drop sensors, making them a reliable secondary source.

Recovering Critical Blueprints After the Reset

Some blueprints are essential for early progression and must be reacquired quickly.

Anvil, Ventor, and Orment Blueprints

These most commonly drop from raider-related containers, including:

    Raider caches

    Weapon boxes

    Ammo cases

    Grenade cases

While uncovered caches are currently unavailable, Cold Snap raider caches share a similar loot pool. Breachable snow raider caches in Cold Snap can drop early weapon blueprints just as reliably.

Augment Blueprints – Best and Underrated Locations

Most players know the obvious farm:

    Security Wing, Bluegate (Underground)

Augments drop frequently here, but competition is extreme.

Underrated Alternative: Medical Areas

Based on collected data, augmented blueprints have dropped in only two locations:

1. Security Wing (majority of drops)

2. Hospital/medical areas

Medical containers appear to share the augment loot pool. If the Security Wing is overrun, medical zones are a strong secondary option.

Attachment Blueprints and Wolf Pack

Attachment Blueprints

Compensators, light mags, and similar attachments most commonly drop in residential areas, such as:

    Plaza Rosa Village (Bluegate)

Wolf Pack Blueprint

Wolf Pack is one of the most sought-after blueprints for Ark progression.

Based on user-submitted data:

    ~99% of Wolf Pack drops occur in Night Raids

If you are farming during standard raids, you are significantly reducing your odds. Stella Montis can now drop Deadline, which can serve as an alternative:

    3 Explosive Compounds

    2 Arc Circuitries

    Requires Explosive Station Level 3

For early Ark kills, light impact grenades remain the most reliable option, easily farmed via Seed Vault materials.

Fastest Ways to Level After the Reset

Everyone starts back at Level 1, so early XP efficiency matters.

Best XP Methods Without Gear

    Seed Vault loot runs

    Looting every container provides surprisingly fast XP with minimal risk.

    Hidden Bunker Bastion/Bombardier farming

    Use light impact grenades instead of Holecrackers.

    Stella Montis hybrid runs

    Farm containers for XP while hunting for the Deadline blueprint. Once obtained, Deadline-based runs provide excellent XP returns.

Looting containers is consistently one of the most underrated XP sources early on.

Recommended Early Skill Tree Path

Skill choices matter more than ever post-reset. While personal preference plays a role, this path balances survivability, speed, and economic advantage.

Early Priorities

    Rush Security Breach as early as possible

    Even with randomized spawns, having it before most players gives a major advantage in farming gun parts and rare loot.

    Max early looting efficiency nodes

    Faster looting equals faster XP and safer runs.

Mid-Tree Optimization

    Prioritize stamina recovery, carry weight, and looting speed

    Silent Scavenger is low priority (1 point only)

    Max Revitalizing Squat to hit skill thresholds faster

Utility and Survival

    Mind Sweeper is extremely valuable in explosive-heavy zones

    Proficient Pryer becomes important once breaching frequency increases

    Nimble Climber and Effortless Roll provide mobility without sacrificing control

Avoid skills that interfere with ARC Raiders Items cover discipline if they don't suit your playstyle (e.g., Slip and Slide).
