ARC Raiders: The Ultimate Blueprint Farming Guide - Buried City Route
After 500+ hours of gameplay and nearly 300 hours specifically testing blueprint routes, I've developed what I firmly believe is the most efficient and safest path for farming blueprints on Buried City, and if you're looking to supplement your farming efforts, you can always buy ARC Raiders Items to complete your collection faster. Following this exact route after the latest expedition update, I've already collected over half of the available blueprints in the game. This guide breaks down my complete route, the key buildings you need to prioritize, and the exact order to hit them for maximum efficiency and safety.
Spawn Dependent Adjustments
This guide assumes a south-side spawn, which is arguably the best starting position for blueprint farming. If you spawn elsewhere, you'll need to adjust, but the core principle remains: prioritize high-value buildings in a logical rotation that minimizes travel time and maximizes uncontested loot opportunities.
The Complete Route Breakdown
1. Plaza Rosa Pharmacy (Primary Target)
Location: South side of Buried City
Priority: IMMEDIATE if you spawn nearby
This is unequivocally the best building on Buried City for blueprints. The concentration of containers here is unmatched, and as demonstrated in the run, it can single-handedly make your raid successful.

Hatch Key Extract
Time Management
Total Run Duration: Approximately 20-25 minutes
Extract Window: Always leave 2-3 minutes for extract
In our run, we had 6 minutes remaining at Morirano Station and still comfortably extracted. Don't cut it too close—ark spawns and unexpected engagements can delay you.
Final Thoughts
After nearly 300 hours of blueprint farming and 500+ total hours in ARC Raiders, this route represents the most efficient path I've found for Buried City day raids. The proof is in the results: 4 blueprints, 5 pink items, and over 160k value in a single run. Of course, if you want to skip the grind altogether, you can visit MMOEXP to buy cheap ARC Raiders BluePrints and get straight to the action.
Remember: the game evolves, players learn, and routes must adapt. What worked at launch may not work now. This route accounts for current player behavior patterns and blueprint spawn mechanics after the latest updates.
If you found this guide helpful, apply it on your next Buried City run. Prioritize the pharmacies, hit the red tower, and always—ALWAYS—bring a zipline. Happy farming, Raiders. And don't forget to check out MMOEXP for all your ARC Raiders needs
