Obtaining Blueprints in ARC Raiders is tough, since they’re random rare drops found throughout every map. The Tempest Blueprint is one of the rarest Blueprints you can find, since it gives you the option to craft a top-tier Epic-rarity assault rifle via the Workshop at Speranza Base. Here’s how you can get your hands on the Tempest Blueprint in ARC Raiders.
Tempest Blueprint Location in ARC Raiders
The most common location where you have a chance to obtain the Tempest Blueprint is at the Grandioso Apartments at the West Village during Night Raids on the Buried City map in ARC Raiders. The loot value and the ARC spawns are increased during Night Raids, so you need to be careful. Launch a Raid when you find an ongoing Night Raid on Buried City.
In the Buried City map, head to the West Village area, located at the western part, to find Grandioso Apartments. This is a large building with multiple blocks and floors, along with ziplines offering easy movement through them. Make sure you search every inch of this building, from Raider Caches and Weapon Boxes to Lockers and Cabinets, etc. Since the Blueprint spawns are randomized, you might need a few tries before you find it.
If you don’t find the Tempest Blueprint at this location, check out the other Residential Areas on the Buried City map during a Night Raid. Residential Areas are prone to high-tier loot, including Weapon Blueprints, so leave no corner unchecked when you’re on a Raid at night. Once you obtain the Tempest Blueprint, you need the following materials to craft the weapon:
- Gunsmith 3
- 1x Magnetic Accelerator
- 3x Medium Gun Parts
- 2x Exodus Modules
You can find these required materials from around the maps in ARC Raiders. After you’ve acquired them, head to the Workshop at Speranza Base, and craft the Tempest (Epic) weapon. Keep looting as much as you can during Night Raids in Residential Areas to increase your chances of obtaining a Tempest Blueprint or any other Epic-rarity Weapon Blueprint. To see if it was worth the trouble, take a look at the weapon stats below.
