How to Find Looting MK.3 Survivor Blueprint in ARC Raiders

To find the Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint in ARC Raiders, you need to target Augment-style containers and Medical containers in high-value loot zones. The single most reliable location is the Breach Room underneath the Reinforced Reception on Blue Gate, specifically during a Night Raid. While this blueprint can technically appear on other maps, the Breach Room’s loot table is specifically tuned for MK3 Augment blueprints, making it the go-to farming spot for the entire community. Secondary options include the Hospital in Buried City, the Security Checkpoint on Stella Montis, and the Testing Annex on Dam Battlegrounds.

Why You Need the Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint in ARC Raiders

The Looting MK3 (Survivor) is widely considered the best Augment in ARC Raiders. It is an Epic-rarity, heavy-duty pack mule that gives you 20 Backpack Slots, 3 Safe Pocket Slots, 5 Quick-Use Slots, a Utility Slot, and supports both Medium and Light Shields. But what truly sets it apart is its unique perk: while downed and stationary, your health regenerates up to 75% of your max downed health. This means that even if you get knocked out, you can slowly recover while waiting for a teammate to revive you — or simply outlast the threat. Whether you’re running solo or in a squad, this Augment fundamentally changes your survivability and makes it an essential part of any serious Loadout.

The Best Method: Blue Gate Breach Room Farming

The Breach Room underneath the Reinforced Reception in the Security Wing of Blue Gate is the undisputed best location for farming the Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint. This room has a specific loot table that is tuned for all MK3 Augment Blueprints — Survivor, Defensive, Aggressive, Flanking, Healing, Revival and even the newer Safekeeper can all drop here. Unlike residential areas or industrial zones, this room is packed with the exact container types you need. To maximize your chances, follow these two simple rules:

• Night Raid Priority: Always queue into Blue Gate during a Night Raid. Night Raids significantly boost blueprint spawn rates across the board, and the Breach Room spawns noticeably more lootable containers during Night compared to Electromagnetic Storm or standard Day Raids. Check the MetaForge Event Timers to see when the next Night Raid rotation begins. Electromagnetic Storm is a decent backup, but Night is king for this blueprint.

• Speed Over Survival: This is the most contested loot room in ARC Raiders. Players sprint here with Adrenaline Shots the moment they spawn. If you arrive even a minute late, expect the room to be empty. The goal is to get in, loot the high-priority containers, secure the blueprint in your Safe Pocket, and get out — or surrender and go again if someone beat you to it.

Inside the Breach Room: What to Loot First

Once you get underground and reach the Reinforced Reception area, head to the upper floor of the Security Wing and look for the locked door that requires your Raider Tool to breach. The breaching process is loud and leaves you completely vulnerable, so listen for footsteps and watch your back. Once inside, place a Door Blocker on the interior side of the door to buy yourself some uninterrupted looting time — this room is notorious for ambushes.

Loot these containers in order of priority:

• Metal Wall Racks (Black Augment-Style Cages): The 5-6 lootable wall containers in this room have the highest reported drop rate for MK3 Augment blueprints. These are the grey metal wall-mounted racks – check every single one.
• Black, plastic, high-tech long crates: These are the low crates with large lids on the ground – these also have a high chance of spawning the Survivor Blueprint in Arc Raiders.
• Weapon Case: Next order of priority is the green Weapon Case – loot it up so that anyone entering the room after you does not get a chance to grab a free gun and stop your looting!
• Security Breach Lockers: Up to two Security Breach lockers can spawn in this room. If you have the Security Breach perk unlocked (the last node on the red Survival skill path), make sure to breach and loot these as well — they can contain Epic-rarity items.

If you still have time and feel safe, check the nearby area and consider attempting the Red Room puzzle (requires 3 batteries nearby) for additional high-rarity loot containers.

Alternative Locations for Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint in ARC Raiders

While the Blue Gate Breach Room is by far the most consistent spot, you do have other options. These are especially useful if you want to avoid the intense PvP at Reinforced Reception or if the room is just too contested by speedy Raiders. On all of the below maps, target Medical containers (white pull-out drawers, blue and white medical desk drawers, cabinets) and Augment-style containers (black tech crates, square metal cage racks).

• Buried City — Hospital: The Hospital is the best secondary farming spot – loot every medical drawer, cabinet, and container inside. Focus on medical-style storage and prioritize Night Raid conditions. The Raiders Stash in the nearby parking garage is also worth checking, as it can roll high-tier blueprints. For a less contested option, the Santa Maria Houses have high-value containers, drawers, are fast to reach from most spawns, and are rarely contested.

• Stella Montis — Security Checkpoint: The Security Checkpoint area and its Key Room contain Augment-style black tech crates and Metal Cage Racks spread across multiple floors. The entire structure requires breaching to enter (but you can climb over the wall), flagging it as a high-value zone with better blueprint odds than ordinary rooms. Running naked raids and sprinting to the Security Checkpoint is a viable alternative when you want to avoid Blue Gate entirely.

• Dam Battlegrounds — Testing Annex: The Testing Annex has a medical corridor with a wide variety of medical containers where the blueprint has been confirmed to drop. This area plays similarly to other medical wings — move quickly, open every drawer, cabinet, and supply unit. A decent backup spot and it’s less commonly farmed than Blue Gate or Buried City.

Extra Tips for Farming Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint in ARC Raiders

1. The “Naked Run” Strategy: The most efficient way to farm this blueprint is loading into Blue Gate completely naked — no shield, no guns, no augment. At most, bring a few Adrenaline Shots for stamina. You still get one Safe Pocket, which is all you need to secure the blueprint if it drops. Sprint straight to the Breach Room, loot the high-priority containers, and if you find it, pocket it and surrender. If you get a bad spawn or someone beats you to the room, surrender instantly with zero cost and re-queue.

2. The 27-Minute Rule: When you load into a Blue Gate raid, check the timer. You need to reach the Breach Room door before the timer hits 27 minutes. If you’re later than that, there’s a strong chance someone else has already looted the room. At that point, it’s usually more efficient to surrender immediately and re-queue for a fresh raid rather than running across the entire map hoping for scraps.

3. Weekly Trials as a Backup: The Looting MK3 (Survivor) Blueprint isn’t locked to open-world raids. Several players have obtained it from Weekly Trials reward pools. Aim for all three stars in each Trial section to maximize your chances, and always extract once you’ve earned the Trial points you want — dying before extraction means you lose all progress for that Trial. If you enjoy structured PvE and already run Trials regularly, this is a natural way to roll for the augment while progressing other rewards.

4. Watch Out for the Safekeeper: The Looting Mk.3 (Safekeeper) Blueprint was introduced with the Headwinds Update in January 2026 and shares spawn locations with the Survivor Blueprint. This means you might find a Safekeeper when farming for Survivor (or vice versa). The Safekeeper’s unique feature is being able to store any item — including weapons — in the Safe Pocket, so it’s not a bad consolation prize if it drops instead! Don’t confuse the two blueprints when you find one; double-check before you learn it.
