How stencils work in ARC Raiders
A stencil is a weapon paint pattern you find as loot in ARC Raiders. Learn it once, and you can apply that pattern to any weapon it fits from then on.
Each skin you make from a learned stencil costs Stencil Parts. The three plain colors cost 2 per skin, and the three Legendary patterns cost 15.
There are 14 stencils as of the 2.0 update. Verdigris, Garnet, and Ochre fit every weapon, while the rest fit a set list.

What the Stencil Tracker does
The tracker shows all 14 stencils in their in-game slots. Hover a card to see its cost and the weapons it fits.
- Mark obtained: left-click a stencil once you have learned it.
- Track duplicates: right-click a stencil to tag a spare copy, which also counts it as obtained.
- Sync your account: Sync pulls your learned stencils through MetaForge Bridge, together with your blueprints and designs.
- Find drop spots: search a stencil to see where other Raiders voted they found it.
Example scenarios
Example Scenario: You mostly run the Anvil. Seven stencils fit it: the three plain colors at 2 Stencil Parts, Cerulean at 4, and Slipstream, Tortoise, and Fortuna at 7.
Example Scenario: You are saving Stencil Parts for Dragon's Breath. It costs 15 per skin and fits only the Tempest, so check the table before you spend them on a weapon you rarely take out.

What is a spare stencil worth?
The Loot Value Ranking lists stencils next to the rest of your loot. Use it to decide whether a spare earns its stash slot.
