Quick answer: The Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) blueprint drops from containers in the Reinforced Reception area on the Blue Gate map, just north of the Village and next to an extraction point and hatch. Sprint there at the start of a raid and loot every container in the room, then extract with the blueprint in your safe pocket.
Where To Find Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) On Blue Gate
The Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) blueprint is tied to Blue Gate and the underground Reinforced Reception area.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Map | Blue Gate |
| Sub‑area | Reinforced Reception (security wing tunnels) |
| Region on map | Northern edge, adjacent to Village |
| Nearby points | Extraction point and a hatch entrance |
| Blueprint source | Loot containers inside Reinforced Reception (lockers, crates, augment/medical containers) |
Reaching Reinforced Reception Quickly
Competition for Mk. 3 augments on Blue Gate is high, so speed matters.
General approach:
- Spawn on Blue Gate.
- Check your position relative to the Village on the north side.
- If you are close, sprint straight for the Village and then down into the Blue Gate tunnels toward Reinforced Reception.
- If you spawn far away, consider extracting and re‑queueing instead of crossing the whole map late.
Movement tips that help:
- Bring stamina and movement consumables (stims/adrenaline shots) so you can sprint the entire way.
- Use ziplines and drops inside the tunnel network to shave seconds when dropping toward the security wing.
- Aim to reach Reinforced Reception in roughly the first minute of raid time to beat other raiders to the room.
Finding The Correct Loot Room
Inside the Blue Gate tunnels, head into the security wing toward Reinforced Reception. The key area for Mk. 3 augments is a breachable room off the main corridor.
Key details:
- Look for a door in Reinforced Reception that sometimes starts closed and breachable.
- Inside, you can find locker banks, containers, and sometimes dedicated augment cases.
- The same wing also has upper floors with medical and augment‑style containers that can drop augment blueprints.
If the breach door is already open or the lockers are empty when you arrive, other players have probably looted the room first. In that case, either clear the remaining containers in the wing or extract and try another raid.
How To Farm Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) Efficiently
The Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) blueprint comes from random rolls, but you can stack the odds by focusing your time on the best containers around Reinforced Reception and nearby tunnels.
Recommended Farming Loop
Run a focused loop from spawn to Reinforced Reception and out again rather than playing full raids:
- Equip a cheap loadout so losses are low if you die racing other raiders.
- Leave one slot free in your safe pocket specifically for the blueprint.
- On spawn, check that you are reasonably close to the Village/Blue Gate tunnel entrance.
- Sprint straight into the tunnels and down to Reinforced Reception.
Once in the area, prioritize containers that can hold augment blueprints:
- Open every locker inside the breach room.
- Loot any augment‑style cases and medical drawers in and around Reinforced Reception.
- If time allows, quickly sweep the floor above for extra augment/medical containers.
When you either pick up the Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) blueprint or confirm the room is dry, leave immediately, and extract at the nearby point so the blueprint is banked safely.
Why Reinforced Reception Is So Contested
Reinforced Reception is one of the densest augment loot spots in ARC Raiders. Multiple Mk. 3 augments can drop in this wing, not only Revival, so raiders frequently rush here at the start of a match to roll for:
- Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival)
- Other Tactical Mk. 3 augments (for example, Healing and similar support variants)
- Combat‑focused Mk. 3 augments and complex gun parts from augment containers
Because of this, expect to arrive at the same time as other players, even with a clean sprint. Be ready to contest the room or retreat if you arrive late.
How The Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) Augment Works
The Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) augment focuses on reviving teammates and steady self‑healing during downtime.
| Property | Effect |
|---|---|
| Core perk | Built‑in defibrillator usable to revive injured teammates or other players |
| Defib cooldown | Once every four minutes |
| Passive healing | Restores 1 health every 5 seconds |
| Healing interruption | Regeneration pauses for 30 seconds when you take damage |
| Augment slots | 16 slots total |
The four‑minute cooldown on the defibrillator keeps it from replacing dedicated revival tools completely, but still gives your squad a powerful safety net in long fights. The slow but constant self‑healing reduces reliance on medical items between engagements, provided you can stay out of damage long enough for the regeneration to tick.
Playstyle Impact
With 16 slots and a strong support focus, Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) is best suited to players who value survivability and team utility over pure damage.
Typical trade‑offs:
- More room for healing‑oriented items and perks.
- Less space for offensive and utility augment options than a combat‑focused rig.
For squads that play around revives, trades, and attrition, the built‑in defib plus passive sustain can easily justify dedicating an augment slot to Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival) once its blueprint has been learned and crafted.
