The Wolfpack blueprint is a permanent unlock: once learned, you can build Wolfpack as often as you can supply materials. Duplicates don’t stack power; they’re best treated as currency and sold for 5,000 coins.


Unlock and prepare the right crafting bench

You’ll need Explosives Station tier III in your hideout to craft Wolfpack. If you’re still leveling benches, prioritize upgrades that move the Explosives Station to tier III before spending materials on non‑essential crafts. The blueprint won’t be usable at lower tiers.

Before you dive into raids purely for Wolfpack, stockpile the required materials:

  • Explosive Compound ×2 per craft
  • Sensors ×2 per craft

Plan for multiple crafts. Bringing home one blueprint but only enough components for a single build slows your progression; aim for several sets of Explosive Compound and Sensors so you can craft, test, and recraft after a loss.


How blueprint drops work in Arc Raiders

Blueprints are not general junk loot. They come from specific sources with higher odds than typical containers:

  • High‑value containers and hidden caches. These are the most reliable spots for rare and epic recipes across maps.
  • Raider bodies. Both AI and player corpses can carry unextracted blueprints; always loot fallen enemies in contested zones.
  • Mission rewards and rotating activities. Some mission completions award blueprints outright. Event reward pools can be limited to certain weapon families (for example, energy weapons) and won’t necessarily include Wolfpack.

Spawn behavior isn’t entirely chaotic. In practice, certain map sub‑areas and playlists (like Night Raid) line up with repeatable blueprint finds. For Wolfpack specifically, players have pulled it from trash bins near the Dam apartments during Night Raid. Treat these as patterns to test, not guarantees, and rotate routes if a location dries up.


Farming routes that surface Wolfpack consistently

Use short, repeatable loops with multiple high‑value container checks and steady combat for body loot. These circuits balance blueprint odds with safe extraction paths.

  • Dam cache circuit: Start at the southern relay and work toward the dam structure. Hit hidden caches clustered near relay shacks and water‑treatment outbuildings, then sweep the apartments. On Night Raid, include trash bins and tucked‑away containers on patios and stairwells. Extract via the closest low‑traffic route rather than crossing open water.
  • Blue Gate village loop: If you have access to the Confiscation Room, anchor the run around it. The room pairs well with nearby hidden caches for two quick blueprint chances per sweep. Exit through northern tunnels to dodge common PvP approaches.

Keep runs tight—about 10–15 minutes—and reset if you haven’t seen a cache in the last few minutes. The shorter the loop, the more blueprint rolls per hour.


Secure the blueprint safely: extract, then “Learn and Consume”

Blueprints are lost on death until extracted. Once you’ve got Wolfpack on you, shift priorities:

  • Break off the route the moment you win or recover the item. Don’t chase extra fights.
  • Stash the blueprint in a safe slot if you’re pushing a risky route next. It’s not worth gambling a rare unlock.
  • Back at the hideout, use the “Learn and Consume” action on the blueprint to add Wolfpack permanently to the Explosives Station III catalog.

Duplicates are pure value. Learn the first copy immediately; sell all later copies for 5,000 coins. That coin flow helps cover bench upgrades and material gaps.


Material planning for Wolfpack crafts

Wolfpack’s recipe is simple—2× Explosive Compound and 2× Sensors—but the pacing is material‑bound. Set a target number of crafts and farm accordingly:

  • Count backwards from your goal. If you want five Wolfpacks ready, you’ll need 10× Explosive Compound and 10× Sensors on hand.
  • Favor routes and fights that already align with your Wolfpack farming. It’s more efficient to gather materials in the same runs where you chase the blueprint than to split your sessions.
  • Avoid burning Explosive Compound on low‑impact crafts until you’ve banked enough for Wolfpack builds.

Once learned, Wolfpack can be rebuilt indefinitely as long as your Explosives Station remains tier III and you keep materials flowing.


Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Hoarding unlearned blueprints. Learn the first Wolfpack immediately after extraction; don’t carry it into another raid.
  • Crafting before you’ve stockpiled. Unlocking the recipe isn’t the bottleneck—materials are. Build reserves before you spend.
  • Ignoring mission rewards. When available, mission‑based blueprint drops are more dependable than pure RNG looting and can free up time for material runs.

A practical action plan

  • Upgrade Explosives Station to tier III so the blueprint is usable on day one.
  • Run short Dam loops that include hidden caches and apartment‑area containers, especially during Night Raid, while looting every body along the path.
  • Extract the moment you secure Wolfpack and “Learn and Consume” it. Sell any duplicates for 5,000 coins.
  • Farm until you have multiple sets of Explosive Compound and Sensors, then begin crafting and recrafting Wolfpack as needed.

Stick to deliberate, repeatable routes and treat the first Wolfpack copy like an extraction mission. With the blueprint learned and materials banked, Wolfpack becomes a dependable part of your kit rather than a lucky drop.
