​ 2026 Arc Raiders: Ultimate Guide to Every Legendary Item & Blueprint

This guide explains how to acquire all the legendary items and blueprints in ARC Raiders 2026, covering the Kinetic Converter, Anvil Splitter, Grappling Hook, Mother/Queen Reactor, and legendary weapons such as Fornax, Equalizer, Jupiter, and Dorabra. The guide also recommends the most efficient farming routes, map event tips, and tactics for dealing with high-risk theft to maximize your collection efficiency.

1.  Legendary Attachments (No Blueprints)

 Kinetic Converter

Boosts fire rate by 15% but increases recoil – you can offset that with other attachments. Currently, there is no blueprint, so you must farm the item directly – though some players who buy ARC Raiders Items to skip the grind might still find these farming spots useful for saving coins or obtaining extras. For those willing to farm manually, here are the high-yield locations:

• Riven Tides – Hotel fourth floor (west side). Use the zipline outside or enter from ground floor and take the interior zipline up. Check all red lockers and recycling bins.

• Dam Battlegrounds – Hydroponic dome buildings (red lockers + breachable containers). If cleared, try Ruby Residence or Pale Apartments (brown dressers). For a risky run, climb to the control tower roof, take the ladder down partway, jump left to a ledge with breachable containers – bring a zipline for escape.

• Buried City – Pharmacy near Piazza Arbusto (breach door, check dressers and white cabinets). Another pharmacy near Plaza Rosa (same loot). Also the west-side apartment buildings (zipline up, check drawers).

• Spaceport – Container storage building top floor (breachable room), then vehicle maintenance building next door. Also the southernmost launch tower top (breachable box + red lockers) and both trench tower top floors (bring a snap hook for access).

Scrappy tip: Feed him agave, but odds are terrible (over 100 tries gave me nothing). Farm manually

Anvil Splitter

Splits your anvil shot into four pellets – more total damage if all hit, but I’m not a fan. Like the converter, no blueprint exists yet. Use the exact same farm spots above. Buried City gave me the most splitters statistically – run it during night raids or increased-loot map conditions for better chances. Again, Scrappy with agave is a waste of time.

 Snap Hook

The best vertical movement tool – use it, then store it in your safe pocket. Blueprint is easy to get during the Electromagnetic Storm event. Head to Dam Battlegrounds, Research & Admin building, top-floor office cubicles – check every desk drawer and breachable container. Also found some on Bluegate map during the same event, but stick to Dam for efficiency. Farming the item directly? The same farm spots for the converter/splitter also drop snap hooks. Scrappy with prickly pears? Save your fruit – the drop rate is laughably low.

2.  Crafting Materials for Legendary Weapons

 Matriarch Reactor

Two ways:

1. Join a Matriarch map event (check Embark’s official tracker). Fight her at range, shoot the armor off her legs, use a smoke grenade to approach, and loot the fallen armor pieces – very good chance to get a reactor. Also loot her core after death, but armor pieces are easier.

2. Feed Scrappy fruit mix (crafted with lemon, apricot, prickly pear – found on Stella Montis, in the cafeteria fridge after using a battery to open the door). But RNG is brutal; stick to the event.

 Queen Reactor

Same method – join the Harvester event, find the Queen guarding it, break the armor off her legs, smoke and loot. Or try Scrappy with fruit mix again – low odds, not recommended.

 Guitar (Cosmetic)

Sadly, the old secret puzzle on Buried City is removed. Now you can buy it from Shawnee at Speranzo for 70 credits – one per day. Boring but straightforward.

3. Legendary Weapon Blueprints

 Aphelion (Burst Rifle)

Recently buffed (better recoil, ADS speed, fire rate). The only legendary that accepts attachments. The blueprint used to drop only from the Matriarch’s core, but now it’s much easier: go to Stella Montis during a night raid and open breachable containers, red lockers, or green drawers on shipping containers – especially in the loading bay area. Loot everything there; RNG will eventually reward you.

 Equalizer & Jupiter

These are the current strongest legendaries (Jupiter got a buff and is great against the new turbine Arc). Their blueprints come from the Harvester map event (not the Queen fight, but the Harvester itself). Enter the Harvester, climb ledges, breach plates to find 3 power cells (one is often on the floor). Insert them into the central column slots, then shoot all yellow buttons that appear on the walls. When done, three loot containers emerge from the center – they can drop either blueprint. Beware: the Harvester may blast fire (hear a whirring sound? Get out!) or electric shocks – re-enter and continue.

Dolabra (New Legendary)

This weapon is a shotgun when hip-fired and a railgun when ADS. Its blueprint is only found during the Close Scrutiny event. Assessors drop from the sky – approach one, breach one of its three columns. About halfway through, Arc reinforcements (Rocketeers, Vaporizers) will spawn. Your best tactic: bring a photoelectric cloak and many smoke grenades. Throw a smoke at your feet when you hear enemies incoming, finish breaching, grab the blueprint (if lucky) into your safe pocket, then activate cloak to escape. Important: The cloak duration was nerfed to 9.5 seconds in the Riven Tides update – bring extra smokes for cover. The drop rate is low (not Scrappy-low, but still low), so you may need several Assessors. Don’t give up!

Final Thoughts

In 2026 Arc Raiders, farming legendaries comes down to a few key routes: hit the four maps for attachments, grab reactors from events, and farm Aphelion on night raids. Equalizer and Jupiter come from the Harvester puzzle, while Dolabra demands multiple Assessor runs with cloak (now 9.5s). Cheap ARC Raiders Coins can speed things up, but all gear is free to farm. Stay patient and RNG will deliver.
