Where to Get the Anvil Blueprint in ARC Raiders

Aptly named.

Anvil is arguably one of the best guns in ARC Raiders, and finding one can lead to an excellent run where you have a good shot at taking out ARCs and other players. It’s also pretty rare and expensive if you don’t have a blueprint.

While there is no fixed location to obtain this blueprint, knowing what to loot and search can make all the difference in your quest to find it. Here is where you can typically find the Anvil blueprint in ARC Raiders.

Finding the Anvil Blueprint in ARC Raiders

There is no fixed location for the Anvil Blueprint, but you can technically find one in any human container. This means you can come across one in anything that isn’t an ARC container. That said, some containers tend to hold higher rarity loot, which the Anvil Blueprint certainly qualifies as. If you’re hunting for this blueprint, or rare blueprints in general, try looting the following:

  • Red Lockers: These are always indoors and often contain rare items, including blueprints.
  • Raider Cache: You can find these outdoors, usually half-submerged in debris or the ground. They are small metal containers with a yellow logo. You’ll hear a ticking sound if you’re near it. This is where I found my Anvil Blueprint as well:

Other than that, loot basically every human container you can find, and you’ll eventually come across one. Just make sure you have an augment equipped with a safe pocket because you do not want to lose this blueprint.

It really is pure RNG because people have confirmed that they found it in random spots, like a suitcase in an apartment building or even a trash can. So, keep searching and don’t underestimate the value of an unchecked bin!

Anvil Crafting Requirements

Once you’ve found a blueprint, though, make sure to learn it from your inventory, and then you’ll be able to craft it at the Gunsmith workbench for the following:

Anvil Ix5 Mechanical Components
x6 Simple Gun Parts

This hand cannon is one of the best guns in ARC Raiders, and it packs a massive punch. Finding and saving its blueprint should be a priority; otherwise, you’ll have to spend 15K to buy it, which is quite a lot, especially early on. If there’s a gun I’m suspecting will be nerfed, it’s this one.
