The Aphelion Blueprint is one of the most sought-after drops in ARC Raiders, required to craft the powerful Aphelion weapon. Unlike fixed blueprint pickups, Aphelion is tied to specific sources. In this guide, we will look at all possible ways and the best locations to find the Aphelion Blueprint.
Where to Find the Aphelion Blueprint

The December update (1.7.0) for ARC Raiders added the Aphelion blueprint in various places throughout the Stella Montis map. The blueprint will be available as loot from different types of containers, crates, boxes, and drawers in the Stella Montis area.
There are no fixed spawn points for the blueprint. It can appear in standard loot containers found across Stella Montis. The drop is entirely RNG-based.
Important
In earlier versions of ARC Raiders, the Aphelion Blueprint could drop from the Matriarch. But that method is no longer applicable, and the blueprint can exclusively be found in Stella Montis.

Finding the Aphelion Blueprint ultimately depends on your luck. Focus your search on areas with a high density of containers. With the blueprint and the required materials gathered, you’ll be able to wield one of the game’s most powerful weapon.
