Where You Can Find the Blueprint

Unlike some blueprints that are tied to specific fixed locations, Combat MK.3 (Aggressive) is generally a random loot drop found in various areas across multiple maps. The community has found it in multiple places in normal raids, especially on the Spaceport and Blue Gate maps.

Important notes:

• It doesn't appear to be tied to a single fixed container or room.
• It can spawn in loot containers such as raider backpacks and weapon cases.
• Blueprints like this tend to show up in higher‑tier loot areas (breach rooms, underground vaults, puzzle rooms, etc.).

Common Places to Check

Here are places that players report as good general loot zones that can produce epic augment blueprints (including Combat MK.3 (Aggressive):

1. Blue Gate – Reinforced Reception and Breach Rooms
The underground area beneath Blue Gate often has heavy loot and weapon cases. If you can reach the reinforced reception or breach room early in a raid, there are multiple containers that can drop rare blueprints.

2. Spaceport – Open Loot Areas
Spaceport has scattered containers and loot rooms that often yield random blueprints. Combat MK.3 (Aggressive) has been found here in normal conditions.

3. Buried City Special Loot Routes
Buried City is high‑density for most loot. While not guaranteed for this specific augment, rooms with weapon cases, raider caches, and breachable high‑value interiors are worth checking on any run.

Tips to Increase Your Blueprint Chance

Blueprints in ARC Raiders aren't guaranteed on every run, but you can improve your odds by focusing on loot density and raid conditions:

1. Choose Night or Severe Weather Raids
Night raids and those with conditions like Electromagnetic Storms tend to have higher overall blueprint drop rates.

2. Prioritize High‑Tier Loot Containers
Focus on breach rooms, underground vaults, and puzzle rooms rather than just generic surface containers. These areas have a greater chance to produce epic or rare blueprints.

3. Rotate Through Loot Routes Efficiently
Use known blueprint farming routes (Buried City apartments, station breach rooms, Spaceport loot corridors) and clear multiple high‑value containers before other players or before your extraction timer runs low.

4. Learn to Identify the Containers That Matter
Black raider containers, large weapon cases, and special caches typically have better chances of dropping blueprints than smaller ammo stacks or simple drawers.

Repairing the Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive)

If your Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive) is damaged, you can repair it using:

• 1 Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive) augment
• 1 Advanced Electrical Component
• 2 Processors

The repair will restore 50 durability.

Recycling and Salvaging

The Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive) augment can be recycled into:

• 1 Advanced Electrical Component
• 1 Processor

If you salvage it, you'll get:

• 2 Electrical Components

Tips

• The Combat MK.3 (Aggressive) blueprint isn't tied to a fixed spawn point in the current game meta. It's part of the general high‑tier loot pool and can show up wherever loot containers spawn epic items.
• Blueprint farming will always be partly RNG (random). Multiple runs, varied routes, and choosing conditions that boost loot quality are the most reliable ways to eventually obtain rare recipes.

The Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive) augment is a powerful choice for those who want a boost in shield compatibility and health regeneration while providing extra space for grenades. It's a solid option for players who value increased survivability and offensive capabilities. To enhance your gameplay, crafting or scavenging for this augment can be a key part of your progression.
