Arc Raiders Shotgun Choke 3 Blueprint Guide

Shotgun Choke III is a Rare weapon modification that significantly reduces base dispersion. In plain terms, it tightens your shotgun spread so more pellets land where you aim—especially noticeable at short-to-mid range.

What Shotgun Choke III Does

Shotgun Choke III has two main effects:

• 30% Reduced Base Dispersion (tighter spread)
• 20% Increased Durability Burn Rate (wears out faster)

That trade-off matters. The mod helps you land damage more consistently, but you should expect your weapon durability to drop quicker over time.

Compatible Weapons

Shotgun Choke III can be equipped on:

• Il Toro
• Vulcano

If you're not using one of these shotguns, the mod won't help you.

Blueprint Status and Basic Info

“Blueprint Locked: Yes” means you won't reliably produce this on demand until you unlock the blueprint.

How to Get Shotgun Choke III (Blueprint / Item)

There are two sources:

1. Scavenging. You can find it as loot while running raids. This is the “sometimes you get lucky” method.
2. Crafting. Crafting is the consistent route, but it requires the Shotgun Choke III Blueprint and the right station level.

Practical tips for crafting

• Treat this as a “precision upgrade” for Il Toro/Vulcano builds. If you're already comfortable with the spread, you may not feel a huge difference.
• Because durability burn is higher, it's smart to bring backup parts/resources or avoid overcommitting to long, drawn-out fights when you're trying to preserve gear.

For players who prefer to skip the randomness of scavenging and move straight into crafting, Buy Arc Raiders Shotgun Choke III blueprints from U4N can be a practical option. It allows you to focus on building and testing your setup instead of repeating raids just to hope for a drop. Used this way, it’s simply another route to unlock the attachment and get back to playing with a consistent, planned loadout.

Where to find the Shotgun Choke III Blueprint

1. Raid Loot and Containers

There is no fixed or guaranteed spawn location for the Shotgun Choke III blueprint. Like most blueprints in Arc Raiders, it is obtained through general raid looting.

Common places to find blueprints include:

• Raider caches and weapon cases
• Locked rooms and breach-only areas
• Backpacks, duffel bags, and special loot containers

Higher-risk areas usually contain more containers, which increases the chance of finding blueprints.

2. Effective Farming Tips

• Focus on areas with dense loot clusters rather than rushing objectives
• Fully search rooms before moving on, including side containers
• Prioritize high-tier loot zones and locked areas when possible
• Expect randomness — multiple runs may be required

Blueprint drops are random. Consistent looting across multiple raids is the most reliable approach.

When Shotgun Choke III Is Worth Using

Most players get the most value from this mod when:

• They take fights just outside point-blank range and want more reliable pellet hits.
• They prefer controlled shots over “spray and pray.”
• They're using Il Toro or Vulcano as a main weapon and want more consistency per shot.

You might skip it if:

• You're constantly short on durability or repair resources.
• You only use the shotgun as a last-ditch emergency weapon.

Recycling and Salvaging

If you end up with extra copies, you can break it down.

Recycling & Salvaging Results

A simple rule: recycle or salvage duplicates once you have one equipped (or one ready to craft again), especially if your stash space is tight.
