Stable Stock II is an Uncommon weapon modification in Arc Raiders. It focuses on improving weapon stability by reducing recoil recovery duration and dispersion recovery time. This makes it a practical upgrade for players who want more consistent follow-up shots without changing their playstyle.
This guide explains what Stable Stock II does, how the blueprint works, where to get it, and how crafting fits into long-term progression.
What Stable Stock II Does
Stable Stock II improves how quickly your weapon settles after firing. It does not increase raw damage or accuracy directly, but it helps weapons feel steadier during sustained fire.
Key effects:
- 35% reduced recoil recovery duration
- 35% reduced dispersion recovery time
These bonuses are most noticeable on automatic and fast-firing weapons, where recoil control matters over multiple shots.

If you regularly switch between these weapons, unlocking the blueprint gives you flexibility across multiple loadouts.
How to Get the Stable Stock II Blueprint
There are three known ways to access Stable Stock II:
1. Scavenging
- The item or blueprint can appear as loot during raids.
- This method is random and not reliable long-term.
2. Vendor Purchase
- The blueprint or item may be sold by the NPC Tian Wen, depending on stock rotation and progression.
3. Crafting (Blueprint Required)
- Once the blueprint is unlocked, crafting becomes the most consistent way to obtain Stable Stock II.
Most players eventually rely on crafting after learning the blueprint.
Crafting Stable Stock II
After unlocking the blueprint, Stable Stock II can be crafted at the Gunsmith.
Crafting Requirements
| Ingredients | Station & Requirements | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × Mechanical Components 3 × Duct Tape | Gunsmith Level 2 Stable Stock II Blueprint learned | 1 × Stable Stock II |
Crafting costs are moderate, making this modification easy to maintain once unlocked.
For players who want to skip the uncertainty of drops and vendor rotations, some choose to buy Arc Raiders Stable Stock II blueprints from U4N. It can be a practical option if you already know this mod fits your build and you prefer to spend more time playing rather than farming. As with any shortcut, it’s best used when you understand how the blueprint works and plan to rely on crafting it long term.
Stable Stock II & III Blueprint Location and How to Get Them
There is no single guaranteed spawn location for the Stable Stock II or III blueprint. Players usually obtain them through the following methods.
1. Loot High-Value Containers
Stable Stock blueprints most often come from higher-quality loot containers, such as:
- Weapon cases
- Lockers
- Special containers inside buildings
- Secured or breach rooms
Areas with dense indoor loot, including residential buildings, underground sections, and interior combat zones, tend to be more reliable. Players commonly report finding weapon attachment blueprints in lockers, drawers, and weapon cases rather than open-world crates.
Night raids or more dangerous raid conditions may slightly improve overall blueprint drop chances.
2. Follow Blueprint Farming Routes
Many experienced players run repeatable loot routes focused on containers rather than enemies.
A common approach is:
- Start in a high-density loot area
- Fully clear every container before moving on
- Prioritize weapon cases and lockers first
- Move through buildings methodically instead of rushing extraction
This approach increases your chances over time, especially for rarer blueprints like Stable Stock III.
3. Trading or Third-Party Purchases (Outside the Game)
Some players choose to acquire blueprints through community trading or third-party marketplaces. This is not an in-game system and depends on external services rather than gameplay progression.
Tips for Farming Stable Stock Blueprints
- Focus on container-heavy areas rather than enemy kills.
- Fully loot buildings instead of skipping rooms.
- Prioritize lockers, weapon cases, and secured rooms.
- Be patient—attachment blueprints are not guaranteed drops.
- Consider running consistent routes rather than random exploration.
Recycling and Salvaging
If you no longer need the mod, it can be broken down for materials.
| Method | Materials Returned |
|---|---|
| Recycling | 1 × Mechanical Components 1 × Duct Tape |
| Salvaging | 1 × Mechanical Components |
This helps recover part of the investment, especially when upgrading or adjusting builds.
When Stable Stock II Is Worth Using
Stable Stock II is best suited for players who:
- Prefer controlled automatic fire
- Want smoother recoil recovery without changing weapon behavior too much
- Use multiple compatible weapons and value flexibility
It is a steady, practical upgrade rather than a dramatic one, and it fits well into mid-game builds.
Summary
Stable Stock II is a reliable weapon modification that improves handling rather than raw power. Unlocking the blueprint gives you long-term access through crafting, making it a solid choice for consistent loadouts and sustained combat.
