Learn how to get the Compensator Blueprint in Arc Raiders so you can craft the mod and enhance your weapon’s capabilities.
In an extraction shooter such as Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders, mods like the Compensator are important since guns will be your primary weapon in combat. This particular mod aims to make your life a bit easier during the fights by reducing your weapon’s recoil and bullet spread and increasing accuracy and stability. However, to craft it in the game, you will need the Compensator Blueprint. So, in this guide, we will tell you how you can get that particular rare item.
How To Find the Compensator Blueprint in Arc Raiders
The Compensator is an essential mode that optimizes and enhances your weapon. It reduces vertical recoil and muzzle climb and makes the gun easier to control, especially the ones that come with automatic fire or burst fire settings. Furthermore, to craft the Compensator in the game, you will need its blueprint.
The Compensator blueprint is a rare drop in Arc Raiders, which means you will have to look into high-tier loot caches to find it, such as the Raider Caches as well as Security Lockers. The said caches often spawn in high-loot areas in Dam Battlegrounds, Blue Gate, Buried City, etc., and are marked on your map with a yellow/red line. The color indicates the risk and density of enemies in these regions, as well as the quality of the loot.
Of course, because of the randomized loot system of the game, you might not find the blueprint on your first try. But keep raiding and looting, and you will eventually get your hands on it. Alternatively, you may also get the item as a reward for quests.
How To Craft the Compensator in Arc Raiders
Starting with the basics, to craft a Compensator in the game, the first thing you will need is a Gunsmith Workstation of level 3. Then, you can use the found blueprint to unlock the recipe for the mod, which lets you craft the weapon anytime you want thereafter. With that said, here is what you need to craft the Compensator in Arc Raiders.
Required resources for crafting the Compensator:
- Gunsmith Workbench level 3.
