How to Get the Dolabra Blueprint in Arc Raiders: Locations & Crafting Guide

Why the Dolabra Is the Meta Right Now

Listen up, Raiders—if you haven’t tried the Dolabra yet, you’re missing out. Unlike your run-of-the-mill Firehawk or Renegade, this ARC-tech shotgun has a Variable Focus firing mode that lets you adapt on the fly.

• Hipfire: Smashes through swarms of small ARC drones with a wide, high-impact cone.
• ADS (Aim Down Sights): Converts that same energy into a tight beam, tearing through armored units like Vaporizers at medium range.

This isn’t just a shotgun—it’s a Swiss Army knife for Close Scrutiny and Buried City extractions.

Where to Grab the Dolabra Blueprint

Here’s the insider info: the blueprint isn’t a random drop. You’re looking at Arc Assessor events during Close Scrutiny operations.

1. Buried City – Solo-Friendly

Solo Raiders, this is your playground. Hunt around the Central Plaza or the Mall Ruins—look for yellow surveyor beams.

Pro Tip: Use multi-story buildings to dodge the Assessor’s red lasers while waiting for breach cycles. Cover and patience = blueprint.

2. Stella Montis – Squad Heaven

Squad play? Go high. Observation Deck and Tram Station are your hotspots, but expect resistance.

Pro Tip: Assign one teammate for overwatch while two handle ARC waves at the Assessor’s base. Coordination here is everything.

How to Secure the Blueprint: The Breach Mechanic

Securing the blueprint isn’t casual; it’s a three-stage breaching process:

1. Console Activation: Triggers a Viper drone wave.
2. Zone Defense: Assessor fires defensive lasers—hide behind deployment legs to preserve shields.
3. Core Opens: Dolabra Blueprint sits in the central chamber.

Hot Tip: Toss it in your Safe Pocket ASAP. Even if extraction fails, your blueprint is safe.

Crafting Your Dolabra: Materials & NPCs

Blueprint in hand? Head to Speranza hub and hit the Gunsmith. Rank III is required.

Materials Needed:

• 1x Dolabra Blueprint (from Arc Assessor)
• 3x Shredder Gyros (Dam Battlegrounds or recycle T2 ARC parts)
• 3x Magnetic Accelerators (farm Matriarch or Queen encounters)
• 2x Vaporizer Regulators (new Flashpoint drop)

Pro Tip: Use the “Acquire Resources” button (Update 1.23.0). It highlights exactly where your missing mats are spawning—time saver for serious Raiders.

Final Verdict: Is the Dolabra Worth It?

For PvE, absolutely—it shreds mechanical threats like nothing else.
For PvP, it demands skill due to ADS charge-up, but mastery here means you’ll outgun any shotgun user.

Stock up your Adrenaline Shots; Buried City extractions aren’t forgiving. Once you’ve crafted this beast, you’ll see why veteran Raiders swear by it.

Don’t wait—grab your blueprint and start farming today. Master the Dolabra, and you’ll dominate Arc Raiders faster than your squad can say “Extraction Complete.”
