Latest News About Smoke Grenade Blueprint Arc Raiders

Here’s what’s known about the latest news on the Smoke Grenade blueprint in ARC Raiders as of now.

• Recent guides and map resources confirm the Smoke Grenade blueprint is a sought-after utility item that creates a 20-second smoke cloud with about a 7.5m radius, blocking vision for both ARC machines and Raiders. It’s craftable at the Utility Station (Level 2) once you’ve learned the blueprint, using 14 Chemicals and 1 Canister [sources mention the crafting details and utility role].[1][3]
• Community discussions and guide aggregators note that players frequently find the blueprint in residential loot spawns (containers, cupboards, desks) during Night Raids or standard residential loot loops, with some anecdotal reports from players about finding it in Blue Gate or other residential areas.[2][7][1]
• Several fan-maintained wikis and listing sites catalog the blueprint as a Legendary/rare item and provide approximate crafting requirements at the Explosives/Utility bench tiers, aligning with 14 Chemicals + 1 Canister to craft once learned.[3][8]
• In practice, traders and marketplace listings market the blueprint as a tradable item, though in-game acquisition remains primarily via loot farming rather than direct purchase from NPCs, according to marketplace posts and item listings.[4][9][10]

How to approach finding the blueprint (practical tips)

• Farm residential loot during Night Raids or other major map conditions when loot drops are boosted; focus on containers, desks, and dustbins in residential areas like Blue Gate or Buried City equivalents, as these are repeatedly cited locations in guides and community posts.[7][1][2]
• Expect RNG: the blueprint is not guaranteed every run; persistence across multiple raids with efficient looting is advised.[2][7]
• Once learned, set up your Utility Station (Level 2) to craft Smoke Grenades quickly using 14 Chemicals and 1 Canister per unit.[1][3]

Illustration example

• Crafting snapshot: Blueprint learned → Utility Station Level 2 → 14 Chemicals + 1 Canister yields Smoke Grenade. Smoke lasts 20 seconds, 7.5m radius, blocking ARC and Raider line of sight, enabling revives, breaching, or extraction cover.[3][1]

If you’d like, I can summarize a few recent maps or raid routes that players are currently using to farm the blueprint efficiently, or compare the Smoke Grenade to other similar utility items in ARC Raiders. I can also pull up the exact crafting costs and map locations from the latest community-maintained wikis if you want a precise, step-by-step farming plan.
