How to Get the Rascal blueprint in ARC Raiders

The latest update for ARC Raiders introduced several major additions, but this time we’re focusing on the new weapon called “The Rascal,” a rocket launcher built specifically for PvE combat. Players are already calling it a mini-Hullcracker thanks to the massive damage it deals against ARCs. Even though it’s a rare-tier weapon that uses rocket ammo and requires a reload after every shot, its raw power makes it more than worth using. If you still don’t know how to get the Rascal blueprint in ARC Raiders, this guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to unlock it and start crafting it as soon as possible.

Where to Find the Rascal Blueprint in ARC Raiders

Since the Rascal Blueprint is still a newly added blueprint, there isn’t a completely guaranteed location to find it yet. However, according to players who have already managed to get it, the blueprint seems to have a chance of dropping in several different areas. Even so, the method that has worked most consistently so far is farming the First Wave caches during the Hurricane map modifier.

Hurricane Event

These First Wave caches are known for dropping high-value blueprints, including weapons like the Tempest and several other rare items, which makes them one of the best places to get the new Rascal blueprint. If you want to farm it efficiently, the two best maps for this event are Dam Battlegrounds and Bluegate, since both offer strong First Wave cache routes and fast rotations. To improve your chances even more, make sure to follow an optimized farming route using our dedicated First Wave caches guide.

Note: If you want to know the exact schedule for the map modifiers, you can visit the official ARC Raiders website.

Dam Battlegrounds Route

There’s a very specific area that should always be your top priority. In each run, you can find between 5 and 8 caches, meaning you could complete around 4 to 5 runs per hour.

Blue Gate Route

Another great map full of caches where, rather than focusing on a single area, the ideal approach is to follow a route to farm as many First Wave Caches as possible, since they are more spread out across the map.

How to Craft the Rascal in ARC Raiders

To craft this weapon once you’ve obtained its blueprint, you’ll need to have your Gunsmith at Level 2 and the following materials:

It’s going to be a pretty expensive weapon to craft, so hopefully its damage is close to the Hullcracker, although I doubt it’ll be stronger. Considering you can already buy one Hullcracker per day from the shop, it makes the Rascal feel a bit pointless if it isn’t easy to craft.
