You've probably spent quite a while trying to get the Burletta and Hullcracker blueprints to drop in ARC Raiders. However, what many players don't realize is that these blueprints cannot be obtained through regular looting.
Instead, they're locked behind a specific quest chain that spans roughly 40 quests. While that may sound overwhelming at first, don't worry. In this guide, I'll walk you through the missions you need to complete and show you the exact progression path that eventually unlocks the quests containing the blueprints you're after.

Quest Chain to Obtain the Burletta and Hullcracker Blueprints

To acquire both blueprints, you’ll need to complete two mid-to-late game quests: The Major's Footlocker and Industrial Espionage, both provided by Tian Wen. But before reaching them, I’ll show you the most efficient route so you don’t have to complete every quest just the ones necessary. Below, you’ll find the exact order in which you should tackle these missions.
If you’re new and haven’t completed any quests yet, this guide will be even easier to follow. We’ll start with the very first quest of the game:
- Picking Up the Pieces
Once completed, it will unlock two more quests:
- Clearer Skies
- Trash into Treasure
Completing these will grant access to:
- Off the Radar
After finishing Off the Radar, several quests will unlock, but the one we’re interested in is:
- A Bad Feeling
From here, you’ll need to complete the following quests:
- The Right Tool
- A Better User
- Greasing Her Palms
- Hatch Repairs
- Down to Earth
- The Trifecta
Done with all six? Great! Completing them will unlock the next set of quests in this order:
- Dormant Barons
- What We Left Behind
- Broken Monument
Once Broken Monument is completed, the quest chain to obtain the Burletta Blueprint will unlock:
- Straight Record
- Keeping the Memory
- Echoes of Victory Ridge
- Marked for Death
- Market Correction
- Eyes on the Prize
- Industrial Espionage
After finishing Industrial Espionage, you’ll receive the Burletta Blueprint, marking one of your objectives as complete. Next, continue with the following quests:
- Unexpected Initiative
- A Symbol of Unification
Completing the last quest will unlock The Major's Footlocker, which rewards you with the Hullcracker Blueprint, completing the quest chain for both blueprints.

How to Complete The Major's Footlocker Quest
The Major's Footlocker is a quest given by Tian Wen after completing A Symbol of Unification. For this mission, you’ll need to locate Major Aiva’s Mementos in the Dam Battlegrounds.
Where to Find Major Aiva’s Mementos

Major Aiva’s Mementos can be found in an apartment building at the Ruby Residence point of interest, located in the northwestern section of the Dam Battlegrounds map.
When you arrive at the apartment complex, head into the leftmost building. The item is on the top floor (not the roof). Take two flights of stairs up, then follow the corridor, moving through the rooms until you reach a dead end with a window and a box on a desk in the corner.

This box contains Major Aiva’s Mementos. Interact with it to pick up the item and store it in your inventory. As mentioned earlier, you’ll need to extract with this item, so make sure you have a safe pocket slot ready!
How to Complete the Industrial Espionage Quest
This quest is given by Tian Wen after completing Eyes on the Prize. Your objective is to take the Burletta provided by Tian Wen to the enemy arsenal and plant a listening device.
Where to Find the Enemy Arsenal

When you're ready to complete Industrial Espionage, head to the Gas Station, located in the northern section of Buried City.
While this area is usually not too dangerous, you may have to pass near the Hospital or the Library on your way there. Both locations can attract plenty of activity, so proceed carefully and rely on stealth whenever necessary.
Once you arrive at the Gas Station with the Burletta in your inventory, head to the western side of the building. There, you'll find a square container that serves as the enemy arsenal.

As you approach it, you'll see a prompt displaying "1/1 Burletta." Interact with the container to place the Burletta inside and complete the objective.
