Diablo 4 Season 11 Judgement Paladin Build Guide: Best Endgame Setup for Fast Clears, High Damage, and Pit Farming

In WoW TBC Classic Anniversary, Shamans are a powerful class, performing exceptionally well both solo and in groups. They possess three different specs, meaning three different talent trees.

Therefore, Shaman players have multiple choices during leveling, and each decision will have different effects on your character, so careful selection is essential.

If you feel confused, don't worry. Whether you're playing Shamans for the first time or preparing to relive this classic class in TBC Anniversary Pre-Patch, this guide will help you smoothly level from 1 to 60.

The following sections will detail everything from best gear and talent specializations to leveling zones, helping you level up quickly.

Starting zone selection

After successfully creating your character, you need to decide where to begin your leveling adventure. You can choose based on your chosen party composition.

Since Draenei race will be introduced in TBC Pre-Patch, marking Alliance's first Shaman class, I highly recommend Draenei starting zone. This zone not only has Shaman trainers but also offers Totem quests.

However, this zone is expected to be extremely crowded with enthusiastic players when Pre-Patch goes live. I suggest finding a mage to open a portal to other cities or having a warlock summon you to the capital city before moving on to other areas.

Gear selection

As a Shaman, you need to acquire key gear as quickly as possible to accelerate your leveling.

Fiery can be used early on. It has a chance to trigger 40 fire damage on normal attacks, which is incredibly powerful at low levels. This is especially effective when using fast-attacking weapons. You can use Enchant Weapon until level 30, after which you should switch to Crusader for additional strength and healing.

Alternatively, you can use daggers early on due to their high attack speed. After level 40, consider upgrading to two-handed weapons until you unlock Dual Wield at level 40. Then you can focus on acquiring one-handed weapons for maximum damage output.

Talent Trees

Since Shamans have three different talent trees, you need to make the most suitable choice based on your leveling needs.

Enhancement Shaman

Enhancement Shaman is primarily a melee DPS class, making it ideal for leveling in The Burning Crusade Anniversary, providing excellent melee damage and survivability.

Level 20: When you reach level 20, Shamans can transform into werewolves. At this point, you can allocate 2 talent points to the first talent - Improved Ghost Wolf. This allows for easier movement between different monsters or free exploration in the open world.

Level 30: Now you switch to two-handed weapons, and you should focus on talents that improve overall damage and mobility, such as Flurry and Unleashed Rage.

Level 40: At this stage, you unlock Dual Wield. After that, you only need to focus on improving Stormstrike for additional burst damage.

Elemental Shaman

While Elemental talent tree offers decent ranged damage, its high mana cost and relatively low damage, especially in the early game, make it unsuitable for solo leveling.

If you prefer ranged combat, Elemental Shaman is an option, but you'll need to prioritize mana regeneration nodes in the talent tree.

Restoration Shaman

Restoration Shaman is Shaman's healing specialization and the slowest to level. It's best suited for group healers. If you plan to participate in group content or dungeons, consider Restoration talent tree.

In short, I still recommend choosing Enhancement talent tree for faster and more efficient solo leveling.

Leveling path

In the early stages, when you're only a few levels, simply stay in the starting area and slowly complete quests, focusing on totem quests. These quests will unlock new abilities; unlock Fire Totem and Water Totem as quickly as possible. After obtaining the totem, you can stay in Bloodmyst Isle doing quests until you reach level 20. Here, you can obtain a large amount of green upgrade gear, thus accelerating your leveling process.

Afterward, you can travel to different areas to do quests and level up.

Below is a recommended Shaman leveling route:

• Levels 1-20: Azuremyst Isle, Bloodmyst Isle;
• Levels 20-30: Westfall, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood;
• Levels 30-40: Strangthorn Vale, Arathi Highlands, Desolace;
• Levels 40-50: Tanaris, Feralas, Hinterlands;
• Levels 50-60: Searing Gorge, Blasted Lands, Western Plaguelands, Eastern Plaguelands.

When you reach level 58, you can prepare to enter Outland. The quests here are relatively more difficult, but your gear, XP, and farming efficiency will undergo a significant transformation.

This will prepare you thoroughly for the official integration of WoW TBC Anniversary later.

Efficient leveling tips

• Kite Enemies: If you encounter powerful enemies that are difficult to deal with while leveling, use Searing Totems and Earthbind Totems for crowd control, allowing you to attack while dodging damage.
• Utilize Explosive Rockets: When you are at a low level, in areas with dense enemy populations, you can use Explosive Rockets to deal area damage to multiple enemies, helping you clear monsters more efficiently.
• Focus on Quests: Try to complete multiple quests in the same area to reduce travel time. Avoid wasting time on quests that are not worthwhile or have poor rewards.
• Auction House: Don't forget to check Auction House from time to time. There are items there that can speed up quest completion. A little WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold can save you effort and time, which is worthwhile.

That's all the information on how to upgrade Shaman. With XP boost provided during TBC Classic Anniversary Pre-Patch, you'll have 2-4 weeks to level your class from 1 to 60, so you'll have a fully capable character for raids on launch day.

The first patch for EA Sports FC 26 in 2026, version 1.4.0, has finally arrived, and this update has sparked heated discussions within the player community.

In this update, you’ll see fewer AI defenders in the game, and more breathing room on the field. The overall gameplay will be more natural and fluid in terms of responsiveness and pace.

This article will detail the changes in this EA FC 26 patch and their impact on the gameplay experience.

Artificial Intelligence Changes

The focus of this update is on adjusting AI ​​defensive mechanisms. The reaction time of AI-controlled defenders when marking the ball carrier will be shortened, making offensive play less restricted for players.

This change means that players can find those fleeting gaps between defensive transitions to attack, instead of facing an impenetrable wall of AI defenders.

This is good news for players who prefer creative passing and movement rather than relying on fixed offensive patterns. Many passes will now be successful instead of being intercepted by those incredibly fast AI players as before.

However, for defensive-minded players, the weakening of defensive AI means that these AI players will be more disoriented on the field, potentially making the game more offense-oriented and putting them at a disadvantage. This change is not conducive to their competitive play.

Therefore, it’s clear that players’ core idea isn’t to weaken AI players, but to have developers create a new, dynamic balance between offense and defense in human-versus-AI matches, instead of simply making one side easier than the other.

However, EA has stated that to encourage more fluid offensive play, they will continue to monitor player feedback on the AI ​​changes and make further adjustments later.

CPU AI behavior in Squad Battles has also been positively adjusted. Previously, players often complained that CPU AI frequently held the ball for extended periods in low-possession situations, making the entire game passive and significantly affecting the gameplay experience.

Now, CPU AI will no longer focus on ball possession as before, but will adopt a more proactive offensive strategy, resulting in faster-paced and more exciting matches, giving players a more realistic competitive environment. 

Gameplay Adjustments

In this update, EA has changed and optimized the minimum and maximum height thresholds used to determine player running types. The minimum height requirement for long-distance running for male players is 185 cm, and 165 cm for female players, while the height requirements for other long-distance running types remain unchanged.

In addition, the developers have added more realistic scenarios to the game. For example, when two players with significantly different strength attributes engage in a shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, the player with lower strength will be more likely to stumble. Players with higher strength and aggression attributes will be better at shielding the ball.

These two changes avoid some distortions seen in previous versions, making the game closer to reality. They also enhance the differentiated experience of players, indicating that physical attributes will become an important consideration for club managers.

This means that when choosing between two players with similar attributes but different physical abilities using the same amount of FC 26 Coins, players will be more inclined to choose the one with superior physical attributes.

Besides the differentiation optimization for players, the update also adds an important feature: defenders can now perform automatic clearances when there is a clear goal-scoring opportunity on the goal line. This aims to enhance defensive reliability and make last-ditch interceptions more effective.

However, this function only applies at the last moment, when the defender can block a goal. This heavily tests players’ reaction abilities; being too sensitive might disrupt normal defensive actions, while being too conservative defeats the purpose of the feature. Whether players can react in time in the fast-paced game environment remains to be seen.

Finally, the developers have reduced the shooting accuracy of shots taken immediately after performing skill moves, reducing many unrealistic goal-scoring opportunities.

Career Mode Optimization

Career Mode has also received several structural updates. Player status information has been expanded into separate Contract and General fields, providing a clearer understanding of players’ negotiation willingness and potential, allowing players to focus more on strategic decision-making.

In Player Career, Archetype eligibility is now linked to Origin Stories, and Starting AP is replaced by Starting Skill Level, providing a more narrative-driven career experience. Meanwhile, the developers have also adjusted the job security logic for managers in unstable positions; ICONs and Heroes can now sign contracts up to 3 years, increasing the dynamism and realism of FC 26 and allowing players to be more immersed in the game.

In addition to the above, the developers have also added a New Release hub in Ultimate Team, making it easier for players to quickly view featured content and browse the latest squad challenges, objectives, and other information.

This patch is not just a series of gameplay adjustments, but also reflects a shift in EA Sports FC 26’s attitude towards players. During the transition from FIFA series to EA Sports FC series, the developers have consistently faced the challenge of how to retain the core experience while responding to criticism from the player community.

This update shows that EA FC 26 has clearly incorporated more feedback from the player community, particularly regarding adjustments to defensive AI and Squad Battles pace, directly addressing the most common criticisms on player forums and social media.

While player reactions have been mixed, these changes demonstrate the developers’ willingness to listen to player feedback, make adjustments, and improve the game. We look forward to FC 26 delivering an even better gaming experience in the next update.

Many players are eagerly awaiting the pre-patch for WoW TBC Classic Anniversary, which will be released on January 13th. It will include an easier and simpler character leveling process and significantly reduced challenge content, allowing both new players and loyal fans to enjoy a brand new experience.

In particular, the dungeons, which have undergone numerous improvements, are highly praised by players for their combat and high loot drop rates. However, some players have stated that, like other expansions, a perfect team composition is an important prerequisite for getting the best dungeon experience in TBC Classic.

Therefore, based on feedback from players who have entered PTR, this section will list the best team setup for running all dungeons in this new expansion. Although the official version will be released 2-4 weeks after the pre-patch, it’s always good to be prepared in advance.

Do not Use Druids

Before we begin introducing the best team setup, there is an important point to keep in mind: your team must include a healer who can cast Resurrection spell, which can increase your team’s survivability and allows you to tackle more challenging encounters without being forced to retreat.

Among the classes capable of fulfilling this role, Shaman, Paladin, and Priest are all solid choices, each offering unique support abilities and utility that can complement your team’s strategy.

It is important, however, to avoid substituting these classes with a Druid solely for their tanky, as your team will need to spend more time recovering and healing after each encounter. In practical terms, this means fewer opportunities to engage in combat and slower overall progress.

If you’re really worried, you can prepare some items to increase their maximum health or recovery abilities during combat, such as specific potions and armor. When the official version is released, EZG.com will provide corresponding guides for all players, so you can keep track of it then.

Based on feedback from most players, the groups that run dungeons most easily in WoW TBC Anniversary expansion are those focused on powerful melee attacks, so they will be introduced here.

1. Healer + Tank + DPSx3

While Druids cannot be healers, they can serve as tanks in this setup, especially Feral Druids, whose Leader of the Pack talent provides Warriors with a 5% critical strike chance bonus, one of the most essential attributes for DPS.

The healer recommends Shaman, not only because Windfury Totem can help teammates deal more damage to enemies, but also because its Reincarnation spell can revive the entire team, even if Shaman dies. As for DPS, you can choose any three specializations that have extremely high damage output, like Warriors.

2. Healer + Enhancement Shaman + Tank + DPSx2

This team setup is a variation of the previous one, replacing the regular Shaman with an Enhancement Shaman. This gives the team more powerful Improved Weapon Totems, further enhancing the melee effectiveness of Windfury Totem and Flametongue Totem possessed by this specialization.

Although the shaman is no longer considered a healer on this team, the damage increase buff provided by its Unleashed Rage spell will still be activated with each critical hit, so you can consider it as a secondary healer.

For both DPS characters, I still recommend Warriors; they’re unlikely to disappoint. If you’re looking to rack up some WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Gold and get loot faster in dungeons, consider swapping in a Rogue. Their sap and blind spells provide excellent crowd control and a variety of stun skills for the whole team.

3. Healer + Feral Druids + Tank + DPSx2 (One for Hunter or Paladin)

Of course, many players will enjoy seeing low- to mid-level enemies struggle under the constant barrage of control skills that their team can unleash in the early stages of the game. In such cases, this team setup becomes an excellent choice.

It combines the high strength of Feral Druids with the powerful control abilities of Hunter, allowing you to easily take control of the battle, especially with Freezing Trap Spell. If your hunter focuses on ranged attacks, even better: Trueshot Aura Talent can be activated, doubling the single-target damage of that specialization.

You can also switch Hunter to Paladin, whose Blessing of Might amplifies the damage output of this DPS class to the extreme. Furthermore, Blessing of Protection in this class provides a shield to all members, which can temporarily act as a raid healing spell.

In extremely dire combat situations, this class can use Divine Intervention to sacrifice itself in exchange for providing the healer with up to 3 minutes of protection. The remaining DPS can be selected according to the dungeon your team is going to enter, such as specializing in a particular damage type or a spell specialization that can be used as supplementary damage.

The above is a recommended team setup for easily exploring dungeons in WoW TBC Classic Anniversary expansion. Of course, these setups may change with pre-patch and official game releases, but the core principles remain the same: one tank, one healer, and three DPS; the rest can be customized. Have fun playing!

A new week has arrived, although Week 11 Trials reset a couple of days ago. However, I know that as an experienced ARC Raiders player, you'd probably wait a day or two to start to avoid encountering those strong opponents.

Now is almost the perfect time to log in and show off your skills in Week 11 Trials; any later and it might be too late. This week's trials are a bit tough, but don't worry, I'll be there to help.

Below, I'll detail the challenges of Week 11 Trials and teach you how to achieve a three-star rating.

Damage Snitches

• Mission Objective: Destroy at least 7 Snitches on the map
• Recommended Map: Spaceport

The first trial this week is Damage Snitches. It's best to complete it during a special map mod that provides double XP, allowing you to get a three-star rating by destroying only about seven Snitches.

You can go to the top of Departure or Arrival buildings on the west side of Spaceport map. These high ground positions offer excellent visibility, allowing you to spot informants from a distance and minimize your own exposure, making it easier to eliminate Snitches in a safe environment.

For this trial, you'll need to bring high-damage ranged weapons such as Renegade, Anvil, or Ferro. This will allow you to eliminate Snitches before they call for reinforcements. Focus on attacking their weak points, indicated by the white panels; destroying just two will cause them to fall.

Also, just in case, you can bring some Lure Grenade, which will not only prevent Snitches from calling for reinforcements but also distract other enemies.

Throw Snowballs at Bastions

• Mission Objective: Throw at least 20 snowballs at Bastions
• Recommended Map: The Blue Gate

Yes, it's snowball throwing again! Many players struggled with this last week, but don't worry, this week's challenge is much easier than Week 10, as Bastions are easier to hit with snowballs.

During Cold Snap, you'll need to find snowdrifts with branches on the map and collect around 25-30 snowballs to prepare. While you only need to hit about 20, having extra is always good.

It's recommended to complete this challenge on The Blue Gate map, as the underground Traffic Tunnel there frequently spawns Bastions, and it also protects you from frostbite.

You can start by attacking Bastions, aiming at their yellow joints to disable their legs and stun them. This is the perfect time to throw snowballs. Alternatively, you can find tall buildings for cover and occasionally peek out to throw snowballs at it, being careful not to be tracked by Bastions.

Damage Bastions

• Mission Objective: Completely destroy a Bastion at full health
• Recommended Maps: The Blue Gate or Buried City

This challenge is related to the previous one, so you can combine the two to complete. To get a three-star rating in this challenge, you need to destroy a Bastion at full health without taking heavy damage yourself. To check if a Bastion is at full health, look for damage or black smoke; a newly spawned Bastion is ideal.

Locations where you can quickly find Bastions:

• The Blue Gate: Traffic Tunnel;
• Buried City: Plaza Rosa, Marano Park;
• Spaceport: Outside the bunker in the southwest.

You can use Deadline Mine in combination with a Lure Grenade to kill it. First, throw a grenade behind Bastions to lure it around, then quickly place Deadline Mine on it and find cover to leave quickly. The explosion will instantly destroy it.

If you don't have mines, you can also use heavy weapons, like Anvil or Renegade I mentioned earlier. Bastions' weak point is the yellow core on its back. You can focus your attacks on its legs to stun it, allowing you to reach the core.

Search Supply Drops

• Mission Objective: Search for three different Supply Drops on the battlefield
• Recommended Map: Buried City

This is probably the hardest challenge of the week. It seems like you only need to search a few Supply Drops, but you have to fire a flare through Supply Station to call it in. This not only reveals your location and attracts other looters, but Supply Drops also take some time to land.

Buried City is the best map for this challenge because its enclosed terrain makes it easy for players to reach different supply drop points. While tracking Supply Drops, pay attention to the yellow flares in the sky; they will mark the drop locations for you.

You can also search for Supply Drops called by other players, because even if you weren't the first to call, collecting the dropped crates will still advance your trial. With enough patience, you can complete the mission quickly.

Harvest Plants

• Mission Objective: Collect 14 plants
• Recommended Maps: Spaceport, Dam Battlegrounds, or Buried City

This trial challenge is probably the easiest this week. You need to collect 14 plants during events that grant double XP. However, note that not all plant types count towards your progress. You only need to collect the following:

• Great Mullein
• Mushrooms
• Agave
• Moss

You can go to areas with high plant density to complete the mission quickly:

• Spaceport: The creek in the north of the map;
• Buried City: Galleria, Marano Park;
• Dam Battlegrounds: The western swamp and forest near Hydroponic Dome Complex.

You can speed up your mission completion by combining searches across multiple areas on the map.

With these tips and strategies, you should be able to successfully complete Week 11 Trials and earn generous rewards. Get ready, familiarize yourself with all the map environments, and good luck with your trials!

Some of the challenges in Week 11 Trials are quite difficult and require a high gear level. If you haven't acquired sufficiently powerful gear in the new Expedition, you can buy reliable ARC Raiders items in EZG to help you complete this week's trials smoothly.

As one of Huntress's Ascendancy Classes in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0, Amazon, as a master of life and power, is capable of dealing high critical strike damage.

Furthermore, with the enhancements to Unique items in Patch 0.4.0, Cold Bow Amazon build has become one of the most powerful endgame builds for Huntress class. This build utilizes the powerful synergy between frost and physical damage, maximizing damage output through freezing and critical strikes.

In the latest patch, it can easily one-shot high-level bosses and achieve over 50 million DPS with Snipe ability. This build is definitely a great choice for players looking to challenge the endgame content.

Below, I will introduce you to the detailed information about Cold Bow Amazon build. If you are also a player aspiring to a powerful endgame build, then you definitely can't miss this guide.

Core Mechanics

The core skill of Cold Bow Amazon build is Snipe, which unleashes a powerful arrow that explodes upon impact, dealing critical damage. Combined with Ice Shot and Kadira's Gambit, it allows for wide-area clearing of enemies, enabling rapid map clearing.

Finally, utilizing Evasion, an energy shield, and Amazon's lifesteal mechanics grants exceptional mobility and survivability, allowing for sustained damage output on the battlefield.

Main Gear

This build already performed well in patch 0.3, but it struggled against endgame and high-level bosses. However, PoE 2 patch 0.4.0, with its enhancements to certain gear and skills and adjustments to some gear, allows Cold Bow Amazon build to reach its optimal performance.

1. Gloves

The most significant upgrade to this build is replacing the previous Essentia Sanguis Furtive Wraps gloves with Sine Aequo Grand Manchettes. This allows for faster enemy freezing, significantly improving the freezing mechanism. Only 50% freeze value is needed to freeze an enemy, instead of the previous 100%.

It also increases the damage taken by immobilized enemies by 20%, further boosting your damage output. Therefore, you only need two to three freeze attacks to freeze almost all bosses, greatly improving team combat efficiency.

2. Rings

For rings, you should prioritize those that increase physical and frost damage bonuses to optimize the damage output of Snipe and Ice Shot.

Mystic Harvest, as one of Amazon's key skills, aims to achieve Life Leech effect. It allows both physical and elemental damage to participate in Life Leech, ensuring high survivability during map exploration and boss battles.

Therefore, we also need to ensure that one ring provides Life Leech buff, allowing us to maintain our health during high-damage battles.

3. Quiver

While Cadiro's Gambit Primed Quiver is excellent for clearing maps, Visceral Quiver is the best choice for high-level bosses, increasing our attack critical strike chance by 20%-30%.

You can also consume PoE 2 currency to roll suitable gear affixes for Visceral Quiver, such as those that increase projectile speed, Snipe and Ice Shot damage, and physical or frost damage. This will significantly improve your Snipe output and ensure that Ice Shot stacks are maximized.

4. Bow

Obliterator Bow is one of the best choices for this build, providing high physical damage, good base hit rating, and higher critical strike chance.

You can choose to equip affixes that increase hit rating, physical damage, and attack speed to maximize our damage output.

Besides the above, you can freely choose the remaining shoes or armor, etc., to match according to your preferred build effects. You can choose some that increase movement speed or defensive attributes.

Gems

Since we've mentioned that the core of this build revolves around Snipe and Ice Shot, our skill gems will primarily be socketed for these two skills. Additionally, you can pair them with Freezing Salvo to increase your attack range.

Next, we'll need to equip these skills with suitable Supports gems to optimize their effectiveness.

Ice Shot

First, Ice Shot. Its Supports Gems include the following:

• Elemental Armament II
• Nova Projectiles I
• Stoicism II
• Ice Bite II
• Deliberation

Make sure you use Nova Projectiles I, as many players have found their skill cooldowns increased after using Nova Projectiles II.

Snipe

Next is Snipe. To increase critical hit rate and critical hit damage, we need to socket the following Support Gems:

• Inexorable Critical I
• Window of Opportunity II
• Concentrated Area
• Close Combat II
• Blindside

Once fully equipped, it not only delivers very consistent critical hits and damage but also achieves nearly 100% critical hit rate.

Freezing Salvo

Freezing Salvo converts physical damage into frost damage and also expands the damage area to enhance the freezing effect. It requires the following Support Gems:

• Freeze
• Concentrated Area
• Ice Bite II
• Elemental Armament II
• Close Combat II

These are all to increase our frost damage.

Passive Tree

Finally, here's the passive skill tree for our Cold Bow Amazon build. You can unlock these node attributes:

• Critical Strike: Maximize critical strike chance and critical strike damage;
• Frozen: Unlock nodes that enhance freezing and frost effects, increasing damage and control;
• Dodge and Energy Shield: Enhance survivability while absorbing damage with sufficient energy shields;
• Movement Speed: Utilize speed boosts to gain an advantage in clearing maps and combat.

This concludes the main information about Cold Bow Amazon build in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0. If you want to perform exceptionally well in endgame, give this build a try.

Since its release, ARC Raiders has been very popular with players, especially after the recent Cold Snap update, with many players enjoying the challenging gameplay in the snowy maps. Although it contains many high-risk, but also high-value rewards.

Have you started participating in these battles yet? If not, here’s a reminder: be sure to prepare items that provide high damage and high defense, such as enhanced weapons, which will give you a huge advantage in every battle you encounter.

Of course, crafting or acquiring these high-level weapons requires you to have the exclusive Augment Blueprints, which are scattered throughout the game world and require careful searching. Otherwise, you may very well miss out on it and the best opportunity to improve your role.

Therefore, this guide will introduce the detailed functions and specific locations of each Augment Blueprint in the current ARC Raiders, as well as some acquisition strategies. Trust me, this will definitely help you achieve twice the results with half the effort!

Categories

Currently, there are 5 types of Augment Blueprints in ARC Raiders, all of which are epic-level items in the game. Although their names all end with Mk. 3, each blueprint has a completely different effect. Their specific names and functions are:

Combat Mk. 3 (Flanking)

Combat Mk. 3 (Flanking) is a combat augment that focuses on mobility rather than damage absorption. Its effect is to increase the equip speed of unequipped or holstered pistols and hand cannons by 33%. It is compatible with light shields, has a weight limit of 60kg, weighs 3kg itself, and costs 5000 ARC Raiders coins.

Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive)

Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor)

Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor) is a heavy-duty carrying aid with high carrying capacity and large backpack space. Its effect is that when downed and remaining still, health can be restored up to 75% of the maximum health at the time of being downed, which can help you a lot in some dangerous combat. It is compatible with light and medium shields, has a weight limit of 80kg, weighs 4kg itself, and costs 5000 Arc Raiders coins.

It is compatible with light and medium shields, has a weight limit of 55kg, weighs 4kg itself, and needs 5000 game coins.

How to Obtain Them?

Like all blueprints in Arc Raiders, the drop rate of Augment Blueprints is completely random, and even the same player may not get it in the same area twice in a row on the same map.

However, through extensive testing by some players, it has been found that these ARC Raiders Items have a higher chance of appearing in certain areas or POIs: namely, Medical areas, which usually appear in the following locations: 

• Dam Battlegrounds: Testing Annex and Research & Administration
• Spaceport: Arrival and Departure
• Stella Montis: Medical, Assembly, Security Wing, and Lobby
• Blue Gate: Reinforced Reception
• Buried City: Hospital and Pharmacy POIs

Strategy

In the locations above, black boxes, cabinets, and blue drawers are your main focus, as they have a very high probability of containing Augment Blueprints. Additionally, exploring these maps during Night Raid, Locked Gate, Electromagnetic Storm, and Cold Snap events will significantly increase your chances of finding these important items.

Alternatively, focus on Reinforced Reception area in Blue Gate, which currently has the highest drop rate for augment and medical item blueprints in the entire game. However, be aware that this area has become a highly contested zone; be mindful of other real players who are also on important scavenging missions and try to avoid them.

If you want stronger character combat abilities fast, you can easily buy ARC Raiders items on EZG.com to obtain any high-damage weapon and high-resistance shield. The above details all the categories of Augment Blueprints in ARC Raiders and how to obtain them. Although they are rare, believe me, they are definitely worth the effort to find, as they are crucial for your later game progression.
