The Rascal is the new grenade launcher that offers tons of area damage and fast pump-action reload speed. With high Arc Penetration but low accuracy, the Rascal is a singular weapon that presents itself as a cheaper alternative to the Hullcracker. Getting this weapon requires players to unlock it using a blueprint (or finding one, if they're lucky enough). Learn where to get the Rascal Blueprint and the best places to farm it with this guide.

How To Farm Rascal Blueprint in ARC Raiders

To get the Rascal Blueprint in ARC Raiders, players need to enter any of the maps under the Hurricane map conditions. Players should farm the First Wave Caches exposed during Hurricane. These caches have a chance to drop the Rascal Blueprint and, in some cases, even the weapon itself.

The other way to get the Rascal Blueprint is to dive into Riven Tides on Night Raids, and visit the Stacking Yard to complete its puzzle. This will open the path to two separate loot rooms (one on top of the crane, the other on the small security bunker below it) which can contain the Rascal Blueprint.

ARC Raiders: How to Get Vulcano Blueprint

Vulcano is one of the best shotguns in ARC Raiders, and here are some of the best locations you can try and farm for its blueprint.

To craft the Rascal, players will need 2 Advanced Mechanical Components, 5 Canisters, and 3 Heavy Gun Parts, and players need to have their Gunsmith stations at least at level 2 to create it.

The Rascal has low accuracy, a high projectile fall-off, but decent damage. The damage is closer to the Hullcracker, but its performance is a bit below what could be expected of this grenade launcher.

It is useful to carry around as a lightweight version of the strongest anti-ARC weapon in the game, so it's great for mobility-focused builds. It uses the same ammo as the Hullcracker (Grenade Rounds), and can load up to one round per rotation.
