All Blueprint locations in StarRupture and how to get them

Blueprints will often define success in StarRupture, and they’re spread all around the world of Arcadia-7.

Unlike recipes, blueprints aren’t unlocked via menus and terminals. Instead, you have to obtain them as part of loot from the open areas of the map. While there’s an element of randomness behind the entire method, there are specific locations to hit—and we’ve got them covered for you below. Since StarRupture is in early access, the information in this guide could change as early as the next major update.

All Blueprint locations in StarRupture

Before I dive deep into the locations, always look out for Ruptures. These are timed events that can take place across Arcadia-7—looting right after a Rupture is perfect if you’re looking to loot without much headache.

Here are some fantastic spots to search on the map if you’re looking for blueprints.

Grey Owl Outpost

The Grey Owl Outpost is pretty near your Orbital Lander (all locations marked on the image above). To reach the location, go straight, and then go to the north-western part of the map. Alternatively, just use the image’s marked location to reach the point.

This outpost is not only great for finding blueprints, but you can also find plenty of Warbonds that are useful for unlocking weapon attachments and applying upgrades.

Warm Dawn Outpost

This outpost is also close to the Orbital Lander, but you have to head east. Once you reach the spot marked on the image above, you’ll find the remains of some tall buildings. To get the loot (which includes blueprints), climb on top of the buildings and keep looking into every corner.

Strawberry Outpost

This location is southeast of the Orbital Lander, near a Titanium deposit. You can find plenty of valuable loot and blueprints from this location.

Giant Engine

Yes, the gigantic engine in the middle of the map is one of the best places to loot. However, you should only venture here with the proper equipment, as there are dangerous bugs. You can save this spot for mid and endgame activities.

You can also find blueprints from high-tier loot areas like Satellites and abandoned facilities. Some enemies can also drop them, but it’s completely random.

The first major Fortnite update for the new year is coming soon in the form of v39.20, and there’s plenty of new content in store.

Earlier this year, Epic Games revealed the annual update roadmap for Fortnite. Hence, we have known the release date since, but this countdown will help you stay in touch with the upcoming update.

Fortnite v39.20 update countdown

The Fortnite v39.20 update goes live globally on Friday, Jan. 9, across all platforms. There’s little chance for a delay, and the following countdown will expire once the update goes live.

[hurrytimer id=”1162657″]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 1am PT
• 3am CT
• 4am ET
• 9am UTC
• 10am CET

This is the usual schedule that Epic has been following for all major updates in the last few months. However, it’s worth noting that the time when the servers go live will differ across regions. There will be a prior maintenance as well, when Fortnite and all its modes will be completely unavailable.

What to expect from Fortnite v39.20 update

The first update of the new year is themed around South Park, and here are a few highlights to look out for.

• South Park themed skins
• South Park Mini Battle Pass
• OG Chapter 1 Season 7 Super Styles
• Chapter 1 Battle Pass Super Styles
• Blitz mode and map update
• Reload update
• Reload loot pool update
• Plenty of new cosmetics
• New jam tracks
• New emotes, available in the shop and pass.
• New weapons
• Unvaulted weapons

It will be interesting to find out how the South Park-inspired cosmetics appear in-game. There will be skins based on all major characters, including Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. The pass will be great for those who are looking to add a bunch of cosmetics to their collection.

I am also expecting certain quests themed around the South Park collab, along with new NPCs that will be on the map. For now, all we have to do is wait for the update to go live on Friday.
