Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders

How to Find Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders

To find the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders, you need to target Raider Containers – Weapon Cases, Raider Caches, Ammo Crates, and Grenade Cases – across any map and any map condition. Unlike some of the rarer blueprints in the game, the Il Toro Blueprint sits in the general Raider Container loot pool, which means it’s not locked behind a specific event or condition. The best time to farm for it is during the Uncovered Caches event, which floods the map with extra Raider Caches. Running during a Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm will also boost your chances if Uncovered Caches event is not around. Check our Event Timers to see what’s currently active.

Why You Need the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders

The Il Toro is a pump-action shotgun and one of the most devastating close-range weapons in ARC Raiders. It uses Shotgun Ammo, holds 5 shells, and deals enough damage to drop most Raiders in two to three body shots at point blank. It absolutely dominates in tight spaces like buildings, corridors, and indoor areas – making it a go-to pick on maps like Stella Montis where most fights happen up close.

The main downside is its Weak ARC Armor Penetration, so it won’t do much against heavily armored ARC enemies. You’ll want to pair it with something that can handle PvE. But for PvP and room clearing, the Il Toro is hard to beat. Once you learn the blueprint, you can craft it at Gunsmith Level 1 using just 5x Mechanical Components and 6x Simple Gun Parts – one of the cheapest weapon crafts in the game. It also upgrades through four tiers, all at Gunsmith 1, making it easy to maintain throughout the entire game. Plan your Loadout around it once you have the blueprint.

What Containers Drop the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders?

The Il Toro Blueprint follows the standard weapon blueprint rule – it spawns from Raider Containers. These include Weapon Cases, Raider Caches, Ammo Crates, and Grenade Cases.

You won’t find it in Medical drawers, Residential furniture, or Industrial crates. If you’re specifically farming for this blueprint, skip everything that isn’t a Raider-type container and focus on the spots where these spawn the most. Use our Interactive Maps with the Raider Cache filter enabled to plan your route.

The Il Toro Blueprint can drop during any map condition, but your odds are higher during Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storms since these 2x Major Map Conditions boost rare loot spawn rates across the board.

Best Method: Uncovered Caches Event

The Uncovered Caches event is the single best way to find the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders. This rotating event spawns a large number of additional Raider Caches across the map, and since the Il Toro Blueprint is part of the Raider Container loot pool, it has the highest drop probability during this event. When Uncovered Caches is active, the map is flooded with extra cache spawns – hit as many as you can per run. The Il Toro is an Uncommon-rarity weapon blueprint, so it sits comfortably within the lower-rarity drops that Raider Caches are most likely to produce. Track event rotations with our Event Timers so you don’t miss a window.

Best Locations for the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders

Since the Il Toro Blueprint drops from Raider Containers on any map, you have plenty of options. Here are the most commonly reported spots across each map:

Dam Battlegrounds: The locked room in the Control Tower (you’ll need a Control Tower Key) is a reliable high-value spot. Dam Battlegrounds has Raider Caches spread across the map, but remember these are randomly spawned each raid – use our Interactive Map with the Raider Cache filter to see all possible spawn points and check whichever ones are closest to your spawn.

Blue Gate: Blue Gate Underground (under Reinforced Reception and across on the other side), a breachable room in the Security region, and raider ammo boxes, backpacks and Weapon Cases  are all potential spots. Blue Gate has plenty of Raider Containers packed into a relatively compact area underground.

Stella Montis: The Loading Bay is a solid spot for Raider-type containers on Stella Montis. The advantage is that Loading Bay is difficult to navigate between the containers, so Raiders don’t always take the time to find and loot various Backpacks and Ammo crates scattered around. The compact indoor layout means you can clear Raider Containers quickly.

Tips for Farming the Il Toro Blueprint in ARC Raiders

1. Focus on Raider Containers Only: The Il Toro Blueprint drops from Raider Containers – Weapon Cases, Raider Caches, Ammo Crates, and Grenade Cases. Don’t waste time opening Medical drawers, Residential furniture, or Industrial boxes if you’re specifically hunting for this blueprint.

2. Farm During Uncovered Caches: This event floods the map with extra Raider Caches, giving you more rolls per run than any other condition. If Uncovered Caches is active, prioritize it over everything else for the Il Toro Blueprint.

3. Check Locked Rooms: Locked rooms with key requirements (Control Tower on Dam, warehouse on Spaceport) have boosted loot tables. Bringing the right key gives you extra chances at the blueprint each run.

4. Safe Pocket Immediately: The moment you find the Il Toro Blueprint, put it in your Safe Pocket. Even though it’s not the rarest blueprint in the game, losing one to a PvP death still stings. Once it’s in the Safe Pocket, you can surrender and it comes home with you.

5. Buy the Weapon While You Farm: If you need an Il Toro for a run right now but haven’t found the blueprint yet, just buy one from Tian Wen for 15,000 Coins. You can use the vendor weapon while continuing to farm for the blueprint in the background. Once you have the blueprint, crafting is much cheaper at just 5x Mechanical Components and 6x Simple Gun Parts.
