The Compensator Blueprint in ARC Raiders lets you craft a weapon mod that improves gun handling and increases its effectiveness. These firearm modifications are utilized in loadouts with high-level weapons to increase a Raider's lethality. This particular mod blueprint does not drop as a guaranteed reward from a quest. Instead, players must actively farm high-value loot areas when scavenging items during their missions.
This article sheds light on how players can acquire the Compensator Blueprint in ARC Raiders.
Locating the Compensator Blueprint in ARC Raiders
The compensator blueprint is obtained as a random drop from high-value loot areas. These areas are usually marked with Yellow and Red outlines, which denote medium and high-value loot, respectively. Such areas are sometimes locked behind doors that require certain keys for access.

After dropping on a map, head for the marked areas to have a higher chance of obtaining blueprints. That said, extracting with the loot still in your backpack is important to finally access its recipe in Speranza. To ensure safe extractions, you may also rely on Raider Hatch Keys.
