However, the stocks are extremely limited, and it may not be sustainable for long-term use.

This is mainly because this item drops randomly. However, here is a list of some areas where it spawns more frequently, and you can find it:
| Dam Battlegrounds | Control Tower, Power Generation Complex, Ruby Residence, Pale Apartments |
| Buried City | Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Town Hall, and buildings in the New District |

| Blue Gate | Pilgrim’s Peak, Raider’s Refuge, the Ancient Fort, Underground Complex beneath the Warehouse |
| Stella Montis | Medical Research, Assembly Workshop, Business Center, Western Tunnel (Security Lockers) |
You can also look for this blueprint in high loot areas. However, if they are indoor facilities, you should look out for ARC machines such as Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops.
