Atomic Heart: How to Find All Blueprints

Atomic Heart has two ways to obtain new weapons and modifiers: Finding them in random locations or crafting them by blueprints. The latter is a sustainable way of stuffing the inventory as it grants an unlimited amount of a specific gun or tool as long as there are enough resources. But how should players find the blueprints? This explainer reveals all Atomic Heart blueprint locations to help with that.

All Weapon Blueprints’ Locations

To find all 12 weapon blueprints, loot the chests in Vavilov Complex. Players who’ve already exited the complex still have the chance to get the gun plans. But they must investigate random chests in the open world map for that.

Weapon	Blueprint Location
The Makarov Pistol (MP)	Inside the Seed Bank (Vavilov Complex)
KS-23 (Shotgun)	The first bunker (Vavilov Complex)
Snowball	In the town south of Lesnaya Station
Kalash	North of the Vavilov Complex
Dominator	In Granny Zina’s shelter
Zvezdochka	The first safe room at the Exhibition
Fat Boy	Boat Station decks
Swede	The Maglev Tunnels
Electro	The farmhouse near Lesnaya Station
Fox	The Cable Car station
Pashtet	The safe room behind Algae Workshop Breakroom (Vavilov Complex)
Railgun	Near Testing Ground 8 (Kollective Complex)

The blueprint spawns in Atomic Heart have a specific order. But their locations are randomized. In other words, players are not guaranteed to find the exact blueprint they’re looking for in these locations. But they will eventually unlock all as a part of the main quest line.

All Modifier Blueprints’ Locations

Modifier blueprints let players upgrade weapons or craft ammunition. Like weapon blueprints, the only way to acquire them is by looting chests, and there is no guarantee to get a specific one as the rewards are random.

Here are the best locations to look for modifier blueprints.

Modifier	Blueprint Location
Small Neuromed Capsule	The second safe room (Vavilov Complex)
Shotgun Shells	Behind the second door at the Maglev Station
KS-23 Electromagnetic Barrel	The Terminals Breakroom
KS-23 Extended Magazine	Testing Ground 1
EMP Generator	The safe room at the Seed Bank
MP Ammo	Near the Seed Bank stairs
Fire Cartridge	Near the zipline at the Seed Bank
Medium Neuromod Capsule	The safe room at the Algae Workshop
Dynamo	At the Hot Workshop
Electric Cartridge	At the Hot Workshop
Ice Cartridge	At the Algae Workshop
Adrenaline Canister	The Cold Workshop safe room
Kalash Rounds	The farmhouse near Lesnaya Station
Large Neuromed Capsule	The Boat Station dock (Testing Ground 6)

What to Do with Blueprints in Atomic Hearts?

Use the blueprints to craft weapons, ammo, and modifiers (weapon upgrades). For that, visit any NORA vending machines in the safe rooms and open the crafting menu. But note that each blueprint requires different resources—or ingredients. Players can only build the ones that say “Sufficient Resources.”
