People keep asking why their blueprint stash never grows, and honestly, it's because most runs are built around hope instead of a plan. If you want progress that actually sticks, queue into Stella and wait for a Hurricane raid, then treat the deployment like a shopping trip with a timer. I'll usually sort my loadout first, top off meds, and only then worry about spending ARC Raiders Coins on anything extra, because the storm run itself is where the real value shows up.
In normal weather, Stella can feel stingy. You'll clear a building, get a couple of middling containers, and leave thinking you missed something. During Hurricanes, that vibe flips. Spawns feel "fatter" across the facility, like the game quietly turned up the dial on container density. You'll notice more lockers worth opening, more metal crates tucked into corners, and more little pickups that add up fast. It's not magic, but it's close enough that you'll feel it by the time you hit your second hallway.
Don't do the classic rookie move of beelining for the big objective and calling it looted. Slow down. Clear one structure at a time and be nosy. Check metal containers, lockers, and every supply crate you can reach. The boring office bits matter more than people think, especially in low light. Those desk drawers get skipped all the time, and they're exactly where you'll pull odd premium materials and small collectibles. You'll also end up stacking the everyday stuff you'll need later: wires, mod components, steel springs, tape, plastic parts, the lot.
Your main goal is the breach area, but not just the obvious room everyone fights over. There's a secure back room behind the breach space that's basically a blueprint buffet when the hurricane is active. If your squad can crack it safely, do it every run. Open everything, even the containers that look "standard." That cluster is where I see the best repeat value: weapon mod prints that change fights, not just fill a checklist. Compensator III shows up often enough to feel farmable, Silencer III turns messy rotates into clean exits, and Extended Medium Mag III pops more here than anywhere I've personally tested.
Once your bags are heavy, don't get greedy. Pick a clean extraction route, avoid unnecessary machine aggro, and let the storm chaos cover your movement. If you score support blueprints like the Defibrillator, protect them like they're the only thing that matters, because in a real team run, they kind of are. And if you're the type who likes tightening up progression between raids—restocking, grabbing currency, or sorting out gear without wasting a night—sites like RSVSR can help you stay ready so you can spend your time on hurricane deployments instead of scraping together basics.
