Blueprint Hunting FAQ

These are some frequently asked questions about hunting blueprints. The information here is not coming directly from developers, but mainly from other players based on their own in-game experience hunting blueprints. Hence, some of the answers on this page might be wrong. The best way to know better is to go hunt blueprints yourself and gather your own data. That said,

Note: It is important to most players to maintain some mysteries in this game, so do not expect developers to divulge much info at all about blueprint mechanics. Nor should such spoilers be found on this wiki.

Is Luck a factor when hunting blueprints?
Opinions vary, but many players believe Luck might be a factor that affects how often blueprints are found in lockers. Luck is more widely believed to be a factor for finding Fuel Cell Controllers though, which are often found during blueprint hunting. There are, however, some players who might claim they have just as much success finding blueprints with Luck 1 characters.

Is Perception important when hunting blueprints?

Opinions vary, but most players do not believe that blueprints are found any more or less often based on a character's Perception. However, having a high PE is important anyway since many lockers are surrounded by traps, and traps do not appear to the player until the character gets close enough based on Perception. With PE 1, for example, you won't see traps even from 1 hex, so you're more likely to die with low PE.
