In Atomic Heart, you won’t find every weapon. Instead, you’ll have to build them yourself by trading materials at the shop kiosk. Blueprints are required to craft new consumables, weapon upgrades, and even new weapons themselves. Blueprints are only found in large crate containers — we’ll call these large treasure chests. These chests are packed with materials, and you’ll always find one in every safe room. Safe rooms are recreation rooms with a store terminal and a save terminal. And they always have a large chest.
Below, we’ll explain where to find these large chests. Blueprints aren’t always found in the same spot — if you miss a blueprint, it can reappear in a later treasure chest. You’re meant to get every blueprint, so if you miss one of the chests below, you’ll eventually get the same blueprint from a later point in the game, usually from an ambient chest that is outside the normal safe room blueprint locations. If you’re missing out on blueprints, go hunting for large chests in the open-world map area. You’ll always get something.
Blueprints are recipes for crafting items, weapons and upgrades. Items can be crafted at the NORA unit located in most safe rooms. You’ll need to trade materials — and some upgrades require specific materials.
