Blueprints
Manufacturing plans for a weapon, drug or armor. All blueprints look the same, mousing over them will display what they are for.
Obtaining Blueprints
- You can occasionally find Footlockers in random encounters on city ruins terrain, some of which can be trapped. Opening these usually requires a high lockpick skill and may contain items ranging from a worthless Junk to blueprints. Some of them are more difficult to pick open than others.
- There are quests that may give blueprints as reward for your efforts.
- Trade with other players.
- Blueprints can now be purchased from certain NPC merchants via dialogue.

Blueprints are required to craft most higher-tier equipment. Consuming them will permanently add those items to your fix-boy, provided you have the second level of the required professions. A blueprint is a single use item and will disappear after use.
