Venator, a rare semiautomatic pistol, is a good ARC armor penetrater. It is an excellent close-range finisher, and a good backup weapon if your buy arc raiders weapons. To unlock it, you must find and learn the Venator Blueprint. It's located in the game's "rare" loot tier and can take quite a while to appear if your wandering is unplanned.

 Venator isn't a fixed or guaranteed spawn but there are certain containers and areas that it appears more frequently. They are scattered across Dam Battlegrounds Blue Gate and Buried city, with events such as Harvesters or Security Lockers providing extra chances.

 Venator blueprints are dropped in arc raiders shop

 Venator is included in the pool of rare blueprints. Venator is a rare blueprint that can be obtained from any container type and mission condition.

 After you have extracted the Venator Blueprint from your inventory, you should move it to your safe pocket. This will protect the blueprint even if you are killed before you can extract. You can unlock permanent crafting by learning the blueprint at Sparanza. Venator blueprints are available for sale as credits.

 Dam Battlegrounds Venator locations

 Dam Battlegrounds will be the most effective place for Venator chasing. The map has a lot of weapon caches, raider caches and Security Lockers in a small area. This makes route-based farming possible.

 Dam Battlegrounds weapon caches circuit

 The dam is home to more than twenty weapon crate locations, which can be linked together into a single continuous loop. Venator can be dropped in any of them, but there are a few that stand out.

 Typical runs include the nearby outposts on the road, Control Tower, and swamp caches. If time is available, they may also rotate to Formicai Outpost. Open as many weapon caches and raider caches in a single deployment as possible, then take out blueprints when you find them.

 Dam Battlegrounds has several Security Lockers hidden in the main structure of the dam, generator buildings, outer perimeter and underground Tunnels. These lockers need the Security Breach Perk from the Survive Tree (around Level 36), but also have the highest overall blueprint rate in the entire game. Venator is included.

 Blue Gate Venator locations

 Blue Gate, a popular blueprint farm map, isn't tied to any specific room or container. Venator can appear in the same weapon containers and high-tier containers as you loot already, but results will vary greatly between players.

 Venator is sometimes not found by players who spend hours on Blue Gate, but others have reported finding it around launch towers and spaceports. It's just how the RNG of rare blueprints works.

 Blue Gate weapon crate - Hotspots

 Blue Gate has no "Venator rooms" that are confirmed to be high-spawn. The most effective approach is:

 If possible, try to queue for Blue Gate's night raids.

 Sprint Headhouse- Reinforced reception - near locker clusters, if you are experiencing a security breach.

 Rotate towards the spaceport/launch towers when you spawn on the northeastern side.

 Venator is also available from the corpses of other raiders if they didn't place it in their safe pockets. Since they do not have an inventory slot protected, killing players who are low-gear (or "free loadout") is very rewarding.

 Buried City Venator locations

 Buried city offers the hospital, the farm that is most focused on Venator farming. It is the closest ARC Raiders get to a semi reliable Venator drop locati0n. However, it is still governed entirely by RNG.

 Buried City hospital route

 The hospital is near the Library, in the middle of Buried city. You can find Venator in a locked-up room.
