How to Obtain the Crash Mat Blueprint in ARC Raiders: Locations & Crafting Guide

What Is the Crash Mat in ARC Raiders?

The Crash Mat is a unique consumable introduced in ARC Raiders as part of the Riven Tides update. Obtaining its blueprint allows you to craft the item, which nullifies a significant amount of fall damage when landed on.

ARC Raiders Crash Mat Blueprint Locations

Unlike fixed blueprint locations, the Crash Mat blueprint can spawn randomly on any map. Many players have found success on the Riven Tides map since the update. Here are the most reliable spots to check:

Beach Near Hotel Panorama Azzurro

One player located the blueprint inside a random container on the beach near Hotel Panorama Azzurro. The container was ordinary, and the player spawned early on the map. If the container isn’t there, try searching the hotel’s rooms, which often contain trinkets, including miniature ships.

Using the Dockmaster’s Detector During Beachcombing

During the Beachcombing minor map condition, use the Dockmaster’s Detector to reveal hidden containers. These containers may also contain the Crash Mat blueprint. While Beachcombing increases your chances, it isn’t required to find the blueprint.

How to Craft the Crash Mat in ARC Raiders

Once you have the blueprint, gather the following materials to craft the Crash Mat:

• 1x Electrical Components – Can be crafted from raw materials or found as random loot.
• 1x Durable Cloth – Crafted from basic cloth.

You’ll also need access to a Tier 2 Utility Workbench to craft the item.

How to Use the Crash Mat

To deploy the Crash Mat, aim at the ground and throw it. It creates an airbag on the ground. When you land on it, it absorbs all fall damage, making it invaluable for high-risk drops or escapes. Use it strategically to turn dangerous situations into safe landings.
