Here is how you can get the Aphelion Blueprint in Arc Raiders. But, you will need some mighty firepower to earn it and craft it for yourself.
AdvertisementYou have a high chance to obtain the Aphelion blueprint from the Matriach after killing it. However, you can also obtain it elsewhere if you are lucky. To craft the weapon, you will need Matriarch Reactors, which require you to defeat the Matriarch when it is available on one of the maps in the game.
Originally, the blueprint was not dropping at all in the game, but it seems like whatever issue was causing this has now been fixed and you can start earning the rare rifle right now. Be sure to bring firepower and a lot of Raider support when taking on the Matriarch however, as it is a lot more challenging than the Queen.
