Blueprints let you craft gear at your Ranch. To get a blueprint, you need to open a tube — and now, after the rework, the system has become more fair, clear, and useful.

What are tubes?

Tubes contain crafting blueprints. Each tube has a tier (T1–T7) and a rarity (Uncommon, Rare, Epic). When you open a tube:

  • You get one new blueprint (no duplicates).

  • You can only open a tube if there are still blueprints to unlock from it.

  • A tooltip shows how many blueprints are left to unlock.

What do I do with blueprints?

  • Once unlocked, a blueprint lets you craft a specific item at your Ranch.

  • The effective upgrade cap is level 5 — higher levels provide less benefits.

  • Upgrades cost silver or gold, depending on the rarity.

Where do I get tubes?

Tubes are found by completing activities:

  • Bounty Hunts – Uncommon tubes

  • Bandit Camps – Rare tubes

  • Story quests or McCoy – Epic tubes

Each tube matches the tier of the region where it dropped.

Can I trade or exchange tubes?

Yes! If you get extra tubes, you can trade them at Karmak’s shop for gold.

Want to progress faster?

Complete Bounty Hunts to collect tubes, open them, and upgrade your gear to handle tougher areas. The better your gear, the easier it becomes to earn more rare blueprints in bandit camps.
