The Uncommon Bantam Revolver arrived with ARC Raiders’ Frozen Trail update, but there’s no single map location or event to target for its blueprint. It can appear in different loot spots, so search containers and weapon cases while keeping the Outpost Research Station in mind as another option.

Where the Bantam Blueprint Can Appear

Unlike some Legendary blueprints, the Bantam’s doesn’t have a confirmed fixed location. It can spawn in random containers and weapon cases, and it isn’t tied to a particular map condition or event. There’s no specific route to repeat, so search broadly rather than relying on one named spot.

The Research Station at the Outpost offers another way to learn blueprints if you have enough Research Points. Most blueprints can be unlocked there, giving you an alternative to relying on a lucky raid find.

Crafting the Bantam

Once you have the blueprint, craft the revolver at a Tier 1 Gunsmith with 4 Mechanical Parts and 4 Simple Gun Parts. The Bantam uses Heavy Ammo.

The Uncommon revolver gives early-game players a hand cannon option similar to the Anvil, which is now Rare. It favors close engagements, with hip-fire that can threaten other Raiders, but it may be less dependable against higher-tier ARC.
