Although you can craft anything remotely, you will need to go over to Belfry to equip the item. There is a workbench available in Belfry that allows you to craft anything over there directly.

What Are Blueprints?

Gotham Knights Blueprints

To craft anything in the game, you will need to have its Blueprint. The Blueprint could be considered a design or an outline of anything you would want to craft. Thus, it is necessary to own it before the craftable item appears on the menu.

To distinguish different types of Blueprints, the game designs its inner icons according to craftable items;

  • Shield icon for the suit.
  • A reticle-like crosshair for the ranged weapon.
  • A clenched fist representing melee Blueprints.

Furthermore, Blueprints in this game are sorted by their rarity, and that rarity is represented by suitable colors;

  • White Blueprint is a Common one.
  • Green is for the Uncommon.
  • Blue is for Rare.
  • Orange for Heroic.
  • Purple represents Epic.
  • Yellow represents Legendary Blueprints.

You can find Blueprints in the game by; progressing through the story campaign while patrolling in the night and beating down criminals, completing side stories in addition to completing the game challenges. Furthermore, you can also find Blueprints looting the chests in different areas of Gotham City. Scan the environment using your AR Scanner to mark any chests within your area. It will get marked in a purple color. These are commonly found during Premeditated Crimes or inside Owl Nests.

The quality and drop rate of the Blueprints also depend on the type of enemies you take on. For example, Mini-bosses have a higher chance of dropping quality loot than common enemies.
