Defense Blueprints

How to Find Blueprints in Bake or Die
Blueprints do not appear in any shop — every blueprint must be discovered through exploration or earned from a boss kill. There are three primary sources:
Rescue trapped NPCs
Where: Dilapidated houses scattered across the map
Each rescued NPC unlocks a craftable item blueprint
Boss drops
Where: Mad Scientist (Lab), Sewer Boss (Sewer)
End-game / rare item blueprints
Loot chests
Where: Houses and zone-specific stashes
Mix of blueprints, nuggets, materials
Blueprint availability was verified against Pro Game Guides, Games.GG, and AllThings.how as of 2026-05-02. Check the update log for changes introduced in recent patches.
