Discover the locations of all Blueprints in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, including Dispatch Missions, Side Ops, and free roam finds. Unlock new gear!

Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on all the Blueprints in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, huh? Smart move! These aren't just random collectibles; they're super important for developing some of the coolest weapons and are also key to snagging that **Collector trophy/achievement**. Don't worry, I'll walk you through where to find every single one.

There are three main ways you'll be hunting these down: completing specific Dispatch Missions, tackling certain Side Ops, and good old-fashioned free roaming. We've got 9 from Dispatch Missions, 6 from Side Ops, and the rest you'll find scattered across Afghanistan and Africa. If you're ever stuck, remember you can always interrogate soldiers to get a hint about their locations – they usually spill the beans if you catch 'em!
