What is the Burletta?
The Burletta is a semi-automatic pistol that uses Light Ammo. It falls into the uncommon category of weapons. Its main appeal is that it has solid accuracy and damage output for a sidearm, without being overly complex to use.
Key stats you need to know in practice:
Damage: 10
Fire rate: 28
Range: 41.7
Stability: 74.5
Agility: 84.4
Stealth: 24
Magazine size: 12
In short, it's not a long-range powerhouse, nor is it stealthy, but it hits reliably, reloads quickly once upgraded, and is lightweight (4.0 units). Many players favor it for mid-game missions where a balance of accuracy and agility matters.
Where Can You Get the Burletta Blueprint?
The blueprint for the Burletta is essential if you want to craft one yourself. There are a few ways to get it:
Scavenging – Random loot drops in missions can occasionally include the blueprint.
Crafting Rewards – Completing the Industrial Espionage quest grants the Burletta blueprint.
Vendors – Certain merchants, like Tian Wen, occasionally sell it.
A practical tip: if you're in a group, coordinate scavenging runs for missions where uncommon weapon blueprints drop, because these are often shared among teammates. Also, some players choose to trade blueprints, which is where the keyword comes in: if you are trying to make coins, you can check where arc raiders blueprints sell (https://www.u4n.com/arc-raiders/items) to other players for profit.
How Do You Craft the Burletta?
Once you have the blueprint, crafting is straightforward, but it's worth understanding the process so you don't waste materials.
Ingredients for Burletta I (base version):
3 × Mechanical Components
3 × Simple Gun Parts
Requirements:
Gunsmith level 1
Burletta Blueprint
Result: Burletta I
In practice, most players gather mechanical components from salvaging old weapons or completing missions with tech-related objectives. Simple Gun Parts often come from crafting or recycling other pistols.
Tip: Always check your storage before crafting. You might already have enough components from previous runs, and this saves unnecessary scavenging.
How Do Upgrades Work?
The Burletta can be upgraded from I to IV. Each upgrade reduces reload time and increases durability, making the weapon feel smoother and more reliable in the field.
Upgrade summary:
Burletta II:
Ingredients: Burletta I + 3 Mechanical Components + 1 Simple Gun Part
Perks: 16.6% reduced reload time, +10 durability
Burletta III:
Ingredients: Burletta II + 3 Mechanical Components + 1 Simple Gun Part
Perks: 33.3% reduced reload time, +20 durability
Burletta IV:
Ingredients: Burletta III + 4 Mechanical Components + 1 Simple Gun Part
Perks: 50% reduced reload time, +30 durability
Practical advice: Most players stop at Burletta III unless they need maximum efficiency. Upgrading to IV is material-heavy, so weigh the benefit against other weapons you might be upgrading. Also, upgrade only after you're confident in your blueprint supply, because you cannot craft higher levels without the earlier version.
Repairing the Burletta
Like any weapon, durability drops with use. Repairing is cheaper and often more efficient than recycling. Here's a quick reference:
Version Repair Cost Durability Restored
Burletta I 1 × Mechanical Components + 2 × Simple Gun Parts +50
Burletta II 2 × Mechanical Components + 2 × Simple Gun Parts +55
Burletta III 3 × Mechanical Components + 3 × Simple Gun Parts +60
Burletta IV 4 × Mechanical Components + 4 × Simple Gun Parts +65
Tip: Players often repair Burletta II between missions to avoid wasting higher-tier components on the base version. In practice, this saves resources while keeping your sidearm combat-ready.
Recycling & Salvaging
If you end up with extra Burletta pistols, recycling or salvaging is the way to reclaim components.
Recycling results:
Burletta I → 1 Mechanical Component + 2 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta II → 2 Mechanical Components + 2 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta III → 3 Mechanical Components + 3 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta IV → 4 Mechanical Components + 4 Simple Gun Parts
Salvaging results:
Burletta I → 2 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta II → 2 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta III → 3 Simple Gun Parts
Burletta IV → 3 Simple Gun Parts
Player behavior note: Salvaging is faster and uses fewer materials, but recycling gives more components, which is better if you plan to craft multiple Burlettas. I usually salvage older weapons I don't use and recycle duplicates I can't equip.
How to Decide Between Crafting, Upgrading, and Buying
Crafting: Best if you have the blueprint and spare components. This is the most cost-efficient way in terms of materials.
Upgrading: Prioritize upgrades if you rely on the Burletta regularly. Reduced reload time really improves combat flow.
Buying: Some players prefer buying from vendors like Tian Wen if they lack time or components. Prices vary, so check weekly offers.
Tip: Track where arc raiders blueprints sell in your region or server. Trading blueprints can sometimes be faster than farming components, especially for uncommon weapons like the Burletta.
Final Thoughts from Experience
The Burletta is not a top-tier pistol, but it's consistent and easy to use.
It's lightweight, so it's convenient for mid-game runs where agility matters.
Upgrading is where the weapon really shines; even one or two tiers make reloads much faster.
Always plan your component use. Many players over-craft or upgrade too quickly and end up short on materials for other weapons.
If you approach the Burletta with a practical plan—get the blueprint, craft carefully, upgrade gradually, and repair or recycle intelligently—it becomes a reliable tool in your arsenal without wasting resources.
