   • The event typically runs for about two weeks.
   • Complete the event as many times as possible to increase your chances.
2. Focus on event rewards:
   • The Alien Blaster plan has a drop rate of 2.94% from the event.
   • The plan is tradeable and continues dropping even after you've learned it.
3. Check player vendors:
   • Some players may sell the Alien Blaster plan or the weapon itself.
   • Server hop to check different player CAMPs and their vending machines.
4. Trade with other players:
   • Use trading forums or in-game chat to find players willing to trade or sell the Alien Blaster.
5. Learn the plan and craft it:
   • Once you obtain the plan, learn it and craft the weapon at a weapons workbench.
   • You'll need the appropriate perks and materials to craft it.
6. Farm legendary enemies:
