I’m wondering if I really need to obtain the Alien Blaster plans in order to get all the upgrades and customization options. Can I just scrap enough Alien Blasters to get the benefits, or will I miss out on anything if I don’t have the plans? Specifically, can I fully customize the Alien Blaster without owning the plans?

The plans are tradeable, but they mainly drop during the Alien Invasion event. That event only pops up occasionally, like we recently had it for a day during some April Fools seasonal events, so getting those plans can take some patience if you miss the event.
Also, some players say that one of the Alien Blaster plans can be found year-round in one of the TNT Domes, but you’ll need to complete an unmarked quest to get the key first. So if you want to avoid waiting for the event, that might be another way to hunt for the plans.
From what I’ve seen, you actually need the Alien Blaster plans to craft or fully customize the weapon yourself. Scrapping Alien Blasters doesn’t teach you the plans or unlock all the mods. Instead, the plans are something you have to find or get from someone who already owns them.
Yep, and once you’ve modded an Alien Blaster, even if it’s a non-legendary, it won’t drop for other players to loot.
Thanks for clarifying!
