Finding Apricots in ARC Raiders: Locations & Tips
Some of the items you need to find in ARC Raiders can be downright infuriating to collect, and Apricots are a prime example. You need them to complete Scrappy’s progression path, but getting out of a raid with them can be a nightmare. Here’s everything you need to know about where to find Apricots in ARC Raiders.
Where to Find Apricots in ARC Raiders
As a fruit, Apricots primarily appear in Nature loot zones, usually on the ground around small, white trees. Always check if you can interact with these trees—for some, your character will kick the tree, giving you another chance to collect an Apricot.
**Best Apricot Farm: Marano Park, Buried City**
The best place to find Apricots in ARC Raiders is Marano Park, located in Buried City. Stick to the outskirts along the treeline, and you’ll inevitably encounter several fruit-bearing trees with Apricots ready for collection.
**Alternative Location: Olive Grove, The Blue Gate**
I’ve also found Apricots in the Olive Grove on The Blue Gate. However, this area is a PvP hotspot since you can find Lemons and Olives here as well. It’s also close to a set of high-value loot locations, making encounters with other Raiders much more likely.
**Watch Out for ARC Patrols**
Marano Park isn’t free from danger. Dangerous ARC enemies like Bastions, Leapers, Bombadiers, and wandering Rocketeers patrol beneath the Park’s canopy. The threat from these enemies can be greater than dealing with enemy players, especially if you get noticed by a big ARC.
**Maximize Your Apricot Yield: Lush Blooms Modifier**
For the most efficient Apricot farming, wait until either Marano Park or Olive Grove is under the Lush Blooms modifier. Lush Blooms greatly increases the amount of loot in Nature zones, providing many more opportunities for Apricots, Lemons, and potentially Olives. Be aware: PvP activity is especially high when Lush Blooms is active, as many Raiders want to capitalize on better loot.
**Apricot Collection Tips**
If Apricots are all you’re after, stick to Buried City’s Marano Park and avoid the high PvP areas in Olive Grove. Stay alert and avoid drawing attention from ARC enemies, as getting caught by Rocketeers or other powerful patrols can quickly send you back to Speranza.
Happy hunting, Raiders!
