[ARC Raiders]Complete guide to where to get lemon & apricot! Efficiency farm guide for maximizing scrappie[with detailed routes and precautions for all maps]

ARC Raiders is a PvPvE cooperative survival shooter that attracts many players. One of the essential elements of this game is the cute chicken “Scrappy” in the workshop. Empowering Scrappy will greatly increase the amount of crafting materials he receives upon his return, making crafting and upgrading equipment much easier. Lemon and apricot are indispensable training materials for scrappie, especially from the beginning to the middle. These fruits are randomly generated in the field, so if you don't find them, your enhancement will stall.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain all the locations where you can get lemons and apricots, map by map. It covers step-by-step routes that even beginners can collect without hesitation, how to use the tree-shaking gimmick, tips for avoiding enemies, and precautions for PVP-prone areas. In addition, we have added the entire process of strengthening Scrappy and tips for obtaining other materials. If you practice fast farming with free loadouts, you can easily get what you need in a single match. Let's raise Scrappy to the maximum level of 5 and aim for a material flood state!

Overall picture and benefits of strengthening scrappie

Scrappy is a pet chicken that can be trained (upgraded) in the workshop. As you upgrade, the resources (metals, parts, rare materials, etc.) you can obtain from the reward box upon successful escape will be doubled. It can be upgraded up to level 5, and will become a reliable companion that will completely change your difficult crafting life in the early stages.

List of required materials by reinforcement level

Scrappy training has 5 stages. Materials specified at each stage will be taken back to the workshop for use. Lemons and apricots are mainly needed from Lv2 to Lv3, but a large amount of apricots are also required in the later stages from Lv4 to Lv5. All materials are summarized below.

• Lv5: Maximum reward amount (more than twice the normal amount). This allows continuous crafting of weapons and armor, making the transition to end content smoother.

We recommend collecting lemons and apricots first and quickly reaching level 3. Next is a detailed farm guide for each material.

How to obtain lemons: Most efficient route for all maps

Lemon is an uncommon item in the natural category, weighs 0.2, stacks 10, and sells for 640 coins. The main uses are Scrappy Lv2 → Lv3 (3 required) and stamina 20 recovery (useful in emergencies). They are randomly generated at the base of thin trees with yellow-green leaves and on the ground around them. The biggest gimmick is “shaking the tree (interact)”, which induces additional drops.

1. Blue Gate: The most efficient olive grove route (recommended level ★★★★★)

Blue Gate is an intermediate map that can be unlocked by escaping 18 times. The area around the “olive grove” icon on the south side is a treasure trove of lemons. In addition to lemons, you can also collect apricots and olives at the same time, making it a great spot to kill three birds with one stone.

step by step:

1. Start at the drop point in the southeast of the map. Head north up the hillside towards the olive grove icon.
2. Instead of going to the center of the field, you will move to a slightly outlying area of ​​dilapidated houses. Thin fruit trees are densely packed (10 or more).
3. Check the base of each tree. If there is a yellow lemon lying around, pick it up immediately.
4. Skip trees that cannot be interacted with. Prioritize trees that can be shaken (one tree will drop 1-2).
5. You can secure 5 or more pieces in 5-10 minutes. Once we gather, we will immediately secure an escape route.

image image: A thin tree with yellow-green leaves that is scattered on the hills. It looks like a yellow lemon glows at the base. The green of the olive grove spreads out in the background.

Note: PVP-prone area. Bombardier (Explosive ARC) may explode. Collect and return quickly with free loading.

2. Buried City: Forest area that can be stably obtained (recommendation level ★★★★)

This is an early map for beginners. The target area is the residential area with trees in the center. You can pick up lemons while searching for housing.

step by step:

1. Go directly to the central residential area. Move around the human-shaped mark area.
2. Find small trees in the forest part, root and shake them.
3. There is a risk of Bastion appearing, so be careful of the sound.
4. You can also get dog collars and pillows at the same time.

Tips: You can obtain multiple items during the basket tour (during the harvest season event). There are multiple lemons in the basket.

3. Spaceport: Northern parking lot route (recommended level ★★★)

Industrial zone map. The key points are the south parking lot and the northern tree area.

step by step:

1. Move from the south parking lot to the tree zone.
2. Check the roots and shake the tree.
3. You can secure an additional 2-3 pieces with the northern expansion.

If you can't find it: Reset the map (rematch) or wait for it to respawn in night attack mode.

How to get apricots: Dam battlefield is iron plate

Like lemon, apricot is also a natural uncommon. Weight 0.2, stack 10. The total number required is 15 or more (Lv2-3: 3 pieces, Lv4-5: 12 pieces). Although all maps are generated, the dam battlefield is outstanding in terms of density.

1. Dam Battlefield: A crowded spot with few enemies (recommended level ★★★★★)

The landmark is the narrow tree near the red pond. There are few enemies and it is suitable for farming.

step by step:

1. Move to the central Akaike area of ​​the map.
2. We will tour 10 small trees in the surrounding area. The average is for each piece at the root and shaking.
3. You will also get Tuna under the cactus at the same time (Lv3 material).
4. You can make more than 10 pieces in 10 minutes.

2. Blue Gate: Lemon Simultaneous Farm

Set with lemon in an olive grove. Apricot will also be confirmed to be dropped at a later date.

Tips: Focus on checking fruit trees on hillsides.

3. Other maps: Buried City/Spaceport

Randomly generated throughout the area. Improve efficiency by using baskets.

Efficiency Farm God Tips: Complete all materials in 1 hour

1. Free loadout recommended: No weapons required. Collect them quickly and escape.
2. Tree shaking priority: Target only small trees with yellow-green leaves that can be interacted with.
3. Seasonal use of harvest: Get multiple basket materials at once.
4. Secure escape route: I will return immediately after collecting. Avoid PVP.
5. Solo or trust friends: Monitor each other as a group.
6. Waiting for respawn: Updated with night raids and map re-entry.
7. Simultaneous material collection: Blue Gate bulk (lemon + apricot + olive).

enemy avoidance:

• Snitch/Hornet: Medium ARC. Detect by sound.
• Bombardier: Explosion alert. Keep your distance.

Common problems and solutions

• It doesn't fall at all: Map reset or night raid. Check again at intervals between fruit trees.
• stolen in PVP: Free and low risk sortie.
• Overweight: Utilize stack 10. I'll sell it if I don't need it.
• Before release: The beginning of the game will be centered around a buried city.

Summary: Living an unrivaled life with Scrappy

If you collect lemons and apricots on the Blue Gate & Dam battlefield, you can immediately upgrade Scrappy. Once you reach all levels 5, you will be filled with materials and your crafting will become extremely fast. Use this guide to dominate the harsh battlefields of Arc Raiders.
