[ARC Raiders]A complete guide to obtaining mushrooms and a “very comfortable pillow” | List of all map locations to efficiently gather materials essential for the final strengthening of Scrappy, How to use the harvest season event, Thorough explanation of the loop route

ARC Raiders is a popular PvPvE cooperative survival shooter game distributed by Nexon. In this game, improving the workshop greatly determines the player's survival rate and efficiency. In particular, by training Scrappy, the chicken in the workshop, it will automatically collect basic materials. As a result, the crafting work in the second half will be much easier.

To train Scrappy to Level 5, the final level, you will need 12 Mushrooms, 12 Apricots, and 3 Very Comfy Pillows. The appearance rate of these materials is low, and mushrooms and pillows are especially difficult for beginner players.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain how to obtain these items, along with detailed locations on all maps. We have put together a strategy to aim for maximum efficiency in a single sortie, including how to utilize the harvest season event and efficient lap routes. Achieve the final strengthening of Scrappy in the shortest possible time and advance the game to your advantage.

Overall picture of Scrappy's role and training

Scrappy is a chicken-shaped automatic collection unit located in the workshop. As you progress through your training, the amount of materials you can collect will increase. The result is efficient access to basic resources such as metal parts, cloth, plastic parts, chemicals, rubber parts, and assorted seeds. Reaching maximum level early will speed up equipment creation and workshop upgrades.

Scrappy training ranges from level 1 to level 5, with each level requiring specific materials. Below is a table with a list of materials for all levels.

level	Required materials
level 2	dog collar x1
level 3	Lemon x3, apricot x3
level 4	Tuna x6, Olive x6, Cat bed x1
level 5	12 mushrooms, 12 apricots, 3 very comfortable pillows

Level 5 requires a particularly large amount of materials, and you will need 12 Apricots at once, up from 3 at Level 3, so it is important to collect them in parallel. Mushrooms and Pillows are natural materials and household items of Uncommon rarity, and are primarily used for field exploration. After completing training, Scrappy will automatically produce materials every time you sortie. Therefore, the investment value is very high.

Complete guide to mushrooms: Rarity, basic information, and list of all acquisition locations

Mushrooms are natural items of uncommon rarity and have a selling price of 1000. It is light in weight and can be stacked in large numbers, so you won't have any trouble storing it. The main use is to use 12 of them for Scrappy Level 5 Training, but they can also be used for other crafts. Their appearance has a strong random element and depends on the weather and generation for each match.

Basic method of collecting mushrooms

Mushrooms mainly appear growing on trees, fallen logs, the sides of pipes, or standing dead trees. Collect it by interacting with it and it will go into your inventory immediately. Since the spawn position is random for each match, the basic strategy is to go around the fixed spot. Take advantage of free loadouts and naked sorties to minimize risk.

Details of where to get mushrooms on all maps

1. Spaceport – Top recommended spot

Spaceport is a standard map for mushroom orbits because it is low in difficulty and easy to access. In particular, there is a steel plate near the “East Container Yard” on the north side.

• Tree near the east container storage area: A tree grows in the north area, and mushrooms are guaranteed to be generated 4 times (maximum of 4). Check the trunk and base of the tree. This is a hotspot that other players are also targeting, so choose an early spawn location.
• Circuit route: Immediately after descent, go directly to the east container. After that, collect the wood, put it in your safety pocket and immediately surrender (respawn). You can get 4 pieces within 5 minutes per round. You can clear 12 goals in 10 laps.
• Note: Due to the spawn delay, you may be taken by other players. Reduce competition by taking advantage of poor visibility by sortieing at night.

2. Dam Battlefield – Stable supply at multiple spots

Dam Battlefield is a map for beginners and has a variety of mushroom spawn patterns.

• Field storage near the test annex: There are many reports of 5 mushrooms appearing at once when examining the pot near the entrance. Also check inside the storage room.
• Red line around the hydroponic dome: 2 to 4 will appear on dead or fallen trees near the water (high probability on rainy days). It is essential to check the weather.
• Forest “debris” area: Randomly spawns during rainy weather. The search area is wide.
• Circuit route: Start from the test annex, go around the outer circumference of the hydroponic dome, and immediately escape. Apricots can also be harvested at the same time.

3. Other maps

• Underground area entrance: Appears sporadically near fallen trees and pipes.
• Buried Town: It's limited, but please check it out while exploring residential areas.

Massive surgery utilizing harvest season events

Lush Blooms is a randomly occurring map event that can be confirmed on the deployment screen. During this event, multiple baskets containing plant-based items will be placed throughout the map. There is a high probability that it will contain mushrooms.

• Characteristics of the basket: Looks like a fruit basket. The contents are random (mushroom, apricot, lemon, etc.) and you can get multiple pieces in one basket.
• How to use: Select an event occurrence map. Next, go through all the baskets (usually 4-6). As a result, you can get 2-6 or more mushrooms. If it occurs on the dam battlefield or spaceport, please join the battle immediately.
• Advantage: No need to go around and can obtain in large quantities. You can also collect apricots at the same time, so you can kill two birds with one stone through level 5.

Harvest Season Tips: This is an event that increases the amount of natural resources produced. It is easy to aim because it does not overlap with night attack or electromagnetic wave storm.

Complete guide to “very comfortable pillows”: Search route to overcome low appearance rate

“Very Comfy Pillow” is an uncommon household item and a material exclusive to Scrappy level 5 (requires 3). There is no confirmed spot, and it drops randomly, but it is concentrated around containers, shelves, and beds in residential and commercial areas. The appearance rate is low (1/10 search), so pinpoint search is the key.

Basic acquisition method

Pillows can be found in crates, shelves, on the floor, and in green trash cans throughout the building. Prioritize your safety pocket when taking it home. They are light in weight and only 3 pieces are required although they cannot be stacked.

Recommended acquisition route details for all maps

1. Buried City – the most efficient residential area

The map is small and has many residential areas, making it suitable for beginners.

• Grandioso Apartment: Enter immediately after descent. Thoroughly explore the shelves, containers, and bed areas in each room. You can also place it directly on the floor.
• Surrounding commercial buildings: We will also visit the buildings adjacent to the apartment. The expected value is 1-2 pieces per match.
• Route: Clear all rooms in the apartment. Then go around the commercial building and escape. It takes less than 10 minutes.

2. Dam Battlefield – Stable with lots of containers

• Test Annex: Open a number of crates. Also check surrounding buildings.
• Route: Go around all the crates inside the annex. Afterwards, explore the neighborhood and escape. Mushrooms can be used at the same time.

3. Blue Gate – High rewards for advanced users

Requires 18 rounds of release. After getting the keycard, head to the southeast area.

• Village/Abandoned Public Housing: Focus on areas around beds, shelves, and green bins.
• Route: Directly after release. We will conduct a full search of your home. It has a high rarity, so it's easy to get two or more, but there are a lot of enemies.

How to increase appearance rate

• Map reset tactic: Check only specific spots (such as apartments). If not, I will immediately leave and respawn. You can achieve 3 in 1 hour.
• Utilizing night attack events: There is a theory that increases the rare drop rate at night. Visibility is poor, but it's safe because it's centered inside the building.
• Free/Naked Sortie: Can be done repeatedly with zero risk.

Mushroom + pillow + apricot simultaneous efficient route

We recommend collecting them at the same time in order to conquer Level 5 all at once.

• Route 1: Buried Town Main → Collect pillows at houses. Collect apricots from fruit trees. Mushrooms are picked up sporadically.
• Route 2: Main dam battlefield → Go around mushrooms (hydroponic dome) + apricots (crowded) + pillows (annex).
• Event specialization: Harvest Season Dam Battlefield → Collect mushrooms/apricots in the basket. Afterwards, collect the pillows in the annex.

Now you can have all the ingredients ready in 1-2 hours.

Apricot Note: The best place for this is the dam battlefield. Gathered from trees, 12 pieces are required.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: What if no mushrooms appear?

A: Either empty the spaceport east container or wait for the harvest season. Rain dams are also effective.

Q: How can I increase the appearance rate of pillows?

A: We will specialize in housing containers and reset the map. Please try the night attack.

Q: What is the priority for strengthening Scrappy?

A: This is the top priority for all workshops. Material production supports the latter half of the game.
