**Where to Find Apricots in ARC Raiders**
Some items in ARC Raiders are downright infuriating to collect, and Apricots are a prime example. You’ll need them to complete Scrappy’s progression path, but making it out of a raid with Apricots can be a real challenge. Here’s everything you need to know about finding Apricots in ARC Raiders.
**Where to Look for Apricots**
As a fruit, Apricots are primarily located in Nature loot zones. Keep an eye out for small white trees—Apricots often appear on the ground nearby. If you can interact with a tree, your character will kick it, giving you another chance to grab an Apricot. Always check the base of these trees for potential loot.
**Best Farming Locations for Apricots**
The most reliable place to find Apricots is **Marano Park** in Buried City. Stay close to the outskirts of the treeline: you’ll frequently come across fruit-bearing trees and should be able to pick up a few Apricots during your run. Marano Park presents a consistent opportunity for Apricot farming, though it’s not without its risks.
Another location worth checking is the Olive Grove on The Blue Gate. While Apricots can be found here, it’s a hotspot for PvP encounters. Both Lemons and Olives also spawn in the area, and high-value loot locations draw plenty of attention from other players.
**Hazardous Areas to Watch Out For**
Marano Park can be dangerous due to the presence of ARC patrols. Bastions, Leapers, and Bombadiers roam beneath the park’s canopy, and wandering Rocketeers are a common threat. Proceed with caution, as dying to ARC here is all too easy.
The Olive Grove, meanwhile, is risky due to frequent player activity. With so much valuable loot in one place, PvP encounters are common, so be prepared.
**Maximizing Your Apricot Farm**
For the best results, wait until Marano Park or The Olive Grove is under the **Lush Blooms** modifier. This event drastically increases the volume of loot in Nature zones, leading to many more opportunities for Apricots, Lemons, and even Olives. However, Lush Blooms also makes these areas busier and more competitive, intensifying the PvP risk.
**Tips for Efficient Apricot Farming**
If Apricots are your main goal, stick to Buried City and focus on Marano Park. Despite the dangers posed by ARC patrols, the threat from AI enemies is often more manageable than dealing with other players in PvP-heavy zones.
Always exercise caution: drawing big ARC attention in Marano Park is a quick way to end up back in Speranza empty-handed.
