Knowing where to find Apricots in Arc Raiders may not seem that useful at first, as they offer nothing more than a small stamina boost when consumed. However, they are actually a key item when it comes to levelling up Scrappy the Rooster, your faithful scavenging sidekick. You'll need three Apricots in order to train Scrappy to Level 3 (and spoiler alert: for a higher level later on) so it pays to know how to get this elusive fruit. With that in mind, here's how to get Apricots.

The best places to find Apricots is to search areas marked on the map as having loot in the Nature category, as confirmed by the listing on our extensive Arc Raiders Loot Cheat Sheet. On the maps above we've highlighted the main areas to look, which are:

Dam Battlegrounds: Hydroponic Dome Complex
Buried City: Marano Park
The Blue Gate: Olive Grove and Trapper's Glade

There are no areas marked as containing Nature loot on the Spaceport map, and we'll need to wait for the Arc Raiders Stella Montis map to be unlocked before we can confirm if there are locations worth checking there as well. As with all types of loot, the locations of Apricots are randomized each round and they may not appear at all, but your best chance of finding them is to stick to these areas.

While Apricots can be found in baskets or lying on the ground, you want to look out for fruit trees such as the one pictured above as they may have Apricots growing on them. As well as fruit often being on the ground near them, you can approach then interact with the tree to kick it and knock more to the floor. Luck dictates if you find Apricots, Lemons, or something else growing on the tree, but there should be at least a couple of them in proximity bearing different fruit.

You should also check the world map to see if any of the individual locations have the Nature loot symbol next to them, as this means the Lush Blooms status effect is on that location for a limited time. This will increase the amount of Nature loot that spawns, significantly increasing your chances of finding Apricots by searching the specified locations.
