Knowing where to find Apricots in Arc Raiders is important when they become a key item to levelling up Scrappy the Rooster, your faithful scavenging sidekick. While they offer nothing more than a small stamina boost when consumed generally, once the chicken needs its fruit you'll really want to find them.
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.
Later on, your Scrappy upgrading journey will see you trying to find Arc Raiders Mushrooms as well, so check that guide when the time comes.
Arc Raider Apricot locations
The best way to find Apricots is to search Nature areas, marked on the maps above - Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City and Blue Gate. This is where you'll find them, as listed on the Arc Raiders Loot Cheat Sheet. I've highlighted the main areas to look in each location, which are:
- Dam Battlegrounds: Hydroponic Dome Complex
- Buried City: Marano Park
- The Blue Gate: Olive Grove and Trapper's Glade
As with all types of Arc loot, apricot locations are randomized each round. Sometimes they might not appear at all, but overall your best chance of finding them is to tag a Nature area on the map and head there to look. Apricots can be found in baskets or lying on the ground, but you mainly want to look for small trees like this one below in Arc Raiders:
As well as fruit often being on the ground around these trees, you can also approach then and interact to kick it and knock more fruit to the floor. Luck dictates if you find Apricots, Lemons, or something else growing on the tree, but usually you'll find a few options, and there should be at least a couple of options 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.
