Some of the items you need to find in ARC Raiders can be downright infuriating to collect, and Apricots are one of the prime examples. You need them to complete Scrappy’s progression path, and getting out of a raid with them can be a nightmare. Here’s where to find Apricots in ARC Raiders.
### Where to Find Apricots in ARC Raiders
As a fruit, you’ll primarily find Apricots in Nature loot zones on the ground around small, white trees. Be sure to check if you can interact with the tree — if you can, your character will kick it and give you an additional chance at getting an Apricot.
The best place to find Apricots in ARC Raiders is **Marano Park** in **Buried City**. Keep to the outskirts of the treeline, and you’ll invariably encounter a few fruit-bearing trees with Apricots.
I’ve also found Apricots in the **Olive Grove on The Blue Gate**, but unlike Buried City, the Olive Grove is a hotbed for PvP. There, you can also find Lemons and Olives, and the area is close to several high-value loot locations.
### Beware of the ARC in Marano Park
The biggest challenge Marano Park presents is the dangerous ARC that patrol the area. You might encounter Bastions, Leapers, and Bombadiers beneath the park’s canopy. I’ve also died more than a few times to wandering Rocketeers.
### Best Time to Farm Apricots
If you want the most efficient Apricot farm, wait until either main location is under the **Lush Blooms** modifier. Lush Blooms greatly increases the volume of loot in Nature zones, offering many more opportunities to collect Apricots, Lemons, and potentially Olives.
However, PvP becomes a much larger issue during Lush Blooms, as you won’t be the only Raider looking to capitalize on the enhanced loot.
### Final Tips
If Apricots are all you’re after, stick to Buried City. The threat from the ARC around Marano Park can be a larger deterrent than enemy players. Be careful, as drawing significant ARC attention is an easy ticket back to Speranza.
With these tips, you should have a smoother experience farming Apricots in ARC Raiders!
