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. Always check if you can interact with the tree because if you can, your character will kick it, giving you one more shot at getting an Apricot.
The best place to find Apricots in ARC Raiders is in **Marano Park** in Buried City. Stick to the outskirts of the treeline, and you’ll invariably encounter at least a few fruit-bearing trees and several 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, as you can also find Lemons and Olives there. Additionally, it’s close to a set of high-value loot locations, making it a contested area.
## Beware of Dangerous ARC in Marano Park
The biggest challenge in Marano Park is the dangerous ARC that patrol the area. I’ve encountered Bastions, Leapers, and Bombadiers patrolling beneath the Park’s canopy. I also died more than a few times to wandering Rocketeers.
If you want the most efficient Apricot farming, wait until either of the main locations is under the **Lush Blooms** modifier. Lush Blooms greatly increases the volume of loot in Nature zones, meaning tons of additional opportunities for Apricots, Lemons, and potentially Olives.
Keep in mind, however, that PvP becomes a much larger issue during Lush Blooms, as you won’t be the only Raider aiming to capitalize on the better loot.
## Final Tips
If Apricots are all you’re after, stick to Buried City. The threat of the ARC around Marano Park can be a more significant deterrent than enemy players. You’ll need to be cautious yourself, as attracting too much ARC attention is an easy ticket back to Speranza.
Happy hunting, Raiders!
