**Where to Find Apricots in ARC Raiders**
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’ll need them to complete Scrappy’s progression path, and making it out of a raid with them can be a nightmare. Here’s where to find apricots in ARC Raiders—and how to safely bring them home.

### Where to Find Apricots in ARC Raiders
As a fruit, you’ll primarily find apricots in **Nature** loot zones, lying on the ground around small, white trees. Be sure to check if you can interact with each tree; if you can, your character will give the tree a good kick, which grants you another shot at scoring an apricot.
#### Best Locations to Find Apricots
**1. Marano Park (Buried City)**
The best place to find apricots is in Marano Park, located in Buried City. Stick to the outskirts of the treeline, and you’ll usually find several fruit-bearing trees—along with at least a few apricots.
**2. Olive Grove (The Blue Gate)**
Apricots can also appear in the Olive Grove on The Blue Gate. This area, however, is a hotbed for PvP encounters, as players come here in search of not just apricots, but also lemons and olives. Olive Grove is also close to several high-value loot locations, which adds to the player traffic and risk.

### Dangers to Watch Out For
Marano Park’s biggest challenge is the dangerous ARC that patrol the area. Expect to encounter Bastions, Leapers, and Bombadiers lurking beneath the park’s canopy. Wandering Rocketeers are a serious threat as well—I’ve personally died to them more times than I’d like to admit. If you’re farming apricots, be very careful and keep your movements stealthy to avoid drawing ARC attention.

### Maximize Your Apricot Farming with Lush Blooms
If you want the most efficient apricot farm, keep an eye out for when either main location is under the **Lush Blooms** modifier. Lush Blooms greatly increases the volume of loot in Nature zones, adding tons of extra opportunities for apricots, lemons, and potentially olives. Just remember: when Lush Blooms is active, PvP becomes much more intense—every raider is scrambling to capitalize on the boost.

### Final Tips
If apricots are your only goal, **stick to Buried City**. The threat of ARC around Marano Park is often a bigger deterrent than any enemy players could ever be. Proceed with caution—drawing too much ARC attention is a surefire way to end up back in Speranza empty-handed.
Good luck with your apricot hunt, and stay safe out there, Raiders!
