How to Feed Scrappy Different Fruits in ARC Raiders to Get Different Items? | The Player's Best Companion
Scrappy, a great companion for players, has always played a significant role in the game. Recently, I fed Scrappy a lot of fruit and thoroughly figured out how its new feeding system works. Scrappy has now become an extremely efficient looter; you can even get quite a few powerful items from it.
Below is a detailed explanation of Scrappy feeding mechanism, the corresponding ARC Raiders items for various fruits, the most worthwhile fruits to feed, and the locations where various fruits can be obtained.

Scrappy Feeding Mechanism
The new feeding function allows you to add fruit to the food queue. You can select any fruit from your inventory and add it to the queue; Scrappy will automatically eat it when you enter a raid.
As long as you enter a raid and stay for at least 6 minutes, the fruit at the top of the queue will be eaten, and you will always get a random item of the corresponding type.
Whether you successfully extract or die, the reward will always trigger as long as you stay for 6 minutes.
Once the fruit is placed in the queue, it doesn't need to be added repeatedly for the next five rounds; the system will automatically consume it sequentially.
You just need to play the game normally and then come back to collect the items found by Scrappy.
Of course, all of this is random. Each type of fruit has a fixed drop rate for items. It's worth noting that, based on my current testing experience, extending the raid time doesn't help increase the drop rate.
It's best to level up Scrappy first to maximize item acquisition efficiency.
Below are the items and resources needed to upgrade Scrappy.
- Level 1: None
- Level 2: 1x Dog Collar
- Level 3: 3x Lemons, 3x Apricots
- Level 4: 1x Cat Bed, 6x Prickly Pears, 6x Olives,
- Level 5 (Max): 3x Very Comfortable Pillows, 12x Mushrooms, 12x Apricots
Rewards for Each Fruit
Different fruits correspond to different workshop station materials. They don't drop basic materials; instead, they directly produce advanced materials and even finished products. The rewards for each fruit are detailed below.
Olives
Specifically used in Medical Workshop. They yield medical crafting materials or finished products, such as Durable Cloth, Antiseptic, Great Mullein, ARC Powercell, Tick Pod, etc. They do not provide basic materials like Fabric, Rubber Parts, or Plastic Parts.
Mushrooms
Related to Gear Bench items; they can even directly yield finished equipment. Many players have already obtained rare equipment like Safekeeper from Mushrooms.
Apricots
These yield Gunsmith crafting materials, and with luck, you can directly obtain weapons, including key items for crafting legendary weapons like Queen Reactor and Matriarch Reactor.
Lemons
Used in Explosives Station, primarily producing Explosives materials such as ARC Alloy, Crude Explosives, Battery, and Explosive Compound. With luck, you can also obtain powerful throwables like Wolfpack and Deadline.
Prickly Pears
Used in Utility Station, these can yield Mechanical Components, Ropes, Sensors, and even useful finished items like Photoelectric Cloak and Snap Hook.
Agaves
Specifically produce crafting materials for gun mods and accessories, including the Silencer 3, Kinetic Converter, and Horizontal Grip. Some mods don't even have Blueprints in the game yet can still be obtained from Scrappy, making them extremely valuable.
Fruit Mix
Can only be crafted in-game. The recipe is 1 Lemon + 1 Apricot + 1 Prickly Pear.
While it's supposed to be three fruits for one, this time it's a little different. Scrappy usually gives one fruit for one item, but this time the fruit combination usually gives you two items. And these items can be various ground materials.
In addition to random items, each fruit also provides 5 corresponding basic materials:
- Olives Fabric
- Mushrooms Plastic Parts
- Prickly Pears Rubber Parts
- Fruit Mix gives 5 each of Seeds, Plastic Parts, Metal Parts, Chemicals, Fabric, and Rubber Parts
This is one of the reasons why Fruit Mix is so cost-effective.
Most recommended fruits
Agave
Can yield rare items that cannot be crafted in-game, such as the Kinetic Converter and Horizontal Grip. With maximum strength and rarity, it's the best choice for feeding to.
Apricots
Stablely produce high-grade Gunsmith materials and even legendary weapon core components, suitable for players seeking powerful weapons.
Prickly Pears are suitable for players lacking Utility items, Lemons are suitable for players who need Explosives, and Mushrooms are more gear-oriented.
Locations for Various Fruits
- Fruit Baskets: The most stable and efficient source; two baskets always spawn at Stella Montis Cafeteria.
- Agaves: Primarily spawn in the area around Buried City, and can also be obtained from Fruit Baskets.
- Apricots, Lemons: Densely wooded areas in Damn Batvely at The Blue Gate.
- Prickly Pears: Pattern House and the outskirts of Buried City.
- Mushrooms: Spaceport is currently the best spawn point.
To quickly obtain fruit, prioritize Fruit Baskets; the efficiency is far higher than gathering them individually. These are the new features for feeding Scrappy fruits. Go test them out in the game!
