You might think that your weapons or gear or inventory items are the most important elements of your Arc Raiders account, but the answer is, actually, your pet chicken. At the start of Arc Raiders, you'll be gifted Scrappy, a chicken that can collect resources for you while you're out killing enemies during a drop. To make Scrappy even stronger, it can be upgraded to be even better at its job.
Like all upgrades in Arc Raiders, Scrappy requires some specific resources every time you go to advance its level. If you want to progress Scrappy to level three, you'll need to acquire three lemons and three apricots. While this might sound like a trivial task, just wait until you learn how rare lemons and apricots can be in Arc Raiders.
In general, you'll be able to loot lemons and apricots on the ground at the base of trees. However, you can also kick some trees to get fruit to fall onto the ground, which you can then scoop up. Consider that a bonus addition to our Arc Raiders tips. The number of available trees during a drop wildly varies in Arc Raiders, and this includes trees that you both can and can't shake. Both lemons and apricots are "green" loot items, so they tend to stick out more than more common loot you find on the ground.
When you drop into a match, you should initially look for the "Nature" icon on your map. These areas generally have the highest chances of spawning trees, but again, this isn't guaranteed. You could also find trees in these areas, but there won't be any lemons or apricots on the ground (both before and after you kick them).
If you're looking for the highest chance of finding lemons and apricots in Arc Raiders, you'll want to head to The Blue Gate map and search around Olive Grove, which is located on the southern side of the map, just below the Checkpoint. Usually, there are a fair number of trees spread out amongst this area, and most of the time, you'll find either lemons or apricots, and sometimes even both. However, you'll also find a solid number of olives, hence the name of the location.

While Olive Grove isn't an inherently dangerous location on The Blue Gate map, you'll want to keep a vigilant eye out for enemy players who are also searching for lemons and apricots. The Olive Grove has become a hotspot for this very reason, and players who aren't even looking for the fruits will camp out here waiting for players to come along who are trying to upgrade Scrappy.
For any players who don't want to rely on the tree method for acquiring lemons and apricots in Arc Raiders, there is a secondary way to add the fruits to your inventory. This is by searching baskets on maps, which can be found in most buildings and houses you come across. The Buried City is the best map to find baskets, as they are located in several locations, most notably the Grandioso Apartments and the Santa Maria Houses.

Finally, to boost your chances of finding lemons and apricots on any map in Arc Raiders, you'll want to keep an eye out for the Lush Blooms event. This event can be hosted at any time, and it provides a flat buff to the number of fruits and other vegetation that spawn on a map. The map the event is hosted on seems to be random, so if you happen to see the event occurring on a map you have unlocked, it's best to hop in and see what you can find.
