Best Location to Find Lemons in ARC Raiders

Best Location to Find Lemons in ARC Raiders

To find Lemons in ARC Raiders, head to the northwest area of Blue Gate, which is currently the best and most consistent location for gathering Lemons. Like Apricots, Lemons are required to upgrade Scrappy from Level 2 to Level 3, and you’ll need 3 Lemons and 3 Apricots to complete this upgrade.

Why You Need Lemons

Lemons are a type of Nature Loot used in Scrappy’s upgrade system. To upgrade Scrappy from Level 2 → Level 3, you’ll need:

• 3× Apricots
• 3× Lemons

If you’ve already gathered your Apricots from Dam Battlegrounds (Red Lakes), Blue Gate is the perfect next stop to complete your collection.

Recommended Preparation

Before heading into Blue Gate, make sure you’re prepared for the run:

• Go in with a custom loadout that includes Safe Pockets through your augment.
  • This ensures that if you fail to extract, your Lemons are still safe and brought home to Scrappy.
• Use our Blue Gate Interactive Map to locate the Lemon Tree area quickly in the top northwest section of the map.

Step 1: Load into Blue Gate

Start by loading into Blue Gate, then open your map and mark a waypoint at the northwest region. This area is filled with natural growth and is the best-known Lemon farming spot currently available.

Step 2: Search the Northwest Village for Lemon Trees

Once you arrive at the northwest village area, begin exploring the patch of Lemon and Apricot Trees surrounded by buildings. This village is not a highly populated zone, making it a safer and more consistent farming spot compared to other areas — though it can still be dangerous, so stay alert for raiders.

You’ll find Lemons:

• On the ground beneath the trees.
• Falling when you interact with the tree by kicking it.

Not every Lemon Tree will have fruit each time you load in, but nearby trees usually will. Take your time gathering what you need, and if necessary, extract and return for another run to collect more for yourself or your teammates.

Step 3: Optional – Check Lush Blooms Event

If the Lush Blooms event is active, you can also visit Dam Battlegrounds to try your luck finding Nature Baskets, which may contain Lemons.
This is an alternative method and is mainly recommended if you’re already completing other quests on that map.

Step 4: Extract and Secure Your Lemons

Once you’ve collected the required number of Lemons, make sure to store them in your Safe Pocket to keep them secure in case you’re taken out.
Locate the nearest extraction point and extract safely back to Speranza to keep your loot.

What’s Next

With your 3 Lemons and 3 Apricots secured, you now have everything you need to upgrade Scrappy from Level 2 to Level 3. Return to your hideout and complete the upgrade to progress further.
