You're Probably Ignoring the Most Valuable Item in Arc Raiders
No, it's not some exotic weapon part. It's fucking seeds.
When you first start Arc Raiders, your inventory is a dumpster fire. It's an overwhelming tidal wave of scrap, junk, components, bits, and bobs. Most of us just Hoover up everything that isn't nailed down and hope for the best.
In that initial chaos, it's so easy to see "Assorted Seeds" and just ignore them. They look like vendor trash. They look like a pointless little flavor item.
I'm 90 hours into this game, and I'm here to tell you that you're a fool if you walk past them. Assorted Seeds are, unironically, one of the most valuable resources in the entire game.
The Vendor's Best Friend
Here's a scenario I know you've been in. You get back to Speranza, you're ready to upgrade your favorite gun, and... you're missing one stupid piece of scrap. Just one. And now you have to gear up for a whole-ass other run just for that.
This is why seeds are king.
You can take them straight to Celeste, the scrap vendor, and just buy what you're missing. I cannot tell you how many times I've been saved from another 30-minute run because I had a pocketful of seeds.
Sure, her inventory is limited on a 24-hour timer, especially for the high-end stuff. But for filling out those last few, annoying-as-hell gaps in a recipe? It's a lifesaver.
It's Also Just Free Money
So maybe you're all stocked up on scrap. Guess what? Seeds are still amazing.
They're worth 100 Arc monies. Each. Individually.
And unlike half the other crap you pick up, they stack. I'll do a quick run and come out with a stack of 20. That's 2,000 cash. Just like that.
You're not "wasting" an inventory slot on a 100-credit item. You're filling one slot with thousands of credits. It's the most efficient cash farm in the game that doesn't feel like a grind.
Where to Find This Green Gold
Apart from your good ol’ pall scrappy, you can find seeds in most of the "nature" areas, but the classic spot is the Hydroponic Dome Complex on the Dam Battlegrounds map. It's crawling with bots and, because it's high-tier loot, other players. So, you know, be careful.
But if you really want to hit the jackpot, you head to the new Stella Montis map.
There's a spot there called the Seed Vault. And it is fucking insane. I'm not kidding, I've walked out of there with 60 to 80 seeds on a single run. That's 8,000 cash, or a "get out of farming free" card for the next few rounds.
So, stop sleeping on seeds. They're the difference between a night of frustrating "one more runs" and just building your loadout, repairing your gear, and getting back into the fight. Grab 'em.
